00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.562 align:center
In order for IBM to still

00:00:01.602 --> 00:00:03.304 align:center
be relevant in the future, they

00:00:03.404 --> 00:00:06.387 align:center
need to embrace the software, right?

00:00:08.710 --> 00:00:09.451 align:center
What does IBM do?

00:00:10.051 --> 00:00:13.135 align:center
Running 70% of the internet, including

00:00:13.175 --> 00:00:14.837 align:center
all the financial transactions, which is

00:00:14.897 --> 00:00:15.257 align:center
insane.

00:00:19.042 --> 00:00:20.423 align:center
But you know, technically, what is

00:00:20.623 --> 00:00:21.004 align:center
happening?

00:00:21.064 --> 00:00:23.707 align:center
Like, as we are shifting from

00:00:23.987 --> 00:00:26.530 align:center
databases to blockchains, like...

00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:28.393 align:center
Bank A has his database.

00:00:28.413 --> 00:00:30.215 align:center
Bank B has his database.

00:00:30.235 --> 00:00:31.517 align:center
Your database is not going to

00:00:31.537 --> 00:00:32.679 align:center
look like my database.

00:00:32.699 --> 00:00:34.842 align:center
But blockchains is like, wait, you

00:00:34.922 --> 00:00:35.983 align:center
use the same blockchain as I.

00:00:36.203 --> 00:00:37.405 align:center
Now it's like easy.

00:00:37.425 --> 00:00:39.067 align:center
So they approached us in February,

00:00:39.087 --> 00:00:39.348 align:center
March.

00:00:39.688 --> 00:00:41.811 align:center
We just hit yesterday general availability

00:00:41.951 --> 00:00:42.452 align:center
at IBM.

00:00:42.552 --> 00:00:43.774 align:center
So that means that now it's

00:00:43.994 --> 00:00:45.156 align:center
actually rubber stamp.

00:00:45.176 --> 00:00:46.638 align:center
Everything's like, you know, good to

00:00:46.678 --> 00:00:46.858 align:center
go.

00:00:47.138 --> 00:00:48.340 align:center
In my view, as someone who's

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:49.421 align:center
been in the space for years,

00:00:49.762 --> 00:00:51.404 align:center
this relationship is one of the

00:00:51.444 --> 00:00:55.109 align:center
most exciting, high upside, real applications

00:00:55.169 --> 00:00:55.750 align:center
of this technology.

00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:57.213 align:center
It's a shift.

00:00:57.233 --> 00:00:57.916 align:center
It's a turning point.

00:00:57.936 --> 00:00:59.039 align:center
The blockchain is one of the

00:00:59.099 --> 00:01:01.186 align:center
most fundamental technologies since the early

00:01:01.227 --> 00:01:02.471 align:center
days of the internet.

00:01:02.491 --> 00:01:04.257 align:center
Blockchain is going to change transactions.

00:01:04.477 --> 00:01:06.123 align:center
What the internet did for information,

00:01:06.504 --> 00:01:08.250 align:center
the blockchain will do for transactions.
