Digital Currency & CryptoCurrency advisor.Thought Leadership and Shaper in digital money/crypto-currencies and Blockchain technology.Wener Howards’ operational and start-up banking experience gives him a unique perspective on the Blockchain/Bitcoin protocol and the emerging Bitcoin & Blockchain Ecosystem.Bitcoin is revolutionary...a state-of-the-art, pseudo-anonymous peer-to-peer (p2p) digital cryptocurrency with no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions.Bitcoin is both a payment system protocol and a means of transferring value between individuals and businesses using bitcoins instead of state-sponsored (fiat) money.Bitcoin is the world's first digital cryptocurrency - a private and digital alternative to the existing State & Central Bank controlled printed and electronic bank (fiat) money. Instead, issuing new money (bitcoins) and verifying transactions is managed collectively by the decentralised Bitcoin p2p network and recorded in the public ledger of all bitcoin transactions known as the Blockchain. I am a passionate advocate of both Bitcoin & Blockchain technology to promote efficiency advances in money/payments/settlements to financial services, the media and indeed to anyone whom I may meet.Currently leading startups in a Bitcoin spread-betting and Bitcoin trading.
