in the case of the financial services company, for whatever it is doing in the USA, at say 100K, because of the far less litigious nature of ex-USA shores, for exactly same same, clients are paying 15K

and that international SME market is a loooooooot bigger in aggregate than the usa market

also, lots of large usa clients have overseas subsidiaries wanting to buy the same product the parent company is buying, buy at current cost structure, w/o dramatic automation, the financial services company is hard pressed to scale into an easy market where it already knows well many of the would be clients

blockchain can enable access, and therefore the imperative

like being invited to an orgy but do not have the right outfit to get through the door, like missing a tie

you see the setup?

take for example Tesla and its very problematic cars

to insure in usa, given its litigation cultural trait, cost annually say 10Y, whereas overseas for exactly the same car, driver, and kilometres per annum, would cost, say for example, Y, by orders of magnitude

any company insuring Tesla cars in the USA has the knowhow to insure Tesla cars anywhere, only tweaking regulatory and labour / parts differentials, and subtract out the litigation BS

and there are a lot more Teslas outside of the USA than inside

but without trusted, secure, decentralised, true-history daisy chain of happenings, and depending instead on human drones passing e-mails around, and entering and re-entering data one Excel spreadsheet - whoa! not doable

Now think if whatever the business, there are 1000Xs ex-USA to each X inside USA (so we are not talking about cars of any particular brand, and not really talking about car insurance :0), should we go for the money if all it takes is block-chaining a very familiar process and automating it all with IoT added on to, say, Teslas that also actuarialise dash cams and driving habits as recorded by on-board computers?

Even better, what if the business actually involves different Tesla cars but the same set of drivers just going from country to country checking in on their assets here there and everywhere?

The pickles and dimes, at 1000X to X, Y to 10Y, can add up fast, especially if just involving auto depositing money for the asking from exactly the very same driving customers

The proverbial money left on table

Even better than better, right now the products are not traded bu domain / coverage risk, but after block chain, can be, just token it all, with each contract traceable to a particular dash cam, and automatically extinguished when crashed or expired, to be replaced by another tranche of premium, and and and

The business that is comprised of 10Y and X now yields 16% annually in the aggregate

The business does not scale at all by 1970s technology (loss of 25% per annum if tried to scale) and is only done by littler local domestic outfits, or not done at all

The business does not scale well w/ current technologies in use, Excel spreadsheets and e-mails

Block-chain is the magic sauce

and creates an entirely new class of traceable assets that can easily yield 16% for all the piggies feeding at the teats, and be milked for 50% arrangement fees for all the watchers and do-ers, resulting in 8% return to new capital providers looking for yields

You see?

I know you do, because you noted, 'Scary'

New metaverse under construct, and the blackhole borne by such shall engulf all

Think also, for example, the example I used awhile back, tokenised equity and bond trading 24/7 without daylight in between trigger-pull and settlement. etc etc

Also, ability with proper custodial, to turn capital gains into annuity income, and to turn annuity flow into capital gain, mix and match depending of what one set of customers might want, and another might need, per tax regime shopping, etc etc

Blockchain it all!!! Just collateralised smart-contracting autonomous, decentralised, and just out there, traded, settled, and hoarded, and leveraged as only continuously-adjusting block-chained counter parties can do, at up to 200:1 per Binance, FTX etc etc

The age of fusion-powered autonomous / decentralised financial services shedding light on stone-age darkness.

Bitcoin Could Eventually Collapse, Swedish Central Banker Warns

The governor of Sweden’s central bank compared buying and selling Bitcoins to trading stamps, questioning the staying power of currencies without government backing.

“Private money usually collapses sooner or later,” Riksbank Governor Stefan Ingves said at a banking conference in Stockholm. “And sure, you can get rich by trading in bitcoin, but it’s comparable to trading in stamps.

While Bitcoin has gained from endorsements by the likes of Elon Musk and Cathie Wood of Ark Investment Management, some central bankers have compared to the tulip bubble of the 17th century, which ended in collapse.

Ingves said earlier this year that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are unlikely to escape regulatory oversight as their popularity grows.
