There’s been a change on the conference scene lately. Where there used to be a new Bitcoin conference popping up at every turn, now blockchain conferences have become more frequent and popular. This last blockchain conference held in San Francisco drew attendance from heavy hitters Intel, Microsoft and IBM.
According to Aldo Carrascoso, founder and COO of Align Commerce, Inc., people are growing more interested in what kinds of applications are possible with blockchain. He told Jeff Frick, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, that his own company has been successful targeting one specific problem with blockchain: those annoying fees banks charge to transfer funds across borders.
Align Commerce allows people in 60 countries to transfer funds through email and avoid international transfer fees, said Carrascoso.
