What was your motivation to put your business on the blockchain and furthermore, why NXT?
After spending the best part of a year (BTCOR/CORE Turned 1 year old on Feb 10th) https://nxtforum.org/asset-exchange-general/btcor/ , getting up to speed with what Crypto is all about, I reached the conclusion that this is an ideal, integrity based system, that would prohibit businesses of the future from becoming mammoth corporations, with no sense of moral responsibility, that have basically stolen the wealth from the very people they were originally designed to service. Instead, blockchain technology will allow individuals to share in the wealth by owning a share by either investing in, or working on, the strengths of an enterprise/company and survive or be destroyed on its merits and the values that it represents.
By making investment in businesses more accessible to the average person with a smart phone and a globalized currency like bitcoin, Company’s will no longer have such monopolies because of the limited investment potential that is created by centralized stock markets and stock listing platforms such as the FTSE, NYSE and the plethora of other investment houses that make it practically impossible for literally Billions of people with just a few dollars to make a challenge for higher standards and ethical practices because of solid, moral choices, that underpin a business model that seeks to encourage change for the better.
It is strange that the in the English language, we choose to use the word ‘Company’ for business, which describes a group of people, where in reality, a ‘Company’ is a fictional, non-life form, that has all the benefits of a human and more. It can live forever, It can never go to jail, it does not bleed, sweet, or sleep. It does not appreciate the responsibility of raising children with moral fibre, in fact it has no responsibility in terms of ensuring a healthy mind, body and spirit since it is not a living entity.
In mind my, I feel that business and commerce should be a method to enhance the societies it supports. They were never designed to suck the wealth from the people they serve, but because of the greed and nature of the modern Company, it is on a perpetual course to forever grow itself bigger, to the detriment of mankind itself, who are supposed to be the actual beneficiaries of the resources of Earth. This Legacy that was once ours, now mostly belongs to these lifeless entities. They have not only stolen our inheritance, but rules have been put in place that are designed to never let us challenge their existence.
It appears that the latest Trade agreement TPPA is the feather in its broad rimmed cap. This is cause for us to tremble in fear imho, for what is about to be unleashed upon us and I fear that we may have reached a critical mass from which there may be little to no way of turning back the clock, save a catastrophic event.
