Miko Matsumura, General Partner, Gumi Ventures spoke about enterprise blockchain, open source, and digital payment platforms. A few interesting assertions came up, such as: “Internet is printing its own Money”, and “Open Source Money, will Eat all Money”. Open Source commoditises and lowers the cost of infrastructure and accelerates innovation. The force behind open source according to Mike is ‘consent’, such as consent to develop, consent to use. So, the most consent creates the most power and value. Open source has a strong peer review process, and good open source scores higher in the consent matrix. Interesting is that proprietary software gets drawn into this and is forced to compete with open source. Critical for success of digital currencies to be used by enterprises is that dollars are being transacted, so it is important to have banks incorporated in the digital currency transactions.
