Red-conomia y otras bestias

A principios de los 90 se hablaba de TCP/IP + SMTP + NNTP , que son los protocolos de comunicación electrónica que hicieron crecer internet (TCP/IP es el protocolo que subyace a las comunicaciones entre todos los ordenadores conectados a la red, SMTP es el protocolo para enviar emails y NNTP el protocolo para las news, especie de foros en internet)

Dentro de unos años miraremos atrás y observaremos en lo que se ha convertido internet. Creo que entonces probablemente tendramos que hablar de Bitcoin + Ethereum + IPFS como los fundamentos de la nueva internet. Eso pasará en menos de 10 años, posiblemente mucho menos

Así que os voy poniendo al tanto de ello

Bitcoin: es la red que ha puesto los pilares y sobre las que probablemente se apoye la netconomía , esto es las relaciones económicas basadas en redes

Ethereum: es el ordenador onmipresente sobre el que corren las relaciones comerciales y económicas entre los agentes de la red . Esto parece tremendamente complicado, pero creerme, es realidad y puede que dentro de muy poco lo estéis usando sin saberlo

IPFS: Si lo de Bitcoin te parece esotérico, y si lo de Ethereum te suena de otra galaxia,  prepárate para IPFS, el systema interplanetario de ficheros. Una especie de disco duro del tamaño de la tierra donde todo , es decir, todo , estará guardado.

Netconomics and other beasts ....

Luego lo traduzco, pero me ha gustado el término netconomics y como soy un romántico he registrado el dominio netconomics.com que curiosamente estaba libre (.co y .net tambien)

What does it really mean? Has anybody done any analysis of what would happen and how this could happen? I bet nobody has, and I am going to be one of the first ones to do so.

I am Enrique Melero, technology passionate on computers, programming, free software and networks. I was one of those privilege people who had an account in our Unix research computer at the University and could use email and other wonders since 1994. I am very new to the blockchain technology, but I have some previous experience designing distributed systems for distribution of real time trade information that did not see the light of day. When I had the chance to learn about the technology behind Bitcoin I got inmediately interested by the it and by its possibilities. Like many others, first time I heard about Bitcoin I thought that it was, quoting Andreas M Antonopoulos, "nerd money"

Besides that I am economist with over 20 years working in the financial services industry. I have been employed by IBM, Nokia and Reuters and since 2006 I have been working in treasury and finance departments of a couple of banks. I am not an expert in equity or bond trading and clearing systems, but I have some relevant experience and I think this can help me to try understand what Wall Street is Embracing the Blockchain really means.

The SEC has granted license to a startup to use its blockchain to issue Equity.
This to me sounds as saying that SEC has allowed a company to use excel to provide a list of the investors who will initally participate in public offerings. This is not really disruptive, the SEC cannot certainly prevent you from using excel, word or an abacus, to do your maths and even to keep your records before the company is formally in existence.

who cares .... jump to something else
