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
