This was expedited by the UK, it being one of the first markets to allow equity-based crowdfunding, ahead of the larger US market which erred on the side of caution with the Jobs Act. As well as the more favourable tax break incentives for angel investors, such as EIS and SEIS, already being in place. Some countries, like Italy, have restricted the type of company.

http://www.jamieburke.co.uk/open-capital-series-crowdfunding-p2p-lending-crypto-currency

Now, ‘Open Capital’ was the more emergent and least known or understood of them all. ‘Crowdfunding’ was just beginning to make its way into the digital, rather than popular, vernacular and was very much part of a niche creative-arts scene, far from the runaway mainstream success it has become today. The fact that Open Capita...

Open Capital Review (Part 2): BITCOINS, BLOCKCHAIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY & DARK MARKET. Post in Open Capital. The more recent and by far the most revolutionary addition to ‘ Open Capital. First off let’s start with Bitcoin, because it is the buzzword most people have heard being thrown about.

Who wins in a Decentralized World? Imagine a world where we didn’t need to trust large corporations. Even our own governments. Welcome to the ‘Decentralized World’. One born of blockchains. Some say an impossible utopia or a mental leap too far. However we are glimpsing that this world may just be possible. When you imagine this world, you should quickly arrive at the question;. What is the role of a company or government body in this new reality? What shape does governance take, if any shape at all?

Say hello to the New Facebook Killer & its not Ello. I’m going to assume by now you have at least heard of Ello dubbed ‘The Facebook Killer’ or ‘Anti Facebook Social Network’ because of its pledge to not sell user data to 3rd parties or feature advertising. It’s model is instead charging users for the features (yet to be built) beyond the basic account. At its peak it was getting 30,000 requests to join an hour and even saw people auctioning invites on eBay. Whilst a few are undoubtedly driven by the exc...

http://www.jamieburke.co.uk/the-revolution-will-be-decentralised
The Revolution will be Decentralized. So there are calls from certain celebrities. For total (albeit peaceful) revolution in society and quite right too. But despite the hubris there are few practical alternatives put forward beyond outright abstinence from the current system. Don’t pay taxes. Don’t vote. With 40% of the UK already not voting. And large portions of society from the black-market cleaners, tradesmen. OK but why is Decentralisation a good thing? Smaller states are more accountable because t...
