NickAyton about crypto app tokes : Only today, Corporate Banking Vice Chairman Jeremy Wilson at Barclays recently announced in City A.M. 30th Jan 2017. ‘Blockchain will change not just finance, but the lives of everyone. Our view is that if it’s that significant we better get our heads around it’… Blockchain is here, but who to believe? The Head of Strategy is looking for incremental improvement compared to peers, the head of IT wants more money to spend papering over the cracks trying to hold tech that is struggling to keep pace, the CFO wants to cut costs and thinks too much is spent on IT anyway, and the Chairman often focuses on maintaining consensus hoping that each storm passes and they get away with just a few cuts and scratches.
