In 2012, Jonathan Benassaya discovered Bitcoin and blockchain technology through Wences Casares, famed entrepreneur and cryptocurrency advocate. While the notion of cryptocurrency may have seemed outlandish at the time, the technological innovation and potential impact of the blockchain - a worldwide, secure, and distributed system - was nothing short of revolutionary.
For the first time in history, a transactional architecture without any physical boundaries or limitations, completely free from governmental oversight or intermediation, was created. In contrast to the birth of Internet, billions of computers and a large communication network already existed, thereby providing the infrastructure for blockchain technology and its native currencies to flourish and thrive. Fast forward to 2017, the digital asset market is experiencing unprecedented and meteoric growth, with application development for the blockchain also occurring at a record pace. The comparisons to the early days of the Internet are not only inevitable, but eerily similar. Reminiscent of the late 1990s, we are embarking on a new world order that is destined to forever change how we view financial services, technology, and governmental involvement. Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology hold the promise of revolutionizing the global monetary system, just as the Internet permanently altered how we communicate and access information. For the greater population, however this new revolution is challenging to not only understand, but also to participate in. Enter IronChain Capital, a new company focused on a singular and all-important mission: to provide all investors with easy and secure access to the cryptocurrency asset class, on a highly cost-effective and diversified basis.
