Swift with its 10,000 member banks, is moving into blockchain-secured cryptocurrency to counter

JP Morgan's initiative

The Interbank Information Network (IIN) is a consortium of 75 banks which have adopted JP Morgan's JPM coin as their payment system to move a total of $17T per day for their customers

These are in fact payment systems relying on a highly secure distributed ledger platform. The distributed ledger (DL) is either a blockchain or a hedera hashgraph ledger, using cryptography algorithms. JP Morgan's JP Coin is one such system.

At the other extreme is bitcoin, a financial instrument and because it is not issued by the Central Bank is  falsely marketed as a currency., a legal tender. It is not. This is why, legally, its transactions are treated as a money transfer instrument and are solely used because of its extremely secure electronic transfer technology, the blockchain. Once the transaction reaches the beneficiary, it can be converted at a fixed predetermined rate, into a real currency, generally the dollar.

Very few licenses have been granted by regulators to set up exchanges to trade bitcoins. In China, these have been banned

We see  the INTERNET as comprised of 3 interdependent technology pillars: THE INTERNET (the computer network), THE CLOUD (the computer resources on demand),  and THE WEB (the computer's user interface, aka platform). The Computer's Software: The Internet, the Cloud and the Web now operate on the same software standards: i) Unix as the computer's operating system, , ii) TCP/IP as the computer network's operating system (see Internet Protocol Suite), iii) object programming languages such as Python, Java, and HTML5. The Computer's Hardware: To see how the computer then  electronically executes a Python or a Java progam on its CPU binary data processor, read this article.

We've identified 12 technologies, described in the boxes below
