Facebook's Libra is seen as a threat to the control that has been centralized in governments to this point.  Relinquishing that control - even to a consortia of wealthy companies rather than just Facebook - is not something that is going to happen without a fight.  As to how dirty that fight will get and the implications for already existing cryptos and the ultimate roll out (or shelving) of Libra - that is left to be seen... 

"The blockchain" won't make "the supply chain more transparent for consumers" but there are blockchains that can be structured in such a way that the public can access supply chain information in a permissioned manner. The organizations building out the individual blockchain networks will have to choose blockchains with the appropriate infrastructure or build layers on top of the blockchain to facilitate such access.  The real questions here may be, with blockchain implementations, will we see which companies want to keep their supply chains obscure and what will we do about it as consumers?  

As people will be looking at the CREBACO report as a resource to know which exchanges are high quality and safe and which are not, there is a big responsibility in this choice.  To be globally relevant, the list needs to include the exchanges that have ease of access for citizens of countries around the world.  Unless the list is going to be only "best of", there would be a value to the community in taking 3-5 of the top exchanges by volume and doing an analysis on them that includes any evidence of wash trading, price manipulation, evidence of pay to play, etc.    For the remaining slots, you could come up with categories like "best UX/UI", "best customer service", "best track record", "best for a beginner", "lowest fees" etc. to give the community a focus point when selecting an exchange... Just a few thoughts. Hope this is helpful.  

Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and Pricewaterhouse Coopers are ALL heavily invested in the integration of blockchain into enterprise level organizations.  Regulatory uncertainty has been an issue for them all and most of their focus has been on POC's and not large scale implementations. 

However, Deloitte's recent global blockchain survey highlighted "Blockchain Gets Down to Business"!  The hope here is that their POC's will start to convert into widespread implementation of blockchain solutions that can show ROI.

EY has boldly stated that "Blockchain will do for networks of enterprises and business ecosystems what enterprise resource planning (ERP) did for the single company." (I did get a chuckle that ey.com also opined, "blockchain will.... increase protection against cybersecurity.") EY seems to be angling toward serving connective blockchain networks..

KPMG is leaning heavily on its relationship with Microsoft and focusing on blockchain services on the cloud.  It proves out that this is a fast-paced time even for multi billion dollar companies when they can't finish their sentences correctly...“Additionally, KPMG member firms offer collaborative services with Microsoft, combining Microsoft's blockchain and cloud technologies with our extensive offerings and expertise, know much.“  https://home.kpmg/xx/en/home/insights/2017/02/digital-ledger-services-at-kpmg-fs.html 

PWC is still focused on whether blockchains are trustworthy and the reality that most executives are still struggling to understand implementation and justify cost... 

ALL 4 seem to still be in education and executive hand-holding mode and are really starting to highlight the power of network effect. 

Whose network will dominate globally?  That remains to be seen...

This is just a super rudimentary analysis and would benefit from multiple perspectives and reviews....

Looking forward to others adding to this and to the organizations mentioned fixing their websites.. ;)  It doesn't matter if you are an enterprise organization, one of the big four, the Fortune 500 or a bootstrapping startup, WE ARE ALL A WORK IN PROGRESS. ;) 

By "How does this work?" with no noun to connect "this" to for context, I'm going to make the leap of logic that you are referring to the Q and A.... You have anonymously asked the question so I have no way to connect with you directly and answer any other interpretations of your question unless you respond to my reply. I'm going to take a stab at a quick tutorial for you:

The Q &A can be answered by any experienced contributor on the site and will not show up in the feed until it has been approved and received one answer.  Questions are searchable by key words and will remain available for future reference and comment over time.  If you would like more clarification, you can respond to this answer and the conversation can be continued...  

As you will be reminded, please proofread your response before you submit. You cannot edit your response after it has been submitted. You can save drafts of your answers to return to work on them. 

Feel free to ask questions that get the community thinking or that provide a value-add by educating about something that others might not yet be aware of...

You can answer your own questions if you are an experienced contributor, but your questions should be soliciting the community's feedback as well.

I hope this gave you additional perspective on how this works.

Definitely still in the early days!  When I first embarked on this journey in 2012, we were in a bit of a blocky dingy, but I've decided that the row over choppy seas has been worthwhile... It feels like we are just pulling up to the ocean liner that is anchored in the harbor.  People on-boarding now definitely haven't missed the boat!  Now is a great time to engage in adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  The journey to mass adoption is just beginning...
