Did You Know that There Is a Baby Blockchain Whose Parents Are Argentinian?

By Moris Beracha.- 

Technology helps human beings every day; however, some people become obsessed with it and seek to be the pioneers when transforming some type of previously established procedure.

Argentines Santiago Siri and Pia Mancini can be a clear example of a couple who lives and dreams of technology, since they are the parents of the first blockchain baby.

Roma Siri was born on November 8, 2015, and now is 2 years and 10 months, but she is still considered the first human whose birth was registered in the decentralized database.

The girl’s parents have been working for several years to develop blockchain-related projects, including democracy.earth and are partners of Bitex, one of the largest exchanges in the region.

In November 2015, Siri made the decision to register his daughter’s birth in the Bitcoin blockchain.

“Roma became the first human being to be registered in the decentralized database, even before in any other registry. The birth’s video was registered as a trial and identified with the code: bc692d6a663a0dc8886431d0c685df6cc380e7b71125edc2401527a32d87c4b1”, Santiago Siri told different media.

He regrets that many people regard the registration as “eccentric”, but said that his wife supported the initiative, which in his opinion, will bring excellent benefits for the baby’s future.

“Those close to me already know how passionate I am about blockchain and civic technologies in general. My family probably thinks I’m a bit crazy, but when I consulted Pia to do this she gave me her full support. She’s also a firm believer in the revolutionary implications that this new wave of the Internet can have for generations to come,” he said.

Finally he says his daughter is a citizen of Earth.

“It is a powerful statement that declares her a citizen of Earth. Decentralized networks open the way to personal sovereignty,” said the computer scientist, who has been based in the United States for some years.

Blockchain, cryptocurrency, and other innovative techs have significant disruptive potential. Within the course of time, this fact becomes obvious not only for community enthusiasts but also for traditional industry players. That is probably the major reason for world electronic bulls to explore the innovative possibilities to boost their own progress. Microsoft showed interest in blockchain technology back in 2018. They announced their plans to apply the technology behind Bitcoin (the leading crypto by market cap) in its decentralised IDs (DIDs) App. The company was support DLT-based DIDs through Microsoft Authenticator App. However, as of now, the project seems to be frozen.    Unstoppable IBM    IBM, another technological giant, has has shown interest in exploring blockchain and cryptocurrency techs even earlier, in 2015. As of now, the company is known to take part in several related projects.   In January 2019, Ford Motor comp...

Cryptocurrency Universe Expands Far Beyond Bitcoin

The code base is increasing and improving every day as computer science graduates from top schools jump on board. By Aaron Brown A sort of “cryptobrawl” broke out last month at the Milken Institute Global Conference between economist Nouriel Roubini and panel participants more optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency technologies. I had the opportunity to participate in a partial rematch at Battle of the Quants, where Roubini was just as negative and DMS Governance's John D’Agostino presented a moderate defense. All of the heat concerns the border of crypto and traditional finance, but much of the important stuff is happening far from the border. For example, one of Roubini's claims is that advances in financial technology by existing financial institutions and startups are delivering on many of the promises of crypto-enthusiasts, and these will continue to transform financial markets. That’s true. However, many of those advances were spurred by the threat of ...

The numbers: Small businesses turned more optimistic about sales and profits in the first month of 2020, but they are still struggling to find qualified workers, according to a closely followed survey. The National Federation of Independent Business said its index of small-business optimism rebounded from a small dip in at the end of last year, rising to 104.3 points in January from 102.7 in December. Business owners were more confident that sales would continue to rise and help support higher profits, the NFIB said. What happened: The net percent of owners who expect higher inflation-adjusted sales in the months ahead rose by 7 points to 23%. By and large, business owners were nonplussed by the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. A gauge that measures uncertainty was basically unchanged. The biggest worry of small businesses continues to be a shortage of skilled employees available for hire. A quarter of owners say it’s their No. 1 problem — more than taxes or re...
