- W2555184443 abstract "In a world of laissez Faire capitalism and migration at unprecedented levels, it has become a birthright to have access to a system that enables the common man to store and transfer money with ease. Over 4 billion people, living in the bottom of the pyramid, with daily wages as low as1.56 $ and a combined purchasing power of over 5 trillion dollars are ignored by financial organizations that cater largely to urban customers with higher income. If we combine the core benefits of bankingsaving, credit, loans and money transfers with what the internet has to offer today, we will be able to find scalable, cheap solutions that can penetrate low income societies with great levels of efficiency. Over the past 5 years, the financial world has seen a phenomenon called cryptocurrencies. They remain largely unregulated, are used by (almost) anonymous entities and have facilitated cross border transactions like never before. Unlike banks, they do not require physical facilitators or offices. Transactions made via such cryptocurrencies are often stored on a public ledger, referred to as a block chain and can be easily verified by anyone at will. This stands to be drastically different from existing banking systems where ledgers are often maintained in a highly secretive fashion and transparency is kept to a bare minimum. The fact that just about anyone with a computer and an internet connection can set up his or her own (unlimited) account(s) in less than 10 minutes and use the same as a medium of storage and transfer of value makes cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, appear to be a highly appealing solution for banking for those at the bottom of the pyramid. This paper aims to compare existing financial organizations, their services and their competency against cryptocurrencies like Bitcoins in providing services for those at the bottom of the pyramid. The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into how technology can be better leveraged to enhance the lives of the poor around the globe and thereby accelerate the establishment of a better planet" @default.
