didn't Nasdaq just say they planned to potentially use the blockchain technology -- not the bitcoin blockchain itself? correct me if i'm wrong. but that was my understanding.
Your wrong... They are using open assets which uses bitcoin.
I always get a kick out of the use of the blockchain technology without it having anything to do with bitcoin itself routine. Ya can't have one without the other.
You can, it might not be a good idea, but it can be done!
Look at the all crappy Alts, they have blockchains, they can make fast online transactions that can be tracked, just like bitcoin.
They aren't secure and are often run by people you wouldn't want in charge of your money, that's the problem imo.
