doesn't this worry anyone? ... I'm reminded of the early days when modem banks was the rage. MaBell ignored the dialup scene (run by ex-CompSci wanting their USEnet feeds) except how to make money and AOL nearly ate their lunch (AT&T wised up). Disruptions typically come from outside an industry to blindside a cozy oliopoly and having so many "bankers', I fear prevalent logic will prevail (cf Xerox v Japanese photocopiers as example) and what you'd end up with is tweaking the edges, perhaps a bit more convenience but still the same security flaws. Can make money but not the same as hunting for the mythical unicorn. > don't have enough of is tech entrepreneurs again I can relate that hardcore technologists don't' do stuff for the money (though it is nice) but for the coolness (or geek factor). Hearsay is that the original email protocol (killer app for Blackberry over Newton) was evolved due to desire of a young engineer to communicate with girlfriend in another building. So whilst you can get cheaper (maybe ... banks are in it for the green stuff afterall), better (can't get worse with the 4 bank pillar policy holding back innovation) and faster (at cost of security) will there be any really ground-shattering ideas? (smart contracts, p2p credit rating, folding sidechains) Wish you all the best but after looking at SG's fintech startups all I can see is more of the same (but perhaps Aussies are more creative).
