Blockchain in the Legal News

Looks like there’s a legal-themed blockchain based company in the news.  Meet Stampery.

They are presenting at Tech Crunch’s Disrupt.  The great quote?

When I asked Stampery’s legal value, Levi’s answer was straightforward. “It’s so new that for now nobody uses the blockchain in court. As soon as they use it, the judge will have to accept it. It’s not an opinion, it’s mathematic.”

HAHAHAHAHA.   Aw.  Bless his heart.

I still think blockchain is the future, or could be the future, if one could get the legal world on board.   I may jump ahead and start doing a little blockchain research and crank out a explainer blog post on this.  Blockchain is a hot topic among my Berkman colleagues, so I will also hopefully learn a lot in our working group on it.

Oh, btw, other companies doing legal-ish block chain:

Eris Industries

Smart Contract

Ethereum
