Silicon Valley Insider Host and special guest Leo Kahn of Propy discuss how Propy became the first online company to enable real estate transactions through cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.  The first international transaction, recently closed in Ukraine, was conducted by Michael Arrington founder of TechCrunch.  The first domestic transaction recently closed (Feb 2018) in Vermont.

 

Leo and Keith discuss the real estate transaction market as a perfect use-case of smart-contract / blockchain technology.  What used to take weeks or months (title registration) now takes hours with Propy.com. Keith reported on an exclusive blockchain forum he attended that featured Natalia Karayaneva , CEO of Propy.com. Keith and Leo discussed her key points blockchain startups need to be successful business ideas.

 

 Keith introduces the concept of Crypto Economics / Tokenomics as a necessary component to the utility of a successful blockchain program and how to get help with your project.

 

As part of SVIN's weekly show Keith discusses latest tech news.  Although the news featured stories of theft in Iceland and an SEC widespread investigation of ICO's, the theft of Steve Wozniak's Bitcoin  lead to personal stories and laughter from Leo and Keith about having met the legendary innovator in the past.
