Nick Ayton or the upsurge of a technology leader… An all around the world well respected technology business leader, Nick works with CEOs to help them overcome the pervasive nature of new technologies that include Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, QuantumAI, Nano Materials, VR and Blockchain, as opportunities and threats for business operating model improvement, customers and the top line growth.
Nick Ayton about the crypto generation: As a sixties child, I was aware of this loud revolution, the music, the fashion and the different way of thinking, and yes, I hated the Beatles’ and Elvis’ music and still do. But they played their part. It was The Time in the 20th Century to be alive, to be involved, to make your mark as the London scene demonstrated. Even the FBI and MI5 perceived this as an infection as something they had to deal with. A new liberalism, a new permissiveness was sweeping the western world as society broke with post-war years and the young started to shape the world we have today.

In Blockchain nobody knows how long you have, 12, 24, or 36 months…as things are already moving very fast… I speak to management all the time and I don’t know where they get their information. They seem to have a crystal ball and be very well informed, and yes many have heard of Blockchain, but their conclusion there is nothing to worry about, apparently they have 5 to 10 years – Pulitzer Prize winner, Thomas Friedman’s phrase ‘I’ll be gone, You’ll be gone’ sums it up nicely. In other words, when the &*%$ hits the fan, I will be retired. But as regulation changes, directors will be held accountable and bonuses will be paid back from your retirement home wherever you may settle. Find even more details at Nick Ayton.

NickAyton on crypto app tokes : We have certainly come a long way since the infamous Bitcoin pizza incident, where Laszlo Hanyecz ordered two pizzas from Papa John’s for 10,000 BTC back in 2010. It goes to show how much progress has been made in eight years — especially when you take a look at how much you’d pay for those same two pizzas with Bitcoin today. Given the gradual rise in value of Bitcoin over the years, early adopters who got their hands on substantial sums of the cryptocurrency found themselves with an incredible amount of wealth in the last two years.
