Unlocking the Value of Real-Time Data

Before he became the CEO of blockchain startup Streamr, Henri Pihkala was an algorithmic trader who designed high-frequency algorithmic trading platforms. In this illuminating 20-minute interview he now explains his vision for decentralized real-time data streams monetized by the new cryptocurrency called DATAcoin. He is joined here by Frans Kempen, head of IBM’s Blockchain Practice for Banking and Insurance in The Netherlands and Belgium.

Henri gave a demo of Streamr at Bitcoin Wednesday on 5 July, 2017 and will appear again with his colleague, COO Risto Karjalainen at Bitcoin Wednesday on 6 September, 2017.
