PayPal’s announcement to allow Bitcoin payments in the future shows: Blockchain technology has now become part of everyday life in the financial industry. But what about private investment opportunities based on the blockchain beyond cryptocurrencies? How far has blockchain technology actually penetrated the day-to-day business of the capital markets? To answer this question, Consileon dared to conduct a self-experiment.

You can find out what this self-experiment looked like and what findings we came to in our German article Private Geldanlage per Blockchain – Ein teurer Selbstversuch (engl. Private money investment via blockchain – An expensive self-experiment) for the magazine “die Bank”.
