ANX CTO: Bitcoin's Scalability Issue is a 'Red Herring'
During a talk at Finnovasia 2015 in Hong Kong this week, ANX CTO Hugh Madden told an audience of gathered FinTech professionals that he believes concerns about the bitcoin blockchain's ability to scale are a "red herring". The comments notably follow the two-day Scaling Bitcoin conference at which the open, public blockchain's global development community came together to propose technical issues related to the bitcoin protocol. Madden, who later appeared on a panel conversation centered on the technology's growth in Asia, made the case at the event that despite the level of press time....

Scalability is an issue that keeps plaguing the world of computer science and electronic engineering. Even though computer chips are becoming smaller and smaller over time, there is only so much space that can be filled with all of these electronic components. Addressing the scalability issue is just a matter of decentralizing the computing processes, according to various industry experts. But IBM is not so convinced, as they are experimenting with 5D blood to solve this problem. Introducing any form of liquid to computer parts sounds like a dangerous task, but in most cases, it is....
