Bitcoin is a great concept but, with no central authority issuing the currency, it is not an effective replacement for cash. Tibado, a new global digital cash company, offers the ability to exchange currencies globally as though they were cash, as it offers a technology that any central bank or issuer can use. Will this be the new form of digital currency for tomorrow? Tim Jones, the founder of Tibado and an experienced CEO and thinker around all things to do with digital currencies, will explain the opportunity Tibado addresses and why it will win.
