On episode 57, I talk with Chris Aguas of CoreChain Technologies. CoreChain is the only network built for scale and security on enterprise blockchain to streamline the exchange of B2B payments transaction data and funds.
The B2B payments space still uses paper checks; 60 percent of B2B payments are done via paper checks.
Chris and I discuss the issues behind B2B payments and why moving to a blockchain-based system would unlock more value for companies and B2B payments networks.
We also discuss current market conditions in crypto, fears that companies have when moving to a blockchain-based payments network, misconceptions around blockchain technology, raising capital, and much more.
