RE: Altcoins - the 5 Most Important Cryptocurrencies Explained
NEM's core value-proposition is the interoperability between its public Blockchain "NEM" and private Blockchains "Mijin".
In a private Blockchain the nodes trust each other. Thus the speed is way faster. Furthermore the Blockchain is private, which adopts to the needs of keeping sensitive information secret. Like the intranet in a corporation.
Example: Bank A handles its assets within their own private "Mijin"-Blockchain (Intranet). When it sends the asset to another bank, that means to their private "Mijin"-Blockchain it goes through the public Blockchain "NEM" (Internet), so everybody can see and verify that this asset has been moved. This gives global verification and trust.
I agree with the NEM-Team, that big corporations will not move their business into a public Blockchain. Finance is a very private and sensitive Business. What happens in the private "Mijin"-Blockchain of Bank A is not my business and I don't care.
The public Blockchain "NEM" connects the private "Mijin"-Blockchains for immutability and trust.
Wow, thanks man! You explained it super well, I get it now!
I might revisit this artcile in the future, if I do, I'll mention what you just said, crediting you, of course!
Thanks for the kind words @sirlordboss and a very nice compact article you wrote here.
Thanks for the great explanations. I think the creators of litecoin even referred to it as the silver to bitcoins gold. Really solid coins.
