Pyth malfunctioned another time in September, erroneously making it appear that Bitcoin had crashed 90%.

Since then “the group has had a decidedly low profile. It has an active online fundraising page, but its website is offline. A Facebook page is ‘liked’ by only nine people. Its Twitter account has zero followers and only one tweet from April, soliciting input for a survey on veterans’ concerns. A search of media databases shows no instance of the group being mentioned in news stories.”

Blockchain technology can be conceived as a form of next-generation business process optimization software from a business standpoint. Collaborative technology, such as blockchain, promises to improve business procedures between firms, cutting the “cost of trust” dramatically.
