Pablo Soria de Lachica Analyzes the Potential Impact of Ethereum on Financial Sector

Soria de Lachica is not alone in his enthusiasm and positive outlook for this technology, as NASA have recently announced their investment in ETH research with an aim to adapting smart contracts to the programming of space craft, primarily due to the perceived stability of Ethereum (its…
