Bitcoin could end up being the MySpace of cryptocurrency, but the underlying technology powering new payment methods is here to stay. That's according to Brock Pierce, a tech entrepreneur with his eyes firmly fixed on cryptocurrencies.
"By having a baseline protocol that allows you to innovate around finance, a lot of interesting things can happen," he says. The protocol Pierce is talking about is the blockchain -- a public, transparent ledger that gives a chain of transactions that is secure and reliable.
"This protocol is going to democratise the global financial system," Pierce explains to the audience at WIRED Retail. In South America and Africa the blockchain, be it through Bitcoinor another cryptocurrency, has huge transformative potential.
Pierce also believes that the technology could have an impact on other processes. Voting systems that used the blockchain could ensure that elections were free of corruption and easier to run.
He compares the use of Bitcoin in the developing world to Africa's "jump" to mobile communications. With little in the way of fixed line networks many countries went straight to mobile phones -- similar things could happen with Bitcoin. Pierce ought to know, he's the cofounder of Crypto Currency Partners (CCP) which has invested in 25 crypto projects so far this year.
One market already using the blockchain to bypass traditional banks is international money transfer. People who move abroad to find work and want to send money home are hampered by expensive international transfer speeds, but cryptocurrency removes this barrier.
"This innovation is more substantial than the internet. The blockchain is going to have an even larger impact. As to what currency does it -- that's difficult to say."
"I think that people are starting to recognise the value of the blockchain, whether that be large banks becoming incredibly friendly to the blockchain and the innovation it represents. The opportunities it creates are substantial enough that I don't see this trend coming to an end."

Ecuador ratified Friday its diplomatic asylum status for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been living in the countrys London embassy since June 2012 to avoid being extradited to Sweden, where he faces sexual assault charges. The move makes official Assanges protected status and means he can remain under the countrys protection indefinitely.
"In keeping with its long tradition of human rights, particularly those of the victims of political persecution, Ecuador reaffirms its commitment to protect the life and liberty of the citizen Julian Assange, said a statement from Ecuadors Foreign Ministry posted by Nuestra Tele Noticias.
The announcement comes a day after a Swedish court upheld an order to detain Assange, 43, over sexual assault allegations. Assanges lawyers requested to have the order withdrawn because it cannot be enforced while Assange remains under Ecuadors protection against winding up in U.S. custody.
Ecuador has been shielding Assange from extradition out of concern Sweden will pass him to U.S. officials, who view the Australian publisher and journalist as a fugitive from justice. Assange is wanted for his role in obtaining and leaking hundreds and thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables and Army reports from Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is serving 35 years for obtaining and giving the documents to WikiLeaks.
Ecuadors human rights law doesnt permit extradition of people to countries where they could face the death penalty. The U.S. Espionage Act of 1917 could allow federal prosecutors to pursue capital punishment if Assange is found to have aided the countrys enemies by leaking the documents.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority has pursued Assange since 2010 to further a preliminary investigation into rape and molestation allegations involving two women. But because Sweden has an extradition treaty with the United States, the country could pass Assange to U.S. authorities.
On Friday Ecuador said it was confident it could reopen promptly channels for political dialogue at the highest level with the government of Sweden, and offered to allow Swedish authorities to take statements from Assange either by visiting the Ecuadorean embassy in London or by electronic means.
