Does This Mean the End of the Dreaded Faded Receipt? Interview with Chris from Totem

Continuing our blockchain and crypto month. This week we are focusing on one application of blockchain technology you may have not thought of Accounting.

Our guest Chris D'Costa is a part of a team that is developing Totem. Which is blockchain-backed accounting software that can transpire borders and boundaries.

More about our guest:

Chris D’Costa is the founder of Totem Accounting, creator and driving force behind the implementation of the peer-to-peer Live Accounting Protocol. Chris spent over 20 years designing and building enterprise accounting, business intelligence and ERP systems. In 2013, Chris and a few Bitcoin early adopters started the Belgian Bitcoin Association as an educational and policy advisory body around legal status and other issues concerning blockchain and cryptocurrencies to governmental organisations, private individuals and corporations. In 2014, Chris combined his enterprise architect background and technical blockchain expertise to research the concept of global corporate currencies with his clients which disclosed a universal disconnect in the exchange of accounting information. The result of the research is the Live Accounting Protocol used in Totem’s blockchain application, Totem Live. The Totem Live Accounting Network - a decentralized real-time peer-to-peer accounting network - is still in alpha development but has been live since April 2019. The team is anticipating a full product public mainnet launch in late 2021.
