Kodak announces its own cryptocurrency and watches stock price skyrocket

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

There's a developing rundown of organizations that have included dialect about blockchain or digital money into their names and statements of purpose, and it bodes well. Organizations that do as such observe their stocks ascend in esteem a short time later. The most recent organization to bounce on this pattern is, surprisingly, Kodak, which just propelled its own particular KodakCoin, a digital currency for picture takers. When the news was declared, Kodak's stock (KODK) bounced up, and as of this written work, its stock cost is $5.02, a 60 percent pick up.

KodakCoins will act as tokens inside the new blockchain-fueled KodakOne rights administration stage. The stage will as far as anyone knows make an advanced record of rights possession that picture takers can use to enlist and permit new and old work. Both the stage and digital currency should "engage picture takers and offices to take more prominent control in picture rights administration," as indicated by the public statement. The advanced money is intended to make another economy for picture takers to get installment and offer work on a protected stage.

Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke said in a press articulation, "For some in the tech business, 'blockchain' and 'cryptographic money' are hot popular expressions, however for picture takers who've since quite a while ago attempted to state control over their work and how it's utilized, these trendy expressions are the keys to fathoming what felt like an unsolvable issue."

There's additionally a point of reference for offering work of art or outlines through blockchain innovation, as the world saw with the Ethereum-based CryptoKitties. CryptoKitties highlights craftsmanship drawn by Guilherme Twardowski, who drew each and every feline and feline element in the diversion.

In any case, while Kodak's proposed blockchain-controlled stage and virtual coin sound great on paper, it's not clear why the photography organization needs to utilize blockchain to accomplish its objectives, as opposed to simply make another online networking stage. It gives the idea that Kodak, similar to the next tea and vape organizations that got media consideration a month ago to make the unexpected jump to blockchain, could simply be endeavoring to benefit from the present digital currency insanity
