The demonstration was a first for the employees of the Delft Blockchain Lab. According to leader Dr Johan Pouwelse TU Delft is the first to launch an experiment with a digital euro that is linked to the IBAN financial system and is completely open source, non-profit and transparent.

The Tribler lab at the Delft University of Technology has released a new Android app showcasing how the music industry can be revolutionized. With BitTorrent, a blockchain, and cryptocurrency, music streaming no longer needs any middlemen. We fixed the predatory intermediary problem by showing that music industry overhead can be 0%, project leader Johan Pouwelse says.
There is no denying that file-sharing has in large part helped reshape the music industry into what it is today.
The iTunes music store was embraced by the music industry as a weapon in the war against piracy, and the same is true for the streaming services that surfaced later on.
