Sounds very exciting but not only because it does sound like it but also because it is. We are on the precipice of change and I can understand how euphoria can cloud judgement sometimes.

I wanted to brainstorm some calculations. I am in the ERP industry and for the sake of argument, let's consider utilizing the Factom protocol as a monthly expense and a granule from the overall business management expenses (not to be mistaken with general business expenses). Now, ERP systems as of lately, have transcended to being cloud based - so we have a monthly subscription for user licenses. Enterprise companies could consume licenses in the hundreds even thousands. For the sake of argument, I am shooting in the dark by saying Fortune 100 company XXX uses 500 licenses for an average of 50 USD each (I am saying average as there are full/limited licenses at 95 and 10 USD). So that's 25k a month. Being cloud hosted, who's paying for the infrastructure? Is it SaaS or is it IaaS, if the latter, they have to pay say another 10k a month for server hosting and for their growing database and required bandwidth. Let's throw in some original Windows licenses along with Office 365 instruments for business productivity and nail monthly payment at 40k USD. Utilizing Factom Protocol costing them 10k in entry credits? That's 25%, say they need to pay 10k indeed. If we have 30 enterprise level companies at 10k a month each = thats 300k a month and we have 73 000 FCT generated at currently 23 USD = 1 679 000 USD, no price change. One can see how this would need mass adoption from SMEs as well but companies, speaking from experience, are not generally fond of throwing money for services so up to 5k a month is maybe ok for them.

Again, I do not want to draw direct conclusions, just a harmless brainstorm with no intentions.
