Welcome to my first post at steemit, I just wanted to introduce myself I am crypticj. Little about myself I worked in the world of banking for one of the largest banks in United states for five years I left the corporate world to do a startup back in 2015. My Area of expertise is any guess? I will give you a hint...
If you said Fintech/Hedge Fund/Quantitative Fund you are absolutely correct. I run a small Quantitative fund (for those of you not from the world of finance) wiki defines is as "A quantitative fund is an investment fund in which investment decisions are determined by numerical methods rather than by human judgment." I build and run computer models/algorithm to figure out an edge where it can allocate money.
I have been part of cryptocurrency since 2011,as my passion for numbers/cryptography just seems to lead me in the world of cryptocurrency. I am happy to be part of steemIt community. Currently I am working on a Fintech/Blockchain solution for Hedge Fund industry, hopefully an ICO (not sure if that is the route I will go) I will share additional details of the road map as the project progresses.
I have one simple question, if you have to create a solutions for Finance/blockchain sort of “FinChain” (just invented a new term) what would you create? 
Thank you for your Input in comments looking forward to hearing some really out there Ideas, who knows maybe my startup can incorporate some of the solutions we can come up with collaboratively.

Welcome @crypticj. interesting life story still goes on. followed you. enjoy wide steemit world :)
Thank you valueup for me its the journey that matters and not the destination.
Welcome @crypticj I think that these cryptocurrencies are a great subject for a quantitative fund. If you have a model which can interpret the mood of the investors quickly you could make a lot of money. Something that I've really been missing is a crypto with a low correlation to BTC. You could make a synthetic inverted one tough.
finally some one with some great idea... @patcher the solutions would have to be an elegant one. I actually worked on a Investor Sentiment based model but it was not the best solution as it had to be very very subjective and we got stuck with language and context, which was a big challenge for small shop like myself.
haha, i feel like it's hard to really get some engagement at this point in time on Steemit. I think it's because the sudden spike that a lot of content creators have flocked to Steemit. This along with that the pay-out for authors is higher than for curators creates a strange current environment of over-creation. People upvote,resteem and follow but do they also read? Couldn't you make a model that could make a model that would fit your requirements? Also, what does it take to be a Quant fund operator?
Patcher you are absolutely correct people are interested more in upvotes and re-steeeming than actually engaging in a concrete conversation. To answer your earlier question yes I can make a Model to fit my requirements however my expertise is statistical arbitration so majority of models are designed for that purpose. When it comes to sentiment indicator I truly have no idea where to begin, we did take a brief look into it however it seemed beyond over scope so we moved onto our core expertise.
Additionally to be a Quant fund operator it all depends you have regulatory requirements if you are planning on raising outside capital, besides that the only other requirement is ability to design/create quantitative models and using those to allocate capital.
Thank you for explaining it @crypticj, I'm pursuing a finance master next year at my university so that's why I'm so interested. Great to have you on board!
Awesome that you are pursuing finance in master Good luck and thank you for the warm welcome.

Welcome on board :) I would never have been able to guess but fintech is kind of the polar opposite of stuff I have any knowledge about XD There's a lot of people that do that kind of stuff or are interested in that kind of stuff kicking around here though so I'm sure you'll do well and find people with similar interests in exactly no time :)
Thank you Ryivhnn i hope so I can find like minded people and some great ideas to be able to engage the community.
Welcome to Steem @crypticj I have sent you a tip
I appreciate it, I would also appreciate if you throw out a craziest idea of finance/blockchain solution
Welcome to steemit, happy to have you here
I am @alienposts , my real name is achraf :)
Checkout my page, Enjoy your time here and let's get this party started :)
Thanks man I appreciate the welcome. Can you throw out 1 idea for Blockchain/fintech solutions? will def check out your page.
i'm a hardware/electronics engineer so I would say a new generation of hardware wallets, more secure which you can't really use without physical verification : eye scan for example, you can think about tons of ways to come up with more secure wallets that do not exist on the market now !!
I absolutely agree that Bioscan wallets can be a great idea but it is a redundant system imo you already have smart phones with finger scanner/retinal locks and you can even have secure apps on them sort of like Blackboxes. Love the idea about secure wallets lets face it we can all use more security in our life.
smartphones are not a good option, why would the creators of the wallets who are not dominating the market creat those products ? Instead they could just develop an app like jaxx and running it on smartphones !!
A hardware wallet is now the most secure option, but can be more secure with embedded Bioscan technologies !!
I think people will buy them like crazy especially after the mass crypto adoption!!
Absolutely agree but at what cost? you can add fingerprint scanners and keep it cheaper... but retinal scan requires a completely different set of hardware.
Agree, maybe people will be ready to pay any cost to secure their bitcoin when 1 BTC = 100K !! :)
that would be a great story to tell to my grand-children
