HEALTHgeld

…enabling Contemporary Health Tourism Stakeholders to transfer value to one another

To illustrate this article, I used the front cover of the book titled “The Book of Crypto: The Complete Guide to Understanding Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets”, by Henri Arslanian, which can be bought for $44.85 through Amazon (? https://www.amazon.com/Book-Crypto-Complete-Understanding-Cryptocurrencies/dp/3030979504? ).

To obtain maximum benefit, it is recommended that this articlebe read in conjunction with the following LinkedIn articles:

• introduction of Blockchain Technology to the Health Tourism Sector - to benefit the Industry and the Market - through Kwe Strategy ( https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/introduction-blockchain-technology-health-tourism-constantine/? )
• Health Tourism embraces Web3 - with the associated concepts & practices and technologies ( https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/health-tourism-embraces-web3-constantine-constantinides-m-d-ph-d-/? )

a Sector-Specific Blockchain-based Currency

…enabling the transfer of value

HEALTHgeld is a peer-to-peer currency being developed (at the time of writing) that will enable Contemporary Health Tourism Stakeholders (supply side, demand side and investment side) to transfer value to one another without having to go through a bank.

Due to HEALTHgeld’s use of cryptographic hashing and consensus mechanisms, users will be able to verify transactions without needing a central authority controlling a single ledger.

BTW, HEALTHgeld is “part-and-parcel” of the Contemporary Health Tourism “Big3” - the:

• Integrated Economic Ecosystem (in the form of a blockchain-based DAO) - “a carnival of markets” which operate as a single organism -? https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/carnival-markets-constantine-constantinides-m-d-ph-d--1c/?
• Transaction System - the Contemporary Health Tourism Economic Transaction System - for Buying, Selling and Investment -? https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/contemporary-health-tourism-economic-transaction-constantine/?
• Metamarket - the Contemporary Health Tourism Economic Ecosystem "metamarket" - the bringing together of the supply side and the buy side - in 8 segments? -? https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/bringing-together-supply-side-buy-constantinides-m-d-ph-d-/?

Although the need for - and desirability of – a sector-specific currency became obvious early on (during the process of transformation and repurposing), several technical aspects of the undertaking were by no means obvious and clear.

This was partly due to the fact that a number ofstill, aspects of the “technology” were still in a state of flux – with no clear indication of which of the competing “versions” (each with a differing set of features) would prove to be the “gold standard”.

Consequently, considerable time and effort has gone into – and continues to go into - monitoring and studying developments – and evaluating “claims”.

Also, there was a need to determine which would be the most suitable (best fit) for the intended purpose.

At the time of writing, some of the issues had still, not been fully resolved.

Part of the agenda and strategy for achieving the objective, involves connecting with hands-on practitioners of blockchain and coin development technologies.

This will be greatly helped by tapping into and bringing on board carefully selected contributors to the Global Blockchain Congress (? https://www.gbc-uae.com/? ) staged by Hadi Malaeb (head of Dubai-based Agora Group) – someone I have known and kept contact with since 2006.

As a start, I will be reaching out to - and connecting with - these practitioners on LinkedIn.

This, of course does not preclude others being identified and engaged – along the way - and as time goes by.
