What is Cryptocurrency?

By Megan Herr & Thomas Dyer

Innovators have a tendency of identifying problems and subsequently creating a solution instead of the inverse. Great ideas do not make historic innovations; creative solutions to problems do. Cryptocurrency arose out of the identified problems contained in “traditional” fiat currencies. Transactions involving fiat currencies are often traceable by parties who should not otherwise have access to that information. Cryptocurrencies effectively address both of these problems, along with a handful of others through innovations including blind algorithms and the related blockchain technology.

Kokocinski v. Collins: Application of the Business Judgment Rule

In Kokocinski v. Collins, 850 F.3d 354 (8th Cir. 2017), the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of Charlotte Kokocinski’s (“Plaintiff”) shareholder derivative action against Medtronic’s directors and officers (“Defendants”) and the Special Litigation Committee formed by Medtronic (“SLC”). The court held that the District Court did not abuse its discretion because Defendants properly formed the SLC, the SLC was entitled to discretion under the Business Judgment Rule (“BJR”), and the District Court exercised sound discretion in concluding discovery was not necessary.
