The Final Word by Jim Thompson


Of course, it is obvious who will jump into the bitcoin world in the pulp and paper industry (as I mentioned in my opening column).  It will be a big player with a risk taking attitude.  My bet is it will be APP, APRIL or possibly Fibria.  A big Scandinavian player, such as UPM Kymmene may try as well.  In the US, one would think IP or GP might have a go at it, but with the current negative public relations and regulatory environment here, I doubt the risk takers exist to pull it off.
