Mastercard takes on counterfeiters with blockchain tech

THere is so little detail her to be able to understand what is going to happen, how this will protect the provenance, how checks will actually be made, how the policing with work and how/when the fashion items will be subsequently checks (or why).

One would imagine, that one should by the items from a legitimate store: and know that the provenance is good. Then this is the end of the story. 

When one buys the goods in a market / side of the street, one knows that the provenance will NOT be good, and equally, the purchaser then has no way of checking the provenance. 

Accordingly, everyone knows what they have. 

If goods get seized in transit, the authorities doing the seizing will not have the knowledge or tools to validate the goods provenance there and then, and probably will no more care that there is a'blockchain' ledger: as they will simply do as they always have done. 

The main questions here must be:

- Why is this being done apart from the publicity

- Why is Mastercard involved.

There simply is no detail here and nothing particularly informative or interesting with the absence of any detail.
