Gm gm frens. 2023 was a crazy year on the road…I keynoted or MC’d around 80 conferences and I am glad to be taking some self-care time in the sun.
But, it is also time to be preparing for 2024 and I am excited to share that Paris Blockchain Week has asked me to be one of their ambassadors for the next edition.
Tuesday, September 7th, in London, I’ll be speaking on how Creator Coins and the larger social token movement can help creators with monetization, community engagement, and protect against de-platforming/censorship. The Blockchain Expo is one of my favorite conferences to speak at, as it combines parallel tracks around Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, IoT, and Cloud Computing, with Blockchain and CryptoAssets topics. Always exciting to speak outside of the crypto-bubble of dedicated conferences and take the good news of cryptoassets to the masses.
It’s time for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland under the theme of Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World. The program is organized under the following seven topics: – How to Save the Planet – Society & Future of Work – Tech for Good – Fairer Economies – Better Business – Healthy Futures – Beyond Geopolitics
While the descriptions of individual panels do not necessarily highlight Blockchain Economy or CryptoAssets topics, it’s clear that they will contribute to many of the individual themes: 1. Trust and Transparency (Global Value Chains, Supply Chains, Deepfakes, Cybersecurity…) 2. The Digital Economy (Token Economy, CBDC, Stablecoins, Financial Markets, Central Banks, Digital Economy Taxation) 3. Sustainability and Climate Change (not specifically super blockchain-y in the descriptions, but I would expect that trust and transparency related to sustainability would link back to blockchain solutions)
Upcoming changes in the enforcement of the FTC’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, better known as COPPA, will have a significant impact for content creators on platforms like YouTube and Instagram but also for compliance for international companies/platforms/startups with an American audience.
In the December 11th, 2019 episode of CryptoGlobe, we discuss:
