Last week I went to the London Blockchain Conference 2023 and was brilliant ! It provided a wealth of information, discussions, and real-world examples of how blockchain technology can drive innovation, improve trust (Specially with AI coming – Infocalypse), and transform various industries.
Some of the highlights over its three days were:
Day 1:
- The conference opened with nChain Group CEO Christen Ager-Hanssen posing a question about the purpose of blockchain, eliciting answers ranging from profit to education and business.
- Discussions focused on showcasing the potential of scalable and lawful blockchain technology to generate revenue.
Day 2:
- The concept of improving trust with blockchain technology was the central theme of the day.
- Keynote speaker Peter Schiff talked about how “digital gold” could replace fiat currencies like the dollar, emphasizing the role of blockchain in enabling this transition.
- Presentations from the Philippines highlighted the country’s digital transformation efforts, including partnerships between government agencies and private companies like nChain.
Day 3:
- The focus was on driving innovation with blockchain technology and looking towards the future.
- Projects demonstrating real-world use cases for blockchain were showcased, such as the United Nations World Food Program’s “Building Blocks” project and Gate2Chain’s Trace application for supply chain traceability.
- Code-along sessions provided practical insights on building blockchain-powered applications, and there was a keynote presentation by nChain Chief Scientist Dr. Craig Wright on leveraging blockchain for business efficiency and cost reduction.
