So the battles broke out at the next #SPIEF in 2017, behind them were dozens of contracts, panel sections, hundreds of hours of video recording and, of course, certain conclusions were drawn. Conclusions everyone does for himself, proceeding from the field of interests. My attention (and some of my colleagues) was riveted to the panel section "Blockchain - the birth of a new economy", and to discussions around.Probably one of the most anticipated guests, according to media reports, was #VitalikButerin, a 23-year-old #Russian native living in #Canada, according to some sources, since recently the dollar #billionaire, the co-founder of the #Ethereum project (Eterium, capitalization of more than 24 billion dollars #USA) - a blockbuster platform of a new generation with which the rapid growth in the popularity of crypto-currency has recently been associated. It is with the advent of #Etherium that the widespread knowledge of smart contracts is connected, this technology has stirred up the minds of millions of people and promises to stand at the roots of the new digital revolution.
At the SPIEF in 2017, Vitalik Buterin held a meeting with Vladimir Putin, during which they discussed the possibilities of the detachment. #DmitryPeskov, spokesman for the #Russian leader, commented on the results of the dialogue. "Buterin spoke about the possibility of using technologies in the #RussianFederation, the president supported the idea of establishing business contacts with possible #Russian partners." That in translation means that Buterin settled in #Skolkovo and, apparently, will work on joint projects with our residents.
Later, during the panel session, Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov commented on the general mood of the president, "I can tell you that our president, a small group of members of the government and administration staff, only at the beginning of the second morning released: we discussed exclusively new technologies and the digital economy, the President became completely ill this, realizing that a significant growth rate is based on the digital economy and technological leadership. " Not without reason, some experts predict the beginning of the development of the all-Russian system, a possible analogue of the Etherium platform, at the state level.
Against the backdrop of all this, the leading banks of the Russian Federation are creating units for research and implementation of technology detachments, the Central Bank and a number of ministries are preparing bills to regulate crypto-currency and block technology. By the way, private cash financing companies are already operating in Russia, based on the Etherium platform with capitalizations up to $ 19 million.
