Concluding Thoughts
This is the first cryptofinance event of many to come. The atmosphere was electric and blockchain technology clearly won the day. Everyone seems to agree that the regulations are moving too slow to catch up to the innovation in this industry.
We hope that by building a broad front of supporters in all sectors we can help push this technology forward to unleash the potential it has to transform the world for the better, through lower barrier of entry for the third world, transparency, open development, lowered friction and unlimited potential as an information-technology on the exponential curve.
