Wednesday, 31 July 2019 (Singapore): In line with the Singapore Government’s strategy to adopt Blockchain technologies to revolutionize its Public and Private Sector, World Blockchain Summit opened to a packed house at the Marina Bay Sands on Thursday. For the second time in Singapore, World Blockchain Summit was strategically curated by Trescon to stimulate coherent innovation narratives around blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The summit featured keynotes from pioneers such as Tim Draper and Alex Mashinsky.

Singapore’s conducive regulatory environment that is giving impetus to the rise in ICOs has made the small island nation an ideal launch pad for ICO startups. 

“This is the beginning of one of the most amazing sociological changes in the history of the world. We are in for one of the biggest transformation moments and it is happening in the next five to ten years. If you are issuing an ICO, this is your moment, this is the trillion and ten trillion dollar industries that you are going after.” said Tim Draper, in his powerful keynote message to Singapore. 

The 13th global edition of World Blockchain Summit was designed to address specific areas for discussions such as the legal and regulatory landscape in Asia, the outlook on blockchain and cryptocurrencies for 2020, and the role of banks in the new digital ecosystem, to name a few.

One of the most important pioneers and innovators of modern business, Alex Mashinsky or more commonly known as the Godfather of VoIP, said in his keynote, “Cryptocurrencies, blockchain and decentralization is a revolution. It is the fourth system that is here to replace what’s not working for 7 billion people that cannot rise to the middle-class.”
