Key takeaways from World Blockchain Summit
Don Tapscott, co-founder and Executive Chairman of the Blockchain Research Institute and one of the world's leading authorities on the impact of technology on business and society, opened the conference on Thursday morning. Don's opening address centred on blockchain and the transformation of public health, in which he outlined the profound changes that Covid-19 pandemic will cause to the economy, social behaviour, and society. "The pandemic will reveal deep problems in our systems for innovation, commerce, data and technology infrastructure. So, this conference happened at a very appropriate time. The spread of the virus and our ineptitude to deal with the consequences had a lot to do with the lack of data."
The Blockchain Research Institute is the largest think-tank in the world that is leading in research about blockchain opportunities, strategies and issues for different industries. While talking about blockchain for public health, he added, "We need to reinvent public health. At The Blockchain Research Institute, we are trying to bridge the gap between the enormous potential of blockchain technology and the actual deployment. Imagine if each had our own self-sovereign health record. In a crisis like this, the state can mandate availability of anonymised data about critical health information. You can have the real-time health data of an entire population. This is possible now because of blockchain."
David Chaum,Founder of xx network who is widely recognized as the inventor of digital cash and other fundamental innovations in cryptography and privacy-preserving technologies delivered a keynote on the role of true digital cash and privacy-protecting platform in supporting decentralized and democratic life, along with CMO and CFO of xx network Jim Dolbear. On voting for complex issues and for scale-like blockchain, David quoted, "In a decentralized life, you need metadata shredding of communication, digital cash that can't be taken down so it can also be a secured store of value and a kind of governance that scales with the complexity and size of the electorate and issue space." He also added "We have built the real blockchain technology. We've been parsimonious and careful and built some very well constructed software that we are rolling out soon! I am excited to offer this to the world!"

The conference also featured a comprehensive interview between Changpeng Zhao (CZ), CEO of Binance, Singapore and Joon Ian Wong, Managing Director for Content Products at CoinDesk, U.K. When asked about global hotspots for crypto trading, CZ commented, "India is a very interesting market. We're seeing a very large uptake in terms of user adoption. The number of users is growing quickly. Indonesia is also an interesting market with a large population. We recently partnered with Tokocrypto to launch the stablecoin."
In a tech talk on the policy environment for blockchain innovation and adoption, Peteris Zilgalvis, Head of Unit for Digital Innovation and Blockchain at the European Commission, Belgium said, "There is a great interest for international collaboration, mainly for Asia. The governmental advisory board of the International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications(INATBA) is bringing together blockchain stakeholders, companies and users and encouraging Asian companies to join the association."
