The title of the forum was “ABCD That Is Changing The World“. The session started with a brief introduction to our association – Crypto Valley Malaysia.

The discussion was not limited to Blockchain technology but also looking at the IR4.0 generally and overall tech progress – a matter of where we are, and where are we heading.

To create and mobilize new form of capitals.

What we have now is truly borderless, programmable money backed by immutable computer systems based on pure logic and mathematics.

Who gets to own what for how long.

If we cannot break the rotten system outside in, try the inside out way of doing things.

The question is, would you still remember why and how you started once you reap the benefits of having all that power?

Only time will tell.

Thank you Taylor’s University for having us in your Expert Forum session for ICT and business students.

From idea formulation to finalizing the marketing material, it took less than 10 days to come to this stage. One of the most effective administration we ever came across when it comes to academic institution collaboration.

Notes on Blockchain and Us

“For me, part of the fascination is that we don’t yet know exactly what this thing is, and yet there are still lots of people getting around it. I thought of it as it’s like a space rock that crashed on Earth. You have a bunch of people that gather around and all pointing to it, what this thing is? You don’t really know what it is but it is still very interesting.”

Blockchains are military grade cryptography.
