Hey, did any of you catch Erik Voorhees speak at Denver Startup Week on Sept 24?
He had a lot of great insights to share, he spoke with a woman from the Denver Business Council who is working hard to get blockhain technology supported by Denver legislators.
Key insights:
- This "project" is so much bigger than cryptocurrency or blockchain - "Crypto" may be the best way to describe the industry because blockchain is a constellation of technologies
- He has a complete disdain for corporations calling it "distributed ledger technology"
- To the question "why should I care", he responded: because of indivual liberty, as a principle! Most Americans used to know what that was
- To the question "if Satoshi reappeared, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?" he said: Of course it would be bad. I hope Satoshi never reappears, but if he dows I'll give him a big hug and say "thank you!"
Denver Startup Week hosted a blockchain hub that held many thought leading discussions about blockchain development, business models, and other topics. If any of you were there...let's talk!
