article title: " Expert Insights on the Asian Crypto Market amidst pandemic "
but from what I read in the article they concentrates more to the blockchain than to talk about the cryptocurrency market, maybe this is because many governments like and approve blockchain and also because if they concentrates to talk about the cryptocurrency market they would be forced to talk about quality, scam cases, cases of lies that many altcoin creators have done, the bad services that many exchanges have... these are the subjects that they should discuss a lot and sincerely
A better title would have been "Businessmen trying to sell their own products amidst pandemic".
For a large part of the world, the worse is gone and with all the hype surrounding the blockchain and cryptos, in general, there hasn't been a single case when the new technology helped where the old failed, one case in which the proclaimed savior of the old managed to do something nothing else could.
From the first paragraph this whole so-called "conference" starts as a farce:
“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.”
Lack of data on what? Lack on data on the virus? How is the blockchain going to change this, is CZ going to open a binance.virus and all the viruses are going to come and fulfill KYC with their genome? Or, and this is far worse, data on the patients and the suspects? Interesting, are we going to use the blockchain as a surveillance tool? Wow...
“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.”
In the end, it's all about money, right?
Probably the best title would have been, "Hyenas having a conference"!
