Speakers expressed opinions about blockchain from their perspectives. Chu Shuai anticipated that, after 2 or 3 years, killer apps would arise from gaming, content creation and ID verification industries. Meanwhile, Yirong Xu suggested blockchain entrepreneurs focus on blockchain; IP and branding; mini-programs these three areas. Ivan Jiang made a keynote speech named as “Launch A New Era of the Internet.” Ivan held the opinion that blockchain could solve trust issues, utility tokens could resolve user identity and value circulation issues, and thus enable enterprises to create unlimited vertical segments for user experiences. By doing so, creating a mutually beneficial ecosystem for users and enterprises that is powered by token would be feasible. Ivan believed that this could potentially change the current situation that tycoons dominate the Internet, traffic is centralized and the environment for entrepreneurs is becoming worse and worse. In the future, we are very likely to launch a new era of the Internet while the civilization of commercial world will be distributed with more dynamic growth.
