What are the things that most excite you about blockchain and crypto? Why?

● Blockchain is an incredible tool for giving safe and unrestricted access to formal financial systems to people who otherwise would not be able to access the financial system.

● Because of the decentralized structure of blockchain, the risk of data being compromised is dramatically reduced to near zero. This is especially important in the world of credit and finance, where numerous pieces of personal information are required to get an accurate picture of their financial position.

● Blockchain-based applications and cryptocurrency are easily accessible to people who may not have access to physical banks

What are the things worry you about blockchain and crypto? Why?

● Government regulation has the potential to impact innovation in the sector. What’s critical is that leaders in the industry work with those lawmakers to ensure they have solid understanding of the benefits blockchain can offer.

● As the blockchain ecosystem evolves and different use cases emerge, organisations across industry sectors face a complex and controversial array of issues including individual or project scammers that are popping up to take advantage of the hype. This is unfortunately hurting the blockchain ecosystem and the overall impression people have.

● Blockchain will definitely cause some jobs to become obsolete, but the technology will also help to create many new jobs that we cannot even picture now. To align job seekers with the new jobs that will be created, the education system will need to evolve, to provide practical training for youth so they will be ready for this change.

● Like any new technology, there’s a learning curve for consumers at any level. We recognize this need and look to be a leading voice in educating businesses and consumers alike on the value we can deliver.

● Because the early movers in the sector have been primarily focused on currency, many don’t recognize that’s just a small part of the benefits that blockchain can deliver. In reality, this is actually more of an opportunity than anything else.
