As part of the World Blockchain Summit conference in Singapore, we had the opportunity to speak with a number of fascinating people that work in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. The blockchain-friendly nation of Singapore was the perfect spot for bringing together over 100 curated investors and over 300 executives from leading projects. In fact, the conference was in line with Singapore's "Smart Nation" initiative, which aims to bring the benefits of digitalization to Singapore's economy, governance and society as a whole.

We're very excited about having the chance to ask a few questions to Kevin Feng, the COO of VeChain. VeChain has secured partnerships with major companies such as DNV GL and PwC. VeChain's blockchain platform is primarily targeted towards enterprise users, and is known for its supply chain tracking capabilities. VeChain has issued a token called VET.

How did you find out about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general?

Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology have been proven to be an unstoppable force to disrupt the current Internet and create innovative business models.

When did you make your first cryptocurrency investment? If you haven’t bought any crypto yet, what’s giving you pause?

In 2016, when I was assigned to drive the blockchain service offering development in PwC. Purchasing and using cryptocurrency by yourself is the best education.

For how long have you been working on your project and what attracted you to it?

I have been working on the VeChain project since 2017, the vision of the founder - enabling business from small to large and using blockchain technology to solve real-world problems and add value to the existing business, attracted me to quit my previous career and dedicate myself to this venture.

Have any previous experiences helped you navigate the challenges in the crypto and blockchain industry?

The crypto and blockchain space is in its early stage, and we need to bring more professionals to this space so that it could reach the next stage. My 13 years of experience in professional services helped me to see through some of the barriers this industry is facing.

What sets your project apart from the competition?

VeChain is one of the few projects in the public blockchain space that are actively working with enterprises and enabling enterprise adoption. VeChain is building an enterprise ecosystem on its robust public blockchain infrastructure.
