A very warm welcome to the October 2018 Blockchain Innovation publication. This extended edition includes a number of compelling interviews from some of the leading lights in the blockchain world. I was fortunate to attend MoneyConf in Dublin earlier this year and enjoyed meeting many people there

One person I interviewed at MoneyConf was singer, songwriter, record producer and audio engineer, Imogen Heap who spoke about the potential blockchain has to support musicians in their work and the wider industry. Another highlight from the event was speaking with Philip Young, Director of Marketing and Business Development at Gibraltar Stock Exchange Group who explained his thoughts on the development of blockchain in Gibraltar.

Olga Feldmeier, CEO of Smart Valor and described as the ‘Bitcoin Queen of Crypto Valley’ engaged with me about the role of blockchain in the world of investments. I certainly found her insights to be both fascinating and helpful and I hope you enjoy reading them too.

I believe it is always very helpful to get different perspectives on topics such as blockchain, and as such, one of these comes from Brazil in the form of Director of Investor Relations at Atlas Quantum, Bruno Peroni who shares his expert views on building wealth through cryptocurrencies.

On this note of optimism, I hope that you find this supplement insightful. Do feel free to get in touch with me if you would like to contribute an opinion piece in the future.
