Highlights of Martins Liberts‘ speech

When Martins took the stage, he shared the following: “blockchain is still so tiny in the grand scheme of things that the industry should stop dreaming that it can become mainstream without providing great products and services”. Comparing it to Uber, which he argued is successful without the average person knowing how the technology behind it works. The visionary said that “companies need to focus on bringing usability and value to the society”.

He also briefly shared the story behind Debitum Network stressing that it is crucial for small businesses to have control and not be limited to go after their dreams or even be forced to sell themselves due to lack of access to funding.
