Everex had the distinct privilege to speak to an enthusiastic crowd in San Francisco over the weekend about the potential for blockchain technology, and how Everex will propel the world to “Exchange Better”. Below is Our CEO and Founder Alexi Lane’s summary of the event.

What a few weeks it has been for the entire Everex team. Our week in China was quickly followed up by a busy few days in the Silicon Valley for d10e, an Everex-sponsored blockchain-focused conference, where I presented our capital transfer and microlending system with some of the west coast’s most influential blockchain investors, traders, professionals and enthusiasts in attendance. It was an honor.

But first, kicking off the conference, a private dinner was held at the lovely italian food restaurant Il Fornaio, where I spoke alongside blockchain projects Agrello, Propy and Science Blockchain about the Everex solution and, particularly, how we can bring microlending and payment services to a new level by serving various communities from cryptocurrency enthusiasts to the underbanked.

The dinner went extremely well. You could feel the breeze rolling in off the bay. Individuals from some of the most influential blockchain organizations on the west coast were there at the private dinner, with investors and entrepreneurs coming from all the major cities of the west coast, and well beyond, to discuss blockchain technology.

While the private dinner was focused on blockchain technology, the following day brought a shift of focus from blockchain towards Startup Societies, which are essentially organizations seeking to begin their own societies without seeking permission from existing nation-states. I spent Day 1 of the conference discussing with many entrepreneurs potential for partnerships between large companies in the Startup Society space and blockchain space.

On Saturday night, I was lucky enough to participate in a VIP dinner, which was a great opportunity to connect with some of blockchain’s best, including EOS co-founder Brock Pierce, Augur founder Jeremy Gardner and even storied technology executive Richard Titus, as well as other local venture capitalists and executives.

Day 2 featured more blockchain than the previous day, and also my speech, in which I was able to really focus on the technology and USP behind Everex. We found a great deal of interest in our system’s microlending capabilities, and primarily our native digital token, EVX.

Throughout the day, we spoke with people from influential organizations including Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Blockchain Capital and more. Tokens in general were a consistent theme of the conference throughout the conference.

Over the course of the two days, we held very important discussions with representatives of very large blockchain-focused venture capital firms. Its discussions like these that are propelling the world to exchange better with Everex. One such can be seen on Facebook. I spoke with Blockchain Investor:

Once again, d10e has outdone itself. This conference consistently becomes more and more interesting, with movers and shakers in the blockchain space coming together with increasingly clear visions of decentralization in the world. We are glad Everex feels so at home among such talented visionaries.

The San Francisco-held Startup Societies Conferenced, curated by d10e, provided a great networking experience at the cutting edge of blockchain, fintech and distributed finance. We look forward to many more!
