What is surprising is that in most cases, these friends and associates have been taking deliberate steps to remain relevant, by retraining and upskilling, by keeping up to date on business trends, or by engaging with new opportunities via meetups and networking events. And of course, redundancy is now something that everyone in the workforce must expect to face at least 3-4 times in their career. Nothing surprising in that, you might say – it’s a common fate of many middle and senior managers to be “delayered” by their organisations. In recent months, a number of my friends and former colleagues in their 40s and 50s have found themselves being retrenched.

Next week: Token Investment Summit, Vienna Interspersed throughout the two days were panel discussions and presentations on scaling, infrastructure, decentralized exchanges, stable coins and the future of ICOs.Īlthough this was only their second event of this kind, the Beyond Blocks team have quickly established themselves on the conference circuit. There was much debate about regulatory developments across Asia, made all the more interesting by the announcement that Monex is acquiring Coincheck, despite (or because of?) the recent hack on NEM tokens held on the local exchange.Īmong international key speakers were Patrick Byrne from Overstock and tZERO, John Burbank of Passport Capital, and Techemy’s own Fran Strajnar – all looking to the future of this new asset class, especially so-called security tokens. Given the significant developments in Japan’s regulatory framework for crypto-currency trading, there was a lot of interest in the presentations by bitFlyer, Quoine and Smart Contract Inc.Īs with the recent APAC Blockchain Conference in Melbourne, there was a strong representation from China’s growing base of Blockchain projects (but not ICOs, of course), keen to demonstrate their infrastructure projects. In Tokyo, the Beyond Blocks Summit was a stellar affair, with marquee blockchain projects and major investors presenting on stage, alongside cosplay characters, light shows, upbeat music and a crowd of crypto fanatics. Techemy CEO, Fran Strajnar presents on the new asset class of digital value Posted in #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, Blockchain, Crypto-currency, Digital Assets, Financial Services, FinTech, Token Issuance | Tagged #Bitcoin, #Content in Context, #cryptocurrencies, #Cryptographic Assets, #Digital Assets, #Ethereum, #fintech, Blockchain | Leave a reply Beyond Blocks, Tokyo Next week: CoinAlts Fund Symposium, New York There was also a local case study on the Optioment scam, and the potential criminal and civil breaches.įinally, a panel of VCs provided their perspective how to navigate this asset class, as the industry weighs up the recent wave of more speculative tokens, and moves to more structured capital gains, especially from so-called security tokens. Much of the day was given over to discussing compliance, taxation, accounting, token economics and investment research (such as token valuation models, correlation analysis and crypto returns). There was an overview of ICO regulation, comparing some of the developments in Germany (Bundes Block’s Token Regulation Paper), Austria (University of Graz’s KryptoStaat project), Switzerland (FINMA paper on ICOs) and Gibraltar (GBX token listing using a risk-based model). Next, Rafael Delfin from Brave New Coin presented the General Taxonomy for Cryptographic Assets (covered here before), followed by pitches on behalf of Rigoblock (decentralized fund infrastructure), HydroMiner (green mining), Conda (equity tokens via a crowdfunding platform), Artis (time-based value or asset transfer on chain), Streem (“start & end” events only) and Ocean Protocol (the data exchange network from BigChainDB). Projects need to address their “Token-Market Fit” chains need to think about their scaling and interoperability and tokens need to deal with decentralized exchanges, post trade clearing, and asset classification. In particular, some of the token jargon needs to be better explained (air dropping, locking, burning), and some industry practices (token definition, protocol design, staking, and on-chain governance) require more formal and consistent standards. William Mougayer kicked the day off, discussing the need to define “Blockchain fundamentals”. Brave New Coin Head of Research, Rafael Delfin introduces the General Taxonomy for Cryptographic Assets
