Blockchain Beyond Borders | Episode 1 | Let’s Talk All ‘Bout Crypto | ABC Conclave

The world of blockchain technology is rapidly expanding, promising revolutionary changes across borders and industries. In a recent talk show episode titled “Blockchain Beyond Borders: Building Global Bridges for Innovation and Adoption,” industry experts gathered at the ABC Conclave in Dubai to discuss the transformative potential of blockchain technology. Panelists included Anndy Lian, an Intergovernmental Blockchain Expert from Singapore; Kris Bennett, Co-Founder and Chief Learning Officer of the Blockchain Training Alliance in the USA; Raj Kapoor, Founder & CEO of the India Blockchain Alliance; and Shailesh Kunnath, Co-Founder of Masary Capital in the UAE. Moderated by Jenny Zheng; Co-founder, Blockcast.cc.

Identifying Real Solutions Amidst the Fluff
The panelists engaged in a dynamic conversation, sharing their perspectives on the blockchain landscape’s key considerations for success. Raj Kapoor kicked off the discussion by emphasizing the importance of addressing real-world problems through blockchain solutions. He highlighted that the market often gets flooded with proposals that lack substance, urging entrepreneurs to go beyond the hype. Kapoor stressed that genuine innovation must tackle real challenges or enhance existing solutions to be impactful.

Critical Criteria for Sustainable Blockchain Projects
Jenny Zheng then outlined several critical criteria he uses to evaluate blockchain projects. First and foremost, she emphasized the significance of solving real-world problems. She stated that projects should demonstrate how they enhance existing solutions or address pressing issues. Jenny also scrutinizes the longevity of project promoters, looking beyond financial factors to their determination and commitment. She noted the value of having validation, even in the form of a small customer base or a proof of concept. Additionally, she assessed the hunger and dedication of project promoters, along with family and friends’ initial support, as indicators of credibility. Jenny’s insights highlighted the multifaceted nature of project evaluation.

Perspectives on Blockchain Adoption
Kris Bennett chimed in, offering his perspective on blockchain adoption. He highlighted the common tendency to prioritize technology in emerging industries, cautioning against neglecting practicality and value delivery. Bennett stressed that being the first to market doesn’t guarantee success. Drawing a historical parallel to Amazon’s rise in the e-commerce sector, he noted that timing and impact matter more than being the earliest player. Bennett also emphasized the importance of conveying value without relying solely on technology jargon, urging entrepreneurs to articulate the benefits of their solutions independently of blockchain or crypto references. Lastly, he underscored the significance of building a strong, well-rounded team with diverse expertise to drive success.

Community, Education, and Future Growth
Anndy Lian added his insights, focusing on the role of education and community in blockchain growth. Lian highlighted the necessity of educating not only individuals but also entire ecosystems, including venture capitalists and regulators. He commended Dubai’s proactive approach to fostering blockchain education and innovation. Lian also discussed the importance of community engagement, explaining that a vibrant and supportive community is crucial for sustained blockchain adoption. He encouraged a collaborative approach where different stakeholders contribute to the technology’s advancement.

Regulatory Strategies for Blockchain Innovation
Transitioning to regulatory concerns, Lian, drawing from his experience with governments and regulatory bodies, emphasized the evolving nature of blockchain regulation. He acknowledged that many countries are grappling with regulatory frameworks for this emerging technology. Lian stressed the importance of cross-border transactions and the need for cooperation to ensure stability in the financial sector. He highlighted the significance of developing clear regulatory guidelines to support the growth of blockchain while safeguarding financial systems.

In Conclusion
In the era of blockchain, collaboration, education, and a problem-solving mindset stand as critical pillars for success. The panelists’ insights underscored the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the blockchain landscape, revealing the need for innovative solutions, well-structured teams, community engagement, and regulatory clarity to drive the technology’s transformative potential globally. As the world continues to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by blockchain, one thing remains clear: the path to success is paved with innovation and collaboration.

ABC 6: Anndy Lian Suggested A Global Think Tank for Blockchain Thought Leadership

ABC 6: Anndy Lian Suggested A Global Think Tank for Blockchain Thought Leadership

Anndy Lian, an Inter-Governmental Blockchain Advisor suggested that a global blockchain think tank should be established and will help the industry to table collective views moving forward. He was interviewed by HashNet & Blockcast.cc at World Blockchain Summit Seoul on 20th September 2019.

Anndy has walked a long journey in the blockchain industry. He has been a frequent face in the South Korea technology and business scene for more than a decade. He even wrote a book titled “Blockchain Revolution 2030” in Korean published by Kyobo Books with Professor Youngsook Park from Yonsei University.

“I am being asked quite a few questions during this interview. I would like to highlight a couple of things. Blockchain will only get good outcomes if we all work together. At this current moment, everyone is trying to do what they deem is good for the industry. It is time for an alliance to be formed. In my opinion, a global think tank of blockchain thought leaders can set the standards and pace for the industry. Having one collective voice will help to set unified regulations and directions, thus driving the adoption of this technology faster. I will find like minded people and set this up if opportunity arises. We need to converge to grow bigger and stronger!” Anndy explained to the reporter.

When asked what is blockchain like in the near future, Anndy responded: “I would say that it is very optimistic. The immediate short term trend you will see is that accredited investors will come into the market and take part in regulated security token trading or STO. In the longer run, there might be a possibility to see a totally decentralized economy running parallel with the traditional market.”

He currently plays a pivotal role as the Blockchain Advisor for Asian Productivity Organisation (APO), an intergovernmental organisation committed to improving productivity in the Asia-Pacific region. He advises the Secretariat on the latest concepts and applications of blockchain technologies in cybersecurity and IoT network data integrity across smart factories and upskill the Secretariat staff in blockchain technologies as applicable to productivity. Being active in Korea, the governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do also made him part of the Blockchain Special Committee, together with industry experts such as Brock Pierce (Chairman, Bitcoin Foundation) and Alexis Sirkia (Founder of Yellow.com) helping the province to grow using blockchain technologies.

Park Bong-kyu, CEO of World CEO Summit MARVELS also voiced out that leaders must unite. “I am thinking like Anndy too. My event is one of the few blockchain events that unite leaders from all over the world. We get domestic support from government and leading brands. We also get support from comrades from all over the world. World CEO Summit 2020 will start at Busan next year. I hope to get more support from more leaders! The blockchain industry will only grow bigger and stronger when we unite.”

Chang Nyoung Suh, CEO of HashNet and Jenny Zheng, Cofounder of Blockcast.cc were present during this interview. Video snippets will be uploaded to YouTube by HashNet video team. While selected portions of the interview are captured in text by Blockcast.cc reporter on site.
