Anndy Lian endorses the book “Leadership in Disruptive Times” (2020)

Thank you once again and having me to endorse the book “Leadership in Disruptive Times” (2020).  The book was successfully launched on 30th July 2020 in New York by the publishers, Business Expert Press, LLP (BEP) New York, NY and is available on Amazon.

“Leadership in Disruptive Times will rock readers with stunning new perspectives. I like the emphasis on the usage of technology such as blockchain and cryptocurrency in the near future to advance in the vision of Industry 4.0. The need to use new technology to create a new value of ‘trust’ will be something we have to look into.

This book will be a good reference for leaders who want a good overview of the post-COVID times. The new world clearly values those that can deliver disruptive innovation.”

About Business Expert Press (BEP)

Business Expert Press was born in 2008 because of one question: “Why do we pay so much for a professional book when we only want a few chapters?” From that question grew our initial priority: concise, precise, professional business information, published in print and eBook formats, written by experts in their fields, and organized into specific content collections so that consumers can immediately find the information they seek on subjects that matter to them.

Over the next few years, it became apparent to us that our primary audience — business students, faculty, and librarians — sought digital content built just for them. In 2010, assisted by the guidance of a panel of librarians, BEP released its first Digital Library. That library consisted of 50 eBooks with the goal of putting students first. It included all the features that we continue to offer today, beginning with No Usage Restrictions (students can print, share, download, and mark up any title in our library). We also offer Perpetual Access; Free MARC Records; and Free Archival Services. Finally, No License Agreement is Required (acknowledged by SERU). Our customers build their own collections. Today, we offer annual digital libraries of 110 eBooks, subscriptions to all 900 eBooks, topical e-collections, and custom bundles.

BEP has grown to be one of the premiere sources of business content for colleges and universities around the world. With its primary staff in the United States, BEP has a global sales and marketing operation, distributing our print and e-content to professionals and academics World-Wide. Our books not only contain ideas and solutions tailored to today’s business environment; they also offer content that anticipates the business environment of tomorrow—content that is both drawn from and relatable to many cultures in many different countries. Our books have won numerous citations and awards. Many of our authors are recognized as premier authorities in their fields. We’re proud to be a part of the business world today and look forward to continuing to serve the business community by offering innovative content in all areas of enterprise.

Knnit Speaks to Anndy Lian, Singapore Blockchain Expert on “The Purpose of 2nd Tier Crypto Exchanges”

Knnit Speaks to Anndy Lian, Singapore Blockchain Expert on “The Purpose of 2nd Tier Crypto Exchanges”

  1. Can you tell us more about yourself?

My name is Anndy Lian. I have been active in the blockchain market since 2017. I had my first bitcoin in early 2010 when they are worth much lesser basically. Right now I spend most of my time advising governments and also acting as the Chairman (Asia) for Decent Foundation based in Switzerland and Chairman (Singapore) for Korean eSports Industry Association. I am also a book author for Blockchain Revolution 2030.

 

  1. In your view, do second-tier crypto-exchanges do enough to differentiate themselves? Do they have unique selling points? What do they offer that bigger exchanges don’t?

Top few exchanges seem to have everything, not much left for the second-tier and small exchanges so they are working/ struggling especially hard, just to survive. The only advantage they have compared to the big brothers is they are too small to be on the radar so they can be more “wild”. You seldom see a coin goes 100X on big exchanges but it’s still happening on second-tier and small exchanges. However small exchanges close down every month so users who like to “gamble” will choose the second-tier exchange over the big ones.

 

  1. What, if anything, can second-tier exchanges do to differentiate themselves? Do you expect such exchanges to succeed in introducing unique features in the future?

Yes, they need to have a new model, their own models, the first in the industry kind of model to succeed. However, new model also means high uncertainty and risk. You do it well you become Bitmex, you do it wrong Fcoin is your example.

 

  1. Does the crypto system really need smaller, second-tier exchanges? What role do they serve, if any?

Yes, smaller, second-tier exchanges are like the catfish in the sardines, more players mean more competition, more competition brings more innovation and better services. Those newcomers they are standing on the shoulders of giants, they can build their exchanges on the most neat and efficient manner, they can try new features more freely, respond and adjust to the market faster.

 

  1. Do you expect to see consolidation in the cryptocurrency exchange sector in the future? How much consolidation?

It’s already happening:

1) Many exchanges are opening their branches abroad, sometimes they do it themselves but more times they collaborate with local exchange partners( eg. OKEx & OKEx Korea).

2) Small/New exchanges are opening/switching their businesses on/to big exchange’s cloud services so they can start easy and cheap, when they grow big they can even get investment from the big exchanges.

3) Big exchanges are also collaborating more and investing in other exchanges eg Binance investing into WazirX India.

 

  1. What other observations do you see in the crypto exchange market?

New crypto exchanges will pop up now and then. Those who inspired to start an exchange will go to companies like ChainUp, HyrdaX, SHIFT etc. Some trends were possibly be revived such as DAPP Gaming Store and Decentralised Exchanges (DEX) in the mid of 2021 too. I am keeping a close lookout on these possibilities. In the nutshell, crypto exchanges are here to stay and here to make more noises for the crypto and blockchain communities.
