This session will widen the lense on the world of cryptocurrencies to explain that we're actually witnessing the birth of the next generation of the Internet rather than a bubble in Bitcoin. We’ll go through use cases and implications of blockchain technology, tokenization of assets, what smart contracts are (hint, they’re neither smart or contracts). This talk will be led by Andrew Keys who is a co-founder of ConsenSys Capital, the financial services arm of ConsenSys. ConsenSys is the largest blockchain software engineering company on Earth focusing on Ethereum, the decentralized world-wide-web.
