Asia Blockchain Summit 2020 (ABS2020) kicked off on Wednesday, July 15th, virtually, with a keynote from Crypto.com founder and CEO Kris Marszalek titled Driving Growth with Ecosystem Strategy.
Kris joins over 200 speakers, including SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Co-Chair of the European Commission FinTech Task Force P?teris Zilgalvis, Microsoft principal researcher Glen Weyl, and many more, with panels and workshops on topics including decentralized finance (DeFi), cloud storage, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), Ethereum 2.0, digital asset regulation and decentralized future.
The former commander of the International Space Station Chris Hadfield, known as the most famous astronaut since Neil Armstrong, is also a highly anticipated keynote speaker of the event. Chris will not only offer attendees valuable insights into leadership from his experience but also talk about how he views the space industry as the next frontier for blockchain.
Chris believes that with the infrastructure to mine resources from the Moon, comes the potential for trillions in riches — and that blockchain could be a key part of the mining infrastructure, as revealed in an official pre-event interview. In his live keynote session scheduled for 9:30 AM GMT+8 July 17th (9:30 PM EDT July 16th), Chris will also be receiving his first Bitcoin from Blockstream CSO Samson Mow, who commented saying,
“It’s great to be able to send Chris his first bit of BTC and start him down the rabbit hole.”
