https://asia.money2020.com/session/new-payments-system-digital-age Asking some experienced members if there has been any new announcements made during money 20/20 in the past. There is going to be big players on the podium including aliexpress, mastercard, google and the list goes on. Is it possible for example google to come out and say will be using ripple ect or is it usually just a recap of what is already happening.

Browsing through the agenda of the comming days, all big payment players seem to be there (Apple, Alipay, Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, etc.) as also several supportive partners that passed on this forum before. I saw an interpretation on twitter connecting Stellar to Paypal because of this agenda, but that seems a too easy / pump conclusion as they are (actualy 2x) indeed together in a timeslot, but together with other participants in a paneldiscussion and presentation queue. But still, I can imagine that statements might influence the markets. Any thoughts? I don't see Rippe there.. but as too much expectations did not work out the last time, maybe this time the exact opposite ?? https://files.money2020.com/public/jAVEIl5/xOZcTGNvex.pdf?_ga=2.13394359.1460367270.1508609453-904291530.1498331769

We have been accumulating $XRP positions lately, and now awaiting the breakout by the 26th, courtesy of potential announcements that will take place during the European Money 20-20 conference, and/or the interledger meetup in Geneva on the same day.

http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-ideologies-clash-money2020-spotlights-capital-markets/ For example, while Goettsch argued that the market today is already "very liquid" and "very resilient", while Judd Bagley, head of Overstock subsidiary tØ, put forth a starkly different categorization. Goettsch told the audience: "If you have to pre-verify that assets and cash exist, that changes everything. That's just not how the markets operate right now. We use that time to confirm that the regulatory processes are met, there are a lot of players in the system like market makers, high-frequency trading firms that don't operate [that way]." The comment also provided an example of the role R3 has played in increasing understanding of the technology. For instance, Faber cited how R3 has provided a sandbox for the testing of technologies including ethereum and Ripple by major banks. "There's this tough problem of what can and should the technology replace. Figuring out what the right answer, to tear it down, if you're one of the financial exchanges, you think that's a terrible idea. The industry is trying to find a way to make sense [of this]," he said. Elsewhere, there was broad agreement that there are inefficiencies in the current financial markets, as well as an increasing interest in blockchain applications and the role they could play in finding solutions to these types of issues. Scott Robinson, FinTech director at Plug and Play, for example, related an anecdote about how the blockchain message is resonating. "Three years ago, I remember talking to some executives at Exxon Mobil. A year ago they said they're looking at blockchain," he said.Aidoo summed up this transition further, laying out his vision for the industry in 2016 and beyond. He added: "2015 was the year of hype, 2016 was the year of the POC and 2017 will be year of delivery."

The European Parliament sponsors something called "No Cash Day" and there's going to be an ePayment Manifesto presented at Money2020 Europe. I asked if I'll be able to pay for things with Bitcoin during the conference and so far all I hear is crickets. Can you imagine how absurd it would be to declare a day "no cash day" ("to reflect on the issue of financial inclusion and cultural change offered by digital money as an opportunity to overcome the boundaries between people, countries and languages"), have an ePayment Manifesto presented, and then not actually let people pay using digital currency on No Cash Day? I really hope that's not the case... https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/63250/the-european-parliament-sponsors-the-sixth-no-cash-day

Is anyone here going to be at Money20/20 Europe? It's in Copenhagen. I think I'm going.
