The Knight of Ahhrrgg Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Hi there, It seems some "Blockchain Innovation Conference" took place in The Netherlands on June 22nd. The pro: it is spoken in English for us to understand ;-) The con (or second pro if you wish) : you get a full recorded coverage of the entire day's event. So take out some popcorn and sit down for a 10 hour recording! https://blockchaininnovationconference.com/ Click "Full Conference" for the live recording. There is enough to be heard, also the critical minds like David Birch. Some banks were there too: Chairman of Rabobank at 2h:46 , ("I visited Ripple personally in 2014, didn't get it but we tested it, it worked in the test, but we moved on") and ING at 9h:04 ("growing pains inside banks" in relation to blockchain). You may find both the banking guys to be a tad underinformed on the solutions Ripple Inc. is nowadays offering with ILP . And don't forget Chris Skinner at the end. (And NO, I did not see all of this recording!) Here's a quick copy of the day's agenda (can be found on the website too): Session 1: Opening Conference Speakers - Vincent Everts (Conference Director)- Dennis de Vries (Lead Digital Ledger Services Netherlands, KPMG - Trust in the 21st century)- Bart Mellink (Gartner - The Gartner position on blockchain adoption)- David Birch (Director of Innovation, Consult Hyperion - 'Blockchain is not a technology, it's a religion')- Wiebe Draijer (Chairman of the Executive Board Rabobank)- Cora van Nieuwenhuizen (Member European Parliament - FinTech Reporter)- Egbert-Jan Sol (TNO, Radboud University - National Blockchain Alliance)- Surprise act Session 2: Keynote presentations and debate Speakers - Vincent Everts (Conference Director) - Marc van der Chijs (Founder/CEO Global Data Chain, Managing Partner CrossPacific Capital - Fireside chat on venture capital Blockchain investment trends in Asia and beyond)- Richard Kastelein (Publisher and founder http://www.the-blockchain.com/ - The emergence of Token Sale or Initial Coin Offering)- Rene Kerkmeester (Digital Transformation Lead - TenneT)- Leo Dijkstra (Industry Lead Utilities Benelux - IBM GBS)- Joris Geertman (Director Portfolio & Innovation - KPN)- Rutger van Zuidam (Owner of DutchChain.com, Organizer Dutch Blockchain Hackathon)- Raphael Davison (Worldwide Director for Blockchgin, HPE - The blockchain revolution, ultimate industry disruptor) - Jan-Peter Doomernik (Enexis) - Alex Bausch (co-chairman BECON.global - blockchain ecosystem network)- Marloes Pomp (Curator Public track) - Conny Dorrestijn (Curator Business track) - Paul Bessems (Curator Technology track) Final session: Closing talk Speakers - Vincent Everts (Conference Director)- Ling Kong (CTO Dianrong - Blockchain application in supply chain)- Ivar Wiersma (Head of Innovation - ING - Growing pains of blockchain) - Jan-Peter Doomernik (Enexis - (How) can energy be free? Co creating a future of blockchain, ai and autonomous assets)- Chris Skinner (CEO The Finanser - if you liked it then you should have put a chain on it: how blockchain has reached the bottom of the trough of disillusionment and what's next)- Closing act.

I didn't watch all of this, but I caught a 2 hour cut of it last week on YouTube. Couple take-aways that stood out to me. The KPN telecom gent, Joris Geertman, was talking about internet of things & said they've been able to increase milk production in cattle by 60%. Sensors are optimizing feeding cycles. He also said he sold some of his BTC for IOTA, which encouraged to bet on that tech. His talk was good. At 4:34. Just following Joris was the worldwide director of HPE. He was well spoken, but sounded like he'd never heard of Ripple before. He was referencing transaction times & technology evolution that sounded outdated to me. I just assume they have a conflict of interest. He's talking about there is not technology to scale financial transactions & that's HPE's specialty. I call BS.

Wow, that was an interesting one that I had not yet noticed : the KPN guy going into IOTA , suggesting selling all of his BTC for IOTA ? It remains a bet indeed , at least for the coming years, but I got myself some IOTA too shortly after the ICO (no, not at the top, but on the first run-down ;-) Edited July 4, 2017 by The Knight of Ahhrrgg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asked by the moderator if he owned BTC & ETH. He said yes & then said 'I changed my Bitcoin for IOTA'. I cannot imagine that he'd dump all his BTC. That would be silly. He's also speaking in his second language - altough the Dutch speak english nearly perfectly. But I was encouraged by his talk & overall sentiment. This guy has a ton of experience & knows much more than I. I, too, nibbled on the first run-down starting in the mid-50's. I loaded up sub 40 cents & flipped 20% at 45 cents. I've been able to get my average down below 39 cents. Hopefully I don't wake up to it being halved. I really need to figure out if/when there's an expiring lock-up...

Simply the fact that such a guy is putting his money where his mouth is - that is encouraging indeed for such a newcomer as IOTA is. Let''s see where this thing brings us in 5 - 10 years from now ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
