Berlin Blockchain Day Panel

On a cold Friday December night, with a Christmas market buzzing outside, a small group of Blockchain enthusiasts gathered for a ‘day’ (actually an afternoon) of discussions with luminaries from the community organized by Binary District{.markup—anchor .markup—p-anchor data-href=“https://binarydistrict.com/about/” rel=“noopener” target=“_blank”}, a new global education center. As is traditional for events in Berlin, the time of year had thrown well-made plans into disruption, and the organizers have asked me to host a panel between all the speakers.

On the panel are Alexander Ivanov{.markup—anchor .markup—p-anchor data-href=“https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Alexander_Ivanov” rel=“noopener” target=“_blank”} (Blockchain entrepreneur), Dmitry Meshkov{.markup—anchor .markup—p-anchor data-href=“https://twitter.com/dmitrymeshkov?lang=en” rel=“noopener” target=“_blank”} (Researcher and entrepreneur), Alexander Chepurnoy{.markup—anchor .markup—p-anchor data-href=“http://chepurnoy.org/” rel=“noopener” target=“_blank”} (Developer), and Vlad Zamfir{.markup—anchor .markup—p-anchor data-href=“https://twitter.com/VladZamfir” rel=“noopener” target=“_blank”} (Ethereum team). I was interested in digging into how enthusiastic developers take their ideas into reality with smart contracts and ‘traditional’ programming languages and infrastructure.

I wouldn’t say all my questions were exactly answered, but it was an interesting panel nonetheless. Enjoy!
