Session: Technology and Humanity in Times of War
Hegel believed, “The essence of human civilization is that people are the ultimate goal…All our science and technology, ideology and culture, public services, and all modern civilizations are to serve people and make people live better.”
This is where Blockchain serves the people.
In times of crisis when all other assets can be taken, destroyed, frozen, blockchain remains an open-source, decentralized solution that grants people financial access and assets that irrefutably belong to the owner, regardless of their nationality, geographical location, or social-economic status.
This discussions looks at the role of cryptocurrency and blockchain in times of adversity and how we can better use it to serve humanity.
