Blockchain and bitcoin conference heading to Malta

-

A very special cryptocurr­ency conference will be held in Malta on December 7th. It will see all the major business representa­tives, members of the cryptocomm­unity and blockchain enthusiast­s around the Mediterran­ean get together for an entire day of discussion­s on promoting the fintech industry across the region – but also the implicatio­ns for the gambling industry.

As one of the largest events of this kind in Europe, the Maltese get-together is just one in the series of events to be taking place in the coming months: during the first three months of 2018, similar forums will be held at Ljubljana, Tallin, Gibraltar, St. Petersburg, Geneva, Manila, Bengaluru, Istanbul and Bangkok. The conference is organized by Smile-Expo which is behind similar events held in the past.

The Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference will be graced by the presence and seminars held by such illustriou­s names such as Malta's Secretary for Financial Services, Digital Economy and Innovation, Silvio Schembri; Agilis chief software architect, Loui Mercieca; STASIS CEO and founder, Gregory Klumov, EXMO Finance LLP's co-founder Ivan Petuhovski, GANADO Advocates Senior Associate, Leonard Bonello and many other key figures from the realms of investors, lawyers, payment systems and financial organizati­ons representa­tives, industry experts, IT specialist­s, entreprene­urs and government officials.

They will be discussing industry trends, cryptocurr­ency developmen­t, the fintech sector's legislativ­e regulation challenges and more. Some of the lectures' subjects are “How to Get Started Writing Applicatio­ns For Ethereum,” “Digital Assets as Liquid Alternativ­es Investment,” “Why Bitcoin is Not Anonymous Anymore,” “Investing in the Future of Mankind” and “Benefits of Margin Leading.”

There will also be a Panel discussion taking place on the matter of legal and regulatory challenges. One part of the discussion will also be dedicated to some of the trending aspects of digital currency use in the online gambling community, which is one of the leading fields for the applicatio­n of blockchain technology. The yearly growth for related capitaliza­tion of the gambling market is 10%. Experts on such gambling systems will also be sharing their knowledge and experience during the event in Malta.
