5:20 PM Panel: The Future of Crypto: Use Cases and Mass Adoption
What are the predominant use cases for cryptocurrencies today? What is the data to support any use cases today? Should we stop looking at the past to categorize the use cases of crypto? A tremendous amount of capital is flowing into the building of the of Blockchain infrastructure, why is that not reflected in cryptocurrencies prices? As more blockchain solutions come on line, will that facilitate the use of crypto and therefore the price of the coins? Will the "institutionalization" of the crypto space change it? Will traditional financial services firms look to compete and supplant the existing crypto focused firms? How or will they look to partner with them? Where is Mass Adoption likely to occur? In finance it has been prop shops and hedge funds, which is the next segment? Will Mass Adoption happen as a result of a idea or solution, specific geography? “Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come” Has the time come for Crypto?
