Israel Crypto Conference winter edition, ZOA Tel Aviv on December 7th 2022
Winter is here and we are here to talk about it! Is it time to hunker down or is it time to sing in the rain and dig deep into building new technologies?
This is the time to distinguish the difference between the impact of technology and the inevitable hype.
Are we in the crypto winter, so to speak? Markets are down, the currency is low and yet the biggest banks in the world, like Citi, are hiring Defi risk managers.
Alphabet is investing a billion and a half dollars in crypto projects. Real projects are running and building the next technologies that will be better equipped to deal with fraud threats and will be more adaptable to the technology.
On December 7th we will have a physical content day at ZOA Tel Aviv Daniel Frish 1, with paid parking nearby.
On December 8th we will have networking events - more info to be announced.
