Blockchain, blockchain, blockchain! It’s not the bitcoin anymore, right? Right (probably.) Join me at Disrupt London where I’ll be talking to Steve Waterhouse of Pantera Capital, Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum, and Austin Hill of BlockSteam. If anyone can make sense of the blockchain vs. bitcoin argument, it’s these guys.
Waterhouse is an entrepreneur who is now partner at Panter Capital where he focuses on bitcoin investment. Hill is “Chief Instigator” at Blockstream, a company that works to improve the bitcoin ecosystem through side chains. Finally we have Ethereum, a Valley darling that “is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.”
We’ll be talking about their projects as well as the way forward for bitcoin and blockchain and why the banking industry had better be ready for some big changes.
Other speakers include BlaBlaCar’s Nicolas Brusson, Eileen Burbidge, Thierry Henry, AOL’s Tim Armstrong, Klaus Hommels, Postmates’ Bastian Lehmann and more. Find out more in the agenda.
