Here is the summary of Day 4 and closing of the BNEW. A great tech event in Barcelona, wich allowed us to learn a lot of things and current trends, but specifically talking about Zcash and blockchain technology and privacy, it made us clear that here companies and citizens in general are virgins in the use and implementation of these technologies.
In 4 days of event if only 2 times the word “Blockchain” was mentioned, and there was never a mention of “cryptocurrencies”, “Bitcoin”, let alone “Zcash”!
I was able to talk to some entrepreneurs and businessmen, and the generalized word around the crypto topic is: FEAR.
And around the topic of privacy is: Why do I need it? How can I make money out of it?
Of course, there is openness for new technologies and education. The challenge here is regulation, because people are very afraid of state regulations, fines and things like that, but there is infrastructure for adoption.
I am trying to connect with other crypto communities, at least one Bitcoin community, so I will be telling you about my progress soon.
Next week we will be in Madrid, in another event of the tour, the Madrid Tech Show. Clearly, another event that is not about Blockchain, but there is always an opportunity to meet new people with whom you can make contact, agreements, alliances, collaborations, etc. Always be on guard!
This weekend we will dedicate it to seek to contact digitally with organizations or communities here that might be interested in learning about Blockchain and Zcash technology. Wish us luck…
Keep in touch.
