Klimenko and key government officials to headline at World Blockchain Summit in Moscow

This further strengthens Russia’s resolve to completely regulate cryptocurrencies in the country, and push for a decentralized legislature.

As the journey to the World Blockchain Summit begins to gain momentum, another crucial government representative joins the panel to display Russia’s resolve to implement blockchain across key industry sectors. German Klimenko, Director of the Institute for the Development of the Internet and official advisor to Vladimir Putin, is the latest key representative from the Kremlin to join the panel of thought leaders and government officials at the summit. The summit is taking place on the 26 – 27 of April 2018 in the nation’s capital of Moscow, and is being organised by Trescon, a global business events and consulting firm.

German Klimenko is one the closest aides to President Vladimir Putin, and an outspoken leader in the Kremlin, who hasn’t shied away from voicing his opinions loudly and clearly whenever he has had the opportunity. He has repeatedly voiced his displeasure on unregulated cryptocurrencies and why different types of digital currency need to be regulated by the centre to ensure maximum transparency.

“Cryptocurrency is just anonymous wallets. There is WebMoney, which for me, is not much different from Bitcoin in terms of the user. WebMoney implements the same encryption, the same principle of secrecy, except that they have a client – a server solution, and in the case of blockchain, this solution is distributed”, as told by Klimenko in an interview with media personnel.

This comes in the wake of the centre’s decision to regulate all cryptocurrencies as well as launch a centralized cryptocurrency called the ‘CryptoRuble’ by mid-2019.

Apart from digital wallets and eCurrencies, the country is also pushing for legislative laws to implement blockchain technology across key sectors and industries such as cyber security and land registry.

The Kremlin also announced the first ‘Central Blockchain Project’ that will convert all the property deeds in Russia into a verified decentralized ledger. Furthermore, the Russian Quantum Centre is also developing Quantum Blockchain System that will protect systems from external ‘Brute Force’ attacks.

Mohammed Saleem, Chief Executive Officer of Trescon, said that “Every country in the world is displaying an enthusiasm for implementing blockchain technology, but no country has made tangible strides like the Russian Government. The creation of government bodies like the IDACB and RACIB, whose sole intention is to strategically regulate blockchain technology in the country, shows us that all roads will eventually lead to Moscow”.

Other key representatives who will speak at the summit include Artem Koltsov, Head of Digital Economics and Blockchain Technologies Expert Group for the State Duma; Pripachkin Yuri Igorevich, President of the Russian Association for Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain (RACIB); Maxim Chereshnev, International Secretary for the International Decentralized Association for Cryptocurrency and Blockchain (IDACB) as well as other prominent industry personnel and thought leaders.

The summit will feature exciting and thought-provoking panel discussions, technical presentations as well as the coveted ICO Grand Slam where ICO startups will pitch before a panel of investors and stand a chance to raise up to US$ 2 million.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
