EVENT PARTNER:
Hell Ya!
Bitshares is coming out of its closet!
And finally taking off!
Although bitshares had a small presence at last year's Decentralized,
we had only a small team there representing us
so it was easy to overlook the world's oldest and best DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
amidst all the distractions LoL
So this year we're kinda taking over the joint :-)
Almost the whole core Dev Team will be there
And three keynote speakers:
Ryan R. Fox is the Coordinator for the BitShares Core Development Team. Based in Boston, he leads the globally distributed team developing the protocol, consensus contracts, APIs and command line wallet that represent the foundation for the BitShares platform. A Professional Scrum Master by training, Ryan previously lead technical teams within global financial services firms including the mortgage banking, custodial remittances and hedge fund sectors.

The company has since evolved its offering which now includes a mobile app, decentralised exchange, a network of cash points and an increasing range of local currency stablecoins.

Often a speaker and educator on blockchain technology internationally, George has been part of many events revolving around education in the areas of payments, cryptocurrencies, remittances, bitcoin and blockchain.
As an entrepreneur, George is focused on bringing financial services and opportunities to the world’s unbanked populations in the developing markets and providing new economic opportunities to people around the world.
