We traveled to 13 countries and regions to interview some of the biggest names in the field: venture capitalist Tim Draper, Ethereum co-founders Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, best-selling business authors Don & Alex Tapscott, former BitInstant CEO Charlie Shrem, among a list of over fifty influential figures. The 8-episode series will also take a look into prominent corporate players such as Microsoft Azure, R3, Tezos, Z Cash, Digital Asset, and Blockstream.
Bianca Chen, Founder and CEO of OX3 TV Production and Producer of the series said, “With Next: Blockchain, we hope to show people blockchain’s world-changing potential by following stories of the greatest pioneers of blockchain. It has never been done before on such a scale, and we believe it’s more than worth the effort.” During an exclusive interview for the documentary, Don Tapscott commented that blockchain represented “the beginning of something that's very very profound and it will change every institution. It will change the operations of every government, of every country, and of every economy.” Eric Gu, CEO of China’s leading public blockchain project Metaverse, believed the docuseries to be “timely and significant for the general audience.”
