I pointed out the problems with blockchain and cryptocurrencies that use blockchain, and introduced solutions. Current blockchain and cryptocurrency systems are vulnerable to seven types of attacks. I also talked about business strategies for popularizing cryptocurrencies. I was scheduled to give the keynote speech in a short-sleeved polo shirt, but since a king or prince was attending, I had someone buy me a long-sleeved shirt late the night before.
