About the Blockchain & Bitcoin conference in Helsinki

The conference, which this year covered many countries, is aimed at a wide audience and aims to increase participants' awareness of blockchain and decentralized technologies and build a strong blockchain community. Similar events, in addition to today's event in Helsinki, will also take place in Sydney, London, Tbilisi, Paris, Stockholm, Kyiv, Astana, Geneva and Malta.

According to the organizers, the Smile-Expo event company, the topic of the event has long gone beyond IT. Now this is a whole ideology that represents gigantic opportunities for developments in business and in socially significant areas of life. 

Over the past four years, the crypto industry has made significant progress, Bitcoin capitalization has reached $128 billion, and the number of new projects is increasing daily. 

Blockchain will cease to be a pilot technology. The practical capabilities of a distributed ledger allow you to store digital records, create smart contracts and conduct efficient monetary transactions. Thanks to this, there are many real-life applications for it, from the financial sector to logistics and healthcare.

This means that today it is no longer enough to simply gather everyone in one room to talk about common topics. It is not theorists who should talk about new technologies, but practitioners who have encountered both regulators and the hidden currents of this innovative business, which themselves paved their way through ups and downs.

Participants in the conference in Helsinki included representatives of the crypto business from Finland, Great Britain, the USA, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Slovakia, Latvia and Switzerland.

We would like to focus on the speeches of three speakers who produced We were impressed.

Gabriel Dusil, founder of the blockchain incubator Adel Ecosystem (Czech Republic)


It was an emotional speech from a real Bitcoin enthusiast.  He talked a lot about the borders that humanity has created over centuries and which are now hindering the new globalized world. He spoke about the prospects for blockchain markets.


"As a community, we create borders, economic, physical, governmental. We also need borders to protect our markets." Gabrielsaid - But something has emerged that can push these boundaries - Bitcoin and blockchain. For example, GPS is designed to break the boundaries. But this is a centralized system. If the US authorities want to turn off this service, people will not be able to use it. Blockchain is created for to have a service that breaks boundaries and that cannot be disabled.. Bitcoin is the first currency of the people, by the will of the people and for the people. I specifically use this famous statement of Abraham Lincoln in the context of cryptocurrency, because for the first time we really have a people’s currency, not a state one. What will be the next stage in the evolution of this market? Every society is characterized by a tribal system and the creation of boundaries: economic, physical and technological. But there are people and organizations who want to break down these boundaries and unite the world. Cryptocurrency will help do this."

Nikolai Sondergaard from Finland



Blockchain is bright future.

Nikolai said that he invested in Bitcoin at the dawn of its formation. And that if he had the opportunity to travel back in time, he would, without hesitation, invest everything he had then.

Nikolai is quite familiar with the problems of regulation and was able to convincingly and simply paint a picture of today’s problems with the lack of a unified, coordinated regulatory system in the world in relation to the blockchain.
In purchase and sale transactions, the seller and Each buyer keeps his own accounting, and this is a high risk of a banal error or even deliberate fraud. Blockchain changes everything. It is impossible to make a change to the distributed registry without destroying the entire block system.

But the main advantage of blockchain is global interaction, optimization of logistics, transparency, the ability to check everything, compatibility.

Nikolai works at the Nordic Blockchain Association, which interacts with the government to develop and implement blockchain technology in social media. institutes.

Dinis Guarda UK



Blockchain is a code tsunami


Dinis expressed an interesting idea about that the blockchain is inherently similar to the intelligence of a swarm of bees. Everyone does what is necessary for a common goal. But this also poses a huge danger, because the genius who can gain control of the distributed registry will ultimately gain control over all of humanity. Already now, the blockchain gives humanity not only a financial, but also a social model of interaction in the community... And despite the fact that digitalization in the world is only 8%, it is impossible to stop its expansion, just as it is impossible to stop evolution.

According to Dinis Garda, people are afraid of blockchain, since this technology will deprive many of their usual jobs. But it is still difficult for inert humanity to understand that this technology will give rise to new areas of activity and new professions. And it doesn’t matter why the blockchain is welcomed - for a new technology or for a new type of money: “blockchain is a tsunami, you either surf on top of the wave or end up under water and drown!
