You can see our coverage from Day 1 and Day 2 or our recap of the fireside chat between AngelList Co-Founder Naval Ravikant and author Nassim Nicholas Taleb using these links. Day 3 concluded with an inspiring presentation from Brock Pierce: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050873824659496960 For those who think investment in Blockchain is dead, Pierce would disagree: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050877325028384769 One of the reasons for that is the adoption he is seeing in countries like the Philippines: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050879169456795648 As well as the investment advantages that can be found in economic opportunity in zones, including most of Puerto Rico: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050880322517098496 Finally, Pierce held an impromptu auction for a photograph by Peter Ruprecht. It sold, in Bitcoin, for the equivalent of approximately $4,000 USD, funds which will go toward helping families in Puerto Rico who are still affected by Hurricane Maria. https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050882456738394112 Earlier in the day, Crystal Rose, CEO of SENSE, spoke on decentralization and the real meaning of privacy: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050826041646694400 Rose believes that we have lost the true meaning of privacy and that it should be looked at in a more positive light: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050827265917894656 SENSE is looking to bring privacy back: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050828682208505856 SENSE is one of the many decentralized applications in a growing EOS ecosystem: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050829318790688768 On the other hand, Paul Puey, CEO of Edge Wallet, does not think decentralization is the solution (although it is important): https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050821825024774144 The Women in Blockchain panel featured a diverse group of successful Blockchain leaders: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050862094151606273 Bitcoin is in fashion: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050863995224186880 And words of wisdom from each of them will hopefully inspire both men and women to make a difference in Blockchain: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050866092954943488 As should the comment from DNA Fund's Marc Weinstein during a later panel: https://twitter.com/blockchainbeach/status/1050845783002513408 You can see our coverage from Day 1 and Day 2 or our recap of the fireside chat between AngelList Co-Founder Naval Ravikant and author Nassim Nicholas Taleb using these links.
