The Future Party Hosts Everipedia and Others

Blockchain Beach attended “Not Another Blockchain Panel,” hosted by The Future Party, a media company and digital platform for creative leaders. The night featured networking, two panels (including one with the team from Everipedia), and a dinner. The event was held on the patio at the Phase Two co-working space in the Culver City region of LA:

The Decent Platform trustfully transmits digital content anywhere in the world, while Full Cycle Energy has a proprietary technology that creates natural gas from waste. It will soon be funded via a Security Token Offering (STO).

The panelists had interesting points of view on media:

Media is interesting use case for: ads, content distribution, analytics…

“We’ve gotten away from Content is King because of technology” – D. Riddell @DECENTplatform #StoriesForTheFuture

and on healthcare:

“I’m going to Asia and if I get hurt, doctors will not have access to my files in Santa Monica. In this age, healthcare is not digital” – @tatianakoffman, Full Cycle Energy #StoriesForTheFuture

Kedar Lyer, Everipedia’s lead developer made a good point about using decentralized applications:

“The goal for @Everipedia is for you not to know it’s a Blockchain site while you’re using it” – K. Lyer, Lead Blockchain Developer #StoriesForTheFuture

And founder Sam Kazemian commented on the nature of incentivized systems:

“There will probably be more participants in decentralized systems because you’re not incentivized to participate in current systems. Whether you get quality participation is the experiment” – @samkazemian @Everipedia #StoriesForTheFuture

Plus a prediction that:

“I see the new internet being a bunch of different Blockchains cross communicating with each other” – @samkazemian @Everipedia #StoriesForTheFuture

And as always, Mahbod was quick to jump in with his soundbites, with thoughts on Facebook:

“I wish someone would decentralize my first company, @Genius, but Facebook is the big one. It seems more likely that someone will create a decentralized Facebook than Facebook being able to pivot” – @mahbodmoghadam #StoriesForTheFuture

Wikipedia:

“We’re onboarding a lot of “jaded” Wikipedia editors who have followed @lsanger, co-founder of Wikipedia and @Everipedia’s current Chief Information Officer” – @mahbodmoghadam #StoriesForTheFuture

— Blockchain Beach (@blocchainbeach) July 26, 2018

and him wanting you to share his passion for creating Wiki pages all day:

“The more $IQ you have, the smarter you are!.. Make a wiki page for your whole family” – @mahbodmoghadam @everipedia @futurepartyorg #StoriesForTheFuture

Not every Future Party event will focus on the Blockchain, but a number of their events are Blockchain adjacent and may appeal to the Blockchain enthusiast. Their prior event focused on Digital Identity where topics relevant to the Blockchain were discussed, including digital goods (CryptoKitties anyone?). Their next event will center around eSports and the Future of Gaming, so keep an eye out for that in August.
