SXSW 2019

You Don’t Use Bitcoin but You Will Use Crypto

Description:

Cryptocurrency continues to gain mainstream buzz, and everyone from your mother to your local barista is asking about Bitcoin. What’s more, companies like IBM and Kodak have all announced their interest in this revolutionary technology. However, many can’t answer what real world benefits the technology offers consumers, and there hasn’t been a project that has gained mainstream adoption.
In this session, Alex Frenkel, VP of product at Kin, the currency for consumer apps, will explore how cryptocurrency will affect consumer’s lives in a positive way. He will draw on case studies from Kin and from around the industry to demonstrate how this exciting technology will change the world as we know it, and ultimately, how this will benefit consumers.
