might not get to see it so hi everybody i am good whacks the founder back

00:00:07

to your um we represent that fifty companies actually expected or ah become ah

00:00:15

pretty extraordinary in regards which would be representative now uses you shouldn't records with uh to

00:00:21

the institutions it really true that um the progression of the crypt registry is country

00:00:27

um to do with the easy to to we want three spare

00:00:30

yeah and so on to the topic is the token economy

00:00:34

the truth is the token economy is comprised of well what the different sectors so

00:00:39

and when everyone's your introduce themselves integrate how dynamic conversation about where we are today

00:00:45

or how we don't hear what's next so i'll start with you alexander

00:00:50

the question is who are you and how did you get here um you right um

00:00:59

i got here because i got really interested in the technology in its applications to um

00:01:04

how people work together i just found it really promising i got really interested

00:01:10

third reading white papers and went down the rabbit hole faster than we can say token okay rancid

00:01:19

what about yourself that you or i or or or years ago how

00:01:26

secure hours or talking or securities and not that but also um

00:01:32

way too early yeah and and we kind of stuff for that okay how can we

00:01:36

turn that but we're we're long been cream ice ice you would be more and

00:01:41

and i suddenly we were on the business has got a good work weekends to

00:01:48

so we we are basically for what physics the or advisers for i.

00:01:52

c. e. o.'s probably about ten percent of the market you're done

00:01:57

hundred and seventy million work for fundraising is your demons euros

00:02:04

those programs are very big usually between seven hundred and you remember one billion

00:02:10

we are fifteen who works excellent to work my name's downloads and on one of the co founders of wings uh but

00:02:19

before when zach going about it is the sense about it sounds well without one of the first that forms or

00:02:26

we can call them i see all the time because the sound much like i you know like a a scoutmaster quite it's still around sounding

00:02:34

and ah you know i it's come a long way since then i remember we get ah makes a which was

00:02:41

when i first got skills and at that time i was i think i was over great i reach

00:02:47

housing coins for uh for border within a year to year we are now at at

00:02:53

at this age and so with wings what um we tried to do is basically

00:02:58

use that power are crowded artificial intelligence so what

00:03:02

with the valuation oh i'm a design studios

00:03:06

of the other evaluation and then later is because nineteen

00:03:09

oh we're going to also implement like rotational system

00:03:13

to um also assign reputations to people

00:03:17

for um for their forecasting ability but also for their promotional kind of lets it go billing

00:03:23

ability to bring in the funds for our projects that that that they actually want

00:03:29

john how do your your a good question um so i'm

00:03:33

occurs cofounder storage with the does centralise customers platforms

00:03:37

so it's kind of like your baby pure distract anyone can plug in and become part of the clout

00:03:42

um my background is traditional finance i was adamant some bigger credit suisse and which would make an elk

00:03:47

run determined are not correctly fine i was became fascinated mental condition of finance um how uh

00:03:55

build storage uh from two thousand fifteen we recently completed at

00:03:59

thirty nine dollar i see a word token sale

00:04:01

uh 'cause we basically had an existing took and we're actually buys by um but uh yeah but these guys are right there

00:04:09

uh the super super helpful to undercut them excellent um so there's panels here is people talking about

00:04:17

i'd say much to the space from history two thousand twelve isn't eternity to use williams expression

00:04:22

um up until it happening right here and now i think you've got the finger on the pulse of

00:04:27

oh the industry so the first question is one they're actually that really needs to be asked

00:04:32

pretty nice you know is the t. g. d. v. d. t. v. or something else

00:04:38

john what do you think um i see those kind of that word when you speak to lawyers um made very much

00:04:44

but but who favour the water can say oh i'm still in our disclosure

00:04:48

we basically use the the token sail and i'm quite sure um

00:04:54

i think that i see those uh i generally it because and sounds very somewhere tonight here

00:04:59

um it will maybe attract the ire of the uh uh that's the regulators

00:05:05

i don't remember if i think of when we think away c. e. o.'s is more like

00:05:12

ah i you eighties initially user acquisition runs um i

00:05:17

think that's the only see in way of

00:05:19

looking at it ah everything else kind of is too detached from what you're trying to build

00:05:25

yeah so that really brings out a a very interesting point how do you explain what

00:05:29

an icy always or token still is to someone who doesn't know anything about krypton

00:05:34

i mean many people likely to as you say i kind of acquiring users for your initial

00:05:40

protocol platform resource whatever maybe how you explain it

00:05:45

rancid well they don't have to be users right they can be to speculators

00:05:49

with them or to say with you know what is what right

00:05:54

um on on appraiser for exceeded the they had everybody had to use the mobile out there so they really then

00:06:01

got a lot of new downloads for the for the ah okay we're see article work throw 'em problem

00:06:10

i wouldn't you're on how they decided to would say you were talking to someone not in this room

00:06:16

how would you explain what it actually was i normally start from reno proper funding angle

00:06:21

tucker abilities them it is brought funny but it's not a good approach fronting or you don't

00:06:26

send the product cannot rent or you are like a skateboard you don't get that you get tokens

00:06:30

and then those talking probably the important thing is the beer function mobile on the platform

00:06:35

at some point and that way they can be exceptions to them to good use for

00:06:40

so as of right now there are a lot of two weeks

00:06:42

point earlier there are users of these platforms to dominic um

00:06:48

what what we're talking about these tokens else who's behind it is it just speculators

00:06:57

i don't think it's just like really there's a there's that the people

00:07:00

that are longer term investors and then there are people that um

00:07:05

oh well in in our case for example planes uh they there are people that actually were generally

00:07:10

interested in using the network and i think you see that as well stored is well i

00:07:14

i was in the original stored a route say or whatever and uh one of the reasons why wasn't this

00:07:20

is kind of crazy but i thought you know one day and maybe i wanna upload my brain

00:07:26

the internet and it might get in on this now it's gonna be pretty cheap from you know so uh

00:07:34

anyway set there's there is that the people that are interested and our actual users i think you

00:07:39

uh well william and that kind of uh uh that there was like four different categories yeah there i think it really comes down to

00:07:46

really that's two categories one is something that's more the security type thing and in that case

00:07:53

there are still some value there because there are places in the world where they don't have really good regulation

00:07:57

and so uh or the court system is not that great and so yeah in the west wing out

00:08:03

or existence but someone in let's say south america or africa may not

00:08:08

have those opportunities and this is a way for them to participate

00:08:11

in uh the ins sort of an asset class that they don't necessarily that

00:08:16

easy access and then on the other side for people that are in more you know these places where

00:08:22

are we not regulation and uh jurisprudence in on that rule

00:08:25

about uh and now is the opportunity to participate

00:08:30

here in the building oh up to the mute smacks of global organisations

00:08:35

that are lettering people from around the world into a you know reading

00:08:39

order disk space or in our case just giving us um

00:08:44

you know uh their opinion of the valuation of something or uh

00:08:48

i don't know that there's there's one other things out there but it's a way to participate in that's gonna virtual organisation

00:08:56

so are these participants individuals because it seems to be and to a lot of people in this

00:09:02

room at the where else are capturing a lot of these talks else are getting in early

00:09:07

so as a foreign does perhaps the first token font what do you

00:09:11

say oh who are the whales to dominate in the space

00:09:16

um it it kinda looks that way but you have to think in in in several dimensions of the same time right

00:09:23

oh and one of those dimensions is that um you know ideally

00:09:27

a large a seal participants ah so so you can't really

00:09:32

separate between user acquisition and and speculative uh participation right

00:09:37

because there's no better promoter of the project than a good speculate if right

00:09:43

think about it so so on one hand that's kind of one of

00:09:46

the ways in which the loop gets enclosed with cripple finance

00:09:51

is that your speculators really wanted the token to appreciate

00:09:55

so they're very much incentive wise to make sure

00:09:58

that you project succeeds and gets promoted on the other hand we do see this dynamic way or

00:10:04

oh i there is an early sort of an exclusive a kind of um

00:10:10

a group of oh you know funds and large participants that

00:10:14

really capture it tremendous a lot of value exclusively and

00:10:20

um i think ultimately that if that continues it will probably quite displays more that will uh help

00:10:27

so how are we gonna go and get millions of people to join us in this room i'll get a

00:10:33

grip to space is still very very challenging out any what is that to create a a wallet

00:10:38

even the most simple like jack's ah it's it's still complicated there's there's there's a lot of challenges to how

00:10:43

are we gonna go it's all these problems and get lots of users want your platform for to start

00:10:49

and it's so we have about twenty five thousand a farmer's people that

00:10:54

are sure either display some that we have an area about

00:10:57

eight added lights so we agree that over a thousand x. last year with near zero cap ex near zero up text

00:11:04

and we like this year to increase that by you know ten to twenty x. um

00:11:08

didn't get any acts of a range in terms of data storage uh capabilities

00:11:12

on the that's on the supply side of our market place people providing access to their displays

00:11:17

oh but it inside we have over forty thousand developers they're using storage

00:11:22

is the data layer what applications building on top of it

00:11:25

um and again you know the token which we had about seventeen thousand participants are operating

00:11:31

um the those holders are acting but if this is a quite frankly and under

00:11:36

i appreciate all that other token cell is that we get massive network effects from the people that participate to say other than

00:11:43

uh they want to use or service and recommend or service to third parties and so that's

00:11:47

what we're really saying going back to alex's point is is a user acquisition tool um

00:11:52

in in addition to being a a great point it's control so who are these users

00:11:57

are they people who bought it choreograph early what countries away from it held but

00:12:02

yeah the most of them are um white males under the age twenty five

00:12:06

uh many of them still have acne entering high school um but

00:12:11

um i think that you know the dispersion of them a global a uh uh

00:12:16

interesting way amsterdam a burly um services can york are our biggest

00:12:21

but we're located over fifty countries globally um it it's growing um that outside

00:12:27

of the us in your pastor there's going inside of us in your

00:12:31

well some ice use don't allow for american participation ranch i know you've had to

00:12:35

work with some um do you think that that is a a challenge

00:12:40

or it will be always the tones and i think it's like a part of our c. e. o.'s up locked us

00:12:46

and you basic up the double what it's what you have to say the are

00:12:48

you american no you know thrown out and then also got people working so

00:12:53

right now there isn't even k. y. c. of course the people are doing and talking still

00:12:57

that's becoming a best practised um and they're actually taking it too are you american or

00:13:03

are in some way connected to america ready ultimate beneficiary um so we see that

00:13:08

americans let's say are blocked out of some and now of course they just

00:13:11

come to china has effectively and i see i was really sort of temporary basis

00:13:15

that's speculator say what effect does that have a promotional token cells topic

00:13:21

but um i think the american thing it can get figured out so uh you can see it's sort of opening up already under

00:13:28

the law firms have been doing a lot of work on this over last year's to sort of set things up right

00:13:32

and you know the fact is that if you want to do something that's the security of these for americans

00:13:37

you can um you can just released a stipend go uh de regulate kind of

00:13:42

thing that uh if you can really like in our case with wings we

00:13:46

when we first started wings are lawyers look at it and said okay guys this is probably a security is so we

00:13:52

had to we architect and by the architect thing it and i'm thinking about how to really centralise it like that

00:13:59

uh make it uh the value flow from the user

00:14:04

uh and we actually came up with much more sophisticated and i think better system by actually having to go through that exercise

00:14:10

so i don't think it's necessarily a bad thing i think that smart people smart rooms

00:14:15

figure out how to do that and how to access americans as part of china um yeah i think it's temporary thing and

00:14:22

my understanding is the money that's already just once piece of the action so

00:14:28

i mean the c. d.'s so what if you have a reap your application broken you don't have to

00:14:32

what america but you know you fine but we you know we talked with the is easy and with the top will for

00:14:39

you or if you do everything correctly you you find what but then if there's any nuances of this kind of

00:14:45

you know even buyback single um but its dividend well it's that you're talking about finance

00:14:51

substitute for paying out dividends or russia credit yeah people any any of that it's immediately

00:14:57

than a security security and then on on that one one one of that

00:15:02

securities offerings will be religious because there's no such a thing as a global retail securities offering

00:15:08

but then you would have to go country boy country and make your perspectives okay to do that too because you know security

00:15:15

so we can just carry so it's a little bit because i think that's a totally new read it that has it doesn't exist there's

00:15:20

it's pieces are well known today of course just me more securely talking to the

00:15:24

future um and then there's the secondary market issue which we should talk about

00:15:28

what's the value of a token if there's no liquidity um but let's let's go

00:15:32

more into the geography angle here so what's the next great growth or reno

00:15:39

for talk it's we don't get china's been pretty dominates obviously us

00:15:43

but a lot of innovation we're here it's which a lot of course the home of

00:15:46

the token cells but where is it not yet um ubiquitous were maybe seven out

00:15:54

yeah you know actually i'll i'm gonna withhold pointing at a specific

00:15:59

point on the map um buttons that say that i think

00:16:03

you know in talking about regulation by country we're actually talking about the fundamental

00:16:09

oh shit and and kind of an associated conflict with that which

00:16:13

is the conflict between hitting your isn't not having borders

00:16:17

right and you know if one country oh restricts a inactivity

00:16:24

which is kind of by definition really bored or less

00:16:28

then what does that really mean and how well will this work is kind of my question

00:16:33

he he um so you know we we dealing with global teams a

00:16:38

lot of these projects have members from all over the world

00:16:42

oh they're secondary markets in jurisdictions that be really regulate the model

00:16:48

oh there's some jurisdictions or becoming a kind of holes that

00:16:53

um oh oh create fever will regulation to attract the this market

00:17:00

and to what extent the rate um you know a regulator that wants to restrict this activity in there

00:17:06

a geography can can actually succeeded doing that he is a really big question

00:17:12

um so to me you know to answer your question i think

00:17:18

you know the resolution to that we're yet to see is to kind

00:17:21

of who who wins the the traditional models or the global models

00:17:26

i wanna know who's gonna wait let's talk about it different type of winning what

00:17:30

types of koreans are the winners today which was really the winners tomorrow

00:17:35

so there's been invested thesis has been proposed that protocols are the

00:17:39

only things worth investing it what you think about that alexander

00:17:43

um i find it strange that people would make such a strong distinction first of all i don't really

00:17:50

article means i know i know their platforms and i know they're applications all those platforms

00:17:56

um i think when people think about a protocol um you know as a as an engineer

00:18:03

um i i don't understand the the way that they use that word at all

00:18:07

um he not now if you if you if like me you know if

00:18:11

i take them as saying well we we wanna investment platforms another maps

00:18:15

well a platform is nothing without the apps the running on top of it right

00:18:19

and also i already kind of expressed this idea that

00:18:23

uh applications are probably going to be more integrated

00:18:27

with the specific platform and less reliant on a common platform this is

00:18:31

not quite happening yet but but i think it probably eventually will

00:18:35

and you know if you think about an economics of how the application economics on the platform economics one

00:18:41

you know you have you thought of that piece for your transactions and then you have the application token

00:18:46

that these you will you know gives you access to the services of

00:18:49

those applications the fact that they had to the front tokens

00:18:53

actually is really inconvenient and and creates all kinds usability

00:18:57

problems going forward soul now think of that as

00:19:00

merging together and think of a your application talk and as actually being something that you mine

00:19:06

on the platform that runs that application that that becomes much

00:19:10

more natural and the technology will eventually get there

00:19:14

um and also the same time you know applications is what users use not the platform

00:19:20

user is ultimately end users are not gonna care about what platform your applications

00:19:25

running on so all these distinctions i i really find completely artificial

00:19:31

well your point storage is something that's gonna be used in um a lot of different was cortex tax

00:19:39

many different applications are coming out and a lot of companies ah marketing part

00:19:42

was sorta because all they need is part of their overall system

00:19:46

how is that gonna work for end users and is that something that investors it today i understand

00:19:53

i'm not sure they understand it or not but um what we're seeing are

00:19:56

different applications a different protocols actually building on top of the storage protocol

00:20:01

um for instance there's a d. r. and a digital rights management protocol that then anyone

00:20:06

could use that but then that it would be stored on the storage network

00:20:09

um there's a c. d. and application so we we see that you know that the these things all

00:20:14

kinda click together like lincoln marks i think higher up the stack it's much more difficult but lower

00:20:19

lower stack um you know what companies like storage i think we'll have lots of change partners in channel partners

00:20:25

in order to work with has these are kind of protocols you're gonna block together with one another

00:20:31

do you find that that topic to find an application pacific

00:20:34

tokens but those have value to investors speculators participants today

00:20:42

i think uh not so low

00:20:46

uh_huh speculators are generally short term uh traders but i think

00:20:50

if you're looking at it from a longer term uh

00:20:55

that is

00:20:57

where the the money will flow eventually when the value is there a but of course it depends

00:21:03

on the user acquisition into an adoption race and that sort of thing and so obviously um

00:21:10

am i my personal opinion um i would second more broader sort of approach in investing in those uh because

00:21:18

it's really hard says tell like who's going to be able to execute

00:21:23

who will get the the the user traction who is too early

00:21:28

right um indicates that store j. they've already been working on this for three or four

00:21:32

years that right so the three or four years they have they have traction

00:21:37

like they have a a part or some people are willing to use the protocol

00:21:41

but it's still still very early right so in my in my perspective

00:21:47

well traditionally and easy industry like back before i don't know last decade it was

00:21:52

the the investments were longer term buttons five ten year rises and

00:21:57

really in this case that's when it might that's how i

00:22:00

look at it i look at it from that perspective because um you know like okay right now the market is down

00:22:07

forty percent from the high because the china thing and because of

00:22:11

someone said this or that or whatever but you know at the end of

00:22:14

the day um do we think we're gonna go back to like centralise

00:22:19

ass i don't think cell it's like are we can go back to using mainframes no

00:22:25

so uh you know this is the future that's how they actually gonna get l.

00:22:29

um but who's gonna be able to execute on the vision and bring in the users and which

00:22:35

which apps are going to provide value to humanity in society um that

00:22:40

you know the those those are the ones that are gonna see

00:22:43

the space thanks very much the space in um at the end of the year last year project

00:22:49

everyone we're about seventeen point seven billion dollars decrypt across the space ah i mean in total

00:22:55

ah as well you mentioned earlier we we hit on high of a hundred and seventy two billion or is your another we've

00:23:01

you drop down um it's still far far higher than we were and so you'll tipping very very good um

00:23:07

has this made it easy for you to go and find organisations to work with to raise money

00:23:13

r. p. up unable to raise money successfully today actually displays they were let's say

00:23:17

couple months ago when things were perhaps even more hype than we are now

00:23:23

right so i don't know if it's it's um

00:23:26

it's getting it's getting better course of the possible but you know very very crazy then

00:23:32

and uh so so now where we are is that you don't know more white paper company you

00:23:38

know white white paper companies now you need to we always recommend but ways below sea browned

00:23:45

you know get your you'd you'd together stopped work on a prototype you know no more money raising for for the white paper

00:23:53

oh yeah even in so far as like what actually require the best practised so we know what he's referring to courses

00:23:59

um maybe early days of the tech route sales companies would literally have a white paper

00:24:04

maybe you website in the white paper was a few pages of abstract um there's nothing technical about it now

00:24:11

although sometimes exceeded anymore or or not not now our one but one is that if

00:24:16

you if you have a highly backup to make like a really like you know

00:24:20

computer science idea then but it's still possible to take that approach but

00:24:24

otherwise if it's otherwise you should you know have amenable whatever

00:24:29

product on its way up loose and team and everything and uh and uh when you asked about them the flow over deals

00:24:37

at times but have something for people are now you know want to raise more than they

00:24:41

did few months ago so i i think we have now we get ten to thirty

00:24:48

people conducting a sport on but they asking for i. c. or so i develop same number um so

00:24:56

here's another very interesting element we haven't talked about yet companies from outside

00:25:01

the spaces already have a lot of users are starting to see

00:25:04

this is a really interesting mechanism freedom growth capital does not to

00:25:07

live or otherwise as as a means of the centralise thing

00:25:11

or even changing the nature of of of what do you do how

00:25:15

to enter your organisation has been handle and we work together

00:25:18

on cake for instance which which i have social network ah are we going to see more of this in the future

00:25:25

well absolutely um

00:25:28

you know why do companies actually going to this right

00:25:32

um it's not just the fat it's actually um

00:25:37

an existential necessity for many people and there's no one there that um

00:25:44

players and social media coming of course because um

00:25:50

it's simply impossible to have that business otherwise but um

00:25:56

the real reason why i think is gonna be um an incredible influx of those types of

00:26:02

a business models uh into more traditional space is um actually

00:26:09

because block chain um and an alternative finance offer is

00:26:15

uh the kinds of user incentives that the industry has not

00:26:19

had a you know has not experienced yeah so

00:26:24

let me give you an example right uh take any space where there is

00:26:29

a very strong incumbent player and and a huge barrier to entry

00:26:34

real but example internet band right how do you compete with

00:26:40

um you know large telephone carriers that have all the wiring does

00:26:46

have all the contact with regulators that have all the users

00:26:51

and at the same time obviously you have to compete with them because

00:26:55

you know the the net neutrality for example the huge question

00:26:58

and a lot of people are trying to you know we think an address right well the only way to do it

00:27:04

is that all talking to come on it's right human scent device users

00:27:08

to come and you offer them a token that piece for this service and then appreciates

00:27:14

you offer this token uh in larger percentage the early adopters and there you have

00:27:19

the additional incentive to create the hardware and put it put it out

00:27:23

take another example ah mapping in oh augmented reality

00:27:29

and uh you know virtual realities things

00:27:33

uh what would make like for example things like you know ways um you know uses maps but

00:27:39

ah but for example in that method reality space what would make a person walk around

00:27:44

with three d. glasses you know day in and day out offer them tell right

00:27:49

um and there's countless examples of that that that we're gonna see

00:27:53

where uh you know new startups are gonna come in

00:27:58

they're not new they have a business they have a product you know they they may have a

00:28:03

piece of hardware that they can use to create bandwidth we may have a virtual reality product

00:28:10

yeah but the only way for them to actually raise money and and and

00:28:14

and roll at this stage is typically talking economics so yeah absolutely well

00:28:20

really good talking economics are obviously in a in a critical and important

00:28:23

part of or creating a new protocol or platform or application oh

00:28:28

but there are a lot of bad points out there um what are the worst praxis is one of the complaints

00:28:36

well the process detail some of the worst points out there dominic i'm sure you've seen your fair share

00:28:41

what are the things you say if i'm considering a token sale or should i not be doing

00:28:51

that's the question actually so um oh

00:28:54

00:28:56

well

00:28:58

first of well some of the it you're just right i mean if you're trying to really raise money right um

00:29:05

you really need to engage the the people you have identified word

00:29:10

of your stakeholders right or the people uh that are uh

00:29:15

very early adopters on that sort of thing um and

00:29:20

and engage the market c. d. that and so if you um

00:29:24

it's like to go out there and raise five million fifteen

00:29:27

million whatever uh you don't have the right partners and advisers

00:29:31

that it's very very very difficult unless you or uh

00:29:35

someone that into space for a long time um but as far as like the the token economics this is like a

00:29:43

this is like a whole long discussion and that you know basically what a

00:29:47

lot of people they're just holding on that's okay in classes some ah

00:29:52

and that's not really what but i mean yeah this is kind of like the rage area or let's take

00:29:57

a break from old news so that's sort of what you it's like back and they are uh

00:30:04

that that um and i don't know what it was but it's like anything that was with its kind of

00:30:09

talking softly thought like a mortar yeah right whatever right and actually start car yeah that's not on so

00:30:16

you know and how we actually can get awkward delivered on line or two on line but you know

00:30:20

back then was thank you really and uh it really had developed that point yeah um but uh

00:30:29

the thing is that you really right let's think about it i guess you building like like on any people

00:30:36

and incentive i think just like a normal operation you have workers right and those workers are

00:30:42

it's it's it's on and work at eight am very insensitive use more

00:30:47

to get bonuses uh i you know they get from okay

00:30:51

yeah that that's all part of the management structure uh of of

00:30:55

of how to run a company and it away with um

00:31:00

now or whatever it's it's the same thing with a line we

00:31:03

once you working on its you centralise people to run

00:31:09

it's not you know uh just you know program and still getting them something that

00:31:14

you get the point and uh that's very very simple and i think the best distracting to try to keep

00:31:20

it as simple as possible uh and and develop on there and just see a lot of these um

00:31:27

one of these people like don't get that just one stand a given some

00:31:32

ah that's just it's very you know why doing it's okay in trouble

00:31:38

you might as well just she's stuff that just with the norway right i think in that actually brings us

00:31:44

to uh to the security token conversation um obviously there are a lot of tokens out there are bad

00:31:52

pretend to be utility tokens access tokens um

00:31:56

license tokens but the truth is their securities and i certainly see a lot of

00:32:02

different companies that they come to me and whatever i asked about you know

00:32:07

what was your point four why do you need to point it seems like something just an added to an existing cap

00:32:13

and they're simply doing it as a way to raise money ah that's certainly not gonna work

00:32:18

what happens when there are security tokens when there is

00:32:22

any relatively simple way for securities to view token

00:32:26

iced what what is that we have to change the existing market or does it all princess

00:32:32

of course her with the changes massively because s. c. c. and uh

00:32:36

in in u. k. f. c. k. they both you know

00:32:39

i've now open the of course crowd funding if you compare the you know

00:32:43

regular crowd funding and then they were both both regular subset that um

00:32:48

but the one thing that they don't like from a a crowd funding use that term

00:32:54

a normal people can invest but then they are no hoop for five years or

00:32:57

for rubber about forms of that sort of talking nice thing that keeps the

00:33:01

big we did because normal people going up can get on imports sick divorce you

00:33:06

know whatever and they need to they need to be some way to

00:33:10

comes out well in that sense um

00:33:15

documentation of the good this is the problem

00:33:19

and what does that mean for the current major player storage is i would

00:33:23

say um one the most important points currently in the space um

00:33:29

as i said earlier there's wanna partners we work we're gonna be using you um do you

00:33:33

see yourself as part of the stack 'em of let's say eventual securities tokens as well

00:33:37

we're very much in the utility token okay that were basic unit distinguish ourselves the showing

00:33:43

a utility to avert okay and um they basically our entire ecosystem it's really big

00:33:49

kind of a gas or the the well the next thing terry 'cause just go so if

00:33:53

you're a former you receive a storage tokens for providing access to pan weapon in distaste

00:33:59

if your developer you can pay with with our token so it's a closed loop

00:34:03

because system and i don't think we ever wanna be position with the security

00:34:07

of course well let's let's talk about storage also but valuations

00:34:11

there are a few different players and mini storage world right now um why are the whys

00:34:18

the market right now think that some are more value than others in your packet

00:34:23

market the definite looking fundamentals um there's a lot of hype enters than in our individual space

00:34:29

um yeah i mean i think that if you look at who actually has a product

00:34:33

in production that anyone can work with a storage is the only alternative inner space and

00:34:40

i think our evaluation is very attractive current moment so i think that that

00:34:44

we're not focused on a price right okay we're focused on delivering value

00:34:48

and delivering names you know basically our service and and really grow very consistent

00:34:53

that successfully that everything else flows from that in the token prize will be really a very good place

00:34:59

hi guys i think we're nearing the end of our time so final comments what

00:35:03

is the future of the token market look like thomas are with you

00:35:07

i think it's gonna be huge i mean i think that the uh we're just in a very very very very

00:35:14

these stages of what i think is gonna be like the cambrian explosion of innovation and

00:35:20

um i think value creation so everyone here in this room you know it's

00:35:25

barely under the first for standing i'm very early days and i

00:35:29

think it's gonna be really back fall very american reference there

00:35:33

dominic i i don't agree that it very the very beginning

00:35:37

i think the the other important things recognises that

00:35:40

it's that she is how people are employed in so for the next generation of

00:35:45

folks like this is an opportunity for a anyone around the world to get

00:35:50

their hardware engineer making out with your storage run infrastructure whether

00:35:55

it's in ah america venezuela russia or china or whatever

00:35:59

or if there are are working is there a connoisseur and they can get involved

00:36:04

can start giving project about laying down that sort of thing that might

00:36:09

have been back in the day something they could only in

00:36:12

so on the holy or your or landed as of now something

00:36:16

of internet connection big kind of plug in and uh it's

00:36:19

i think it's a new way of um of importing it and uh sort of how labour structure in the economy

00:36:26

right so what's the future look like yes three to five years some

00:36:29

almost or see i'm a semi investments will be talking nice

00:36:35

that's a false statement yeah i think it is because because them investors will ask for that

00:36:39

hasn't you know addition to invest them because they they wanna see them back with with some point

00:36:45

on the other
