In relation to the Covid19 pandemic, Teguh Kurniawan Harmanda, COO of Tokocrypto spoke from his observation,

“Blockchain can be implemented for various needs, such as storing patient medical history data, transferring data securely, managing the supply chains of medical equipment and drugs, and assisting researchers in the processing of genetic codes. These things are essential to quickly anticipate and deal with the adverse effects of the pandemic.”

Cryptocurrency: A 360° Overview of the Landscape

The 2nd panel, Moderated by Michael Waitze, from Asia Tech Podcast, brought together Weso who is a developer of leading DeFi platform Beefy Finance, Irene Umar who is the co-founder of GameFi revolutionizer Yield Guild Games Southeast Asia (YGGSEA), Oscar Franklin Tan who is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of NFT game changer Enjin, and Darius Sit, Co-Founder of QCP Capital, to discuss the growing landscape of DeFi, GameFi, Asset Tokenization and how eventually how all roads would lead to the NFT Metaverse.

With the recent trend of the provision of decentralized insurance services for DeFi investments even though questions in regards to DeFi’s transparency still persist, Michael Waitze expressed early in his moderation,

“There is no real financial inclusion without financial literacy.”

The panel discussed how DeFi is becoming a strong contender for a long term personal wealth building, which leads the audience to utilization of the NFT world beyond swapping for an option of revenue stream.

With the rise of GameFi and other technological developments, we are creating more time for ourselves as more and more things are getting automated. On top of that, what was previously seen as a hobby, will eventually shift into jobs, “gaming will be a job, it IS a job, where you will gain earnings.“ Irene Umar of YGG SE Asia stated.

With diverse developments happening in the Blockchain sphere every single day, the aim at the end of the day is to ensure that this technology benefits humanity and our surroundings. Pang Xue Kai said, closing the event with an announcement of TKO’s latest whitepaper launch,

“The point of our ecosystem building is effectively making use of the innate potential of blockchain to fulfil the fundamental purpose of all technologies which is to improve quality of lives by making complex life-enriching functionalities becoming simple to use.”
