If you've ever heard an enthusiastic businessman to discuss the
blockchain potential – without being completely sure of who I am
Speaking – you will love this conference
presentation.
In one of the most prestigious cryptography conferences in the world
at the beginning of this week, a speaker nailed exactly what he makes

Watch the video, through Jess Sorrell:

This short speech was given to Crypto 2018 in Santa Barbara,

The last slide of the conversation blockchain includes a link to a

Callas, a well-known security professional who co-founded PGP

Apple in 2016,
according to Reuters .
The programming community seemed to appreciate the speech:
