Tuesday, September 7th, in London, I’ll be speaking on how Rally’s Creator Coins and the larger social token movement can help creators with monetization, community engagement, and protect against de-platforming/censorship. The Blockchain Expo is one of my favorite conferences to speak at, as it combines parallel tracks around Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, IoT, and Cloud Computing, with Blockchain and CryptoAssets topics. Always exciting to speak outside of the crypto-bubble of dedicated conferences and take the good news of cryptoassets to the masses.
WEF Davos Blockchain and Crypto Content
It’s time for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland under the theme of Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World. The program is organized under the following seven topics: – How to Save the Planet – Society & Future of Work – Tech for Good – Fairer Economies – Better Business – Healthy Futures – Beyond Geopolitics
While the descriptions of individual panels do not necessarily highlight Blockchain Economy or CryptoAssets topics, it’s clear that they will contribute to many of the individual themes: 1. Trust and Transparency (Global Value Chains, Supply Chains, Deepfakes, Cybersecurity…) 2. The Digital Economy (Token Economy, CBDC, Stablecoins, Financial Markets, Central Banks, Digital Economy Taxation) 3. Sustainability and Climate Change (not specifically super blockchain-y in the descriptions, but I would expect that trust and transparency related to sustainability would link back to blockchain solutions)
Upcoming changes in the enforcement of the FTC’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, better known as COPPA, will have a significant impact for content creators on platforms like YouTube and Instagram but also for compliance for international companies/platforms/startups with an American audience.
In the December 11th, 2019 episode of CryptoGlobe, we discuss:

In the December 4th, 2019 episode of CryptoGlobe, we discuss:
Germany passes legislation effective January 1, 2020, allowing banks to commercialize crypto and provide cryptoassets custody solutions
By updating the EU’s Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive, banks will now be allowed to deal directly with cryptocurrencies. Exchanges and custodians will need to apply for specific licensing to continuing German operations.

CoinMarketCap has announced that it is implementing the Fundamental CryptoAsset Score (FCAS) framework in its rating system.
Like credit scoring, the FCAS will create a more objective competitive landscape for CryptoAssets. The fact that CoinMarketCap is implementing it is a strong signal of increasing market maturity and customer/investor confidence. FCAS is a combination of User Activity, Developer Behavior, and Market Maturity Fundamentals leveraging dozens of data points.
