Maybe the best legal system could be Switzerland, the best fundraising nation the USA, the best development capability AND capacity, Eastern Bloc Countries and the best tax and lifestyle country could be Portugal. Have a listen and see how distributed blockchain tech projects can be.

Big investment, banking and administrative institutions see digital assets as both threat and opportunity and are seeking to be central and relevant in a space which is largely decentralised. Will this work in the long term?
Resistance is Futile, you will be assimilated. Words from the Borg to the small Star Ship "Blockchain" but will institutions try to assimilate blockchain solutions or will the technology ultimately be too efficient for them to compete? This week we discussed the entry of the big institutional exchanges, fund managers and administrators and see if their engagement in the DLT world is part of the legacy transition of the technology and the generations that are using it or a long-term claim to maintain the relevance of the giants in the digital realm.

The Eth Merge, and the arrival of intuitional grade “equities-like” trading platforms for crypto. Are these tipping points for large amounts of liquidity to enter the realm of crypto assets?
At just US$1trillion capitalisation crypto-assets are the smallest asset class of the big 5, so small that the challenge will be absorbing large volumes of investment when it comes. Today we discuss both the merge and what impact big inflows might cause. Join Deryck Graham and Nitin Gaur for a quick tech discussion on Eth Merge and a thesis on what could it mean when too many trillions chase crypto.
