EPISODE SUMMARY

Virtual Panel + Q&A
Before covid-19 we discussed the value of blockchain in every possible way, every conference, and meetup. Now that we are stepping in a long economic slowdown how can we sell blockchain projects?

If on one side governance has been so far one of the biggest challenges, on the other side, it might be possible that consortium based business models will be boosted by this crisis.
a) many initiatives funded by governments
b) private initiatives where companies for the first time accept
to cooperate rather than compete.

It is possible that we going toward a direction where companies will finally understand that the future of businesses is in open collaboration in order to be able to survive or stay relevant in the market long term?

BIO

Nací un día del año 1974. Cuando tenía 11 años, fui al cine a ver "Juegos de Guerra", y desde entonces supe lo que quería hacer en mi vida: trabajar con ordenadores. A los 13 años me escapaba al Corte Inglés para usar los ordenadores de muestra y hacer algún programilla en Basic. Tuve mi primer ordenador a los 14 años, un Amstrad CPC 464, que junto revistas de la época, MicroHobby sobre todo,  me entretenía más programando que mirando durante media hora como se cargaba un juego. Fue así como descubrí a lo que quería dedicarme de mayor: a realizar programas que resolvieran problemas, la parte de interface de usuario no me interesaba, si no había resultados que mostrar, no sería necesario mostrarlos. En aquella época el pensamiento era ese: los ordenadores servían para solucionar problemas complejos y no para mostrar datos con un diseño espectacular. Así que, desde muy pequeño, tuve una visión clara de qué quería ser y, con ese objetivo en mente, empecé a estudiar de forma autodidacta diferentes lenguajes de programación y posteriormente, finalizar las Ing. Informática Gestión, Ing. Informática Sistemas, Ing. Telecomunicaciones y Licenciatura de Matemáticas.

Mi vida laboral empezó de muy joven, a los 16 años en una pequeña empresa que montaba ordenadores PC a medida. Luego llegó mi primer proyecto freelance para programar la web de una empresa, efecto 2000 y cambio a Euro programando en COBOL, proyectos en JAVA 1.4 hasta JAVA 8 y finalmente, desde el año 2015, con tecnología blockchain y lenguaje de programación GO.
