Recently Mavatar CEO and co-founder Susan Akbarpour discussed the pliable landscape of blockchain and crypto, and career tips to keep in mind when building a brand.

Here are a few highlights from the interview with writer Yitzi Wiener:

What is your latest project?

Our platform integration with blockchain was completed not long ago which alongside with our bevy of features makes mCart as a service the premiere option for omnichannel marketplace operators and their top retail partners. Our first blockchain-based marketplace will be released soon. FX Group, the award winning marketing partner & advisory firm that manages Hollywood’s most iconic brands, is launching the first mCart blockchain-based marketplace by Mavatar this summer to leverage “Influence Marketing” in a massively scalable manner. Imagine how cool would be to watch the red carpet shows such as Emmy Awards, Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Miss America that are all shoppable for audiences. mCart makes the world around us shoppable!

How does blockchain change the game for everyone?

Blockchain levels the playing field. There is no race, gender, profession bias (at least not yet!), to privilege one over another that has more history or incurs more ownership than others.

Is blockchain as we know it, ready for prime time right now?

Scalability is an issue — the Ethereum blockchain currently supports roughly 15 transactions per second! To give you a reference, Visa currently processes 45,000 transactions per second.
