Activities

Vite Labs COO Richard has planned a new episode of ”The Blockchain Debate Podcast“ where he invited British author David Gerard (Attack of the 50-foot Blockchain) on the show. The topic is, “Motion: Libra is not too different from Paypal.”

Libra is one of Facebook’s most heavy-weight announcements in recent years, and is a fitting strategic prerogative for a company with 2B+ install base. Libra inspired discussions of central bank digital currencies at various countries, some of which already began rollout of the new money system. Criticism of Libra has been on its overly centralized design and regulatory hurdles across many jurisdictions. This episode will focus on whether Libra can overcome these challenges in reaching its original goal.
This show is a window to export Vite Labs’ thoughts on the industry. It is also a way for the Vite team to build relationships with other movers and shakers in the space.
All episodes are available here: https://blockdebate.buzzsprout.com
You are welcome to follow Richard and the podcast here: Twitter.com/gentso09 / Twitter.com/blockdebate

Vite Labs COO also participated in a “Virtual Conversation on Emerging Technologies” hosted by former US Presidential candidate Andrew Yang. The talk focused on how advanced tech can upgrade public sector services, such as improving their transparency, timeliness and immutability (e.g., via tech such as distributed ledger).
