Cryptocurrencies: everyone knows about them, but even the creators of ICO projects do not fully understand their true potential. This will be roughly discussed at the crypto conference, which will take place in the form of networking at the Skolkovo Innovation Technopark in Moscow. The large-scale event is scheduled for November 28 this year. It is expected to be large-scale because, firstly, it will gather more than 1 thousand 500 participants, and secondly, more than two and a half dozen experts on the use and diversification of blockchain platforms, mining, and Cryptocurrency ICO. In secret, the organizers report that together the speakers of this conference managed to collect more than 150 million American currency units in the process of successful ICO placement of projects.

The potential of cryptocurrencies is growing by leaps and bounds. This year alone, the total capitalization of digital codes has exceeded two hundred, and the financial valuation of the seven largest cryptocurrencies has exceeded one hundred billion in dollar terms. At the same time, the growth in the capitalization of these digital currencies in less than a year in 2017 amounted to more than eight times.

Another important indicator of popularity was the Bitcoin rate reaching a record high of 7.8 thousand dollars. As for the Russian segment of the market, it is considered a kind of record that domestic ICO placement projects attracted more than 260 during this year, and by the end of the year it is expected that about 300 million fiat American currency will be used for startups.


Bitcoin at $7900

List of speakers


As for the first two representatives, their projects collected $43.2 and $31.0 million, respectively. And regarding the blockchain platform of Alexander Borodich, it is known that only within the first three hours after the launch of his ICO project, which started on October 27 of this year, he collected more than one ten million fiat dollar investments.

As a kind of proof that cryptocurrencies are submissive to all ages, a performance is planned by Nikita Musailov, who is now 14 years old, but he is one of the cryptoliteracy teachers in the Cyber ​​Russia project, in addition, he is the winner of the TemoCenter hackathon.

According to Alexander Volosyanov, one of the organizers of the crypto conference, this event will be useful both for those who are taking their first steps in mining and for those who already have experience investing in blockchain platforms. For the former, this will be the study of risks and the prevention of behavior errors in the cryptocurrency market, and for the latter, this will be the further development of strategies for running a cryptocurrency business. And all this will be available in the reports of speakers from their personal experience and successful practices.

Exhibition at the crypto conference

In addition to the theoretical part of the crypto conference, its participants will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the blockchain exhibition, where they will have the opportunity to establish communication ties with representatives of both the investment funds themselves and the platforms, as well as with manufacturers of the so-called “hardware” for mining, software developers, representatives trading service, etc. At the exhibition there will be an opportunity to visit departments where crypto exchanges and digital code exchangers will be presented.

Actually, the exhibition should show that the cryptocurrency industry is a kind of generator of entire trends that accompany its development of business areas. Therefore, despite the fact that, relatively speaking, everyone already knows about the existence of cryptocurrencies in connection with the latest high-profile events in this market, not everything can be explained even by the developers themselves. Just as the creators of the same Bitcoin were not aware of the many potential possibilities inherent in them, the current developers of both already created digital codes and future ICO projects of altcurrencies also cannot assume the possible potential.
