Patrick is definitely challenging the traditional ways of thinking, and we our proud he is a part of our team.
Houston Bitcoin Meetup
Brett presented Qtum to members of Houstons Bitcoin Meetup, this past week. Brett highlighted Qtums Account Abstraction Layer (AAL), our Decentralized Governance Protocol (DGP), and our EVM integration on the UTXO model. Two people in the audience were interested in starting their own blockchain-based project, and they asked questions about how Qtum got its foundational support.
Inkchain Event in Xian
This past week, Xiaolong Stephen Xu, Qtum core developer, spoke on a panel discussion at an Inkchain event in Xian. The discussion was framed around intellectual property and copyright infringement and how blockchain technology could help revolutionize the industry. Xiaolong noted that with blockchain technology, tracking payments for IP and verifying rights could be significantly improved.
