Fintech Storm Announces Launch of Blockchain Storm Series with Geneva 30 Sep and New Delhi 6 Dec 2016

 

London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/27/2016 -- Fintech Storm has been growing in UK & India corridor since 2014, the series notable for spotting and showcasing fintech blockbusters way before they become well-recognised brands and for their flagship Europe-India Conclave which tries to bridge the Banking, Payments & Fintech ecosystems. Fintech Storm has just launched their global Blockchain Storm Series with esteemed Technology partners, names TBA.

Blockchain Technology is widely acknowledged as a game changer by stalwarts of many industries, central banks, and rule-makers globally.

Wall Street, built on the premise of one firm trying to decimate the other, is now welcoming Blockchain that changes the game, and forces players to collaborate rather than compete!

When was the last time you heard of scores of banks coming together for a cause, as they have for their Blockchain Consortium or for creating their proprietary blockchain code?

Amidst much crypto platform activity, and suspense of the DAO hack, the paranoia of some intermediaries trying to desperately find relevance through attempts to patent oxymoronic concepts such as an "editable blockchain", the ensuing fork from the Bitfinex hack, and the packs of futurists heading to every Blockchain conference, some significant themes are emerging that warrant attention:

- Financial Services Infrastructure will move towards commoditisation

- Smart Contracts are in for adoption, setting in motion a flurry of trading marketplaces, SC as a service platforms led by no less than Microsoft's Azure

- Total Domination of Geeks

- Interoperability standards

The interesting combination of available new technologies such as Blockchain, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence will be the gold rush of the future and aptly described as "Disruption Trifecta"!

Intersections of Blockchain with Banking, Capital markets, Regulation, and Key frontier technologies such as AR/VR, IOT, Robotics, AI, Machine Learning will constitute the 4th industrial revolution. Blockchain Storm is set to play a role at this cusp of the next big revolution! Blockchain in this new world will no longer be a technology that will affect a sub set of the populace, but a system upgrade en masse like the internet or the smart phone.

Speaking on what compelled her to focus on Blockchain now, the founder expressed her excitement "From Governments to Mathematicians and Economists, from banking behemoths to spunky startups, from strategists to coders, the most diverse of professional fields have been brought together by a sole phenomenon called blockchain. If the last few decades didn't already put the power back in the hands of technocrats, wielding it from the capitalists and industrialists, another such unmistakable tipping point is upon us again. It would be indolent not to seek a thrill ride on this phenomenon."

On what is exciting about the Blockchain or DLT "as far reaching in its potential impact, from the mundane business of collecting taxes to the crafty political science of which cryptocurrency to outlaw, from the intellectual ventures such as creating platform infrastructures for coding smart contracts to the ethically daunting DAO dilemmas such as "to fork or not to fork" blockchain has all the drama of Shakespearean proportions!" quipped Ms Khan an Engineer from the famed Indian Institute of Technology, who has plans to set up a first cross border Accelerator Anti Gravity Labs in London-Mumbai corridors.

"The hundreds of blockchain meet-ups sprouting all over the world, the staggering range and depth of multifarious talent uniting in their mission to unravel the mysteries of this new field, are inspiring us to elevate our cross-sector and cross-function coordination capabilities to another dimension, and also to introduce this exciting new technology to India. Blockchain Storm have embarked on this ambitious mission of facilitating dialogue between diverse stakeholders, different geographies, huge sectors like Banking, Payments, Financial services, multiple technologies like Artificial Intelligence, IoT, AR&VR, Cloud, Big Data, Blockchain - and make sense of this storm. We are fired with the mission of strengthening this smart eco-system of Blockchain adventurers! We are enthused by the support we are garnering from big Technology leaders for our initiative and will unite Blockchain thinkers and doers around the globe." Ms Khan elaborated further.

Blockchain Storm has planned a series of international events, and after the debut in Mumbai, Geneva, New Delhi, Istanbul and Singapore in 2016 will be launching in Dubai, Shanghai, Monaco, Luxembourg in 2017.
