This document summarizes Jeff McDonald's presentation about advanced features in Catapult, the next generation blockchain platform from NEM. It discusses how Catapult improves on previous blockchain databases like Bitcoin and Ethereum by adding support for plugins, standards, and off-chain contracts to enable new use cases. Examples highlighted include Apostille for notarization, voting protocols, aggregate transactions, multi-layered multisig accounts, and IoT integration. The presentation also promotes NEM's developer tools and SDKs and showcases several community blockchain projects built on NEM.

The presentation slides for a blockchain event - All About TenX Cryptopayment Technology, Lightning Network & Bitcoin Mining.
Presenter: Sun Sagong
Venue: Tenx (Singapore)
Date: 07Feb2018
A broad market update from 8DC from July 2022. A view on Why Crypto? The case for Bitcoin and Ethereum. DeFi as the first proper use case for crypto. And why now is the time to invest.
Bitcoin is a digital, decentralized, partially anonymous currency, not backed by any government or other legal entity, and not redeemable for gold or other commodity. It relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity. A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Ethereum also has a VM.
• ETC is
1. money
2. gas
• Gas powers a virtual machine.
• Contracts exist in the VM.
6. Blockchain Database
NEM really makes the blockchain as a true database solution.
IoT
NEM can be used for all these other use cases by adding support for all these features directly
into the core via plugins or as 2nd layer standards.

Decentralized
(Not efficient but very secure)
Centralized is a read and write database. Blockchain is a write once, read many database.
Blockchain is a cryptographically safe, secure, decentralized and immutable database.
The cryptography shows direct A -> B history, and the decentralization shows that it wasn’t ever tampered with.
Decentralization also helps to make sure that apps can’t be censored and that it is available in all markets all the time.
Centralized databases predate the internet and therefore don’t have security built in to compensate for a post-internet world where hackers can remotely attack.
