The document discusses how to evaluate cryptocurrency projects. It recommends examining the executive team and their experience, the project's philosophy and whether it solves a problem, and the project's regulatory compliance and any history of legal issues. Specifically, the document advises analyzing if the team is credible, if they have a history in the industry and past achievements, if the project has a clear applicability and use cases, and if it has been previously vetted by regulators or has a history of legal violations.

It discusses key trends like the transition from retail to institutional investors; the growth of cryptonetworks powered by blockchain technology; and emerging investment opportunities in areas like security tokens, custodian solutions, and stablecoins. Regulatory uncertainty remains a challenge but guidance is emerging while self-regulation is also needed.

Software Startup Ecosystems Evolution - The New York City Case Study

Daniel Cukier

Startup ecosystems started to emerge in different parts of the world since the 2000s. They normally focus on specific areas and present different characteristics and dynamics. Also, each ecosystem has its own path of evolution over time. In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of these ecosystems by taking the New York case study as an example. We show what stages ecosystems pass through, the requirements for each of these phases and why it is possible for many ecosystems to evolve until reaching a self-sustainable level of maturity. This research can bring a better understanding of the evolution of software startup ecosystems and what role their actors play in this development. The results can be used as a basis for ecosystem stakeholders to reflect and act concretely on improving the maturity of their local environments.

In this session, we'll talk about the current state of crypto-fundraising as well as top considerations in structuring a token raise covering everything from legal considerations to "playing mini-Fed".

China the Internet and Corporate Responsibility

rmackinnon

The document discusses China's influence on the internet and corporate responsibilities. It questions the role of internet companies in shaping China's regulatory norms and censorship practices. While companies claim they have no choice but to comply, findings show companies censor to different degrees using different methods, suggesting some room for choice. A global code of conduct focusing on transparency could help address censorship and privacy issues.
