State of Crypto Markets in Asia - Invest: Asia 2019Bobby Ong
This is my keynote presentation on the State of Crypto Markets in Asia presented during CoinDesk Invest: Asia conference in Singapore on 11 September 2019. In this presentation, I explained how the centre of gravity in crypto has shifted to Asia. Asia now dominates the mining pool/validator space, exchange market, ICO/IEO, and is now innovating at a very rapid pace.
Beyond Crypto Winter - The State of the Cryptocurrency MarketBobby Ong
On 18 June 2019, I presented at the Malaysia Tech Week on the current state of the cryptocurrency market. In this presentation, I covered IEO, fake data problem, Dapps, NFT, and some regulatory update in Malaysia.
The document discusses the price analyses and historical statistics of multiple cryptocurrencies, including Electroneum, Ravencoin, Wanchain, Zcoin, DigiByte, Vechain, Kin, XYO, Waltonchain, and Siacoin. It provides current and historical price data, market capitalizations, circulating supplies, total supplies, all-time high prices, and brief descriptions of several cryptocurrency projects and their native tokens.

The document provides information about Global Advisors' Bitcoin investment program (GABI). It summarizes GABI's strategy, team, and performance. Global Advisors believes Bitcoin is an innovative, uncorrelated asset that could change money and is applying its experience in commodities trading to manage risks and outperform benchmarks with its Bitcoin investment strategy. The program aims to provide exposure to Bitcoin price movements while managing inherent risks of a new asset class.
This document summarizes a presentation on blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. It discusses that while cryptocurrencies are volatile and risky investments, blockchain technology has promising applications beyond digital currencies. Examples of real-world use cases outlined include ensuring supply chain transparency in industries like food and pharmaceuticals, digital identity management, cross-border payments, and improving healthcare record storage and data sharing while maintaining privacy. The presentation argues that while the cryptocurrency industry still faces challenges like fraud and high energy use, blockchain technology has the potential to significantly impact many sectors of the economy if developed and applied responsibly.

The document discusses the crypto market over the past year, how it is maturing as a market, and trends going forward. It notes that while the market cap dropped significantly from late 2017 to mid-2018, it grew over 1,000% in the prior year. Fewer but higher quality projects are being created as investors mature. The crypto market is gaining liquidity and interest from institutional players. Regulatory frameworks are gaining clarity differently by country, with some like France and Malta taking a lead in Europe. The growth of crypto may threaten some players but its technology potential is accepted, and it will revolutionize value transfer, not a passing fad.

Bitcoin and Blockchain: Relevance to Anti-Poverty ResearchNick Mapmeld
Nick Doiron presented on the origins, applications, and hazards of bitcoin and blockchain technology. Some key points:
- Bitcoin was created in 2008 as a digital currency without a central authority using cryptography to build trust between users. It introduced the blockchain as a distributed public ledger.
- People can obtain bitcoin by buying it on exchanges or "mining" it by solving computational puzzles.
- Blockchain applications beyond currency include digital payments, remittances, proof of existence, and potentially identity systems or Islamic finance.
- However, bugs and hacks have occurred on bitcoin exchanges and smart contracts, and there are concerns about scams, lack of oversight for new cryptocurrencies, and potential criminal uses.

Litecoin from genesis to the moon by Charlie LeeHashers United
Litecoin was created in 2011 as an open-source fork of Bitcoin, with faster transaction times of 2.5 minutes, 4 times as many total coins, and using scrypt as its proof-of-work algorithm. It was designed to be the "silver to Bitcoin's gold" and has grown significantly since its launch, with metrics of success including increased network security, market capitalization about 1/30 of Bitcoin's, exchange liquidity about 1/10 of Bitcoin's, merchant support growing to about 1/10 of Bitcoin's, and currency usage increasing 80 times in the past year. Litecoin aims to complement Bitcoin as an alternative blockchain that provides faster transactions, lower fees, and additional security through its separate blockchain
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether rely on mining as a reward mechanism to incentivize miners to verify transactions. Miners compete to solve complex cryptographic puzzles, with the winner receiving new cryptocurrency as a reward. This mining process underpins the decentralized verification and trust in blockchain networks. While initially used only for financial transactions, ethereum's programmable blockchain enables additional uses like smart contracts and initial coin offerings that have led to growth in cryptocurrencies beyond just bitcoin.
This document provides an overview of blockchain technology and its potential applications. It begins with a discussion of money today and how blockchain offers an alternative that is decentralized, digital, highly divisible, confidential, and scarce. It then covers bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a potential payment rail and store of value. The document outlines the components of blockchain including protocols, networks, applications, and discusses use cases like voting, asset ownership, identity management and healthcare. It also notes that some of the largest token sales in recent quarters have raised billions of dollars and shows the growth of funds raised through token sales.

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are emerging technologies that are still not fully understood. There are differing views on their value. Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger of transactions that is replicated across multiple computers. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin use blockchain technology, and their value comes from factors like production costs, scarcity, and utility. Ethereum enables decentralized applications and smart contracts through its cryptocurrency Ether. Altcoins have proliferated since Bitcoin, with some gaining significant value through network effects. Initial coin offerings have also raised billions for new blockchain projects.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that allows for fast transfer of value through the internet without middlemen. It works through a peer-to-peer network that confirms transactions and records them on a public blockchain. Users can obtain bitcoins by accepting them as payment, buying them on exchanges, or participating in bitcoin mining by solving computational puzzles to validate transactions and earn new bitcoins as a reward. There is a finite supply of 21 million bitcoins that will be created by approximately the year 2040.
A broad overview of concepts regarding cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. This presentation covers everything from timelines, to Bitcoin and other notable cryptocurrencies, mining, forks, use cases, and much more.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightness

16. Early Altcoin Trends
● Experiment with total supply of coins, distribution of coins
● Experiment with transaction time
● Experiment with hashing algorithm, Proof of Stake
● Experiment with different use cases
● Experiment with different codebases
● National cryptocurrencies
● Anonymous cryptocurrencies
● Fun Experiment - Dogecoin
17. Ethereum
● Bitcoin → peer to peer electronic cash system (payments)
● Ethereum → running code of decentralized application
(smart contracts)
● Smart contracts → computer code that facilitate the exchange of
money, content, property, shares, or anything of value.
24. Initial Coin Offering (ICO)
● Unregulated method of financing very similar to
Initial Public Offerings (IPO)
● Cryptocurrency projects create new tokens and sell a
percentage of newly created tokens in exchange for
ETH / BTC etc. Tokens are then listed on
cryptocurrency exchanges and freely tradable
● Most ICOs create tokens on top of Ethereum platform
using the ERC20 standard
● Blockchain token sales > crypto VC deals
27. ● YTD Sept 2017 ICOs have raised US$1,484 million
● Some notable ICO:
Tezos (2017) - US$232 million
Bancor (2017) - US$153 million
The DAO (2016) - US$152 million
Status (2017) - US$95 million
TenX (2017) - US$83 million
Ethereum (2014) - US$18 million
● Many ICOs are illegal-fundraising of securities disguised as tokens.
● SEC (US) use Howey Test to determine if an ICO is a security
● There are many ICO scams. Be careful!

starting to have
market capitalization
/ valuation of above
$1 billion
● OmiseGo - Thailand

company. Raised
$25m in ICO. Tokens
from $0.27 to $11

31. Scalability Issue
● Bitcoin has a scalability issue - 7 transactions/second
● Hard cap in block size of 1 MB → Limit is reached
● How do we scale?
Segregated Witness? Lightning Network? Increase in blocksize?
● [23 May 2017] New York Agreement
Digital Currency Group brokered an agreement to implement SegWit
and increase block size to 2MB known as “SegWit2x”
● [21 July 2017] Bitcoin miners agree to upgrade software to support
Segregated Witness
● [1 August 2017] Bitcoin Cash born - no SegWit and block size increase
to 8MB
● [November 2017] 2MB increase to Bitcoin as per NYA.
Another Bitcoin Split...
33. At this split,
Any amount of Bitcoin you
own will be duplicated into
Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash inherits all
history of Bitcoin up until this
point
Chain Split!
New consensus rules
New software
Group of miners mine a new
blockchain
Blockchain Split
34. Blockchain Split
Why a Split?
No consensus on how to scale Bitcoin for
almost 2 years
Difficult to make changes without support
Only solution is to part ways
Bigger Blocks as a way
to scale more
transactions to be written
into the blockchain ledger
Rearrange how data is
stored within the Block.
Pack more transactions.
35. (A) May 2016
DAO Token was launched
on top of Ethereum
Crowdfunding successfully
raised $168 million
Largest crowdfunding ever
14% of all Ethereum
(B) June 2016
Vulnerability of the DAO Token
contract was exploited
Perpetrator transferred funds from
the contracts into his account
worth $60 million (at that time)
Balance recided in the Ethereum
ledger
36. Due to the systemic risk to the
platform & lost of confidence
Ethereum core developers decided
to change the rules of the blockchain
By issuing a fix to the contract,
permitting refunds to the victims
As though the hack did not happen
37. At this split,
Any amount of Ethereum you
own will be duplicated into
Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic inherits all
history of Ethereum including
the DAO Token hack
Blockchain Split
Chain Split!
Ethereum Classic stays true
to the original ledger where
the hacking incident occurred
with the original rules
