What is so specific about the blockchain revolution?

There have always been people like us, people that dream to change the world, to reshape it, to rebalance it, to leave a legacy behind. But apart from very few exceptions, they did not manage to reach their goal. And for those who did, the road was always paved with a lot of blood.

For the first time in history, weapons, guns, and bullets are no longer the only technology that may allow a new order. With Blockchain, like Arthur and Merlin the magician, intelligence and consciousness can defeat brute strength. Why? Simply because we managed to create a decentralised technology that gives people the option to peacefully change the world.

I also believe that it is key that the blockchain community does not try to break the old world. On the contrary, we should work collaboratively with whoever wants to help – and this includes, of course, actors from the traditional banking system – to create positive change on a global scale. “Revolution” is probably not the best word to describe the new balance that we are trying to build. “Disruptive evolution” would be more fitting, in my opinion.

Malta is now our common home, and we will be leading this “disruptive evolution” from here. On behalf of the entire blockchain sector, I would like to thank Malta for treating us like their sons and daughters. You may rest assured that the blockchain sector will be a loyal and long-term partner for Malta. Together we are making history.
