Consensus 2018 | La cumbre Blockchain más importante del mundo

¿Qué es Consensus 2018? Todo lo que necesitas saber al respecto. La cumbre sobre tecnología blockchain más importante del mundo. Del 14 al 16 de mayo de 2018

Se espera que desde aquí hasta fines de 2018 Bitcoin y las altcoins más importantes experimenten una importante subida. Ya pasado el período de corrección, pareciera que el mundo de las criptomonedas vuelve a tomar impulso. En este marco de ideas,  muchos ven en Consensus 2018 el puntapié decisivo para mandar las criptos definitivamente “To the Moon”.

¿Qué es Consensus 2018? ¿Dónde y cuando se celebra?
Consensus Summit es la cumbre anual más importante de tecnología blockchain (cadena de bloques). Este año se celebrara la cuarta cumbre del 14 al 16 de mayo de 2018 en el New York Hilton Midtown. Cada año atrae a los inversores más importantes del mundo.

¿Qué hay de especial en el Consensus 2018?
Consensus 2018 atraerá a más de 250 oradores y más de 4000 asistentes de las principales empresas emergentes de la industria, inversores, instituciones financieras, líderes tecnológicos empresariales y grupos académicos y políticos que están construyendo las bases del mundo digital a través de la tecnología blockchain.

Este año estarán presentes empresas de primer nivel como Microsoft, IBM, Procter & Gamble y Siemens, y también grandes inversionistas como CME Ventures, bancos como AMRO, ABN, Scotiabank y Citi, y firmas de contabilidad como PWC, EY y KPMG.

¿Quién la organiza?
La cumbre está organizada por el portal de noticias Coindesk, y apoyado por la Corporación de Desarrollo Económico de Nueva York.

Qué importancia tiene la cumbre Consensus?
Numerosos equipos de moneda criptográfica acuerdan consenso y debaten sobre su tecnología y exploran el uso de la moneda digital y de la tecnología blockchain.

Especialistas del sector sostienen que: “La reunión de los expertos mundiales en blockchain bajo un mismo techo deja en claro que es probable que esta sea la innovación más importante de este siglo“.

Cada año el crecimiento de los asistentes aumenta, lo que marca su importancia en el mercado. Este año también existe mucha expectativa de que se genere un “mercado toro” tras la cumbre, tal cual ha sucedido en años anteriores.
