Topic: Privacy in Blockchain

As the role of technology in our lives continues to grow, data is the new currency, a source of untold power. It’s not just about companies like Facebook using our data without our knowledge. When the average consumer uses Paypal to pay a merchant in Europe, their data goes to around 600 companies. SIX HUNDRED! Fact is, there’s a huge amount of metadata out there about our lives – and we have no control over that. Privacy allows you to take back control of your own information in a way that no laws, governments or protocols ever will. In this talk, we cover Privacy and Crypto Transactions namely; why privacy matters, the five aspects of cryptocurrency privacy and evaluating privacy technology.
