"What we're doing is the antithesis of the big data deals,"

A small-scale Meetup hosted by XCITY Blockchain Professional Community — "Implementation of the blockchain human resources application," has officially launched. Elastos Foundation COO, Ben Lee; Elastos Ecosystem Applications Director, Shijun Song; DMA Blockchain Project Founder, Weimin Xin; Professor of Sino-European Economics, Tian Zhu; and close to 30 others from various industries interested in blockchain gathered in
the Xintiandi District of Shanghai to facilitate the exchange of technology and information. Regarding Elastos' objective of being self-operating, Ben Lee said, "Each person should be an innovation center and you don't know what kind of capabilities this will explode into, so the organization might need a variety of ways of thinking to intertwine them. In this way, we want to allow different voices to be expressed in the organization internally, because within the internal groups, there is no CEO, so this is a way to have cross-group operations. Then, the group atmosphere will certainly be one of mutual trust and respect. So the Elastos organization is a holacracy with responsible group leaders where authority is spread out among the ranks."
Elastos Ecosystem Application Director, Shijun Song shared "Usability and Trust," introducing the complex subject concept of blockchain in simple terms for everyone through a series of short stories.
