MIT Technology Review invites you to Business of Blockchain 2019– a one-day conference – for an unbiased deep dive into blockchains and their commercial potential.
On stage at our last Business of Blockchain conference, we talked about the perils of the cryptocurrency craze, and recent headlines have shown those warnings to be especially prophetic. At Business of Blockchain 2019, you'll learn how this emerging technology is expanding beyond finance. We'll continue to separate the facts from the hype, with insights you can trust.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of this emerging technology?
What does the crypto hangover mean to next-generation blockchain technologies?
In what ways can blockchain address pressing social challenges and opportunities?
You'll learn from those who are already leveraging blockchain in the field. You'll learn even more from the hits and misses they experienced along the way.
Join a community of leaders across a wide range of industries and discover today what the rest of the world won't know until tomorrow, at Business of Blockchain.
The mission of MIT Technology Review is to bring about better-informed and more conscious decisions about technology through authoritative, influential, and trustworthy journalism.

Slightly Less Technical Summary
Elastos continues to push forward with more tech updates this week. Elastos Browser for iOS completes its first version of Runtime that includes the launcher app design, while Elastos Carrier introduces new features of the Native SDK (more specifically group feature and file transfer feature) over to the iOS SDK as well. The second release of Elastos SPV Mobile wallet for Android will be published soon along with the iOS version to be released at the end of the month. The Token sidechain blockchain browser that will contain data and transactions occurring in this sidechain was set up. This is similar to how the main chain blockchain browser works. Last but not least, the interface documentation for the sidechains such as NEO sidechain, DID sidechain and Token sidechain were completed which will make it easier for developers to interact with these sidechains when they are released to the public in the future.

Elastos cofounder Feng Han participated in the Elastos series live stream on Xue Ba Shi San Mei to talk about "computational thought and blockchain."
December 16
Elastos co-founder Feng Han participated in the 2019 Global Blockchain Developers conference, where he shared "Blockchain is expediting the birth of the next-gen internet." Feng Han expressed that the next core problem to be solved by blockchain is off-chain trust. The way in which all trust on the internet, including the trustful ledger of bitcoin and trustful smart-contracts of Ethereum, will expand to the rest of the internet, will give the internet a trustful computing environment, truly allowing DApps to run. The most fundamental objective is to protect the rights of each person to privacy and data ownership.
The conference invited the most valuable and representative developer teams from all around the world with the goal of establishing a set of case studies as well as a platform conducive to development for the global blockchain industry. This was also a technological celebration for the mainstream cryptocurrency community
Elastos co-founder, Feng Han, participated in a meetup hosted by Elastos, Cyber Republic, and ioeX. Feng Han gave a presentation on how decentralized technologies based on computational thought and blockchain can help credit mechanisms spread to the internet.
"2018 Blockchain Technology University Tour–Beihang University" took place. Elastos blockchain group leader Shunan Yu gave a speech titled "Introduction to Cross-Chain Technology." During the event, he analyzed the shortcomings of Ethereum, Fabric, Polkadot and Elastos sidechain technology in terms of applicability and scalability enhancement under the premise of decentralization. He also expressed that decentralization is where the real charisma of blockchain lies.
Elastos attended the CB Spark Global Top 100 Institutes of Higher Learning Touring Seminar at Beihang University where Shunan Yu gave a presentation on "Intro to cross-chain technology"
