We commonly ask in our industry: when moon? But perhaps the better question is: when sun? We're pleased to announce that Tron's Justin Sun will join us on the keynote stage at Consensus, May 13-15, 2019 in New York, NY.
In the two years since Sun launched Tron, the project has aggressively grown, even going so far as to buy Bittorent for over $100 million—all during a bear market. He joins CoinDesk's Pete Rizzo in a conversation about building a new decentralized internet and content ecosystem.
Justin Sun is founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent, one of the world's largest peer-to-peer protocols. He was Asia Weekly's cover person in 2011, Davos Global Shaper in 2014, and named to Forbes China 30 Under 30 in 2015. He was the only millennial student in the first batch of entrepreneurs at Jack Ma's Hupan University.
We know that blockchains were first used as money but what about using it as a new form of internet? Well, Muneeb Ali is the CEO of Blockstack and is revolutionizing how users interact with data over an internet service based on the blockchain.
