“We’re empowering people to understand, use, and prosper from Blockchain. It’s new and seems like a different language, but people shouldn’t be afraid. The Expo will open minds and overcome many misconceptions about what Blockchain is and how it’s shaping the future of finance and many other industries,” said Albert Rosario, organizer of ChainXChange.
