Attending Korea Blockchain Week was a blast.
Seoul is one of our favorite cities, and the organizers (Beyond Blocks, Hashed, Factblock and more) did a great job putting together many of the events throughout the week. Being able to meet with the enthusiastic Korean community and supporters was energizing, and speaking to the Korean media reinforced our belief that the country’s appetite for EMX is stronger than ever.
Though it’s all over now, the events and Meetups we attended and people we met left a huge impression on us. Korea is bursting with great blockchain projects and opportunity. We’re grateful for being included and we look forward to spending even more time there.
