Devcon3 Ethereum Conference— My Favourite Presentations
Hi Ethereum / blockchain enthusiasts!!! Devcon3 has just ended in Cancun, Mexico. The atmosphere here has been absolutely amazing and the support for the blockchain and Ethereum projects is outstanding.
In this article I’m just sharing some of the best presentations I saw. If you were at Devcon3 it’d love for you to comment below your favourites so that other can check them out as well.
I will add in the YouTube links to the recorded videos when they are released, supposedly in about a week.
The first three below are fairly accessible, event to less technical people. I thought the “Programming Incentives an Intro to Cryptoeconomics” was my favourite presentation of them all, as it gives an easy to understand view of why the Ethereum technology is so revolutionary!
