Opening Speech: "Opportunities and Challenges of Crypto Asset Management"

The event will feature an opening speech by Ms. Summer, founder & CEO of New Bloc. Summer is the founder of New Bloc, holds a master's degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Copenhagen Business School, and is a serial entrepreneur. New Bloc has been recognized as one of the top ten crypto asset hedge funds in Asia, with its products' cumulative net value repeatedly rated first by rating agencies.

She is also the founder of Evolution Era, which has secured tens of millions in investments, including from Tencent VP, serving over 6 million female clients. Summer has previously worked at the British investment bank Vermilion Partners and Tsinghua University.

First Roundtable Topic: "Mining and Carbon Neutral: Trends in Crypto Mining"

This roundtable will be hosted live by Mr. Dave, co-founder and managing partner of Rawtech Ventures. We have invited Mr. Adam Chastain, ambassador of CoinEx & ViaBTC, Mr. Mattias Borg, business director of ZKSpace, Mr. Jackey Lin, founder & CEO of FlashMining, Mr. JP Baric, founder and CEO of MiningStore, and senior miner Mr. GaoKe as guests for this roundtable. They include pool platform providers, mining solution providers, blockchain experts, and experienced miners, who will engage in exciting discussions on the following hot topics and industry development issues of interest to investors:

This month, the New York State Senate voted to pass a two-year moratorium on Bitcoin mining. What do you think about the likelihood of its approval and its impact on the mining industry?

Bitcoin critics often assert that the energy consumed by Bitcoin mining exceeds the benefits it creates. However, Cathie Wood and her ARK team believe that Bitcoin can promote investment in renewable energy and generate more electricity from renewable resources. What is your view on the relationship between mining and energy?

Some believe that PoW is a massive waste of energy, while PoS is a cleaner method of energy use. However, others argue that PoW excels in security, governance, and decentralization compared to PoS. What do you think?

How do you view the long-term policies for mining in the U.S.? How do you assess the competitiveness of mining, such as management policies, electricity costs, facilities, etc., comparing different countries like North America, Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, etc.?

Keynote Speech: "Bridging the Gap Between Web2 and Web3 - The Future of Payments"

After the first roundtable, Ms. Karmen Tang, CMO of Alchemy Pay, will deliver a keynote speech.

Second Roundtable Topic: "Decentralization vs. Centralization: How to Improve Oversight and Regulation of Crypto Oligarchs to Protect Investors?"

This roundtable will be hosted live by Mr. Michael, co-founder and CEO of Asteria Finance Lab. We have invited Mr. Lou Yu, head of Kucoin Labs, Mr. Robert MacCracken, head of European ecosystem business at Alchemy Pay, Mr. Yang, partner and co-founder of SparkDigitalCapital, and Mr. BUTIAN, co-founder of Blockless as guests for this roundtable. They include institutional investors and heads of Web3 payment platforms, who will engage in exciting discussions on the centralization and regulatory issues that concern investors:

While regulation is enforced by central governing bodies, it has so far provided the best protection for user interests. What are the benefits of centralized regulation? Will it always exist?

The role of blockchain in the Web 3 decentralization revolution is significant, but its functionality is still limited. We have experienced the gestation of decentralization, witnessing its empowerment of communities, such as DAOs and DeFi, and now we are in the infancy stage. What are the biggest lies about decentralization in Web 3?

Profiting from technological innovation is oligopolistic behavior. What is the relationship between oligopoly, decentralization, and centralization?

Third Roundtable Topic: "What New Opportunities in the Web 3 World Do Young People Aspire To?"

This roundtable will be hosted live by Mr. Johann Huber, client director of Gutierrez. We have invited Ms. Nichole, partner of Lingfeng Innovation Fund (LIF), Ms. Andrea Chang, partner of NGC, Ms. Yvonne, representative of Dress Show, Mr. Tony .Z, founder of Allinweb3.io, Mr. Neo, CEO of Bit Engine, and Mr. Ken Cucchia, founder of OmniFlix as guests for this roundtable. They include institutional representatives, Web3 entrepreneurs, and representatives of the new generation from Generation Z, who will discuss the trending Web3 topics and outline the blueprint for the next generation of the internet.

The world always belongs to the young. The Web3 world is opening its arms to the passionate Generation Z, who are digital nomads active on different chains and the natives of Web3. In this vibrant incremental market challenging the traditional internet hegemony, we pay tribute to the sincerity of the 1960 BBC invitation for children to depict the vision of the 21st century, inviting crypto institutions and representatives of the millennial generation (2000) to explore the Web3 blueprint and the opportunities brewing within it.

Finally, we invite Ms. Angela Tong, COO of the well-known contract auditing company Fairyproof, and Mr. V1, head of overseas markets at the well-known Web3.0 crypto information platform Block Beats, to provide substantial airdrops for the active participants on-site. Those who win the draw will receive unexpected surprises.
