Harmen’s discussion emphasized that using blockchain in the gaming industry can create a more fair world and negate the concentration of power within the authorities.
The money generated through physical games is still massive, whilst on the digital side is also rising, it could rise even more if government will properly regulate it.

Dr. Adrian, shared the plans that they have for the University of the Philippines to push blockchain education forward.
He thought that filipinos should be educated about this technology and as the premiere university in the country, he wanted to have a blockchain center within the university, hence, conceptualized the Center of Blockchain Research and Applications, called COBRA.
COBRA will be a training center for both U.P. and non- U.P. students.
This will be a big market for the Philippines, and U.P. will help push the Filipinos to be part of it.
We have invited professional traders to give lectures about trading.As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow, it is important that people should be educated on how they can take advantage of this growing market.
