IBM on the Blockchain from Collision
Travis and Joel are freshly back from The Collision conference in The Big Easy, and Travis had more than his fair share of shrimp. They had the opportunity to take the stage and talk about the future of crypto as well as attend some great parties and hang with cool people. Cause that’s what they do. They also had the chance to sit down with Arshiya Lal, part of the blockchain development team at IBM. Big blue has a lot going on in the blockchain space and they discussed the full spectrum, including IBM’s relationship with Stellar Lumens. Bad Crypto collides with the future of technology at Collision, and New Orleans will never be the same. Well, Bourbon Street will still smell like someone puked in your living room.
