On Tuesday (May 24), Charles Hoskinson, who is Co-Founder and CEO of\u00a0IO Global\u00a0(aka \u201cIOG\u201d, formerly known as \u201cIOHK\u201d), the company responsible for Cardano\u2019s research and development,\u00a0credited Davos 22 for inadvertently promoting blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
Hoskinson was referring to concerns raised by some prominent members of the crypto community \u2014 such as Chinese-Canadian Bitcoin entrepreneur Samson Mow, who announced on April 8 that his new startup JAN3 is working on\u00a0nation-state Bitcoin adoption (starting with El Salvador) \u2014 about certain comments made by speakers at Davos 2022, i.e. this year\u2019s\u00a0World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting\u00a0in Davos, Switzerland.<\/p>\n
For instance, Australia\u2019s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, talked about \u201crecalibration\u201d of certain human rights, such as \u201cfree speech\u201d, while speaking on Monday (May 23) as part of a panel titled \u201cUshering in a Safer Digital Future\u201d.<\/p>\n
The IOG CEO also mentioned yesterday that he was attending the DC Blockchain Summit in Washington, DC. This is \u201ca one-day, premiere gathering of the most influential people who are focused on public policy action for digital asset and blockchain innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n
