North Korea to hold international crypto and blockchain conference.
It has been reported that Pyongyang is to host the first Korean International Blockchain Conference in October. This information was shared by Radio Free Asia based in the U.S.
The two-day event is to bring together experts from around the world to take part in the conference and meet with North Korean officials.
This is a chance for North Korea to participate in the rapidly evolving technologies and declare themselves as a part of the crypto and blockchain community.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
- The fact that North Korea is inviting international experts to their country is impressive by itself since the country has been quite politically isolated in its policies over the last 50 years.
- Possibly this upcoming conference could ease the tension that surrounds any North Korean activity.
