Notable Quotes:

"Blockchain is a database. And in traditional databases, there is one node that determines the state of the database. In blockchain, you have a community of nodes that must reach consensus on what the state of the database is." 

"The big challenge of blockchains as we know it today is a UI/UX in understanding how that works." 

"The scalability dilemma or just the general blockchain dilemma is where you have scalability to search decentralization and security. And that any gain in one area necessitates a recession than the other." 

"Once the compliancy rails are figured out, and this is something we've been focused on for a long time, the onboarding of real world assets tokenized is gonna start happening real quick."
