In a recent interview with The Cryptonomist, Dr. Paolo Tasca, a prominent figure in blockchain research and founder of the DLT Science Foundation, discussed his journey into the blockchain sector and the current state of this technology. Dr. Tasca's interest in blockchain was sparked by the free data available in the emerging digital economy and the monopolistic state of early crypto exchanges. His dual approach combined scientific inquiry with the entrepreneurial spirit, aiming to bridge traditional and digital economies. This led to his significant involvement in blockchain research and development.
Dr. Tasca emphasised the crucial role of government cooperation and trust in institutions for the development of blockchain technologies. He advocated for dialogue between regulators and innovators, highlighting the importance of balancing innovation with financial stability. He also touched upon the integration of artificial intelligence with blockchain, the environmental impact of blockchain technologies, and the need for better public education on these topics. Dr. Tasca expressed concerns about the lack of general awareness and understanding of blockchain, stressing the importance of educational initiatives to bridge this gap for real innovation and progress in the field.
