November 3-4, 2018 will be a huge milestone for the blockchain technology sector, especially in Indonesia, because over 1,000 blockchain enthusiasts will gather together in Jakarta to explore as a collective unit how best to use emerging technologies to connect with the world face-to-face rather than from behind a computer screen!

According to the summit’s website, this will mark the largest conference EVER to be held in Indonesia so that is monumental to the blockchain and crypto communities.

And what’s even more exciting is that Oracle-D’s very own CEO, Matt Starkey, and CTO, Dylan Leighton, will be featured speakers for the event engaging the audience in a keynote on “Multi Proof of Brain & the Reward Distribution Economy for Volunteers,” the premise that Oracle-D has been built upon.

## How Blockchain is Already Changing the World ##

1.    Increasing Privacy- We live in a world where almost daily mainstream media outlets are talking about a data or security breach where at least thousands of users personal information was exposed to hackers. Blockchain technology will allow for increased privacy and less security breaches which may decrease the amount of identity theft worldwide.

2.    Reduced need for middlemen in transactions- Smart contracts have allowed, and will continue to allow, businesses to securely conduct transactions directly with consumers and purchasers instead of needing banks or lawyers to secure the transaction. This allows companies to be more self-sufficient and reduces overhead costs/transactional costs while reducing the time needed to complete them.

3.    Fair and quick pay for employees- The world is getting smaller thanks to the Internet and emerging technologies so many companies are employing help from the global job market. One major problem has been the costly fees associated with paying these employees as well as the time it takes to conduct these transactions. Blockchain technology will allow faster, cheaper transactions which will allow more businesses to expand internationally.

4.    Reduce corruption- Global governments will benefit from using blockchain technology in voting processes because even the best governments can be exposed to voting fraud or corruption. This could change the political environment of major governments on the world’s stage.

The Southeast Asia Blockchain Summit 2018 promises to be one of the best conferences held in the region in quite some time with some real powerhouse speakers as well as inspiring panels aimed at provoking thoughtful conversations among industry leaders.
