StockTwits Detroit has the uncommon mission of liberating small investors to take control of their investment decisions by discussing the best investment practices while augmenting our approach with useful fintech tools.
This panel will provide a basic intro into blockchain technology, as well as a deep dive into what the future of blockchain could look like in different sectors. We will discuss funding opportunities for cryptocurrency startups, including SAFT's and ICO's, and how those options differ from the traditional venture capital sources of funding. Other topics include: difference between utility tokens & security tokens, thoughts on regulation, and exploring when it makes sense for companies to explore a blockchain strategy. We will also explore what factors are considered before making an investment in this space.
