IOG's founder, Charles Hoskinson, spoke at Paris Blockchain Week about the value of blockchain and decentralization.
Hoskinson believes the Trade War initiated by Trump proves the need for blockchain and decentralization in a world with too much centralization.
He warned that the entrance of tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft into the blockchain industry may centralize control and urged the decentralized side to collaborate and stand together to avoid being overpowered.
Hoskinson outlined the agenda for the industry, emphasizing the merging of Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) into a unified concept of Finance (Fi).
