Liana M. Douillet Guzman – Chief Operating Officer at Blockchain: One of the three panels at our Financial Technologies Summit focused on blockchain technology, and we were honored to have Liana Guzman, COO at the company Blockchain, offer her insights. For example, on the topic of the divergence between the crypto enthusiasts and the blockchain enthusiasts, she believes that the conversation around the dichotomy was louder than the actual actions towards separation. Additionally, she discusses private versus public blockchains through a comparison to the internet and intranet.Below is a clip from Liana speaking on the Blockchain panel, and you can click here to view and listen to the full panel discussion.
