Firstly, thank you to His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the Office of the Crown Prince Court of the UAE for asking me to present to them. As part of the UAE’s continued desire to explore and reap the benefits of emerging technologies and trends and understand their impact on global business, culture, and society, HH and the court convened to listen and discuss several themes of interest that included Blockchain and tokens, cryptocurrencies, NFT’s, and the Metaverse.

We then concluded the day with an in depth discussion about the implications that all of these will, or could, have for the UAE and its future vision, all of which left me eagerly waiting for the next one.

I hope you enjoy it, and don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE my channel!
