 Hello friends, we're here at the end of Blockshow Americas in Las Vegas. Today was the second day of a two-day show packed with lively debates, conversations, meetings, and dogs. For Blockshow and for Cointelegraph, this is a historic moment. Today we successfully completed our first Blockshow in America. The second day of Blockshow Americas 2018 kicked off with a robust debate on the usefulness of cryptocurrencies. The debate took place between Nuriel Rubini, CEO of Rubini Macro Associates and predictor of the global financial crisis in 2008, also known as Dr. Doom, and Alex Machinsky, founder of Celsius Network. Rubini argued that in the space of crypto, there is zero security, claiming there is no democratization and decentralization. It's all bullshit, democratization of finance and freedom. It's nonsense. Hundreds, thousands of pump and dump skimmed, spoofing, wash trading, front running. That's what the market is all about. And this is a bubble that has burst and these are technologies that are totally overhyped. It's just nuts. It's just delusional. A bunch of people in this space were just trading shitcoins a day in, day out. We've lost all of this value. Machinsky responded, the current system does not work for 7 billion people in the world, while only people who work on Wall Street can pay their bills. Now, I know there's a lot of skeptics like Nuriel Rubini, who is pacing here back and forth, promising you that all of this is going to collapse and go down to zero. I know Nuriel, we're both from New York, right? So the only thing we agree on is we both breathe oxygen. Later on, Rubini joined a debate on how blockchain is seen from the perspective of major institutions, joining industry players like Tone Vaze, an ex-Wall Street professional and researcher. Your real estate is confiscatable, your car is confiscatable, your gold bars are confiscatable, your money in the bank is confiscatable. Bitcoin is unconfiscatable if you properly hold it. Speaking about tokenization of physical assets, Mike Butcher, editor-at-large at TechCrunch, claimed that a robust legal infrastructure is necessary for the industry to thrive. In theory, there's no limit to tokenization. Go for your life. Tokenize everything. Tokenize this chair, tokenize this microphone, tokenize this camera man, tokenize myself, tokenize everything. So, block show is over, but the content doesn't end here. We've got serious conversations about regulation, decentralization and adoption, plus interviews about crypto with people on the strip. All of these interviews will be coming out in the coming days right here on our YouTube channel. So, stay tuned. Stay tuned. Stay tuned. Cointelegraph. Like, subscribe and hodl.
