Blockchain World Events to expand horizons: +20 new cities in 2018
2017 has become a record-breaking year for the cryptocurrency industry for many reasons. Besides the rapid growth of the cryptocurrency rate, there are serious changes in the attitude of various countries to this industry in general. Some countries prefer to restrict virtual money, tokens and other blockchain products, while others show their interest in this solution nationwide. However, all of them are actively discussing technologies and showing increasing interest in blockchain, cryptocurrencies, ICOs and everything related to this sector.
Smile-Expo, the organizer of B2B Blockchain World Events, offers everyone interested to join the global blockchain community and to discover first-hand the near future of the industry, relevant trends and challenges requiring solutions.
