Evolution of Democracy: E-Voting, Governance and Blockchain - BCO#3
November 3, 2020 will be a historical day. This day the "leader of the free world" tried to undermine the most fundamental process of every democracy - the election. For months now president Donald Trump tried to sow doubt on the safety of postal votes, he even cut budget of the US Postal Service and is now going to court to try to abandon legitimate votes of presumably democratic postal voters.
Same week, different country: the government party of Germany: the Christ-Democrats of chancellor Angela Merkel are facing a leadership crisis. The elected leader of the CDU Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer resigned and her successor was supposed to be elected this December. Due to Corona the general meeting had to be postponed to January. The postponing just left one crucial question unanswered: the German party law prescribed a personal vote.
Governance is issuing with a huge lack of trust but also with crusted old structures that makes innovative concepts essential.
Blockchain can and will be the solution! Why?
Because there are already working systems that can handle many problems we are facing at elections. One of those systems is DecentraVote, an initiative by iteratec that is doing great pioneer work for future solutions that will make safe elections on a high scale possible.
What DecentraVote is, how it works and why not only blockchain is crucial for governance but also governance for blockchain, you will find out in this BLOCKCHANCE Online LIVE show with:
Zoltan Fazekas, Initiator of DecentraVote and the Blockchain Lab at iteratec
Max Emanuel Schwarzer, PhD candidate at the TU Dortmund and IT Research & Development at DACHSER
Kristian Borkert, Founder of JURIBO Legal & Consulting

CBDC: The Overdue Evolution of Money? - BCO#4
Digital Yuan, E-Euro, E-krona or E-Peso: most central banks around the globe are currently working on their own adaption of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). CBDCs are basically digital versions of current currencies like the Euro, Dollar or Renminbi (Yuan) but using Distributed-Ledger-Technology (DLT) to combine the advantages of cryptocurrencies with the structure of the current monetary system. One should not ask wether CBDCs are coming, but ask who is going to be the first to adopt it?
In this BLOCKCHANCE Online LIVE show, our host Sönke Mißfeld discussed with Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner and Alexander Bechtel why almost all central banks are working on digital currencies and what the chances and risks for society are.
Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner is one of Germany's leading economists and blockchain experts. He is professor and Head of the Blockchain Center at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management.
Alexander Bechtel is Head of DLT and Digital Asset Strategy at Deutsche Bank Corporate Bank and PhD Candidate at University of St. Gallen (HSG)

An Introduction Into Bitcoin - BCO#5
Blockchance Online Live #5
The redditors of #wallstreetbets are united in their strive for fast money and endless wealth. They created a hype and forced the price of stocks like GameStop up to attack hedgefonds who placed a bet on falling prices. But the hype is over now - the share prices are down to their normal level.
In the same time the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies went from one all time high to the next one and many established economists detected a hype.
But is bitcoin just a hype? And what is a cryptocurrency? Is there a one fits all definition? Are we heading into a new monetary system based on bitcoin? And will we all pay with crpyto soon?
We want to discuss those questions and give an introduction into the world of bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Our host Sönke Mißfeld welcomes:
Matthias von Hauff, CEO of TEN31 and WEG Bank. TEN31 is a german based neobank that connects the advantages of crpyto with conventional banking.
Dr. Sven Hildebrandt, CEO of DLC - Distributed Ledger Consulting. DLC is a pioneer in DLT consulting.

The Revolutionary Potential of AI in Healthcare - BCO#7
How AI is changing our healthcare system
Artificial Intelligence offers a vast potential and an outstanding performance when it comes to data analysis. Trained deep learning algorithms are able to detect statistical anomalies way better than humans are. Using AI for image analysis for e.g. breast cancer detection seems pretty obvious. But there is more beyond. The fields of application are enormous. But can AI replace human doctors? Research shows that AI is in some field already more effective than humans. There are some well developed AI solutions already in the market providing services like symptom analyses, disease detection, radiology assistance or support in biotechnological development. In western countries we see an aging of society and a rise in cases of disease of affluence like cancer or diabetes which are related to the standard of living. To support the healthcare system which is exposed to cost reduction with contemporaneous more patients, AI can be the solution to introduce high quality healthcare for everyone. So where are we heading? What is the current status? Will we have an AI based healthcare system?

Blockchain & Sustainability: About Greenwashing & ESG w/ Katharina Gehra - BCO#8
To discuss the impact of blockchain on sustainability you need to step back a bit and define sustainability first. It is an emotional term, especially when it comes to climate change. But there is more beyond this mega trend. Sustainability needs to be viewed from different angles and perspectives. Of course climate change and the action against it is a major part of sustainability. But when it comes to labour, the healthcare sector or the structure of societies (just to name some examples) the term can be used in a broader spectrum. For us the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations form a reliable basis for the definition of what to reach when becoming “sustainable”. It is about (gender) equality, creating a prospering economy for everyone, allowing access to healthcare, sanitation, reducing global poverty and of course saving the wildlife and nature.
So is blockchain a contradiction to sustainability?
Yes, blockchain networks like bitcoin use a lot of energy. But it would be too easy to reduce the answer just to that. Blockchain technology offers a vast potential for the implementation of actions to actually support the SDG and ESG.
If you want to find out how, join our live show on SDG & ESG with:
Katharina Ghera, CEO of Immutable Insights. Katharina is a leading expert for investment and ESG in the blockchain space. With Immutable Insights she offers a scientific approach to the analysis of blockchain projects. She is a well known expert and also supported the German government.
Pascal van Knijff, CEO of Future of Trust. With FoT Pascal accelerates businesses with blockchain technology. He is an expert for the potential of blockchain and its implementation to support SDG.
BCO LIVE is a collaborative open platform and we want you to be part of the discussion.
You can send us your questions in our Telegram channel or directly in the live chat on YouTube. The guests will answer all your questions at the end of the show.

Polkadot Ecosystem, NFTs & Parachains w/ DOT Head Ambassador Irina Karagyaur - BCO#12
NFT's definitively change the game of collecting art since works of art are no longer valued only by their physical existence. Famous artworks are being burnt and transformed into #NFT's. The NBA sells digital trading cards and Formula 1 offers virtual sports cars.
Does that mean NFT's are not only hype anymore? As a matter of fact, we can't ignore it anymore.
If you are an artist, gamer or collector, you probably should understand the structure and function behind NTF's by now. What are they based on? What does it mean to be a digital owner and how can smart contracts make NFT's applicable for the user?
In our show on Wednesday, Polkadot's Head Ambassador, Irina Karagyaur and our host Albert Peci will discuss all you need to know about it. They will also introduce the Unique Network Blockchain in the Polkadot ecosystem, which will form a foundation for NFT standards.
Be sure to tune in to the show on Wednesday, 5 PM
