This interview session highlights the intersection of investment, blockchain technology, and community representation, particularly within the Black Blockchain Summit context. The interviewee focuses on industries like sports, health, wellness, and media as promising sectors for blockchain adoption, emphasizing that user engagement in these areas can drive the growth of tokenization. They underscore the importance of conferences as platforms where intrapreneurs can pitch ideas and learn from experts, but stress that success ultimately depends on execution and applying insights effectively. A critical observation is the imbalance between entrepreneurs and investors at such events, with a call to build a stronger community of investors—especially those who reflect the diversity of the entrepreneurs—to facilitate capital flow into projects led by people of color. The interviewee also expresses appreciation for the conference’s diverse and inclusive environment, contrasting it with other tech events where representation is lacking. They point out the need for accessible educational resources on blockchain for everyday people, hoping the summit will foster growth and inclusivity in the space. Overall, the session reflects optimism about blockchain’s potential and the vital role of community, education, and investment diversity in realizing that potential.
