# CCForum and Malta AI & Blockchain Summit / press conference. Roger Ver, Vinay Gupta, Bobby Lee > One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [750]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record.

healthy healthy quality conferences and maintain that quality Weaver what we've done today they are both fast-moving technologies what we feel is that we keep key with [2:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=150s) the base for our clients telling to conferences on a yearly basis to be a member now more drugs yet Wakanda the blockchain items strong strong [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=300s) [Laughter] [Music] [7:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=450s) [Laughter] so [10:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=600s) nothing happens without that just seriously we are also the best the biggest ingratitude and your chair behind okay because very recently I read was cherry [Music] I'm wondering a joint initiative I [12:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=750s) wasn't sure but to me on having experienced this is definitely one of us one equals three actually that sounds like [Laughter] [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=900s) a centralized but all the other technologies where the CI of reality [17:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=1050s) virtual reality Commerce all the technologies are great but they always require permission to do something right so like internet in Disney Channel anyway musician F probably want all the examples will provider are all centralized technologies so just by this sort of events the educational mission is very important it's not just about the press it's about people so when we need people for that part of our audience the best in space [20:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=1200s) it's about getting the new consoles what truly user agreements [25:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=1500s) [Music] with we need to next two days so I think to muscle to your point is that and I think a lesson to this but ask more questions for you guys specially for Roger and for more vehicles of you know I think I think the the answer to this is in the end of day and I think like I said before is great in infrastructure education and then in technology networks and picking what for and said I press I created the bank before and I work in banking and at the moment for is I'm doing a project with the central bank where actually I managed to get a central bank governor that was to use crypto and but but but I have Africa never easier to countries is restless and the challenge that we're facing is from a technologist so one thing is in strategies about creating the city because I made more as well right in the city and they're incorrectly probably the second biggest exit in the world London so I think the point right now is that we have to make sure like Fernando [27:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=1650s) said that technology works that's point one and I think like you mentioned that Roger about how the the peer-to-peer needs to work and things need to work but one thing for me and that's the question I still did NASA and the human as well my last year two moves can we talk about this is the governance so from a technology perspective I think we get in there and I think we are addressing quite significant but Francis on the base of mob shine does a centralized decentralized system or distributed system because the centralized there's always a gate point and I think you guys know that better than everyone else you special at the u.s. so how do you fix the governor's on blockchain because then I think if we fix the governance we're going to be having much better capacity to mature the technology because press in my case if I when I'm applying a blockchain solution for this specific country I have to make sure that I don't screw up with the economy especially 15 a motion capture and especially faith each one fifty thousand people which is what I'm not worthy now and it's be even more careful but but when I go to 1 million four million and this massive damage so I have actually distilled not like Ron said the technology blockchain that is material for that and then secondly does the most radical part of crypto we shall be a part of it but on the pragmatic person as well and I think this is the question a question I hope we can talk about this [30:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=1800s) so for for governance my personal preference is to look at the currency to the benefit of the decentralized nature so when there's a need there's various human governments and its jurisdiction the national government with the crunch of the first time we have a chance and we think we have jurisdiction over the currency whether it's table points or privately issued compromises but with with the advent of big point for the first time in the world we now have truly just like I said it's a free market if you don't like this one think nothing what they need you like but I myself attended favorable prices that are truly not hi honey [32:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYlAXlIerpk&t=1950s) or [Music] --- End of [750] CCForum and
