What was your first touchpoint with DLT & Blockchain? 2018 while couchsurfing in Sri Lanka and staying with a host, who was mining Bitcoin.

What fascinates you most about DLT? What fascinates me most is the trust layer that the technology creats. Not only can value and rights digitally be represented, but DlT also allows for a peer-2-peer transfer of it. Another key aspect is the potential for creating a more inclusive and transparent financial system.

Her favorite DLT protocol/project: Too many! ;)
