Surviving this Tech/Crypto Winter, and building
for the next boom, requires strategies that are often the opposite
of those popular only a year ago. It also requires a change in
mindset. Tech leaders generally are told to keep their eyes fixed
on the horizon. But to navigate the current economic downturn,
looking back at what worked and didn’t will be essential.
The term " Tech/Crypto Winter" is often used to
refer to a period of economic downturn or stagnation in the
technology industry. This can be caused by a variety of factors,
such as a decrease in demand for technology products and services,
competition from newer technologies, or economic factors that
affect the industry as a whole. During a Tech/Crypto Winter,
companies in the technology industry may struggle to maintain
profitability and growth, and some may even go out of business.
This can lead to job losses and other negative effects on the
economy.
During economic downturns, there can be
opportunities for startup companies to succeed. This is because
established companies may be struggling and unable to compete as
effectively. As a result, there may be more room for new,
innovative companies to enter the market and gain a foothold.
Additionally, economic downturns can lead to lower costs for
operational necessities such as labor and materials, which can make
it easier for startups to get started and operate. Finally, during
a downturn, customers may be more willing to try new products and
services, so startups may have a better chance of gaining traction
and building a customer base.
During the event, discussions will also cover
the crypto market and review recommendations of industry experts
who have been warning of a Tech/Crypto Winter. Since late 2021, a
combination of rising interest rates, weakening investor confidence
in the profitability of the sector, and a series of high-profile
scandals have dampened optimism that Web3 might provide a template
for the future of the internet – and, perhaps, society itself.
Experts on Trust and Security for the Web 3.0 of
everything will discuss recent developments to secure the state of
the world through Blockchain, AI, NFTs, Satellites, cybersecurity,
post-quantum, cryptoroots, and IoT technology. All of these items
need to be implemented due to the emergence of smart machines,
which are able to identify and learn from each other and evolve in
their decision-making capabilities and stay ahead of threats.
Additionally, there will be discussions on how
we can ensure that digital identity and privacy become a basic,
fundamental human right, as it is an endangered right. The digital
economy considers every click, search, or like as an asset to be
monetized. Our lives, reflected in cyberspace, are plundered for
behavioral data for the sake of a system that converts our freedom
into profit. We are quietly being domesticated into accepting that
decision rights vanish before we even know there is a decision to
be made, as normal.
Furthermore, discussions will also focus on
recent NFT trends. Despite the demise of the Crypto Currency
market, collectors are spending more, not less, on NFT art,
according to the Art Market Report. ‘It can become addictive,’ some
admit to author Brian Boucher of ArtNet News for ArtBasel.Crypto
winter (or ice age, whichever it turns out to be) hasn’t cooled
collectors’ appetite for digital artworks, according to “A Survey
of Global Collecting” in 2022, co-published by Art Basel and UBS,
prepared by Dr. Clare McAndrew, Founder of Arts Economics. On the
contrary, just in the first half of 2022, high-net-worth collectors
spent an average of $46,000 on art-based NFTs, more than all of
2021 ($44,000) and 2020 ($35,000). A robust 17% of their spending
was on digital art, including 10% linked to an NFT.
