THANK YOU so much for joining us these past couple of days β from myself, plus Yousra, Molly Jane and Davier who have been liveblogging alongside me.
That's a wrap on the coverage in this live blog β but we will have news stories about today's developments coming to CoinMarketCap Alexandria very soon.
Plus, a special edition of the CoinMarketRecap podcast will be released tomorrow with highlights from day two of The Capital.
Until next time... goodbye!
Molly Jane joins us to reflect on The Capital.
She reveals she wrote two speeches... one for a success, one for one that didn't go so well!
Thankfully, she's reading the first speech!
Dave Uhryniak, Director of Blockchain Strategy at TRON DAO, says
"Volatility should be viewed as a deterrence to spending. We need to come up with better options to make it possible for consumers to to benefit from the volatility"
Connor Sephton definitely asks difficult questions!
Michael Gord: Yes! Just like the internet, we just need a nicer user interface for the masses to be able to use it without understanding the mnemonic phrases.
Eric Chen: It is the job of an application to offer such an experience that users enjoy using it without even realizing that it is running on the blockchain. In the end, it is about the interaction with the app.
Dave Uhryniak: Soon your granny will be able to use crypto when she goes to a grocery store to buy anything.
Our moderator is Connor Sephton from CMC!
Our panelists are π
β‘οΈ Michael Gord, CEO of GDA & Everscale Foundation member
β‘οΈEric Chen, CEO and Co-Founder at Injective Labs

Watch a metaverse space being built from scratch live! π
Hard, a metaverse creator and Melanie from the Parcel team dishes out valuable advice and career tips for aspiring builders and creators in the metaverse space!
When asked about what metaverse space Hard would build for CoinMarketCap, he immediately thought of blue accents.
He also added that instead of a gallery, he would build a hub with portals for other artists to design individual spaces for the CoinMarketCap metaverse.
We like the sound of that Hard! π
Nathan VDH says we are still in a big beta test.
"There is so much experimentation going on"
"One day the music industry will run on-chain. One day, I hope the federal elections in many countries will run on-chain."
Roniel Rumburg, Co-Founder and CEO at Audius, says no one talks about hypertext now but the things this technology enabled, like Google, Amazon and Facebook.
He further adds that the NFT ecosystem will share the same story in the next 20 years where people will be more interested in the use-cases enabled by NFTs instead.
Denko wished he had learned about "abstracting the smart contract execution layer out of the consensus layer" sooner.
He elaborated that the reason for this is so you can have multiple virtual machines running on top of one validator set.
Marko:
"Focus on having fun! If you're not having fun, this is not the space for you."
Mustafa:
"I didn't expect how big this space will get."
He also added there are many more things and that it's not worth sticking to the status quo.
Terry wished he had started his blockchain development journey sooner, after being introduced to Bitcoin in 2011, but only having started in 2013.
Nathan VDH, Ecosystem Lead at Snapshot, says NFTs can be a part of the governance of communities.
He further adds that holding tokens doesn't represent the level of participation of users in a community. NFTs can help with this aspect of community governance.
