What should Blockchain developers do? Where can data protection law be a problem? What are the most important regulations you should invest your 2 minutes of time on. Interdisciplinarity is always very popular and it’s very hard to live. – Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó I don’t trust anybody predicting the future. – Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó The importance of nation states is decreasing. – Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó As long as the volatility problem is not solved I do not think that the average enduser will use Bitcoin for day-to-day payments. – Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó The huge potential is that the banks and trustees might not longer be needed. – Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó My interest at the moment is in how far the whole ecosystem can be replaced by blockchain technologies no longer needing trustees. – Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó Take data protection serious, but not too serious. – Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó Law is always late when it comes to technolgical developments including blockchain.
