We were honored to host Valencia Martin Wallace (Deputy Commissioner for Patents, USPTO) & Diya Wynn (Responsible AI Lead, Amazon Web Services (AWS)) for a fireside session on "Building a Diverse and Inclusive Innovation Ecosystem through Intellectual Property" at the 7th Annual Black Blockchain Summit at Howard University

Reflecting on #PeterTodd's enlightening visit to BitHub Africa back in 2016. We greatly appreciate his honesty about not being Satoshi Nakamoto and his commitment to transparency in the blockchain community. During his visit, Peter—one of the esteemed early Bitcoin developers—delivered a profound exposition on the Bitcoin code. He delved into the intricate controversies surrounding Bitcoin's scaling challenges, showcasing a deep understanding of both the technical and political facets of the issue. His discussion touched on critical topics like Lightning Network, SegWit, Bitcoin Core, and Bitcoin Classic, prompting us to consider "Cui Bono"—who benefits—from each scaling solution. A highlight of his talk was his introduction of "sharding," a revolutionary concept aimed at enhancing blockchain scalability by breaking it into smaller, more manageable pieces, much like shards of glass. This innovative idea holds promise for Bitcoin's ability to thrive and remain utilitarian in the long run. Peter's visit was not just informative but also inspiring, emphasizing the importance of addressing technical conundrums to propel the future of cryptocurrency. Thank you, Peter Todd, for your invaluable insights and for challenging us to think critically about the evolution of blockchain technology. Also in attendance was Mrs. alakanani itireleng Sinclair Skinner Christian Kakoba John Wainaina Karanja! #SatoshiIsBlack Black Blockchain Summit Source: https://lnkd.in/dU4w9bKr

The most important and consequential property of all, is your intellectual property. It's what comes from your mind; you own it. Therefore, you should have the credit for it, and you should have the money that goes with it - Valencia Martin Wallace, Deputy Commissioner for Patents, USPTO
