BSPI x CryptoBase Joint Project vol.2 “BSPI Research Department is now up and running! The Blockchain World as Seen from a Researcher’s Perspective and What Will Become of the Movement” We are scheduled to hold.
The first event was held on November 7 and was attended by nearly 30 participants. We would like to thank Mr. Sakurai, Mrs. Mukaiyama, and Mrs. Nishimura and Ms. Kanaya of CryptoBase for their generous cooperation in hosting the event.
Now, for the second meeting scheduled for December 5, we would like to make it a meeting to declare the launch of the research division of our company, BSPI. We are planning to launch the research division as a think tank, which we have been planning for a long time, together with Dr. Yuto Mori and Mr. Kensuke Ito, who will appear at this event.
Recently, there have been an increasing number of news websites and research companies providing information on the blockchain. I think they are providing very valuable information. We, at BSPI Research Division, are planning to set up a place to provide research and investigation on blockchain-related issues in a slightly more rigorous manner. We would like to provide a place for academics, researchers, and students to publish their papers, a site to post their research results, and a place to communicate with other researchers not only in Japan but also in other Asian countries. We would also like to share our research results in the public domain as a common (social common capital).
We are just three people, but we are now starting up this research division with the aim of making it the foundation for a major boost to the blockchain industry not only in Japan but also in the Asian region.
We will be joined by Yuto Mori, who has just returned from a research trip to the UK, and economist Kensuke Ito, who is currently creating an artwork about Bitcoin, who will give presentations on their current research fields and findings. I, Hida, will also talk about how our research department will function and provide value. We hope that you will listen and think about what we are doing to contribute to the future of blockchain in the world in the two hours of CryptoBase.
