- Former US President Bill Clinton is Ripple’s Keynote Speaker
US blockchain company Ripple announced on Wednesday that the former US President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker at its ‘Swell’ Conference.
The 42nd President of the United States will address – where the world’s leaders connect in policy, payments and technology.
According to Ripple Clinton has worked on shaping the internet and “established programs that bridged the digital divide.” These learnings, says Ripple, are “perhaps more relevant now than ever before.”
The Ripple went on to compare the early adoption of the internet and growth to the evolution of blockchain technology and the entire cryptocurrency industry. “Like the internet boom of the ’90s, we are at an impasse: digital assets and blockchain technology offer a way for value to be exchanged as quickly as information – creating more financial inclusion and economic opportunity.”
