On 30th September, Bitcoin Events will host the fourth iteration of Crypto Fest at the Grand Africa Café & Beach in Cape town, as well as online as a virtual event.
Crypto Fest 2022 that is themed “Don’t Look Up” will examine how cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized finance, Web 3.0, and the metaverse will affect the worlds of finance, investment, art, music, sport, gaming, entertainment, marketing, governance, and other sectors.
South African musician Arno Carstens has announced that he will not only take part in a panel discussion with the chairperson of the United Africa Blockchain Association, Yaliwe Soko, but he will also showcase his forthcoming NFT collection at the event. The pair will discuss the impact NFTs have had on artists and musicians on the African continent.
Carstens said in a statement, “I’m excited to be part of something that is still developing and being able to connect with people who are as excited as I am. The human mind is drawn to the possibilities of what can be, and it’s the potential of this that I am excited about.”
He added, “NFTs and the metaverse are technology in its infancy. Crypto Fest 2022 is a place where developers, artists, and collectors can come together on this voyage of discovery. The idea of being self-sovereign is such a light at the end of the tunnel for a lot of people.”
Other speakers participating include, Business Development Lead at Polygon Technology Michael Jordan, who will discuss the future of decentralized finance in Africa, Simon Dingle, and Steven Boykey Sidley who will discuss the so-called crypto winter.
