During the event, Cointelegraph Talks attendees will be able to pose their questions to speakers at a Q&A session on Zoom or the YouTube livestream on Cointelegraph’s YouTube channel.

Crypto conferences and meetups have gone virtual due to the coronavirus

As reported by Cointelegraph, the COVID-19 pandemic caused multiple cancellations and delays for major events in the crypto industry. At the same time, the deadly virus has given a tremendous boost to online crypto events, enabling people from all over the world to attend industry conferences from home.

As such, on April 16–17, top crypto personalities like Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao and ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees gathered at BlockDown 2020, a major virtual crypto conference that hosted the event in a 3D virtual realm.
