Bangalore Airport immigration officer: "Why are you going to the USA?" 馃檭
Me: "I'm attending an event."
Officer: "What kind of event?"
Me: "A blockchain event."
Officer: "Does blockchain mean crypto?"馃槆
Me: "No, crypto is just one use case of blockchain."
Officer: "What are other use cases? Why do we need it?"
Me: "Blockchain is like a decentralized database where a single party doesn't control the records, and they can't be changed. It provides encryption and transparency.
For instance, all passport data is on one central server.
Indian government is already using blockchain in the Digi Yatra app @DigiYatraOffice and for land records."
Officer: "Wow, I like it. 馃シ
I want to invest in blockchain stocks."
Me: "You can invest in USA web3 startups @coinbase etc using the @INDmoneyApp."
Officer: "Can't I invest in Indian blockchain startups?"
Me: "We're still waiting for regulations." ( he was sad )
Officer: "I liked how you explained everything to me in the last 10 minutes."
Now, he knows I'm going to the @consensus2024 @CoinDesk event.
