Former British prime minister BoJo has used one of his first speaking engagements since losing that job to appear at a blockchain conference in Singapore, where his expert opinion on the subject boiled down to a belief the public needs to be convinced there’s a reason for it to exist.<\/p>\n

Appearing in his trademark rumpled style at the International Symposium on Blockchain Advancements (ISBA) in Singapore on Friday, the former PM and current member of Parliament rambled about a whole host of subjects including vaccines, the war on Ukraine, how Michelin star critics are similar to North Korean dictators, and air ballooning technology.<\/p>\n

He eventually proved that either he or his speechwriter had at least been briefed on what blockchain was by calling the technology’s pioneers “people who are at the cutting edge of a new and still infant technology whose possibilities the whole world is now struggling to assess.”<\/p>\n
