In early November, Malta, the blockchain island hosted one of the biggest blockchain events in Europe. The Malta blockchain summit featured around 5,000 attendees, dozens of speakers, and hundreds of investors from all over the world. Software company owner and crypto enthusiast John McAfee told Quintelograph about his intentions to run in the US presidential election in 2020. Despite holding no actual hopes of winning, McAfee wants to use the elections as a platform to talk about personal freedom and how crypto-currency can help us achieve that. One of the biggest announcements of the summit was made by the multi-s government. After the country's success with blockchain and crypto regulation, Malta is on its way to becoming a top AI nation. What does this mean? It means the small Mediterranean island will develop a friendly regulatory environment for artificial intelligence. A governmental initiative to this end, dubbed Malta.ai, was launched on November 1st. Even though there have been some complaints about the organization of the event, with an alleged 220 tickets for a private dinner with the president and the prime minister of Malta being canceled, the blockchain summit was indeed a major opportunity to attract new investments to the island. Will Malta become Europe's Silicon Valley? Only time will tell. Cointelegraph. Like, subscribe, and hodl.
