Cryptocurrency’s recent extraordinary run from US$1 trillion in value to US$3 trillion has attracted lots of new investors, drawn by the potential for huge profits and a culture defined by risk-taking.

Tezos co-founder Kathleen Breitman, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier and Draper Associates founder Tim Draper have long supported decentralised tender.

They have each demonstrated their belief in the power of cryptocurrencies by developing and investing in new solutions helping to drive the industry forward at a rate faster than ever seen before.

In this episode of Web Summit’s the Next Stage, this panel of experts discuss what’s next for an industry that has traditionally been so unpredictable.
