They had conversations about blockchain, a system in which a transactions, especially those conducted via cryptocurrency, are recorded across computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network. The initiative is sponsored by the European Union’s TRUST, Horizon 2020 project, which aims “to catalyze a global collaborative effort to improve adherence to high ethical standards around the world.”
Bachar and his Italian hosts discussed the differences between the Italian and Israeli blockchain ecosystem.
