Kingsland School of Blockchain Announced as Official Education Partner of Crypto Invest Summit, Los Angeles
2018 marks a shift for crypto-technology and cryptocurrency investment. Savvy individual and institutional investors now enter the crypto market with a singular goal – sustainable, high-value growth over the medium to long term.
And despite a media frenzy over market volatility and the viability of cryptocurrency, the 2018 correction indicates a maturation in the market. Speculative investors move to the sidelines as longer-term investors prevail.
“2017 marked the year crypto gained international attention. 2018 marks the year long-term investors – enterprise, institutional, and individual investors willing to ‘HODL’, because they believe in the long-term value of the cryptocurrency ecosystem,” said Jason King, Co-founder of Kingsland University – School of Blockchain.
Indeed, 2017’s boom in the market saw extraordinary growth, and with that growth came a nearly insurmountable problem: a severely limited supply of blockchain developers.
100s of successful ICOs and enterprise blockchain projects have stalled or failed this year because of the blockchain developer shortage.
“Finding skilled blockchain developers is extremely problematic for anyone in the crypto/blockchain space. The industry has grown exponentially in the last 12 months but developer supply can’t keep up. So many exciting projects are stalling out because they can’t source qualified devs,” said Josef Holm of Los Angeles Blockchain Week.
How do we solve the blockchain developer shortage that threatens to cripple the industry? Train more skilled developers. But how, exactly, does the industry do that? Traditional education institutions cannot keep up with the rapidity of change within blockchain technology. But what if there was an educational institution with the knowledge, industry alignment, and flexible curriculum development processes necessary to meet that challenge head on? There is: Kingsland University – School of Blockchain. Kingsland is the world’s first accredited blockchain training program with highly effective technical blockchain training courses available around the world. Kingsland is proud to be the Official Education Partner of the Crypto Invest Summit this year.
“The cryptotechnology space holds enormous promise; but it cannot be realized without anyone to build the technology of tomorrow. Those of us in the industry recognize this problem, which is why the Crypto Invest Summit teamed up with Kingsland University School of Blockchain as our Official Education Partner,” said Alon Goren, founder of GVH and co-founder of Crypto Summit.
According to John Souza, CEO and founder of Kingsland University, the sector needs to engage in some tough conversations on what’s required to move forward successfully. “The ecosystem is hurting. Too many extraordinary projects have failed because they can’t find devs,” said Souza. “We have an opportunity to transform the future, to leave a brighter legacy for our children. Blockchain can be a solution but only if we have skilled, passionate, dedicated blockchain developers who can to build these transformational projects. At Kingsland, we seek out these developers, these changemakers, these visionaries – and train them to build the solutions of the future.”
