For a long time we thought that our French system was the best in the world. And it was. But, it’s been years that we have observed an increase in costs in our healthcare system, for individuals, while the user experience has not really changed or improved ( worldwide, ranking us #11 in Europe). healthcare Bloomberg ranking France #8 Europe Health Consumer Index Figures are alarming: in France, (yet, it’s below the 18%-level in the US), €250bn every year, and it has been in constant augmentation for the last 50 years. This growth comes with an even larger for our beloved Sécurité Sociale. 11.6% of our GDP goes to healthcare budget deficit And while costs are increasing, satisfaction towards the system is decreasing for every stakeholder including doctors, hospitals, patients… Where does that come from and what can we do? Difference between user and patient First things first, we, the people, are not to be considered as patients anymore. We are users of our . Users when we are patients, users when we assess our risks, but also users when we are healthy. healthcare Semantically, patients are considered an object on which doctors identify symptoms that need to be treated. On the other hand, the user is an active player of his healthcare: he is increasingly the center of attention. The needle will move from physicians monitoring health indicators from time to time to ourselves collecting them in order to share the proper summaries to experts. Indeed, today we are only monitored when something goes wrong, a comparative should analyse “healthy vs. not healthy” and the continuity in-between. medicine Apple Watch Health (source: Hello Heart) We live a crucial moment for this user “empowerment”: (Apple is hiring tons of health experts), by Google, … We will be able to follow our biometrics and our health evolution. In parallel, patient communities are created ( , ) around their diseases. The p̷a̷t̷i̷e̷n̷t̷ user, is the new actor of his health. Apple Watch blood monitoring weight analysis SmartPatients PatientsLikeMe Medicine digitisation The excellent book from Robert Wachter: The Digital Doctor This new healthcare user needs tools to work with his ecosystem of doctors, hospitals, private clinics, insurances… Here comes medicine digitalisation, which has been a slow, painful trend over the last years. This digitising phase took place recently particularly in the US and the UK, with the introduction of the Electronic Health Record (EHR). All information about a patient is supposed to be gathered at one point. If today , hospitals still do not communicate with one another, , and user interfaces are still very poor. Few doctors consider this transition as a success. Mainly, because they have been designed for the ones paying: hospitals who want to optimize their billing and who have beenheavily incentivized by the government to invest in EHRs. more than 70% of American hospitals have an EHR doctors still do not agree on what level of information they should share with patients Dossier Médical Personnel In France, the “Dossier Médical Personnel”, our equivalent of EHR, has been promoted by the government with over . And we haven’t seen any proper private initiatives yet. €500m investment for less than 400.000 subscribers. It has turned into a fiasco What should we see in an EHR? On a user-based approach, I believe it should be the combination of our medical interactions with the healthcare system (doctors you’ve seen and when, which drugs have been prescribed, what have been the diagnoses, lab results, etc…) combined with standard information from wearables and sensors that monitor our health. Google ontact lens to measure glucose in tears. (Credit: New York Times, Google, via Agence France-Presse — Getty Images) Connected devices (wearables, quantified self apps, sensors…) are huge collectors of health data and information. Google is right now working on several sensors to monitor pulse, , with its new brand (formerly Google Life Sciences)… A lot of start-ups such as with its HealthPatch, continuous blood pressure monitoring for , and are very active. Nevertheless, these data will be almost worthless for the end-user if we do not edit the right data-management to analyse information. , and the next big step is to switch from displaying data to generating valuable insight from data. sugar levels Verily Vital Connect Quanttus clinical trials some others Quantified-self does not mean qualified-self Alphabet introducing Verily their new branding for Google Life Sciences We have to move forward a complete EHR system step by step. It does not have to be fully complete and universal from scratch. It is a matter of daily implementation. Doctors tasks will be replaced or completed With this huge amount of information coming from everywhere, the development of new technologies, doctors’ job is to evolve along with the interaction with users. And we hope for the best. I really believe that doctors will remain at the center of our healthcare system for a long time. It is their scope and the way they will be assisted that will change. Da Vinci robotic surgery in action Robotics has started to enter in healthcare mainly with system developed by Intuitive Surgical, that has performed more than 3 million surgeries worldwide. It is still expensive as an investment, every operation requires the purchase of another specific pack, but there is a trend towards more and more robotisation and tools to assist surgeries. Here in France, we have which has not reached the same market penetration yet.New generation of surgery robots is under development with the objective to be autonomous, and to conduct routine surgeries in less time, with less human errors, and ultimately cheaper than standard ones. Will surgery become a commodity accessible to everybody? The question is still open and requires a lot of development. Da Vinci robotic Robot Rosa from Medtech If we can help the hand, we can also help the brain. I spoke in a about Artificial Intelligence (and the difficulty to define it), but we see a trend in machine-learning / artificial intelligence to help doctors take better decisions. is somehow trying to lead the way with the Watson tools. The aim is to distribute them to every single hospital. They have signed deals with (work on rare pediatric diseases), (prediction of health deterioration), Medtronic, or (understanding scientific papers and create a health coach), (providing access to data from apps) in order to support doctors in their decisions on diagnoses and treatments. Deep learning has also proven very useful in image recognition, with companies such as which raised another . previous article IBM Watson Boston Children’s Hospital CVS Health Johnson & Johnson Apple Enlitic $10m for radiology image recognition I believe that AI will enable better diagnosis and personalized medical recommendations, help to scale information and distribute it. It will be the support tool for the new doctors to access, manage and treat data. It follows the same trend that consumer knowledge which has switched from memory to Google. Personalised medicine & prevention This evolution and the huge amont of data we are able to analyse are to be completed by new data-streams and more focus on prevention and healthcare personalisation. Among this, DNA sequencing and analysis is a fascinating topic. The history of genome sequencing is fantastic, beginning with a between public and private initiatives (aka ) to sequence in 2001 the first complete human genome. And since then, cost and speed have improved three times faster than Moore’s law. $100m in 2001 to c.$1,000 today. Not so bad. race Craig Venter Evolution of DNA sequencing costs from $100m to less than $1,000 in 15 years (source: National Human Genome Research Institute) Several initiatives are around to understand better our genome. Not in France of course. National initiatives: UK project with the NHS support, whole country sequencing in , the US and Obama pushing for a with the “Precision Medicine Initiative”, . But also private initiatives such as (Craig Venter again), which mission is to accumulate the largest genomics data set ever with 1 million full human genomes, microbiomes, … 100,000 genomes Iceland $215m sequencing project China announcing even larger numbers Human Longevity Inc. Ling Min Jian; lab technician at the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), the world’s largest genome sequencing center. Collecting enormous amount of data is a great challenge that we are addressing now worldwide. But understanding or generating insight from it is even harder. It is like trying to find a bug in a program by looking at the 0s and 1s. You have to get really good eyes and computer power. That’s also why it’s one of the big topic of interest for the GAFA. The excellent of , founder of health website Doctissimo and DNA sequencing DNAVision, are a great read on the topic. articles Laurent Alexandre Illumina’s gene sequencer (Credit: Illumina) Nevertheless, sequencing is changing specific parts of personalised medicine. The one I want to focus on is cancer sequencing. By sequencing blood samples, we detect cancer earlier, we can select and test treatments based on your cancer genetics, and thus we can dramatically reduce costs and risks. Two companies recently raised $100m each in the field: and through Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and . Of course, we are still at the beginning and industrial scaling will raise new questions, but it’s out there. Guardant Health GRAIL initiative Illumina Once we can analyse your genome, microbiome, environmental interaction we could be able to target treatments, anticipate diseases… We already see that machine-learning analysis of demographics and somehow epigenetics data (in the broad sense) gives us great assessment of individual risks in order to be guided in the healthcare system. I see two steps in the progress: first a better understanding of our risks to develop diseases based on an overall appreciation of who we are and that will leads us to meet the right doctors at the right time. My hope is that soon enough these doctors will have the best tools to personalise the way they help us to be healthy. All these technologies, for what? Towards new players to serve users As I said before, we are now to be considered as users. And as users, we take informed decisions on what we should buy. One of the central players in the healthcare system is health insurance and sadly, health insurance is one of the last industries which has done nothing to make things accessible: we don’t know what we pay for, what the level of service is, if there is any service at all... In the US, statistics say that . This market status in the US is well documented in this . Metrics seems to be similar in France even if less documented. only one out of seven Americans understands the basic components of a health-insurance plan (Journal of Health Economics) great series of articles The complexity arises from several factors: a multi-stakeholder market (I am not the one choosing how I treat my symptoms, it is the doctor who makes the choice), a complex billing process (shared between doctor, Sécurité Sociale, Complémentaire Santé, reste à charge, ticket modérateur…), no user-centric focus. Indeed, even if you wanted to interact more with your health insurance, the user experience would be really poor today. We don’t understand benefits, websites are far away from what we see in other fields, and it looks like an insurer’s objective to make his customer service difficult to reach. It obviously creates strange dynamics and misalignment of interests. The interactions with your insurance are just about transaction, confrontation . “how can I get paid back as fast as possible?” Nevertheless, I believe that we are today at the edge of a new beginning where product design and technologies can help us to create a user-centric insurance where everything is about giving the best experience. In the US, some start-ups with very interesting metrics of adoption have paved the way: in New York, or . Oscar Collective Health Clover Health In France, we can improve the understanding of what we pay for, how we can navigate in this complex and sometime unfriendly healthcare system. It means building trust between players (the patient, the doctor, the insurer) and going towards more active and personalized prevention. A great health insurance should help us do that. It should be the platform to reach all the technologies and services we have started to analyse in this article, always thinking of what is best for its users. It is a dramatic switch from what exists today, but it can be done with the right focus and technologies.

UAE Researchers Say Audio is the Secret Sauce in Helping AI Understand Videos

I've written several articles here on HackerNoon about the concept of Karma. I’ve always thought of Karma as a type of currency, deriving it from the functioning of monetary systems. A few days ago, I applied for the World Grant program, and while filling out the forms, I was reminded of an approach that I will present in more detail in this article. The Gamification of Helping Others Gamification is a very powerful motivating force. Many people run kilometers or learn a language just to earn a few digital badges. The idea almost suggests itself: what if we tried to gamify helping others? If we could encourage people, even just a little, to do good for others, it would make the world a much better place. The idea isn't entirely new. In 2009, Philip Rosedale (CTO of SecondLife) launched a startup called LoveMachine Inc., where, among other things, developers could 'send love' to each other. If someone wanted to express their gratitude to a colleague, they could send them love, which was like a badge that was publicly visible on the developer's profile. This was, of course, a very simple way of gamifying acts of kindness, but it was very inspiring to me at the time (the company has since shut down, so it’s only accessible via the Internet Archive). My other major inspiration is the protagonist of Charles Stross's novel Accelerando, Manfred Macx, who lived a prosperous life entirely without money, essentially based on favors. Is this really possible? Could one live without money, relying solely on mutual favors?" Economy of Favors In fact, the favor economy is the most natural form of economy. Doing favors is so fundamental that we don’t even consider it a business transaction, though that’s essentially what it is. When we do a favor for a friend, it’s perfectly reasonable to expect that in a similar situation, they would do the same for us. If favor-giving is always one-sided, we eventually feel taken advantage of, and the friendship often deteriorates. While this isn’t as precisely measurable as money, we subconsciously keep a 'cognitive ledger' of favors. About 2 million years ago, our ancestors lived in small communities and got along just fine without money. People would go hunting together, and if someone returned empty-handed from gathering, others would help them. In return, if someone else needed help, the community would support them. The economy of favors, therefore, works very well in small communities, but it has a significant limitation: it requires personal acquaintance. When the participants in a business transaction don’t know each other, or the transaction involves multiple people, the process becomes entirely untraceable, and the 'cognitive ledger' no longer works. This is why barter trade was established and, eventually, money. I have an entire article on the history of money. For those interested in a more detailed exploration of how money developed and what it really is, it might be worth a read. https://hackernoon.com/a-brief-history-of-money-from-the-economy-of-favors-to-bitcoin?embedable=true Karma: The Modernized Version of the Economy of Favors If we want to build an economy with a different dynamic, we need to return to the roots. In this sense, Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies are not true alternatives to the current monetary system. They are speculative assets, much like national currencies, with the difference being that they aren’t issued by any one country. If we want to change the dynamics of the economy, we need to go further back in time to the concept of the economy of favors. As I mentioned earlier, the limitation of the economy of favors stems from the limitations of the 'cognitive ledger.' Favor transactions only work between people who know each other well personally. This is a significant limitation. If we could replace the 'cognitive ledger' with a global ledger, it would remove this barrier. Fortunately, we already have such a technology: the blockchain. By definition, the blockchain is a global ledger operated and owned by the community. It cannot be censored or tampered with. It is the perfect tool to extend the reach of the economy of favors from a small local community to the entire world. How does Karma work? Since I've already written a very detailed article on how Karma works from a technological perspective, here I’ll only provide a brief overview, highlighting the parts that are new to the concept. https://hackernoon.com/karma-an-erc20-compatible-alternative-money-on-the-ethereum-blockchain?embedable=true From a technological perspective, Karma is an ERC20 token, so it works with any Ethereum-compatible wallet. Sending Karma to anyone is as simple as sending any other ERC20 token. One major difference from other ERC20 tokens is that Karma never runs out. In this sense, it’s not like money; it’s more like love. Although Karma never runs out, it’s still not wise to spend it limitlessly, because all outgoing and incoming Karma transactions are public. This visibility shows how much kindness someone has offered to others and how much they’ve received in return. If someone has a lot of 'outgoing' Karma but little 'incoming' Karma, it means they’ve received more favors than they’ve given, which could negatively impact how others perceive them. Ideally, there should be a balance between 'incoming' and 'outgoing' Karma. The truly exciting feature of Karma is that transactions form a directed weighted graph, where cycles can emerge. Let’s say we pick up a hitchhiker (let's call him Tom) and give him a ride, for which he sends us Karma in gratitude. A few months later, Tom finds a lost kitten and, based on the tag on its collar, returns it to its owner, Alice, who gives Tom Karma as a thank-you. At her workplace, Alice helps her colleague John solve a problem, and John, in turn, gives her Karma in appreciation. Years later, we get a flat tire and don’t have a jack. Fortunately, another driver stops to help us—it's John. We send him Karma in gratitude, and the circle is complete. Imagine seeing in the app how the help we gave Tom years ago when we gave him a ride, eventually made its way back to us. This is where the name 'Karma' comes from. The philosophy of Karma, in short, is: do good things, and good things will happen to you. The Karma system visualizes this process and simultaneously incentivizes users to do good for others. Since Karma is not tied to the monetary system, it’s entirely up to us how much Karma we reward for a favor. As a general guideline, we might say that one hour of work is worth 100 Karma. However, if someone does us a big favor, we could give them 200 Karma for just 10 minutes of work, or if we feel it was a small favor, we could give only 50 Karma for an hour of work. It’s completely up to us how we value a fellow person’s favor. The basic requirement for the system to function is that each person can only have one profile, thus preventing Sybil attacks. If this condition is not met, anyone could create a new profile if their incoming and outgoing Karma balance is off, or use fake profiles to send Karma to themselves, misleading others. The perfect solution to this problem is WorldID, which provides a unique identifier linked to an iris, ensuring that each person can only have one WorldID. I’ve written a detailed article on how WorldID works. https://hackernoon.com/a-brief-introduction-of-worldcoin-proof-of-unique-humanness-on-blockchain?embedable=true Alongside WorldID, other elements of the World ecosystem provide an ideal foundation for Karma. WorldChain, World’s own Optimism-based L2 solution, is a perfect choice for running the system. On this chain, people with validated WorldIDs can execute transactions for free. The World App includes a built-in wallet necessary for ERC20 transactions, and the visual UI can be made accessible through a Mini App. So, is Karma money or not? One of the great lessons of the Bitcoin revolution, for me, is that money is whatever we consider it to be. If a group accepts something as money, then it is money. Money is nothing more than a social contract. In this sense, Karma can also function as money. Let’s look at an example of how Karma could replace money. If we want to get somewhere by car, we could call an Uber and pay the driver. However, we could also find someone who’s heading in the same direction and ask them to give us a ride in exchange for Karma. A whole 'favor-based Uber' service could be built on this idea. Similarly, a 'favor-based Airbnb' and other services are also conceivable. In small local communities, Karma could even fully replace money. Since all Karma transactions are permanently and publicly visible on each person’s profile, and everyone can only have one profile, Karma accounting becomes a very serious matter. We can think of it as a kind of credit system where the collateral is our unique profile and reputation. In some cases, this could even be a more substantial guarantee than a person’s wealth. Summary Although Karma can be derived from the monetary system, the goal has always been to create something better. Something that can’t be speculated on, accumulated, or increase social inequality. That’s what Karma is— a system that gamifies helping others and encourages people to do good for one another. If the concept proves even slightly workable and fulfills its promise, then it has been worth pursuing. Through Karma, perhaps the world can become a slightly better place...

It is the perfect tool to extend the reach of the economy of favors from a small local community to the entire world. How does Karma work? Since I've already written a very detailed article on how Karma works from a technological perspective, here I’ll only provide a brief overview, highlighting the parts that are new to the concept. https://hackernoon.com/karma-an-erc20-compatible-alternative-money-on-the-ethereum-blockchain?embedable=true https://hackernoon.com/karma-an-erc20-compatible-alternative-money-on-the-ethereum-blockchain?embedable=true From a technological perspective, Karma is an ERC20 token, so it works with any Ethereum-compatible wallet. Sending Karma to anyone is as simple as sending any other ERC20 token. ERC20 One major difference from other ERC20 tokens is that Karma never runs out. In this sense, it’s not like money; it’s more like love . it’s not like money; it’s more like love Although Karma never runs out, it’s still not wise to spend it limitlessly, because all outgoing and incoming Karma transactions are public. This visibility shows how much kindness someone has offered to others and how much they’ve received in return. If someone has a lot of 'outgoing' Karma but little 'incoming' Karma, it means they’ve received more favors than they’ve given, which could negatively impact how others perceive them. Ideally, there should be a balance between 'incoming' and 'outgoing' Karma. The truly exciting feature of Karma is that transactions form a directed weighted graph, where cycles can emerge. Let’s say we pick up a hitchhiker (let's call him Tom) and give him a ride, for which he sends us Karma in gratitude. A few months later, Tom finds a lost kitten and, based on the tag on its collar, returns it to its owner, Alice, who gives Tom Karma as a thank-you. At her workplace, Alice helps her colleague John solve a problem, and John, in turn, gives her Karma in appreciation. Years later, we get a flat tire and don’t have a jack. Fortunately, another driver stops to help us—it's John. We send him Karma in gratitude, and the circle is complete. Imagine seeing in the app how the help we gave Tom years ago when we gave him a ride, eventually made its way back to us. This is where the name 'Karma' comes from. The philosophy of Karma, in short, is: do good things, and good things will happen to you. The Karma system visualizes this process and simultaneously incentivizes users to do good for others. The philosophy of Karma, in short, is: do good things, and good things will happen to you. The Karma system visualizes this process and simultaneously incentivizes users to do good for others. Since Karma is not tied to the monetary system, it’s entirely up to us how much Karma we reward for a favor. As a general guideline, we might say that one hour of work is worth 100 Karma. However, if someone does us a big favor, we could give them 200 Karma for just 10 minutes of work, or if we feel it was a small favor, we could give only 50 Karma for an hour of work. It’s completely up to us how we value a fellow person’s favor. The basic requirement for the system to function is that each person can only have one profile, thus preventing Sybil attacks . If this condition is not met, anyone could create a new profile if their incoming and outgoing Karma balance is off, or use fake profiles to send Karma to themselves, misleading others. The perfect solution to this problem is WorldID , which provides a unique identifier linked to an iris, ensuring that each person can only have one WorldID. I’ve written a detailed article on how WorldID works. Sybil attacks WorldID https://hackernoon.com/a-brief-introduction-of-worldcoin-proof-of-unique-humanness-on-blockchain?embedable=true https://hackernoon.com/a-brief-introduction-of-worldcoin-proof-of-unique-humanness-on-blockchain?embedable=true Alongside WorldID, other elements of the World ecosystem provide an ideal foundation for Karma. WorldChain, World’s own Optimism-based L2 solution, is a perfect choice for running the system. On this chain, people with validated WorldIDs can execute transactions for free. The World App includes a built-in wallet necessary for ERC20 transactions, and the visual UI can be made accessible through a Mini App. So, is Karma money or not? One of the great lessons of the Bitcoin revolution, for me, is that money is whatever we consider it to be. If a group accepts something as money, then it is money. Money is nothing more than a social contract. In this sense, Karma can also function as money. Let’s look at an example of how Karma could replace money. If we want to get somewhere by car, we could call an Uber and pay the driver. However, we could also find someone who’s heading in the same direction and ask them to give us a ride in exchange for Karma. A whole 'favor-based Uber' service could be built on this idea. Similarly, a 'favor-based Airbnb' and other services are also conceivable. In small local communities, Karma could even fully replace money. Since all Karma transactions are permanently and publicly visible on each person’s profile, and everyone can only have one profile, Karma accounting becomes a very serious matter. We can think of it as a kind of credit system where the collateral is our unique profile and reputation. In some cases, this could even be a more substantial guarantee than a person’s wealth. Summary Although Karma can be derived from the monetary system, the goal has always been to create something better. Something that can’t be speculated on, accumulated, or increase social inequality. That’s what Karma is— a system that gamifies helping others and encourages people to do good for one another. If the concept proves even slightly workable and fulfills its promise, then it has been worth pursuing. Through Karma, perhaps the world can become a slightly better place...

Homelessness and food insecurity are pressing issues across the United States, with cities grappling to provide adequate resources and support for those in need. Recent statistics reveal that New York City, for instance, faces a homelessness crisis unseen since the Great Depression, with over 350,000 individuals lacking stable housing. The current systems that tackle these issues often falter, suffering from inefficient resource distribution and outdated methods. AskBobby, an AI-driven solution created by Andrew Siah, specifically aims to change how social services are used. Unveiling the Crisis: The Struggle of Homelessness and Food Insecurity Addressing homelessness and food insecurity involves navigating a complex situation of resource allocation and real-time data management.

For most of the past decade, the United States and China took turns laying claim to the title of cryptocurrency capital of the world. But then, regulators in the US began to rein in cryptocurrencies, sending a chill through the market. And around the same time, China within its borders, suddenly outlawing some of the biggest crypto mining operations overnight. taking more aggressive steps all but banned cryptocurrencies As a result, cryptocurrency projects and their related businesses have begun to spread out across the globe, looking for a place they can call home. And despite its reputation as a regulation-heavy market, Europe is looking like an early contender. In 2021 alone, European nations accounted for 25% of all cryptocurrency activity — . worth a total of €870 billion All of that action is fast making Europe the preferred destination for crypto projects. But the centers of all of the activity might not be where most people think. Here's a look at the three hottest crypto markets in Europe right now. Switzerland Long known as a center of the global banking industry, Switzerland spent much of 2021 looking for ways to make itself even more inviting to the crypto industry. That comes as no surprise when you consider the fact that Ethereum was born there. Because of that, Switzerland has grown a for longer than almost anywhere else in Europe. Even its largest insurer, , got in on the act and started accepting crypto for payments in 2021. reputation as a crypto hub AXA Moreso, the government is sending some strong signals that it intends to remain a crypto-friendly jurisdiction. In the past few years, and refined some of the most forward-thinking crypto regulations in the world. By doing so, it has that has kept crypto projects hopping from one country to the next. Add a variety of Swiss financial firms making moves to adopt and accept cryptocurrencies to the mix— and you have the perfect recipe to become one of Europe's crypto capitals. it has passed eliminated the kind of uncertainty Germany One of the big issues that cryptocurrency users face lies in figuring out their tax obligations as they transact in their favorite coins. In places like the US, figuring out one's taxes concerning crypto has been — which doesn't sound too pleasant. And according to , Norwegians chronically underreport their crypto earnings, leading to its tax agency issuing repeated warnings of a crackdown to come. likened to a minefield NA Kryptovaluta But in Germany, the tax implications of crypto seem all but figured out. And that's because for most people — there aren't any. For Germans, cryptocurrencies held for over a year , as are the proceeds of any sale that doesn't exceed €600. As a result, Germany's risen to a position of prominence in the European crypto scene. And on top of that, a recently-passed law is set to pump in investments into German crypto projects in the years to come. That makes Germany one of the best places to own or develop crypto in the world, and it's primed to remain a rising crypto hub for the foreseeable future. are tax-exempt up to $415 billion Portugal Even though Germany has some of the most inviting crypto tax policies in Europe, it can't hold a candle to Portugal. It's becoming a magnet for crypto investors from around the world, thanks in part to having one of the most laissez-faire approaches to cryptocurrencies you'll find anywhere. And according to regional crypto industry analyst , Portugal is the most crypto-friendly place on the continent — with a 0% tax rate on crypto for individuals. Jean Galea But that's not all. Early in 2021, the Portuguese government for domestic crypto exchanges. That signaled its intention to make cryptocurrencies a permanent part of the economy there and to make it easier for citizens and visitors alike to transact in their favorite currencies. And the moves appear to be working. There's so much crypto talent pouring into Portugal that even American tech firms are there. began granting licenses setting up remote engineering teams The Bottom Line Judging by the inflows of crypto capital pouring into Europe, it seems obvious that we're seeing the beginnings of a mass relocation within the industry. And although the three nations mentioned here are getting plenty of attention right now, they're not the only places on the continent trying to attract a share of the industry and its business. In fact, Eastern European nations like Croatia, Ukraine, and Serbia are all making a play for a share of the market. The trouble is, geopolitical instability in the region is making it hard for those nations to gain traction. And there's also the matter of illicit activity — which there. presently dominates transactions But the takeaway here is that it's looking quite certain that Europe is accepting its role as the center of the crypto universe. And in doing so, it's helping the nascent industry continue to develop and grow. And that's good news for crypto users and investors within Europe's borders and beyond.

The Three Countries Helping Europe Lay Claim to the Crypto Crown

Businesses worldwide grapple with ways to become more agile, cost-efficient, and competitive. The rise of cloud migration is a welcome solution for helping companies achieve those ends. However, migrating old systems to new environments raises concerns about infrastructure compatibility, data security, cost management, and skill gaps. Solution Architect Ashish Komal has dealt with these issues for over 16 years. He’s helped clients transition to more high-performance, cloud-based systems. Along the way, he has gained valuable insights and developed effective strategies that have resolved some of the most difficult cloud migration projects. The Biggest Problems With Cloud Migration “Always be enthusiastic to learn and explore the new solution,” Ashish says. This upbeat attitude and open-mindedness are two traits he has relied on throughout his career. Those attributes are essential for tackling the monumental hurdles affecting cloud migration. In the early days of cloud adoption, some within the business community resisted this new technology. Although this advancement inspired hope by introducing a better way to achieve company goals, it also stirred up skepticism. Moving a whole IT infrastructure from an old environment to a new one raised many questions. Is it worth the time, effort, and cost? Will it improve the bottom line? Who can handle this massive overhaul? Ashish came face to face with the clients’ skepticism. He realized his most important job, aside from leading a cloud migration, was to build trust. “I overcame these challenges through meticulous planning, transparent communication with stakeholders, and ensuring my team was equipped with the necessary training and resources,” he explains. Another issue IT professionals like Ashish contend with is how fast technology advances. Although he has accrued much expertise over the past 16 years, he doesn't remain stagnant. “I committed myself to continuous learning and encouraged my team to do the same,” he reveals. He places a high value on staying on top of the latest innovations. As a result, Ashish has created a workplace culture where education and adaptability set the standard for excellence. The Real-World Impact of Cloud Computing Ashish's experience can be boiled down to one belief: The cloud is the future of enterprise IT. His accomplishments with past projects ignited that belief and inspired him to specialize in designing and implementing robust, scalable, and secure cloud solutions. “A pivotal moment in my journey occurred early in my career,” Ashishl reveals. He was part of a team that migrated a legacy system to a modern cloud-based infrastructure for a major healthcare client. The in-house IT team was accustomed to the traditional on-premises setup. Despite the obstacles, Ashishl's team completed the migration. The outcome for the client included significant performance improvements and cost savings. One of Ashish’s most career-changing events took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. The healthcare industry was under tremendous strain. A change was in order, but a mere technological upgrade was not enough. There was a heightened urgency for a new, secure digital platform. There was a need to manage the surge in patient data. Additionally, healthcare workers on the front lines required more support. As the Lead Solution Architect, Ashish fast-tracked the implementation of cloud-based infrastructure and AI capabilities without compromising quality or security. The platform's data analytics tools helped track infection rates, predict hot spots, and manage resources. The AI-driven insights enabled healthcare providers to make quicker, more informed treatment decisions for patients affected by the virus. Moreover, the cloud infrastructure made it easier for remote medical professionals to collaborate at a time when lockdowns were the norm and in-person consultations were limited. “This experience was a profound reminder of the impact that our work in it can have on society, especially in times of need,” Ashish reflects. He described that moment in his career as humbling and empowering. It reinforced his commitment to leveraging technology for the greater good.
