Mallorca, one of the famous islands in the Mediterranean, is home to Gate2Chain COO Joe Holles de Peyer. It was also the venue for the first Blockchain, Tourism and the Future of the Internet conference, an event that brings together key players in the BSV ecosystem, blockchain and IPv6 worlds, including Dr. Craig Wright and Latif Ladid.
There is no doubt that de Peyer is promoting blockchain for real-world use cases, which was prevalent at the Mallorca event, as Gate2Chain’s founder and COO wants to educate the local tourism industry on how blockchain can solve problems and improve business processes.
In an interview with CoinGeek Backstage reporter Becky Liggero on the sidelines of the event, de Peyer explained the purpose of the Blockchain, Tourism and the Future of the Internet Conference – to introduce Bitcoin to Mallorca and its tourism industry.
“There is a huge tourism industry based in Mallorca, but which has tentacles all over the world, and they always need innovation. Tourism is an industry that works with very small margins, [and] very large volume, especially on this island. And that’s how much Bitcoin can do for the industry,” de Peyer pointed out.
Giving an overview of what happened during the Gate2Chain-organized event, de Peyer noted that one of the biggest gains was the plan to set up an IPv6 Balearic Council with the Balearic government and university.
“We started day one with the conference itself, which lasted the entire morning. We had about two parts…The first hour and a half was more of a holistic introduction to blockchain in the context of the history of the Internet…[Then] we had more simple, down-to-earth examples of clear things that blockchain is doing today that can impact the tourism industry,” said de Peyer.
Before ending the interview, the two talked about Gate2Chain’s partnership with IBM to build a digital twin platform that would help developers develop using Bitcoin SV easily and quickly. They also briefly touched on Gate2Chain’s partnership with nChain.
“We’re building a digital twin application, which is a web-based application designed to plug into companies, basically, ERPs, CRMs to generate digital twins,” de Peyer revealed. “It’s important for us to have a partner like IBM because we have a lot of corporate or institutional things on the table, and having such a partner is very important, as is the partnership with nChain.”
“Working with nChain has enabled us to ensure that everything we do is completely secure [and] scalable,” he added.
De Peyer also invites everyone to the upcoming London Blockchain conference that will take place in May, saying it will be “massive” with tons of special announcements.
