Bruce Porter Jr. on GlobalBoost and the Washington Elite AI Summit

0:00the CEO of global boost and the founder of the Washington elite blockchain summit Bruce thank you so much for being on the show today it's a pleasure to have you here hey thanks Ashton we're live you know I

0:20really a pleasure I know we've seen each other at a lot of different events and I you know I've seen you do a lot of amazing things so I'm glad to be here and glad to be on the show and glad to be working with the vencie I'm very excited to hear a little bit about the Washington elites summit blockchain event that's coming up if you would just give an overview of what is Washington

0:40elite to start sure so I a lot of you guys may know I've been in the space for a long time I started in blockchain about eight years ago I saw a way that I could get bitcoins by trading services for staffing services for bitcoins so way back when when Bitcoin was under a hundred bucks I was trading staffing services models and stuff at CES tradeshow and now they've been booth

1:03babes and go figure right five years ago I started my own blockchain global boost is still around we actually have our anniversary this month our five-year anniversary and about two years ago I started getting invited all over the place so the coin that we started has some original code and that is one of the things and of course have a big mouth so I was fairly you know large

1:22following on Twitter and other other mediums but I do like to talk and I do opine so I started getting invited around and for the last two years I've been on a tour and I've been to all of all bunch crazy places pretty much anywhere that asked me to come I came and about a year ago I decided let me start putting these events of my own together and use these contacts that I

1:46have and I used the brand Washington elite which is historically a brand that I've used for disabled sports I sponsor disabled sports league with blind blind people I also teach autistic kids how to ice skate play hockey but and so I played the Washington elite summit so one year ago this will be the anniversary edition our next one coming up but one year ago put this event

2:07together if the Washington elite AI and blockchain summit because artificial intelligence is so important and pushing this forward some people say what does it have to do with blockchain but actually people have been using artificial intelligence with the hashing algorithm yes script that we were the first to bring into blockchain and merge mining and deciding which

2:27block chains were the most profitable in mind and we're gonna be the most profit online for years so I saw the instant connection there since the AI and blockchain summit we did our first three summits here in Washington DC we did the DC convention center we took over the whole the hotels around here it really has been an amazing run to the last one where we filled out every seat and I

2:51you know everybody was happy and you know it takes a while you know to get everything in there and have everything working smoothly so one year later it's our fourth summit and we're doing it at the palace shown brewing palace in Vienna it's super excited that's very exciting person thank you for the background story there that's great so this new summit that's upcoming when is

3:12the date and it's in Vienna what are the attendees going to expect out of this event sure so each event has a theme so October 11th and 12 is our dates of the summit the first event was just watching leave a I blockchain summit the second edition was during the bear market I mean Bitcoin was like $3,000 and I so that was the bear market edition and the

3:37second one was the self sovereign identity is reasonably self sovereign identity this is because this is such an important topic for us in the crypto world people are running around you know by Nantz gets hacked they there's 60,000 people with their IDs sides of face you know with their kyc stuff and companies shouldn't be expected to do that they

4:00shouldn't have to take that and we shouldn't have to give it to them and so self sovereign identity SSI is something that solves that I think there's going to be a pivotal company or a few that end up handling that's why that was this one October 11th and 12th in Vienna is the smart city edition and we're gonna bring really all types of new technology smart city technologies smart

4:22device and then of course with my black blockchain background of course there's gonna be a whole bunch of blockchain and AI in there you know we have but a lot of that smart city stuff is being introduced on blockchain and even with trustless devices and everything like that a lot of the problems or issues that people are seeing that may happen with these smart devices just like

4:49Google or whatever sitting in my house you know listening to everything I unplug that thing all the time but we may be able to solve some of this stuff with blockchain so it's going to be new technology interesting people from all over the world all over Europe in the US and Asia but mostly Europe in the u.s. that's great I'm looking forward to it and can you tell us a little bit about

5:11who are the main sponsors for the event and what speakers the attendees may expect to hear from well absolutely so of course I always have my friend president bit the big debts gone president bit he's from Lee Berlin and he's the president Leary Lenny started his own country he's using a lot of block green stuff in order to do that in order to organize the votes and

5:35everything like that so president bid is coming he's gonna share his designs for smart city we also have Steven rust which is the new CEO of Bitcoin comm Roger here maybe we'll see I know Roger I've interviewed Roger a few times we'll see you but definitely Stefan rust will be there we have to–they saliba dr. Evan Singh is gonna come and he is actually also

6:01sponsoring the pitch competition with a $50,000 $50,000 sponsor to the winner so whoever wins the pitch competition gets $50,000 investment from his investment company which of course brings around some of the other sponsors like PAC coin which is a very good sponsor of ours and someone I work with and Bitcoin comm you same couple that's awesome Bruce thank

6:26you and you've had all these events in Washington successful events why choose Vienna now for the for the new event well there's a couple of reasons one of them was that when I was in Vienna a few months ago I was lucky enough to meet the royal family over there and the very amazing people and you know here in America we kind of we can get lost on the fact or

6:53just don't understand please don't know I mean we don't have oil you know what I mean and so it was an interesting situation for me to meet them and then to have them to want to do something special with me and with the company and so we signed we ended up signing an agreement on stage with the family and we lose our agreement it's all signed and

7:18set their genealogy and everything else and it's new charitable work worldwide using the blockchain and so we've done in conjuction with pact coin and the House of Habsburg we've done four events at least on the ground in Colombia Venezuela Africa and a blind hockey event in Las Vegas so they have this weekend for them is a important weekend they have some stuff going on and so

7:45we're able to there's gonna be a lot of important people in town and I'm going anyway and so I thought to myself the net you know it's a quarterly summit that we throw and I thought to myself know it why not it's our first international event I can bring a lot of people there a lot of important people and of course once I was able to square the palace – I

8:08figured that was just a no-brainer my first event in a palace I don't know if I'll throw another net in the palace maybe I will maybe I won't I don't know that's great purse and it's called Washington elite I've seen and but is it catered for people that are a lead or veterans in the cryptocurrency industry or is it also for beginners and people

8:26that are just looking to find out more and get involved well interesting right because every once in a while someone says I you know and probably the Washington elite name will probably end up using it for a lot of things just like I do with the disabled hockey in the skating school and this and that and we've had contracts you know here federal contracts for a long time but

8:50anyhow the point is that it is for everybody and one of the way that we make it for everybody is on the street so in the weeks leading up to the Vienna summit and in the weeks leading up to the last summit and the way we filled out all the seats so if we took our SMS by global boost SMS by and we were able to send people that you know with big we went out with the big the

9:14Bitcoin litecoin and little boost pack point mascots and we were able to send coins to people write to their phone and if they were willing to do that and they were interested in the summit we would say okay and you can now use these coins to get your ticket and we issue them their ticket right then and there so not only do you have upper echelons of

9:39society one sponsor I forgot to mention T was a mining store mining store common and JP Berra key he's coming out to but i anyway the thing about you have these pressure lines and the reason I brought him up hasn't been in longer than most of us and it was one of the original miners a Bitcoin so you have people like that are that are coming and then you have people that

10:04just the global lose coin that we sent him was the first coin ever had and so that's a very important thing so we're gonna have those people but you know Vienna is very upper crust as well so we have a strong campaign going and some people on the ground and of course we've got the bankers coming in and the lawyers and you know they're they're

10:24very smart people over there so it'll be both I was I was talking to someone yesterday and you know there might be a little more suits than we had like in Toronto at the Futurist conference but there will also be these movies so it'll be a good mix that's great everyone loves a good mix and I would love to know if you guys are offering any special offers for the ticketing for
