WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT

Hi fellow anons,

Just got back from a business trip from Seoul.

Second time I’ve been here and damn does it manage to get cold, was a lot warmer during Korea’s Blockchain Week earlier this year for their summer.

Great place, nice food overall, plus the women here are something else (both literally and figuratively lol), those who’ve been here will know what I mean

Just thought I would share some interesting observations that I picked up from my time over there with you all:

> Scene is still very much alive and thriving. Just not as much retail or public interest. It has continued to catch the attention of many entrepreneurs, enterprise companies, and of course government officials

> Trading volume has died off a lot with the current markets. In terms of trading vs investing, hasn’t changed with the majority of people in Korea primarily sticking to traindg - they don’t participate in ICOS as they have KYC issues/can’t read English fluently. (Plus ICO market is pretty much dead right now)

> Ground X by Kakao (one of Korea’s biggest companies similar to being the Google for Korea) is making moves and incorporating offshore to raise funds for their project
