Start Engine's Howard Marks kicked off the conference with a plea for regulation. Blockchain Beach does not believe that all tokens are Security Tokens, but regulated Security Tokens are coming and they will hold a lot of value:

The first panel was on the State of ICO Regulation:

Speaking of Utility Tokens, Civic founder Vinny Lingham wants to see true utility with a well thought Token Economic Model:

He also does not invest in ICOs that pay for ads (which is why he didn't think the Facebook/Google ad ban was all that relevant):

Next, Chia founder Ryan Singer expressed an interest in not going to jail:

Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne was supposed to give a morning keynote, but was unable to attend. However, other representative from tZERO spoke on other panels:

The next panel was about Airdrops, which should be a big topic in 2018 and 2019:

One interesting idea was keeping your tokens off trading exchanges if you want to stay a utility:

Everyone on the panel thought that Everipedia is the next big Airdrop (<a href="https://www.blockchainbeach.com/everipedia-token-delivery-june-airdrop-date/" target="_blank">coming to EOS token holders in June</a>):

The closing Keynote of the day came from investor, Lou Kerner. He's waiting for the Flippening to happen between Utility Tokens and Security Tokens:

How do you define "Crypto?"

Predictions, anyone?
