Pat LaVecchia on How CT Can Seize the Opportunity to Lead the Way in Blockchain (Video)

Pat LaVecchia, Founder and CEO of Oasis Pro and Connecticut Blockchain Association Board Member, shares his expert insights into the significance of blockchain, and its potential to impact myriad, widespread industries in the state of Connecticut and beyond.

In this incisive interview, Mr. LaVecchia highlights blockchain’s fundamental impact: “What blockchain is, simply put, is a digital ledger. […] It’s an immutable record. That’s really powerful. Imagine everything we do, from the legislature, to contracts, to trade receivables, to securities transactions, to just purchases: if everything is on a public blockchain--eventually we’ll get there, I believe--there’s a record.” 

Mr. LaVecchia also describes how Connecticut has the opportunity to emerge as a leader in fintech, blockchain, and crypto.
