Jonathan Galea presents his solutions on how we can revive the “Blockchain Island” vision
Malta, a small European island, is quickly becoming a blockchain hub, and thus, accurately nicknamed “Blockchain Island.” This panel discussion delves into blockchain developments, standards, and laws. Malta's progressive, global view of blockchain implications has allowed Blockchain Island to progress in a healthy, robust, safe way, complete with governance and legislation. The panel shares the infrastructure that has led to its success in the hope that others will implement a similar solution. With an end goal of international blockchain standards, a panelist sums up this discussion nicely: “We anticipated the need to regulate blockchain technologies, and that was while everyone else was focusing on the cryptocurrency aspect.” “The ISO standard is starting. So, the ISO standard is anticipating other jurisdictions, and it's starting to look into what it means to regulate blockchain technologies or standardize blockchain technologies.”

“The regulation is there as a filter to make sure that the investment opportunity presented by the issuer is real” - JP Fabri Malta has won hearts of many people in the Blockchain space. It’s not surprising seeing some of the largest players including Binance, OKEx, Decentralized ventures and many others incorporated there. It’s true, Malta is the Blockchain Island. Considering that blockchain technology is relatively new, there’s interest on both private and private sectors as the potential of distributed ledgers is very disruptive in many ways. In my recent conversations with government officials including Hellen Zille(Premier of the Western Cape), the issue of regulation always pops up and they mostly reference what’s happening in Malta. Enters….Jean Paul Fabri(JP Fabri for short). An economist and one of the most active experts behind the success in Malta. JP is the Managing Director of ARQ, a specialised advisory unit that forms part of ARQ Group. He is also the Lead Partner for ARQ Group on blockchain and cryptocurrencies helping global companies set-up their operations in Malta. He has consulted 9 governments of small island states on behalf of The Commonwealth Secretariat. He worked as an economist at the Central Bank of Malta, the private cabinet of the Prime Minister of Malta and in private advisory. JP is also a Visiting Assistant Lecturer at The University of Malta. In this episode, Grey Jabesi interviews JP Fabri and discussed: -How did Malta became interested in Blockchain -How Malta approached blockchain -Why regulate -How do they make sure regulation is not stifling innovation -Potential and opportunities of Blockchain technology in Africa -His views on ICOs and cryptocurrencies

As the unstoppable crypto tide rolls forward, we are seeing more and more governments attempt to make decisions as to how they are going to manage the blockchain beast. More oppressive or regressive nations are opting to outlaw cryptocurrency. Others are exploring it’s potential with a cautiously optimistic outlook. But at least one country is embracing blockchain to the extreme, going so far as to label itself the Blockchain Island. That country is Malta, and today you’ll meet Silvio Schembri, Malta’s Junior Minister for Financial Services, Digital Economy and Innovation. Rachel Wolfson had the opportunity to sit down with Silvio on a recent trip to the tiny island and you will be greatly encouraged as you discover what they are doing to welcome blockchain technology into their culture. It’s fascinating stuff, so let’s set sail for blockchain island in episode #158 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
