Joseph Harrell on blockchain consulting at CageChain

0:01I'm Ashen Addison from event chain for investment pitch media and fintech News Network and today on blockchain interviews we have Joseph harell the co-founder of cage chain Joseph welcome to the show it's a pleasure to have you on today thank you for having me Ashton thank you you're very welcome I'd like to hear a little bit about cage chain and around the California Community

0:24could you please give us an overview of the project and uh tell us a little bit about the support that you guys have received so far awesome thank you so cage chain is uh for the most part a community at this point uh we started out as a opportunity to learn about blockchain technology fundamentals and to learn about uh cryptocurrency trading starting out and

0:50this has grown organically into uh what we have now as a community and during this growth and during this uh starting out phase we've we've built our our branding through Partnerships and um Services uh providing services to other blockchainbased businesses and using the

1:19blockchain platform to raise awareness uh regarding its trustless and to uh increase adopters and um we have turned out adopters and uh we we look forward to continuing our work in the space that's great Joseph and is KM right now actively marketing its

1:47services out to just the California Community or how far do your services extend to yes our services are at this point Global we have new syndication Partners internationally um geographically located in European Union for example uh in Asia we have we have uh Partners as well um and we we've

2:18entertained conversations from you know uh other parts of Asia and look forward to breaking into the Africa Market on the media side um were fit that's great and what would you say makes cage chain most different from the other competitors that are in the same space I think uh the leadership our our leadership uh is unlike any other firm

2:49out there we have uh it's it's a twers founding team and uh myself and Kamal Kamal hubard is the other co-founder of cage chain I have a background in finance and since leaving the traditional Finance world I chose to take my talents and expertise to the blockchain crypto

3:19industry and Kamal has a background in legal and he he is a lawyer by training and has been a tremendous help for me on on the legal side of things and then you know me with my um natural grit and natural hustle to to want to uh challenge the limits of the blockchain industry

3:47through business traditional business uh we we've been a force to be reckoned with but uh um yeah yeah did I did I answer your question yeah that's great and you know are you guys working with all different types of blockchains or is it really been clients that are using ethereum there's definitely a lot of other blockchain Alternatives coming out now that are starting to compete with

4:14ethereum right on the advisement side of things uh it's it's it's down to use cases it's down to it being a caseby casee situation uh some some projects operate better on different blockchains and um the the the Enterprise level of of blockchains out there right now I say I

4:45must say are art are forc to be reckoned with because they have the money to put in place the tools that even the retail or the the the start the smallest startup out there can find Value in so it's it's it's it used to be an arena where you can design your own your own protocol and you know it's the best thing that adds the greatest value for

5:14for a particular Community but uh the the qums and the the hyper lgers absolutely are forces to be reckoned with when um some of the smaller guys come up and say they have an idea all they have to do is flip a switch say yeah we do that too and you know it's it's it's big Bank take take little bank at that point so definitely I agree and it really does depend on the use case

5:40and the industry and different blockchains have different specific purposes as well so it's always good to study everything that's going on to know what best fits for your project now we originally met at an event that was in San Francisco a blockchain event you know near the beginning of 2018 and I know that cage chain and yourself are still involved deeply in the event space

6:06and you're hosting an event coming up blockchain for all in Oakland could you please give us a little bit of overview on what the event is all about and why should people attend yeah no I'm I'm happy to introduce blockchain for all to the event chain Community um I think during the beginning of this interview I was talking about how we've organically

6:32grown to a level where we need to be on an interview with the event chain and I can tell you when we first met going on more than a year ago uh there is no reason to be on an interview so uh our Network and our community has uh asked us to uh put on a Showcase of the util of blockchain blockchain utility and

7:05cryptocurrencies and um one of our ma most major Media Partners is a local radio radio station um rank number 10 by Arbitron uh in the Bay Area 10th rank B uh radio station in Bay Area to uh host an event that brings into the blockchain technology conversation those that have

7:35been left out in Silicon Valley uh there are a uh there is a a large demographic of of people that can afford to be in this environment that that have the resources to flourish in this environment and it's it's up to me or it's up to you know cage chain to uh let let you know some of the less fortunate

8:05people know that there is opportunity and this looks like hosting an event that allows any and everyone to attend and to basically bring the conversation of blockchain Technology mainstream we've gone to events where I met you and it's everyone's crypto everyone has traded crypto everyone has invested in crypto everyone gets gets

8:32the the gist of it all and we all build our our communities and build our networks to make them stronger with with like-minded people so we've taken it upon ourselves to put in the forfront there are people out there that that don't have the resources that we've had to grow to the levels that we've that we're at right now how can we uh bring them into the fold and it's an event and

8:59Dar hashgraph is one of our biggest sponsors um needless to say you know they they have they have they have corporations sponsoring their nodes Global globally so that's uh that's a conversation for another day but they they're forced to be reckoned with um the digital Reserve is a is a strong supporter of cage chain and in our continued success they're a
