RE: Alt-News #9: TED talk about Blockchain / Altcoin gains since Jan 2017 / Blockchain.info now supports ETH

in #alt-news7 years ago

Thank you for these updates - I just wanted to notify of something regarding your comment on TEDx vs TED. As someone who gave a TEDx talk recently, I think it's important to note that the application/audition process is extremely rigorous . TEDx is a subsidiary of TED talks and maintains the same quality standards. Independent organizers essential file to franchise the TED model in their area, and each group of independent organizers is assigned with a regional TED speaker coach along with complete preparation and filtration process. Obviously the quality of the end products is dependent on the intention of the organizers which varies from place to place but one thing I can say for certain is, there is no way to simply send or submit a talk to TEDx subdomain and have them upload it. In order to get on the TED.TEDx , the only way is to have gone through the selection process and have prepared and presented a live sanctioned TEDx talk (and all talks are recorded live, not edited). The one I did in New York started with over 1000+ applicants who auditioned, and finished almost a year later with only 4 speakers finally given the green light to present. I was honored to be among them, and it took a lot of work.

Oh wow thanks for the great info on it, i didn't have too much knowledge about it but have seen some rather questionable talks in the past.

Congrats!

You got it! Keep up the good posts!

Great info! Followed

Wow, @benahrens, I had no idea the process was so rigorous for TEDx, although I'd imagine the vetting process is much more intense in New York than in more remote locations. Please send the link to your talk, I'm a huge fan of TED, I watch a video whenever I'm struggling with motivation.

Thanks @acidyo for the article. You might be interested to note that DASH has set up a blockchain research lab at Arizona State University. I don't know much about their business practices, but I think this is a giant leap forward for cryptocurrency. Here's a link - http://fortune.com/2017/08/17/blockchain-asu/
