Blockchain National Seminar With @oracle-d At FEB Malikusalleh University, Lhokseumawe Aceh, Oct 20th 2018

Special Region Aceh Nanggroe Darussalam Province in Indonesia will be visited by @oracle-d team during their visit to Indonesia. This province is very important, since Steemit is very popular and even introduced to more Indonesian by Acehnese. This visit is not only to honor the Acehnese but also to invite Acehnese to be hand in hand with the world to grow, develop, and solve problems through blockchain technology with its appropriate application. Though Steemit is popular in Aceh, but actually the knowledge about blockchain technology itself is not that popular. We need to know more and deeper about blockchain technology to make sure we can have appropriate applications that benefitted for all today and tomorrow. That is the reason as well, @oracle-d will have national seminar at Malikusalleh Universtity, Lhokseumawe – Aceh, on Oct 20th 2018.

Since the first day I told @ayijufridar about @oracle-d plan to visit Aceh, he was really happy and excited. He said that this visit will be very important and we need to have kind of seminar or open lecture on campus. We had a few discussion before about how we need education about blockchain technology, we do not understand that much. We even discussed about blockchain events in Indonesia that mostly only talking about trading and cryptocurrency, not about the technology itself and how to use this technolgy. Then @ayijufridar talked to Faculty of Economics and Business Malikusalleh University (FEB Unimal) Dean, Mr. Wahyuddin Albra, and he also got very excited. He aggreed to have National Seminar with @oracle-d at Unimal, he understands very much that the knowledge about blockchain technology and its utilization in every field, especially in finance, are very important. Not only for his students and campus, but also for the society and Aceh. “Hopefully, there will be FEB Unimal students who develop startup companies based on blockchain technology,” He said.

I can see that FEB Unimal are having a strong will to encourage students to be advanced and ready for the future. As written on Malikusalleh University Academic Guidance Book 2017, this faculty has mission to generate competent graduates in their field, have integrity, creative, and innovative, as well as to develop science and technology. It is their vision to be the center of National Standard education and development of Economics and Business based on local wisdom in 2020. Since we have blockchain technology at the moment, I am sure all the missions and vision of this faculty can be achieved. It is just about how we understand and implement blockchain technology in appropriate applications to achieve this missions and vision. I am so glad that FEB Unimal willing to open about this blockchain technology and this is what supposed to be followed by a lot o other campus in Indonesia.
