Julien Bouteloup - Opening Address + Welcome Speech

elephants [Music] yeah yeah [Laughter] [Applause] so something sort of magical happened to me in that uh obviously for the past 48 Hours everyone in cryptocurrency has been celebrating um the xrp decision but I really think that there's something incredible going on people always say that lavonier De La France cryptocurrency is the future of France and I really believed it because France was the only place that celebrated the xrp decision with fireworks everywhere no it's um it's been an amazing time to be here in um France I really enjoyed the city enjoyed everything how many of you are all awake watching the fireworks last night yeah I could tell I can tell you're a little bleary-eyed aren't you so thank you as the saying goes we're so early and indeed this morning we are so early so appreciate everyone who made it up uh for what's going to be a groundbreaking Summit um anyone who's followed traditional media knows that the stablecoin industry is likely a multi-trillion dollar industry in the making and yet the only coverage we get on like National media is a Ticker on the bottom of the screen that says the price of Bitcoin cash and Litecoin so everyone here that we've convened for this inaugural stable Summit is uh absolute Giga brain that is going to be redefining the actual future of Finance so we're very grateful to have um curve Finance has been uh convening this event and Gathering a bunch of absolute Giga brains we're going to be hearing from them all throughout this weekend and getting really into the nitty-gritty there's no real conference like this that goes into the technical and mathematical design of stable coins there's no real conference that discusses all the emerging D5 Primitives that are going to be shaping the future of the economy and there there's absolutely um just no one that is going to be able to provide such a nuanced discussion of the regulatory debates that are happening throughout all the capitals of the world across the entire planet because they know that this is the future and we're here making it so it's a very exciting time so a big shout out before we get started to of course all the sponsors and the media partners that are going to be making this happen um and uh if you see the party action people who are responsible for all Logistics give them a really really big hand because it's a fantastic venue they build themselves as web 3's nerdiest event agency so I'm starting to see why it is they asked me to host day one here um but uh without further Ado we'd like to start this off with um one of the biggest brains in all of defy and a man who needs absolutely no introduction now if you'd like an introduction all of the defy Primitives and like protocols we now take for granted as a result of his constant hustle he's built things uh built a huge reputation as an OG within the space but he's built out uh Services we like wrecked news staked out and even without him curved Finance might not even exist today so ladies and gentlemen our very first Speaker a big round of applause for is Julian butaloop hello guys um well welcome to uh stable Summit um I'm really uh glad and happy to welcome in this uh fantastic venue uh this venue named La casan is the European largest uh venue for sustainable luxury so please walk around and maybe you might see some very interesting thing that you can buy it's a very nice venue and it's perfect venue for the step of summit so wouldn't be here first for the uh for this uh from this venue but also from uh wouldn't be here without Michael the founder and CEO of curve Finance without uh and I think this product I was thinking about building and and organizing a stable Summit but for me it wasn't making sense only if I was able to get a curve which is for me one of the biggest project in defy and of course the founder of the particle which is here today and it will be I'm sure very happy to talk to some of you guys and discuss about technicality of the particle and what he actually see in the future of finance and now today with the stablecoin um so yeah so we have built over the weekend I mean we have put in place a bench of different panels we are trying to get all the biggest actors in a space of stablecoin uh over the weekend I think we have pretty much everyone except maybe uh Teeter that we're still working on but we have uh defy fully uh Fiat back uh uh stable coin we have uh algorithmic a stable coin and then CDP stablecoin type of style type of implementations so everyone is here like liquidy facts she Dao Circle conveys and all the different actors so it's a great opportunity I think for the first time to have a summit that only focus on stablecoin stablecoin today are the type of asset that is driving innovation in a blockchain space because without Bitcoin we cannot build anything so I think it's a great opportunity for us to always think about what we are building those different Protocols are they robust enough in order to tackle some of the different problems that we are trying to solve um of course as it was mentioned uh before so the the year ambassador of the stable coin Summit is of course a curve curve it's outside of the sponsorship because it's by himself a unique uh perk and so it's the ambassador of the year and financing and helping a little bit more on the organization of this type of coin we bought the stable coin from myself state capital because we believe it's the Bitcoin Summit stable Summit is a it's a huge opportunity for this space and we want it to grow even bigger in in the near future so it was organized by super great team and the people party you'll be like a Zack in the back and Pavel so if you see them we also have Marianne from from state capital and a bunch of other people doing live streaming and different things so this venue in this Summit is really about inclusivity and you can talk to anyone actually Founders you will see them today I'm sure they will be happy to also answer a bunch of questions that you have we have Platinum sponsor so raft tsunami and mental and also God sponsor liquite founder is also here polygon shidao and then we have a community a different Association Partners so D5 friends obviously future friends without D5 friends wouldn't be the same in the back let's block and then a bunch of Media Partners I'm a little bit biased but of course we also have wrecked news that will be walking around you don't know who are the people working correct but you might answer some of the questions without knowing about it um so I said so welcome everyone talk about the location this place uh talk about the sponsor the god sponsor and I think now it's time to welcome on stage and have a little message if you want to Michael founder and CEO of of curve if you want to give an address a little uh welcome message you're free not sure okay go with the panel okay guys so I think that's it we welcome our uh welcome to staple
