Filipino-American marks its way at the Largest NFT Conference in New York City
Manhattan, New York - July 18, 2024 - It wasn't Jaydee’s dream to come to New York, why? “I've always felt it's a bit overrated, but don’t get me wrong—I'm not just a city person. However, when opportunities come knocking, you open the door, right?” Despite his initial reservations about the Big Apple, Jaydee recently found himself at the heart of the city, participating in one of the largest NFT conferences, dubbed the "Super Bowl of NFTs."
Jaydee Rebadulla, a Venture Developer and Ecosystem Enabler, had the incredible opportunity to be part of a panel discussing the "Convergence of AI and NFT." The conference brought together a global congregation of thought leaders and innovators in the space, providing Jaydee with a platform to share his knowledge and insights.
During the conference, Jaydee shared the stage with notable industry leaders, including:
- Manana Samuseva: Founder of Babylon Voice, an AI Voice-Based Digital Identity and Voice Signatures platform, targeting the 1 billion unbanked worldwide via wallets, apps, payments, and games. Babylon Voice leverages Digital Intellectual Properties and Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
- Harmon Leon: A New York Times and Forbes-featured comedian who started the world's first AI vs. Human Comedy Roast Battle.
- Jessy Jeane: Founder of Art From Future DAO, creator of art under the name JessyFries, and co-founder of Gxrls Revolution—a web3 collective empowering women artists.
Jaydee's participation and contributions in the panel went beyond the discussion. He also shared to the audience on how to kickstart their cryptocurrency savings journey through the Crypto Savings Club (CSC) platform built by Bitshares Labs and Compumatrix. Jaydee emphasized the importance of proper diversification, allocation and having a solid strategy in the often-daunting crypto space, noting that without it, beginners are prone to making costly mistakes, like being a victim in frauds or scams (e.g. honeypots, rugpulls and etc.)
In CSC, users can earn yields with their staked stablecoins. The platform is designed not just for saving and staking but also for setting personalized financial goals and creating a roadmap for the future. Whether users are saving for a down payment on a house, planning for retirement, or simply looking to grow their wealth, CSC empowers them to take control of their financial destiny.
The conference in New York City turned out to be more than just an opportunity for Jaydee—it was a revelation of the potential that the city and the tech space hold. Through engaging discussions and connections, Jaydee witnessed firsthand the innovation and collaboration driving the industry forward. This experience has not only enriched his journey but also ignited a renewed passion for advancing the fields of AI, Blockchain & other emerging technology.
"The time when the world’s technological advancements were limited to specific hubs like Silicon Valley has passed. Today, talented individuals with the will to create social impact are spread across various regions, busy solving real-world problems," Jaydee said. His journey embodies this shift, demonstrating that innovation knows no geographical boundaries.
Jaydee is continually traveling and has visited multiple states and cities to foster relationships and connections with investors, accelerators, and enablers. These connections can later open opportunities for Filipinos and other neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, fostering a collaborative ecosystem. He is on a mission to destroy the stigma and social norms about Filipinos. We are more than just domestic workers or OFWs; Filipinos too can build and contribute to innovation. As Jaydee continues to lead and innovate, he remains committed to empowering communities and fostering a more inclusive and prosperous digital future.
