Eloisa Marchesoni talks blockchain & DEFI

1 min pitch for what you are doing now?

I am a crypto expert lobbying alternative finance solutions in institutional associations, while offering my accrued experience to selected projects that I decide to guide to success within the field of disruption.

Everyday, I also try to act as an influencer, speaking to a wide audience through the media. My insights on Google News are the go-to informative source to find out what is trending in the crypto space and what the readers should be doing right now. I serve the purpose of making sense of the global crypto news for crypto investors.

Myself and my fellow thought leaders in the crypto industry act as “white blood cells”, protecting the industry and keeping it safe.

How was the last year, what worked well, what didn’t move as quickly as you would have liked /  how have you adapted to the current corona times?

Anyone who bought crypto at the beginning of 2020 was sitting potentially on a 400% gain, an extraordinary return in a year when a health crisis has morphed into an economic one. Thanks to the government’s actions, owners of crypto like myself have had a very good pandemic.

On top of passive income deriving from crypto investments, the revenue has increased for me due to tight smart working schedule. It’s still not that safe to do a lot of things because of COVID, and if you enjoy working, you tend to scale it up. I’ll say, ‘Oh, I’ll do a bit more research, and maybe I’ll knock this email out.’ It can be very easy to slip in and out of work.

The convenience of having videoconferencing technology in mobile devices, available at any time and in any location, has created a really enjoyable work-like balance, which together with the infinite inspirational work stations I can choose while traveling around the world, is making me more productive.

What are your plans for the future?

I became a fixed income investor in crypto and my plans are to retire on that while using part of my capital to fund interesting high-profile projects that come up in conversations I lead in the various clubs I am a member of.

Of course, I know the high interest probability won’t be sustained forever in a single market, so I always have to work with my wealth manager on the correction and diversification of the investment portfolio, among various financial markets and, within every and each one of those included in my portfolio, among the various niches as well.

That may seem like an easy job, but it is rather challenging: one big mistake and I have to go back to work!

What will you be talking about at this event?

Innovation. Even as I write this, the total value locked in DeFi is nearly $9Bn USD, last week it had just gone over $7Bn. This meteoric growth is drawing a lot of attention, a lot of builders, a lot of amazing new products to come to life. On the flipside, the pace of the industry is a double-edged sword. High levels of competition and innovation can be very beneficial, but they also put strain on the infrastructure currently powering the industry – Ethereum.

What inspired you to attend it?

The Top 5 Reasons to Attend thi event for me are:

  • To network.

Events like this are valuable opportunities to meet people in my industry and find out what works and what doesn’t in my workflow and organization. I hope to be challenged to consider new ideas and theories.

  • To learn cutting edge industry knowledge.

Change in the tech industry is happening daily. New discoveries, industry policies, compliance issues and overall awareness will be enhanced by attending this event.

  • To get Inspired.

I am looking forward to listening to the various keynote speakers who will give me even more insight and inspiration to conquer the world, and in turn to inspire others with my words.

  • To meet potential partners and clients face to face (even if virtually).

This is my opportunity to grow my success!

How can people find out more about what you are working on?

Old money has always kept in the shadows, and new money largely follows the example, not wanting to attract any more attention than necessary. That means you should have my direct contact info to know more directly from me, unless you want to look me up on Facebook and message me there, but I do not guarantee you will get a reply from my personal assistant. It is easier I believe to just google my name and read about my projects and deeds.
