Blockchain Beach continued our coverage of the Ethereal Summit at the Knockdown Center in Brooklyn, New York. You can see our coverage from Day 1 here, follow our entire set of live tweets, or read below for the Day 2 highlights, which included a keynote from Consensys Founder Joe Lubin and an exciting live (digital) art auction:
The day began with a keynote from Sheila Warren, of the World Economic Fund's Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
