"Everything is volatile, even the most lucrative tech stocks. So yes, Bitcoin has gone from $69,000 to $20,000, but that depends on perspective. If you take a five to ten year time frame, crypto is the best performing asset."
The first day of the Web Summit began with a discussion on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the future of technology. The discussion then branched out to more specialized topics, including industrialization, state-owned enterprises, and super apps.
