On 14 November, Istanbul Blockchain Week started integrating blockchain and crypto. Cointelegraph also became a part of the event with its booth, where he experienced the fall of FTX and its influence on the BTC. However, the outcome was not what they expected.
Because of the bombing attack on the international hub, which accommodated more than 15 million people, Istanbul was in a challenging phase. The attack happened on the evening of 13 November in the heart of the city known as Taksim. However, just the other day, Istanbul Blockchain Week started, and around 2000 international guests became part of it. Around 100 speakers came to the show after discussing it with the local security bodies.
Moreover, the complete year saw a bear trend for the market, which caused the collapse of FTX. So emotional stress was also a part of the IBW. So these two concerns were the hotspot topics for the attendees throughout the event.
The event happened in the Hilton Bomonti hotel, which helped offer break zones during crowded networking functions. Meanwhile, guests were served refreshments such as coffee and tea to keep them fresh. The main stage was segmented into three parts, with the decoration of light kiosks located on nonfungible tokens. Beside the stage, there was a big NFT gallery. The opposite side was given for the IstanHack. This was booked for developers from other countries competing to create a Web3 project.
The event covered everything about cryptoverse, such as market makers, DeFi, etc. During the complete show, one thing which was the main center of attraction was the positive nature towards the building process. Even after two major setbacks, people were hopeful about the future and the changes. Clearly, the ecosystem was presenting the emotions of bear market creation.
