“There was a big portion of the conference that was dedicated to BitcoinCT r:  10 which was fantastic to see and quite odd to me to experience in an e-commerce conference.
I’ve learned some interesting aspects of the Blockchain technology and Bitcoin that I wasn’t aware of before ECOM21.”

ECOM21 2015 ended on the 20th of November in Riga, Latvia. This is the 4th edition of the conference, organized by the Business Conference Group.

Saneback continued:

“I was thinking of investing in Bitcoin a couple of years ago when the trend was hot, but ended up not doing it due to instability at that point in time.”

Addressing the seven points in the development of e-commerce, Saneback added:

“There is no e-commerce, m-commerce, social commerce, in-store commerce, etc.: for consumers it’s all just commerce.
Consumers care not only about money, but also time and energy.
Mobile revolution has started but many online companies are still not mobile-friendly.
Mobile devices stand for over half of traffic to European e-commerce Sites.
Mobile web is growing 8x faster than desktop web did in the 1990s.
3x more smartphones activated every minute than there are babies being born.
Be where your customer is.”
