Latif Ladid on CoinGeek TV: ‘Be part of the blockchain revolution and you will be a star in 5 years’

Blockchain technology will be widely used globally over the next decade, and today is the right time to dive in and be a part of the revolution. This is according to Latif Ladid, who in an interview with CoinGeek TV, talked about IPv6, its integration with blockchain technology, his relationship with Dr. Craig Wright, and more.

Ladid, president of the IPv6 Forum, joined CoinGeek TV host Patrick Thompson on the sidelines of the BSV Global Blockchain Convention in Dubai just after giving a keynote address on IPv6-based IoT and blockchain.

As he told Patrick, while IPv6 sounds like a new protocol, he and others have been promoting it for the past two decades.

“In the meantime, we have about 50% of the world using IPv6, but they do not even know it, and that’s the good thing about it. It is built into the infrastructure, he said.

IPv6 will restore the end-to-end model of the Internet, which Ladid believes is fundamental. In today’s market, we rely on private IP addresses, “which are not routable, so you can not do peer-to-peer or end-to-end applications.” This Internet Protocol will open up new possibilities in the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, 5G, smart cities, autonomous driving and more.

One of the improvements that IPv6 will provide is speed, with Ladid saying it will be up to 25% better “because you do not have boxes in between that translate the IP addresses. So it is straight from source to destination at once.”

Ladid has pushed for the integration of IPv6 with the BSV blockchain, and as he revealed, he believes that this Internet protocol is only viable when combined with a network that scales indefinitely and at minimal charges.

In his quest, he has worked with Dr. Wright, an innovator whom he said on stage, “he wished he had met before.” Ladid met the nChain chief researcher months ago, and the two have appeared at many events to discuss the merger of blockchain and IPv6.

The IPv6 gurus that I have in my team were surprised to see that this guy [Dr. Wright] know this subject very well, “he said.

For businesses concerned about whether they may need to upgrade their systems to support IPv6, Ladid dismissed such concerns, telling CoinGeek TV that the configuration will be automated. The burden will be on the telecom operators, and consumers will hardly notice any changes in the experience, apart from increased speed.

Ladid asked students, engineers and other interested parties to get as much knowledge as they could about IPv6, and said that it would pay off significantly in the future. IPv6-related jobs are on the rise, and he says that those with the right skills will be in demand.

“Be a part of the blockchain revolution, and you’ll be one of the superstars for the next five years. Blockchain will be widely used everywhere over the next ten years “, he concluded.
