Query:

Microsoft is planning on offering free digital skill-training,

million workers affected by COVID-19 looking to upskill for a
post-COVID world. They'll use LinkedIn data to source which job
types are most in demand, and then provide training for the top
10 in-demand jobs. I'm interested in hosting a video interview
to have a well-rounded discussion on this initiative, its
effectiveness, and what it has to say about how working people
adapt in today's economy. When faced with a global recession, is
Big Tech coming in to guide workers toward curated careers the
best way to tackle unemployment? What does Microsoft have to
gain from this initiative? What are the implications of
Microsoft launching this initiative? Do you think the training
and upskilling will be useful in practice to actually acquiring
a job in a post-COVID economy?

initiative, Microsoft and its philanthropic history/efforts. Not

in this industry, and whether this is a sound investment for
Uber, which has yet to turn a profit.

Requirements:

32) Summary: Looking for crypto experts operating within Singapore to share their insights regarding Project Ubin

Name: Shiraz jagati Cointelegraph

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b0q1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Cointelegraph

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 14 July

Query:

Hey HARO family,

I am a Cointelegraph journo currently working on a piece
regarding Singapore's latest blockchain payments platform -
Project Ubin. Was looking to get expert insights in regard to
the following Qs:

(i) Singapore authorities announced today that their blockchain
payments project -- Project Ubin -- is complete and ready for
commercial launch. Could you please comment on the impact that
this offering will have on the country's local crypto ecosystem?

(ii) In your opinion, what sort of financial, technological
potential does Project Ubin hold in terms of making crypto
mainstream within Asia?

(iii) Why do you think there has been a massive spurt in
blockchain adoption across Singapore. For example, latest data
suggests that over the past 12 months Singapore has seen a 50%
growth in the number of blockchain companies -- many of whom
are making use of crypto assets -- across the country. Could
there be a correlation between the government showing keenness
in exploring this space and more local, private players starting
to explore this domain?

(iv) Please feel free to add any more points that you may see
fit in relation to this subject -- i.e. what the future holds
for the Singaporean crypto economy, etc.

For your time, we will be more than happy to include your name,
company details etc in the piece. However, im not allowed to add
back links in the article.

Looking forward to hearing from y'all

Regards

Requirements:

Comments should only come from crypto experts operating within
Singapore and have a solid understanding of the country's crypto
ecosystem.
