JAKARTA - In the Industry 4.0 era, technologies such as blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics play an important role in connecting industries efficiently. However, blockchain technology is still relatively new, so public education is still needed.

Oscar Darmawan, CEO of INDODAX, stressed the importance of an in-depth understanding of blockchain technology.

"Blockchain is a global step that needs to be studied thoroughly, although not everyone needs to invest in it," Oscar said in a written statement, Wednesday, June 5.

The Indonesian government, along with other countries such as China, is encouraging the use of digital currencies. The Garuda project, which aims to design digital rupiah without physical form, marks a major step in adapting digital currencies.

"However, challenges still exist because people think that all valuables must have a physical form. In fact, now we are in an era where many items are starting to turn into digital forms," said Oscar.

Bitcoin, as the eighth largest digital asset in the world by market cap, attracts many parties as safe haven assets. Price corrections are considered important to maintain market stability, and the involvement of leading management asset companies such as BlackRock adds confidence in Bitcoin.

"Bitcoin is often called digital gold because the price is determined by demand and supply. Bitcoin is considered a safe haven asset amidst global economic instability," said Oscar.

The Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency (CoFTRA) supports the adjustment of crypto asset regulations. Tirta Karma Senjaya, Head of the BAPPEBTI Development and Development Bureau, stated that this step is important to strengthen financial markets and ensure that people understand the risks and opportunities of crypto investments.

The INDODAX Goes to Campus event at the University of Indonesia featured various stakeholders, including Oscar Darmawan and Tirta Senjaya. They invite the public to continue learning in order to achieve a better understanding of the future of global finance.

Oscar Darmawan also added, "INDODAX Goes to Campus' program brings the crypto world closer to the younger generation."

"Through this activity, we provide knowledge about crypto investment and interact directly with students," he said.

He also explained about INDODAX Academy which provides free education through various INDODAX platforms such as websites, YouTubes and also social media.

Tirta Senjaya added, bringing INDODAX to campus is the right step.

"Students are an active segment in the digital world and have great potential to become the main actors in the crypto market in the future. We hope to strengthen students' financial understanding and skills as well as open up new insights into investment in the digital era," he explained.

In closing, Oscar Darmawan appealed to the public not to delay studying blockchain and crypto assets. He also emphasized that opening an account on INDODAX is free, so that anyone can learn about the shape and pattern of crypto transactions.
