In doing so, they are creating age clocks by defining biomarkers for measuring biological age, exploring the best lifestyle habits and natural supplements, and inventing new drugs that could stop us from getting older.<\/p>\n<p>Longevity has been on the radar of crypto leaders for some time already, which is not a surprise given that the industry promises to improve humankind through innovation. Indeed, one prominent event in the longevity industry, the Longevity Investors Conference, is organized by Marc P. Bernegger and Tobias Reichmuth, who were previously involved with the Crypto Finance Group.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crypto_meets_longevity\"><\/span>Crypto meets longevity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the most recent iteration of the Longevity Investors Conference in September 2022, speakers taking part in the \u201cCrypto meets longevity\u201d panel noted that both industries \u2014 crypto and longevity \u2014 are disruptive fields that challenge established norms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody here in this room is, to a certain extent, a pioneer because we really come together in a phase where it\u2019s similar to the internet, Bitcoin and other exciting industries,\u201d said Bernegger, who is the founding partner at Maximon \u2014 an accelerator for longevity companies.<\/p>\n<p>Aubrey de Grey, an English author and biomedical gerontologist, highlighted that the mindset of crypto and longevity innovators is very much alike, with both being \u201ccompletely comfortable working in an area that is still very unorthodox and needs to be taken forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Recent:\u00a0Fractional NFTs and what they mean for investing in real-world assets<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ryan Pyle, founding partner at Maine Investments \u2014 a Zug-based company managing digital assets \u2014 said that the longevity industry reminds him of what crypto was like in 2013 and that while no one knows precisely where the industry will be in five to 10 years, the potential is very promising:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo, I see the ecosystem being very exciting, and I think what Maximon is trying to do at this longevity conference is really early stage \u2014 like probably two or three years, maybe, too early, which is great. That\u2019s where you want to be, right? You\u2019d rather be too early than too late. A lot of crypto people have invested in this space just because they\u2019re totally accepting of this level of risk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bernegger also shared that because the longevity industry is at such an early stage, it\u2019s currently a highly attractive period for investors to enter and that \u201csimilar to Bitcoin back then, it is less about the price but also about the underlying <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and potential.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_blockchain_can_apply_to_longevity\"><\/span>How blockchain can apply to longevity\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the application of blockchain technology itself, Bernegger is less optimistic, stating, \u201cI think it\u2019s difficult, then, to combine [blockchain] technology with another exciting field like longevity. [&#8230;] From my side, personally, I think the biggest synergy is less in combining two technologies and really more the money.\u201d On the potential in the investing and funding side of crypto, Bernegger added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI personally rather would focus on the funding side and less on the technology side, without neglecting that there are few exciting projects in the DeSci [decentralized <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>] space which definitely have huge potential. But I think it will take years to really see tangible products solving a real-world problem there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bernegger also mentioned the compliance aspects of both industries, stating that regulators might be a burden to research and adoption not only due to their role to protect end customers but \u201cto another extent also to protect the status quo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The longevity industry is still in a very nascent stage and has not seen many blockchain-related use cases yet. Nevertheless, knowing what kind of problems have already been solved with the help of blockchain technology allows some professionals to see potential applications.<\/p>\n<p>Claire Cui, a self-described longevity enthusiast and blockchain adviser, mentioned decentralized data as one potential use case: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat crypto has figured out is basically [the potential of] blockchain technology to cover some of the issues that people have today, like data privacy, data ownership. So, that\u2019s where people are very curious about. And in health, it\u2019s even more sensitive. Nobody wants to have his DNA in health records leaked somewhere because somebody hacks it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Data ownership also allows users to earn from sharing it with companies that use it for scientific research. Thus, regular users become part of the revenue chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Recent:\u00a0Maintaining decentralization: Are custody services a threat to DeFi protocols?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another application of blockchain in the longevity industry is decentralized autonomous organizations, or DAOs, and decentralized intellectual property. One existing example is a platform called VitaDAO, a DAO for community-governed and decentralized drug development that collectively funds and digitizes research in the form of nonfungible tokens representing IP. Christian Angermayer, founder of Apeiron Investment Group, said: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think one interesting part of blockchain technology could be that we sort of make sure that people can collaborate better but then also that literally everybody collaborates and gets a fair share in whatever comes out of it, both reputation-wise and, especially, also financially.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The longevity industry seems to be an exciting area in which the crypto community can explore investment and use cases, particularly because, by its nature, it is reminiscent of blockchain\u2019s early days. At the same time, many existing areas of blockchain adoption can be applied to the longevity industry to solve some of the problems it\u2019s facing.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
