Independent (Ásgeir Thór Óskarsson)

Throughout my career, I have been committed to using technology to create meaningful social impact, most recently to advancing blockchain for a better world. I strongly advocate for blockchain innovation as a way to improve trust, transparency, and accountability in systems that serve the public good. As Managing Director of the BSV Association, I focus on supporting the responsible adoption of blockchain technology and the development of secure, open, and scalable digital ecosystems with real-world utility. My work centers on ensuring that blockchain delivers practical benefits for individuals, institutions, and society. My perspective is shaped by a background that spans financial services, education, and technology. During my career, I worked as a primary school teacher, an experience that reinforced the importance of accessibility, clear communication, and lifelong learning. These values continue to guide my approach, ensuring that innovation remains people-focused and socially beneficial.
