[13:46] One interesting part on China is that you have broken down the major financial institutions in the Chinese government that everyone dabbling in bitcoin and blockchain must know, which are they and why they are important to the whole ecosystem? [16:01] Are there any major differences between Hong Kong and China when it comes to cryptocurrency? [17:41] Is Hong Kong following China with respect to regulation in blockchain and bitcoin given that it has also banned ICOs now? [19:41] Japan and Korea [20:34] How has the Japanese cryptocurrency market changed after the major theft of bitcoins from Mount Gox in 2014? [20:49] Can you briefly talk about the Japanese blockchain startup ecosystem and also the Japanese enterprises in blockchain? [22:55] Who are the key players from the startup spaces and major enterprises involved in cryptocurrency within Korea? [24:44] Korea is known for the kimchi premium: can you explain what that means in the context of cryptocurrency? [26:32] Singapore and Indonesia [28:27] Indonesia is the largest market in Southeast Asia, can you talk about how the government is viewing cryptocurrency (bitcoin + blockchain)? [28:29] Who are the key players from the startup spaces and major enterprises involved in cryptocurrency within Indonesia? [29:58] How is Singapore looking at regulation in the cryptocurrency market? [31:05] We notice a lot of major cryptocurrency players (Binance) are based in Singapore, what are its competitive strengths and weaknesses?
