Bangkok (Thailand) – June 26, 2019 (travelindex.com) – Kaede Takenaka, 10 years old and CEO and co-founder of KIDLetCoin, is one of the youngest entrepreneurs in the ASEAN region and spoke about blockchain and cryptocurrencies at this year's Techsauce Global Summit.

On the fifth stage of Vertical Stage, the entrepreneur spoke on the second day of Southeast Asia's largest technology conference about educating young people about digital currencies and modern educational approaches. Takenaka participated in a panel discussion on "The Role of the Future Generation," one of the many highlights of the second day. Other topics included "Life in the Future" and "The Role of the Future Generation – What Will the World Look Like to You in 10 Years?"

The Techsauce Global Summit took place this year on June 19th and 20th at the Centara Grand, CentralWorld, Bangkok. Over 20,000 visitors attended the event, which featured more than 400 speakers and 1,900 startups.

Takenaka is still a student, attends school daily, and spends her weekends teaching children about blockchain and how to use its tokens. She was the youngest entrepreneur to take the stage at this year's event, alongside other young panelists.

Kaede Takenaka, CEO and co-founder of KIDLetCoin, spoke about the importance of digital currencies for the future: “Even as children, we learn to prepare for life. Digital currencies enable financial freedom for everyone, including children. Blockchain is a distributed ledger, similar to Lego bricks. The world is changing rapidly, and KIDLetCoin was developed to improve the education of young people.”

In a conversation about the origins of the idea for a cryptocurrency app for children and her sources of inspiration, Takenaka added: “It started when I was at a restaurant with my mother and her friends. They were talking about grown-up topics. They mentioned cryptocurrencies, and I wondered why I couldn't develop my own – and so I did! My mother is my inspiration. I want parents to understand their children and encourage them to pursue their passions and be proud of them. After all, that passion could one day become their profession.”

Oranuch Lerdsuwankij, co-founder and CEO, commented on this year's panel discussions for young entrepreneurs: "It is wonderful to see the immense talent of these young Asian entrepreneurs who clearly want to make a difference in the world and contribute positively to society. Given their young age, I am very impressed by their courage and business acumen. These young geniuses have inspired generations of technology experts, founders, mentors, and investors, and they are the future generation of technology experts."
