The Big Whale: Paris has just hosted Paris Blockchain Week and NFT Paris in the space of a month, which are two major Web3 events. What do you think of them?

Bilal El Alamy: It's an excellent thing. The two events are very different. NFT Paris is more geared towards individuals, whereas PBW has really become an event dedicated to businesses.
