**Graduation Speech by Amando Boncales of Althash University**
Good day to all the distinguished guests, faculty members, proud parents, and above all, our brilliant graduates.
Today, I stand before you not just as Amando Boncales, the CEO of Althash University, but as a fellow learner and explorer of the infinite realms of knowledge. My own journey began in 2010, and I've had the privilege of being on the frontlines of the blockchain revolution since then. Through our collective efforts at Althash University, since our inception in 2019, we have conferred over 8,070 nanodegrees and microcredentials. Each one is a testament to our commitment to ensure you are not only prepared but leading in our swiftly digitizing global landscape.
But, what does this rapidly changing world look like? We stand at the precipice of the Web3 era, heralding the fourth industrial revolution. This isn't just an upgrade of the internet; it is the promise of a more decentralized, secure, and personalized digital realm. As the very fabric of our digital lives evolves, so too must our skills and our perspectives. This is why our mission at Althash has always been clear – to spearhead Web3 education, and to create a workforce that doesn't just adapt, but innovates and thrives in this new paradigm.
The call of our time is multifaceted. It's about merging disciplines – blending the possibilities of blockchain with the marvels of AI, ML, and IoT. It's about decentralization, and grasping the transformative potential of DApps in our digital interactions. It's about empowerment, amplifying our individual prowess from employability to cutting-edge tech exploration. It's about societal growth, crafting an inclusive digital space, and revealing new economic horizons. And amidst all this, it's about ethics – ensuring we uphold the sanctity of data privacy and robust governance.
In closing, to all our graduates, remember that learning doesn't stop here. The importance of reskilling and upskilling cannot be overstated in our new digital reality. The world is evolving, and so must we. So, as you step out today with your well-earned degrees, remember to always stay curious, stay innovative, and most importantly, stay ahead.
