Details
Save the Date to join, as industry and central bank experts gather to discuss if blockchain/token technologies will upend everything we know about money and banking, trade, the global payments system, regulation, security, and privacy— and how crypto fits in.
A panel of experts, will go through today’s tokenized world (crypto currency, Bitcoin, stablecoins, central bank digital currencies, legal tender, anonymity, and investment markets) and debate key issues: Are these all money? A legal contracts-documentation system? A surveillance system? A way of tracking both goods and payments in the global supply chain? A speculative store of value competing with gold, art, and jewels?
Session topics:
• Digital Money: What is it? Who controls it? Do we need it?
• What is Defi? Why does it matter?
• Crypto as an Investment: A new asset class? A speculative asset like gems and gold? The next big bubble?
• Productivity in the age of Crypto, “everywhere but the productivity numbers”
