Announcing 'Wired Money': a one-day summit about disrupting finance
Wired has announced a one-day summit, Wired Money, that will focus on innovations, technologies and business models disrupting the financial sector.

Wired Money will explore all aspects of this industry, including personal finance, market trading, big data and finance, crowd funding, payments, the digital economy, innovations in money management, and security and privacy.

Confirmed speakers at the event include Grey Baker of Gocardless; Errol Dammelin, Founder & CEO of Wonga; Jacob de Geer of iZettle; Paul Hawtin, CEO & Founder of Derwent Capital Partners; John Lunn, Global Director of Paypal; Anne Pascual, Design Director of Ideo; Entrepreneur Kevin Slavin; and Peter Vessenes, CEO of Bitcoin.

"We're excited to launch this new one-day conference on the disruptive ways technology is transforming the worlds of finance and transactions," said David Rowan, Editor of Wired magazine. "Wired Money builds on the success of Wired's acclaimed two-day conferences each October, where we bring together expert international speakers and a high-quality crowd to explore the trends that are reshaping our world."

Hosted at Canary Wharf's soon-to-open Level39, home to Europe's largest accelerator space for finance and retail technology start-ups, the event will be a haven for disruptive thinking and innovation.

On the other hand, it will be a great way for him to start his bit of the talk: "I was introduced as the Bitcoin CEO, but that can't be, since Bitcoin isn't a corporation and is fully decentralised..." etc.

Seriously, how hard is it for a journalist to do even the smallest iota of research before writing an article about Bitcoin? Who the hell pays these people?

Well, they fixed the CEO of Bitcoin blunder. Now they need to go back and fix this blunder:

EXPIRED Bitcoin

At the height of its popularity, Bitcoin was trumpeted as a viable alternative currency for the internet age, a monetary system engineered to prevent theft, gaming, and criminalization. Then came the malware, the black market, the legal ambiguities and The Man. Today, you can't even use it to buy Facebook stock.
