Title: UK Event *Special Panel* Bitcoin Debate Post by: BitcoinUKpodcast on May 04, 2014, 10:38:28 AM https://i.imgur.com/SFMLdi6.jpg
Free event - all welcome. Interested in learning more about Bitcoin? Join us for presentations and a panel discussion with a number of leading experts on the subject, including Brett Scott (Guardian journalist and author of The Heretics Guide to Global Finance: Hacking the Future of Money from Pluto Press). Bitcoin is one of the most potentially far reaching inventions of the digital age, but despite the media buzz, crypto currencies like Bitcoin are far from being viewed as real alternatives to fiat money. The recent collapse of the major Bitcoin exchange Mt Gox revealed just how much work was still needed to sure up the currency and its apparatuses before mainstream adoption would ever be achieved. So why are so many people excited about Bitcoin? This event will ask questions such as: How do crypto-currencies challenge mainstream financial systems? Is Bitcoin a safe alternative to fiat money? Is Bitcoin a currency or a commodity and which outlook is more favourable to its long-term survival? What conditions do we need to create to encourage the mass adoption of Bitcoin? Will the emergence of crypto-currencies force government-backed fiat currencies to innovate? Is 2014 the breakout year for Bitcoin? |
