Originating in January of 2009, the Bitcoin is a new kind of cash that is transferred as payment through a decentralized cash system. But what is the global impact and significance of this digital currency? Specifically, what economic and legal issues arise with the use of this digital currency? Join financial advisor and investment manager Joseph Alotta as he introduces the Bitcoin and explains the history surrounding its inception. Specifically, this CLE course will address the economic impact of the Bitcoin and its main features such as private keys and security. Mr. Alotta will also provide legal considerations in the wake of this new technology and the possible international effects.

Anyone registering for this? I'm very intrigued, but I'm also very busy at work, so 1 hour of my time on a Wednesday in the middle of the afternoon as well as $40 to find out if my $1,500 worth of bitcoin are legal doesn't seem worth it right now. My mining and trading operations are both in the red for now, so taking them $40 further in the whole (as I would consider this an expense) doesn't make sense yet. I'm gonna see if I have a lawyer friend who needs some CLE which I'm assuming stands for Continuing Legal Education? I have continuing ed requirements as an actuary, so I'm guessing this is lawyer continuing ed. Title: Re: Webinar: Digital Cash: What is Bitcoin and is it legal?
