5.00 – Beyond Bitcoin as Money

Bitcoin is a challenging innovation in currency. It’s a currency for the internet age – but we often hear that Bitcoin is so much more than just a digital currency. Just what are these mysterious superpowers that make it more than just money for the internet? What disruptive innovation can we expect more broadly across finance and economics, banking and business, governance, the law? What are the non-financial uses of this "blockchain technology" and how will it affect our lives and the world we live in? In this non-technical, non-political talk, Chris explains why Bitcoin represents a much more significant shift for the world economy and society than just a digital dollar and what each of us can do to take advantage of the potential about to be unleashed.

Chris Mountford, Software Engineer, Altassian
