Description
Few technologies are as simultaneously disruptive and controversial as cryptocurrency. Attitudes among businesspeople range from viewing it as way to revolutionize the entire monetary system to seeing cryptocurrency as an inherently valueless asset destined for embarrassing collapse. The recent downfall of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried have fueled this debate further. Dr. Guido Hulsmann will provide his perspective on this topic as one of the world's top Austrian economists and experts on the history of money. Michelle Abbs will provide her perspective as one of the world's top women in NFTs.
