About Joe’s Session:
New technologies and the algorithms that reside within them have become the governing bodies of the world. These systems shape the way millions, if not billions of people around the globe behave, think, and operate as a global society. This being said, the people creating these systems have become the modern government representatives to their user base of constituents. What we will talk about is the power that resides within these systems, why regulation is an important part of the future of this industry, how it will affect business, and where it may be headed in the future. This talk will help everyone understand the role they play and the responsibilities that come with it.
Edward Weniger
Founder of Alpha Bitcoin
About Edward’s Session: Why You Need Your Own Cryptocurrency
In the early 2000s, the concept of a “Personal Area Network” or PAN came to prominence as people envisioned a future heavily dependent upon IoT, Bluetooth, and mobile devices. Why would you need your own network? Someday in the future, we may all have our own coins, or maybe your business will have its own coin you use.
Join us as we discuss how cryptocurrency can open up new possibilities, cause local economies to flourish, and we rethink doing business in your town. The technical groundwork is being laid already – find out how this possibility could be made a reality.
