Electronic currencies in the modern economy - passing mania or harbringer of revolution?
- Where: Montmartre Gallery
- When: February 19, 2014, 18:00 – 20:00
According to the founder of the original Swedish Pirate Party, Rickard Falkvinge, “bitcoin is going to do to banks what email did to the postal system.” How realistic is that prediction and what can be expected of a phenomenon that is slowly ceasing to be a game among the hacker community and becoming a phenomenon covered daily in the media?
A broad range of guests, from the bitcoin community and from modern banks, will discuss just this in a debate hosted by Vít Macháček.
The entire event is being organised by the Behavioural Economics Society, an association of students predominantly from Prague’s University of Economics. Special thanks belong also to Business IT Club.
The invitation was accepted by:
Jaroslav Brychta, X-Trade Brokers, who will explain the advantages of electronic currencies, Luboš Mokráš, macroeconomical analyst from Česká spořitelna, who will explain the disadvantages. Prof. Ing. Zbyněk Revenda, CSc. from Fakulta financí a účetnictví VŠE, will bring academical background to the debate and Vít Kalvoda will present the phenomena of "local currencies"
