Cryptocurrencies and Blockchains: Applications and Implications for Business & Society Webinar

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies are at the heart of much interest, debate, and speculation. Evangelists claim these technologies will usher in a new era of currency that breaks down barriers, increases accountability, and increases access. Skeptics warn that the price volatility, anonymity, and cyber security issues will relegate it to be used primarily as a venue for money laundering, drug trade, and weapons procurement.

Join our Expert Webinar to hear from crypto enthusiasts and thought leaders who will share insights on how these technologies are used, potential tangible benefits, and implications on our financial system and larger implications for society. We will discuss the trends, strategies, and challenges that underscore this dynamic, nascent, and evolving market.

• What tangible benefits do cryptocurrencies provide over traditional money like the US dollar? 
• What are the potential applications for blockchain beyond cryptocurrency?
• How to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) work and what benefit do they offer? 
• From a portfolio management point of view, what place might cryptocurrencies have in the investment landscape?
• When might mass adoption of cryptos take place?
• What are the concerns on ecological impact of cryptocurrencies, and are there solutions on the horizon?
