(taxes and fees included)Over the past few years blockchain and cryptocurrency have outgrown a core community of developers and early adopters and spread to the masses, including banks and businesses, spanning sports and politics. More recently the media, arts and cultural sphere have also taken on this new tech, participating in the rapid rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
In this keynote-conversation Michael Casey — Chief Content Officer at CoinDesk, author of “The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and Digital Money are Challenging the Global Economic Order” and Senior Advisor at the MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency Initiative — will be joined by Montréal’s Catalina Briceno, an expert in digital transformation, innovation, and diversification initiatives of the media sector, to zoom out on the recent hype and shed light on the potential impact of blockchain and other disruptive tech on culture, our markets, and our societies.
Activity in English language.
