The discussion on Bitcoins and digital currencies, including
security and privacy issues, is quickly gaining ground. But what are
digital currencies, and how do they work? What is the value of this
‘digital money’ and the economic impact? Most importantly, how
secure and private are these transactions, and what is the role of
cryptography in them?
DiploFoundation, in cooperation with the Swiss Bitcoin Association,
is organising a not-to-be-missed discussion on some of the most
pressing issues related to digital currencies. A Bitcoin ATM machine
will be on display (you can also
buy some bitcoins or
bitcents on the spot). The discussion will take place on Friday,
13th June, at 12:30 p.m CET (10:30 a.m. UTC/GMT), at WMO, 7bis,
Avenue de la Paix, Geneva, 2nd floor.
Special guests: Mathieu Buffenoir and Alexis Roussel (Swiss Bitcoin
Association), Chiara von Gulten (Z/Yen) and William Taborda
(UNCTAD). You can find more information and the registration form
