Join David Ripley, cofounder and CEO of Glidera Inc, as he explores how Bitcoin, blockchain, and the associated data impact banks, financial institutions, and the general economy.
Event Details
Bitcoin arrived in the mainstream media several years ago with news going in all directions. Since then, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and financial institutions have invested heavily in Bitcoin and its underlying technology, the Blockchain. The technology is now being applied to global payments, financial asset settlement, and many other financial and non-financial applications.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and similar open networks provide entirely transparent databases that allow anyone with an interest connection to view the full contents. These public databases yield potential data analysis opportunities never before possible.
Banks, financial institutions, and CIOs across industries realize the need to address this new innovation. Come join the discussion about the future of the Blockchain enabled economy.
