Join Us for Consensus: Distributed

These are unprecedented times. As leaders grapple with how to slow the global spread of COVID-19, the very fabric of our economic system is being put to the ultimate stress test.
On CBS's "60 Minutes" a few weeks ago, Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis said "there is an infinite amount of cash in the Federal Reserve. We will do whatever we need to do to make sure there's enough cash in the banking system."
Is there really unlimited cash? Can central banks continue to prop up the system? What does this mean for the future of money? For the geopolitical order? Will cryptocurrencies find their moment in the post-coronavirus era? Or will it be ruled by central bank digital currencies like China’s new digital yuan? And as confidence in institutions slides, how might decentralized governance solutions fill the void?
These are sweeping questions but each one has never been more pressing. Despite these difficult circumstances, we are undeterred in our ambition to explore them.
That’s why we are marshaling all resources available to us and our partners around the world to deliver Consensus: Distributed, May 11-15, 2020. There, in an online environment open to all, we will discuss topics including the bitcoin halving, central bank digital currencies, blockchain strategies, decentralized governance and so much more.
To help facilitate these conversations, we've partnered with Brella, a virtual event networking platform. You will be directed to the Brella app to register for the event. Once you do, you will be able to build out your profile so you can join many of the great AMAs, discussions and 1:1 networking opportunities. |
