The Future of Money - 10 years after Lehman and Nakamoto
The “Future of Money” Conference is a jointly organized event by the NGO Monetative e.V., the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center and the International Movement for Monetary Reform. It's aim is to discuss the structure and the (mis-)functioning of the current monetary system and two monetary reform proposals that both aim to end the current debt-based monetary system: Sovereign money (Vollgeld) and Currrency Competition via Cryptocurrencies. The event will take place on November 24, 2018 on the campus of Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. The venue is located directly in Frankfurt am Main in Germany, one of the biggest financial centers in Europe.
Several keynotes will frame the whole conference and pave the way for the three pillars of the conference:
1) The structure, flaws and developments of the current money system
2) Sovereign Money (Vollgeld)
3) Currency Competition via Cryptocurrencies
In each of these three pillars, presentations about current research highlights, popular issues and the knowledge transfer between the three pillars are given. For more information visit: The conference Website
