WSI Panel event: The Future of Value - POSTPONED!! Event

Event details

For over thirty years, the Web has innovated novel forms of communication, shared experience and human interaction. Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in decentralised forms of public data transaction - blockchains - that have led to cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin), smart contracts supporting whole trading communities (Ethereum) and complex digital assets (NFTs). Are these developments trusted platforms to support valuable digital economies? Or are they just libertarian confidence tricks leading to ill-advised financial speculation in intangible crypto-assets? And most importantly, where are these technological stepping stones leading - what is beyond the blockchain in the future of value?
