external pageSaifedean H. Ammouscall_made, Economist, Lebanese American University & Center for Capitalism and Society at Columbia University.
In his talk, Saifedean Ammous analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin — an autonomous and decentralized peer-to-peer payment software — its economic properties, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. In particular, he addresses the question whether Bitcoin, and its automated and perfectly predictable monetary policy, can provide a decentralized alternative to the central banking system. His book "The Bitcoin Standard" was recently published.
