Understanding Bitcoin with C. Jason Maier
Are you baffled by crypto, bitcoin, digital currencies, etc.? Let the chair of The Hotchkiss School’s Mathematics and Computer Science Departments, Jason Maier, help! On October 29 at 2 pm Noble Horizons and the Scoville Library will host a program in which Maier will teach the basics of Bitcoin in a way that will allow you to explain it to someone else. Often described as “digital gold” Bitcoin is a powerful monetary network that is transforming society’s understanding of money. It is the world’s first example of digital scarcity and provides a way to transmit value across the world instantly with practically zero cost. Jason will also discuss the potential promise and peril of this maturing technology. The program is at Noble Horizons and will include time for Q&A.
