SUMMARY:Cryptocurrencies and Blockchains
DESCRIPTION:CO-SPONSORED BY: \n \n  \nThe conference exhibited recent research on cryptocurrencies and blockchains\, all the way from the technological challenges and game theoretic aspects to macro-monetary-financial as well as regulatory perspectives.  The conference featured academic researchers from economics and computer science\, investigating the role of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange\, examining the market structure of decentralized Bitcoin mining\, emphasizing the economic limits of the blockchain\, and surveying the algorithmic game theory research questions for cryptocurrencies and blockchains.  Finally\, the conference engaged investors\, academics and practitioners in fireside chats and conversations for a complementary perspective. Specifically\, University of Chicago’s Lars Peter Hansen conducted a discussion about the challenges of cryptocurrency to become a viable and important means of payment and the potential for blockchain to support socially productive activities. He was joined by the distinguished monetary economist\, Neil Wallace\, and an experienced designer of new financial markets\, Richard Sandor who recently published a book on electronic trading and blockchain. \nRead Professor Lars Peter Hansen’s reflection of the conference. \nClick here to view photos of the conference.
