About the Series: Two "crazy" concepts, but crazy how? What is money and why is cryptocurrency different, in paying for goods and services and as currency for the performance of commercial contracts? Should I (or my clients) enter the "crowd" in crowdfinance, and thus get in on start-ups that scale into unicorns? For investors, each of these concepts implies assets not correlated with returns from index funds that invest only in public securities. So there are opportunities to do better than "the markets." However, these concepts are also associated with actual examples of large-scale fraud or at least fear of fraud. Are crypto and crowdfinance investments crazy-beneficial (notwithstanding the presence of risk) or just crazy? This series seeks to give professionals, investors, users, and their advisors useful insight into relevant opportunities and risks.
About the Episode: What is money? How is cryptocurrency different? Is permitting or requiring crypto payment of contracts sound from a legal or accounting perspective? How will the underlying technology of blockchain bear upon future commercial practices? What are you or your client investing in when investing in cryptocurrency? What is an initial coin offering (or ICO), and what are the legal risks involved? Federal regulators have defined cryptocurrency as commodity in one context, and as a security in others. In this introduction to cryptocurrency, panelists active in the field will discuss cryptocurrency as payment mechanism and as investment, with peculiar risks and opportunities. We will discuss the history and adoption of cryptocurrency, as well as the underlying technology (including blockchain, but we will not make your eyes water), cybersecurity, and fraud.
