How Next Generation Crypto Currencies will change the world

The crypto currency revolution started with bitcoin, but is quickly transforming into next generation digital currencies that seek to replace everyday money. Come and meet a team backed by Coinbase, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman (Founder of Y Combinator) and many other prominent crypto venture capitalists to learn about the technical challenges of building a currency that acts as a true medium of exchange. Nevin Freeman is the co-founder of Reserve, a 20-person price-stable cryptocurrency project based in the Bay Area, and will discuss the challenges and world altering implications of a crypto currency which displaces normal money.

Reserve.org are a team backed by Peter Theil, Coinbase, Sam Altman, Blocktower, Fenbushi, Digital Currency Group and many other respected funds and individuals in the technology space. The Company aims to create a digital currency which, through algorithmic stability, enables the millions of people living in countries which experience hyperinflation to have access to a stable store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, due to volatility, cryptocurrency is used as a speculative investment, but not a medium of exchange or a stable store of value, in the way we use the dollar without even thinking about it. The Reserve team have been featured on CNBC, written up by Forbes, and even Tweeted about by the likes of Ari Paul and other blockchain luminaries.
