Bitcoin and other decentralised cryptocurrencies have taken a giant leap lately. From being speculative financial objects it has become a central part of big corporates’ financial strategies and may soon become integrated in everyday payments.

  • How will the general public and businesses adopt the new possibilities?
  • Can the digital currencies compete with the national currencies,
  • Are the National Banks prepared for competition?

 

BNCC and Advokatfirmaet Ræder have invited an exciting panel to analyse and discuss these essential questions.
