There are a dizzying array of crypto currencies – 12,000 and growing exponentially, at last look. How do you know what to make of the sizzle, pop and frequent crash of crypto?
Join Chesapeake Forum instructor Claudia Dziobek, Ph.D for Do Crypto Currencies Have a Future? to learn how crypto currencies work and how they may affect global financial stability. She will review crypto currencies through the lens of financial market participants: major investment banks, pension funds, hedge funds, central banks and international financial organizations (IMF, BIS). What does academic research say?
The class will also look at what efforts are underway to regulate crypto currencies. How is digital money different from crypto currencies? What is central bank digital currency (CBDC)? How are peer-to-peer payment apps such as PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and others related to crypto? Does the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) guarantee crypto assets? Could volatile crypto currencies destabilize the financial system?
After all that, crypto won’t be cryptic any more! Do Crypto Currencies Have a Future? is a two (2) session course, Wednesday, Nov. 2 and 9th from 1-2:30 PM, in person at the Peachblossom YMCA, Easton. $25.
