Bitcoin – The Future of Money & Payments?

After dinner speech given on 18 June 2013 to members of the Real Time Club
at the National Liberal Club, Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2HE

  • What, exactly, is Bitcoin?
  • Who invented it and who controls it?
  • How is it created? 
  • Will Bitcoin replace State-sponsored currencies?
  • Is it a threat or an opportunity for governments?
  • Can a state adopt its own cryptocurrency?

In an age of e-commerce and electronic trading, where transactions are performed with a credit card, computer or a mobile device, could currency as we know it disappear altogether?
