Kevin Werbach

Bitcoin rose to an astonishing $11,000 value last week (and is now sitting around $17,000) - astonishing for a currency which had a $1 value just six years ago. The decentralized payment network has seen ups and downs before, leading some to ask whether it's a good investment. Host Dan Loney speaks with Kevin Werbach, Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics at the Wharton School, and Christian Catalini, Assistant Professor of Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, to discuss why Bitcoin has hit this high mark and what this means for investors on Knowledge@Wharton.

Let's Talk Bitcoin with Wharton's Kevin Werbach and MIT's Christian Catalini

Show notes: ide.mit.edu/news-events-media?type_1=podcastIn this podcast we discuss the economics of the blockchain and digital cryptocurrencies. Our guest is Christian Catalini, Assistant Professor of Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Strategic Management at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. We begin the conversation by discussing the MIT Digital Currencies Research Study, which enabled the study of the determinants of the diffusion of bitcoin and the role of early adopters. We then transition to a discussion about what is different about the blockchain from an economics perspective. Specific subtopics include credential verification, micro payments, and smart contracts. We also discuss anonymity, pseudo-anonymity, and z-cash. Lastly, we speculate about possible government uses of cryptocurrencies.
