CryptoEcon is established to advance understanding of the economic forces behind Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a technology that implements a money with a transaction confirmation market. There are ample resources for evaluating the technology, yet market forces remain poorly understood.
The conference is a two day course in cryptoeconomics. Unique aspects of Bitcoin are evaluated in the context of rational economic theory, with principles derived from the axioms of human action and time preference. Attendees should be familiar with the operation of Bitcoin, but no knowledge of economics is expected.
Content is based on Cryptoeconomics by Eric Voskuil, and organized in a logical progression across four sections. Eric will present theory, with market experts intervening to provide context. A moderated panel will explore multiple perspectives at the end of each day.
CryptoEcon avoids supposition, price speculation, cheerleading, demonization, and product or project pitches. The objective is for attendees to learn how Bitcoin works, not to be comforted about its potential.
