Miami Beach, FL – March 13, 2018 – Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of the Blockchain Research Institute, Don Tapscott, joined Faena Rose members for an insightful conversation on blockchain, the decentralized technology that underlies cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, moderated by the Knight Foundation’s VP of Communications, Andrew Sherry. As one of the world’s leading authorities on the impact of technology on business and society, Don discussed why blockchain is one of the most revolutionary developments of the digital age and how it’s creating the backbone of a new type of internet that will transform financial services, restructure corporations, recast the role of government, revamp our content industries, and solve important problems like the security of organizations and the privacy of individuals. Following the talk, Rose members continued the conversation with Don over cocktails and dinner. In addition to his work with the Blockchain Research Institute, Don has authored 16 books, including Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Underlying Bitcoin Is Changing Business, Money and the World, which has been hailed as “the book, literally, on how to survive and thrive in this next wave of technology-driven disruption” by Harvard Business School’s Clay Christensen.
