"Ethereum, the law, contracts and personal freedom" - Presentation and Panel
Details
"Ethereum, the law, contracts and personal freedom" - Special presentation followed by a panel of thought leaders in the field.
Note: as usual please add stephan.tual on skype to be added to the channel for last minute announcements, etc.
Is Ethereum cyber-anarchy or cyber-tyranny? What social change, if any, will it engender? Will ethereum 'contracts' legal in your local jurisdiction? Does it matter? All these questions and many more will be debated tonight in the beautiful loft Auditorium at the Escalator.
