Start: 2025-11-24T17:30:00+11:00

Fresh from the **Australian Crypto Convention 2025**, Robbie Coleman joins us at Skill Studio to unpack the next frontier of digital value: **Virtual Private Money**.
As the Creative Director of the **Litecoin Foundation** and founder of **[[VPM.run](http://vpm.run/)]([https://www.vpm.run](https://www.vpm.run/))** — an independent initiative exploring privacy-preserving, interoperable payment layers — Robbie bridges technical design, narrative, and culture to show how money itself is being reimagined.
His 2024 talk on Virtual Private Money became one of AusCryptoCon’s most discussed sessions. This time, he’ll take us deeper into how privacy and usability can coexist on public blockchains — from **Litecoin’s MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB)** to the emerging **VPM** architecture designed to enable **permissionless, private, peer-to-peer value exchange** across networks.
\#\#\#\# You’ll Learn

* Why financial privacy is essential to an open digital economy
* How MWEB and VPM use cryptography to shield value without sacrificing auditability
* What “Virtual Private Money” means for wallets, payments, and user sovereignty
* How communities and developers can participate in the movement toward private, decentralised finance

\#\#\#\# Who It’s For
Developers, designers, and anyone curious about the future of payments, privacy, and blockchain usability.
