Join HODL in the HOLLER for a casual meetup with Michael J. Kelly, Ph.D

The world seems to be rushing to a Bitcoin Standard.
Governments, States, and Institutions are realizing that they must adapt. Education is coming to the forefront as a growing concern, not only for those currently in power, but for ensuring the next generation can compete. Education is now a primary concern. Come out and have a beer with a guy that was doing it before it was cool.

Dr. Kelly has led numerous research events related to the study of value and currency, at the American Numismatic Society and elsewhere, and is currently developing America’s first comprehensive Bitcoin education program at Binghamton University in partnership with Foundry Digital. Michael is a developer in Bitcoin. In his courses students experiment with how Bitcoin could revolutionize the Digital Humanities, decentralize the writing of History, and elicit unprecedented modes of sovereign consensus.

‍
Dr. Kelly’s research operates at the intersection of history, religion and theology, and the emergent interdisciplinary field of Bitcoin Studies. At the core of his work is the examination of how humans connect the abstract to the real and how/why we assign meaning and value both to the products of that union and the processes by which it is achieved. A current research project of his is the examination of the first dual fungible/non-fungible minted currencies and how that informs our understanding of currency, value, and humanness.
