Digital Currencies Will Change the World 
COURSE FULL - TO GO ON WAITING LIST PLEASE E-MAIL US AT LEARNINGEXPERIENCES@BELL.NET

 By now most of us have heard of “Bitcoin”, the most well  known digital currency, and maybe a few of us have used it. But the impact of digital currencies (or “cryptocurrencies” as they known because of the encryption that enables them) goes way beyond the idea of a currency that is created without the involvement of governments. Digital currencies have the potential to create a new global financial system outside of the existing banking system. 

• Governments are worried about losing control of the money supply, a core government function.                                                                                                                  
• Banks are worried that this will end their monopoly & enable people of every socio-economic class anywhere to transact with each other without paying the banks to do so. 

On the other hand, some see the banks themselves as taking advantage of the technology to cut their costs & provide new services. Either way it will be a game changer for everyone, & soon. The benefit & risks are still emerging. 
Find out what these new currencies will mean to society & you.
