MBN UK January Meeting 2018

30th January 2018 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

The MBN UK kicks off its calendar for 2018 with informal drinks to celebrate the New Year at Henry’s Cafe Bar at 80 Piccadilly, Mayfair, London W1J 8HX.

During the evening, we will be joined by our guest speaker Josh O’Neill, Assistant Editor, Wealthbriefing.com http://www.wealthbriefing.com/ who will update us on crypto-currencies.

Josh O’Neill is the Assistant Editor at ClearView Financial Media, the publisher of WealthBriefing, WealthBriefing Asia and Family Wealth Report. Before he joined ClearView in 2016, crypto-currencies had piqued Josh’s interest because of their role in the gambling industry, a sector he previously covered as a reporter, and the complex challenges they pose to anti-money laundering legislation.

Summary

Prior to last year, digital currencies were generally seen as a niche, thought to be used only by techies and surfers of the so-called Dark Web, an online underworld where users can exchange crypto-currencies for an array of illegal products and services.

This perception soon changed when the value of bitcoin, the first and most well-known crypto-currency, rocketed from under $1,000 to as high as $20,000 in less than 12 months. Last year also saw the launch of bitcoin futures contracts, landing the crypto-currency on large exchanges used daily by Wall Street traders.

Josh has been closely monitoring developments in the crypto world since before bitcoin took flight, and he has written extensively on the impact crypto-currencies and the underlying blockchain technology are having on financial services. He has interviewed prominent figures from the crypto sector, has an array of reliable legal contacts and keeps a keen eye on global regulatory developments that could generate ripples in the market.

On January 30, Josh will join us to give a talk on crypto-currencies and blockchain technology, providing a thorough overview of what has changed since bitcoin’s birth in 2009 and what we should perhaps expect going forward.

Members and guests are invited to join us for this informal evening.
