Flash talk by Greg Leonberger, FSA, EA, MAAA, at Marquette’s 2017 Investment Symposium
What is cryptocurrency? We examine how cryptocurrency is transacted, including how blockchains function, then dive into Bitcoin’s uses, acquisition, mining, and circulation. As an investment, the last few years have shown impressive (and frightening) growth, but we caution investors to be aware of the volatility within Bitcoin and look back at tulips for some insight. There are many challenges and unknowns cryptocurrencies face, and it is still early in the game to determine whether Bitcoin will (or can) become a conventional medium of exchange.
