How we trade with one another is integral to getting work done and building communities. Throughout history, markets and technology have spurred the innovation of how money changes hands. As times are changing, new exchange systems are popping up, including digital currency such as Bitcoin and community bartering systems built on social capital. On Wednesday August 24th, come join Mindshare LA and Project Butterfly to discuss the future of exchange with a panel of currency innovators.
