Bitcoin: The future of money or decentralized Ponzi scheme?
In this session, we will apply information litearcy skills to the debate surrounding Bitcoin. Since its invention in 2009, some have heralded it as one of the greatest innovations in history. Others have derided it as no more than a scam to con people out of their savings. Both sides have their own experts and seemingly authoritative arguments.
