What are Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, and why are they better than regular currencies? How can an individual get started in buying and selling this new type of money? At this event, we will provide an overview of why people use cryptocurrencies and what happens during a cryptocurrency transaction. We will also do a walk-through of how interested individuals can start making investments.

After the presentation, we will do a short bike ride along the Eastbank Esplanade.
