Lunch & Learn - Blockchain & Cryptocurrency 101

Description

This Lunch & Learn will provide a basic understanding of cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ether, including their origin, growth, and use as a store of value and potentially a day-to-day currency.  The presentation also will discuss some of the controversies and legal issues surrounding the currencies.  Finally, the presentation will discuss blockchain technology, its use in the financial industry, and its potential implementation in other industries both here and abroad.

This Lunch & Learn is presented by Nicholas Mooney, an attorney at Spilman Thomas & Battle; and Dustin Davies, chief technology officer at Spilman Thomas & Battle.  

Mooney's primary area of practice is consumer financial services litigation in federal and state courts. He has devoted all of his time for the past 17 years to that practice area. In the past, he also has practiced energy law and general litigation.

Davies serves in dual roles as CTO and with Next Consulting, Spilman’s wholly owned subsidiary intended to help organizations identify and reach the next chapters in their evolution.
