Jinse Finance reported that this week, the Swiss National Bank held a conference on encrypted assets and financial innovation. A thought-provoking keynote explores whether fiat currencies will be challenged. If so, will it be replaced by gold, bitcoin, some inflation pegged token or something else? The presentation was given by economist Lawrence H. White, a senior fellow at George Mason University and a senior scholar at the Cato Institute. During the speech, he revealed that he had crossed paths with Hal Finney and Nick Szabo, who some believe are Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
