They make great airplane reading.

Please do no circulate further. Here are some questions to get us thinking in advance of our session: 1. Will a -market-based' currency be "better" than one controlled by a central bank or by en elected government? In what ways? 2. How should traders / exporters / importers react to a "math based" or "private" currency? 3. How can new "math based" change the current financial system? Banks? 4. What will it take to drive adoption? What could governments do to control these advances and how effective can they be in doing so? S. What impact do these new payment systems have on our everyday lives? What socio-economic impact will these new tools and advances have around the world? Sameer.
