Some people believe that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum could become the future of common currency, while others view them as a speculative bubble or even a global scam.<br><br>There are certainly some advantages to cryptocurrency as a potential common currency. For example, it is decentralized, meaning that it is not controlled by any single government or institution. This could make it more resistant to manipulation and inflation than traditional currencies. Cryptocurrency transactions are also generally faster and cheaper than traditional financial transactions, which could make it more accessible to people around the world.<br><br>On the other hand, there are also significant challenges and risks associated with cryptocurrency. The value of cryptocurrencies can be extremely volatile, making them a risky investment. Cryptocurrency transactions are also irreversible, meaning that if you send money to the wrong address or get scammed, you may not be able to recover your funds. Cryptocurrencies are also not widely accepted as payment by businesses and governments, which could limit their usefulness as a common currency.<br><br>Join us for the next ACS Think Tank discussion where we'll be asking the question: Are cryptocurrencies the future of currency or just another scam?<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Attendees are invited to pre-submit their questions on this topic or suggest future topics through the <u><strong><a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Ca_clr2qBUeByeo0Z7Wj34tnJscd4ZpNvuIxZHjERWxUM1k5VElFTE04VEUySzdBNEczVzlOSE1BQS4u" target="_blank">ACS Think Tank Question and Topic Submission Form</a></strong></u> with the top unique questions being asked directly to our panel and in-room/virtual attendees.</span></span><br><br><br><strong>IMPORTANT INFORMATION:</strong><br>Lobby opens at the below times with the presentation to begin 30 minutes later: <ul><li>5:30pm (AEDT) </li><li>5:00pm (ACDT)</li><li>4:30pm (AEST)</li><li>2:30pm (AWST)</li></ul> <br><br><u><strong><a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Ca_clr2qBUeByeo0Z7Wj34tnJscd4ZpNvuIxZHjERWxUM1k5VElFTE04VEUySzdBNEczVzlOSE1BQS4u" target="_blank">ACS Think Tank Question and Topic Submission Form</a></strong></u><br><br>
