Designing Future Payments: Stablecoins vs Bitcoin

​The future of money is inextricably tied to the future of payments. 

​So will the future of payments be bitcoin? Or will it be stablecoins? 

​Two divergent futures present themselves. 

​How do each improve upon fiat payment rails? What are their relative trust assumptions? Fee considerations? User experience implications? 

​In this evening session, we will hear both sides of the story from industry experts. And then we’ll break up into small groups to weigh up both visions for the path ahead to see if and how design thinking can help us identify weaknesses, make improvements and ultimately decide which version of the future we should want to help bring to life.
