Economy to Ecosystem: Grasping Complexity and Understanding Relationships

Presented by New Systems Training and Blockchain Centre Melbourne

Blockchains and other distributed ledger technologies are able to design currencies and different ways of trading value, and its success comes down to governance design and how communities and societies manage protocols.

This presentation will explore how networks and communities who trade currencies and economies are often considered as disparate and separate objects but are interconnected with strong relationships. 

Anouk Pinchetti

Anouk has broad experience throughout the IT industry, having worked his way up through the ranks from desktop support to COO, through almost everything in between. A facilitator with a passion for sustainability and complex systems, Anouk has been fascinated with complex systems, and currency design in particular since the mid '90s.
