(From the University of Findlay)

As more Americans are adding cryptocurrency to their wallets, these digital age dollars will be the theme of the November 21 “Fridays at Findlay” presentation at the University of Findlay.

Andrew Burchwell, executive director of the Ohio Blockchain Council, will give a presentation on “Cryptocurrency: Origins, Use, Security and Its Future,” followed by a question-and-answer session.

“The 21st century economy is predicated on the use of innovative tools like cryptocurrencies,” Burchwell noted, adding that he will explain how the cryptocurrency system works, how it is bought and sold, what a stable coin is, and much more.

People with no prior knowledge of cryptocurrency, those who are skeptical based on issues that have arisen in its early evolution, and those who already own digital assets will all find this presentation of interest.

The Ohio Blockchain Council, headquartered in Columbus, leads industry advocacy efforts for Bitcoin, digital asset mining, and blockchain technology.

Burchwell is an accomplished program manager with over a decade of experience advancing energy technology commercialization, infrastructure development, and public-private partnerships. He also has managed public-private partnerships across government and NGO partners including the Department of Energy, Department of Defense, World Bank, and others.

The event is open to the public and will take place in the Winebrenner Building, TLB Auditorium on the UF campus. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. for a breakfast buffet with the presentation from 7:50 to 9 a.m.

Sponsored by WesBanco, the Fridays at Findlay lecture series encourages continued educational opportunities for members of the community, the campus, and alumni.
