Cryptocurrency debate: Cryptocurrency can be an effective medium of exchange in modern society.
Channel: Pirate Party Australia
Date: 23/06/2021

Join us for the collaboration of two powerhouses of digital privacy and economic transformation: PirateCoin $ARRR and Pirate Party Australia (PPAU) as we debate cryptocurrency: what are the applications implications, and legislations for a decentralised, privacy based currency?

Topic: Cryptocurrency can be an effective medium of exchange in modern society.
Format: Formal 3v3 debate with alternating speakers and strict 5 minute cutoff per speaker.
Judging criteria: a panel of judges will rate each speaker on 3 criteria: argumentation (persuasiveness/rebuttal), evidence, and presentation (performance, style, etc). The final team winner will be declared based on the cumulative scores.

Teams were drawn from the PPAU and $ARRR communities in the leadup to the debate, and will be comprised of a mixture of both communities rather than PPAU vs $ARRR.
