Bitcoin has followed a volatile path to growing acceptance since its creati=
on in 2009 with its price fluctuating between USD $0.30 to $1135 in its sho=
rt existence. It is hailed by some for its virtual nature and costless tran=
sactions as the future of currency and a great investment, but decried by o=
thers as a pyramid scheme or speculative bubble. It has been frequently lin=
ked to illicit activity and some question whether it can even be classified=
 as a currency. But bitcoin is now accepted as payment by a growing number =
of mainstream merchants and has been increasingly legitimized by government=
s such as that of United States, which auctioned off 30,000 bitcoins in Jun=
e.

=C3=82=C2=BB Are virtual currencies like bitcoin going to revolutionize tra=
ditional banking and finance?=20
=C3=82=C2=BB Could the costless transactions and virtual nature of bitcoin =
benefit you and your company?=20
=C3=82=C2=BB Is it a safe investment for you personally?=20
=C3=82=C2=BB Or will bitcoin eventually reach its "real" value of zero as s=
ome economists claim?=20

Join us at IMD on 2 October 2014 for a lively debate on these issues betwee=
n bitcoin evangelist and investor Roger Ver and IMD Professor and finance e=
xpert Arturo Bris.

Roger Ver known as the "Bitcoin Jesus" made a fortune buying bitcoins and b=
ecame the earliest, and one of the most prolific bitcoin related start-up i=
nvestors. He spent 10 months in prison in the United States before renounci=
ng his American citizenship. He now lives in Tokyo and recently founded Pas=
sports for Bitcoin, a company which helps clients to buy citizenship of the=
 Caribbean island nation of St. Kitts using bitcoin. He is also the Founder=
 of Memorydealers.com=20

Arturo Bris is Professor of Finance at IMD and directs the IMD World Compet=
itiveness Center.=20
