Economics of Engagement
Speaker | Chris Henry
Central banks across the world are rapidly coming to terms with the evolution of money towards a digital form, and how that impacts the economy at large. Could a digital currency like Bitcoin threaten the very need for sovereign currency, crippling the central bank’s ability to stabilize the economy? Is the death of cash an inevitable fact that requires the central bank to intervene, or, is it a desirable goal we should actively pursue? How will the answers to these key questions shape the future of our economy?
As a former central banker, Mr. Henry shares his insider perspective on the ways in which new digital technologies present both challenges and opportunities. In this session, he will review concrete examples of how central banks and other regulatory bodies are responding, and how this ultimately impacts local financial institutions. Looking forward, he will posit scenarios for the future of money and raise key implications for local financial institutions.
FinTech, Local FIs, & the Probable Problems & Opportunities of the Digital Asset Era

Closing Context
Speaker | Jon Ungerland
So, now what do you do?
Jon Ungerland
Jon is an avid technologist and business phenomenologist ... AKA, a nerdy philosopher who likes working in and helping businesses - specifically financial institutions and non-profits.
​
Ungerland has been immersed in fintech, banking data and the business of deposits, loans, and digital transactions for nearly 20 years. Since 2011, Ungerland has been endlessly engaged in development and dialogue around alternative currencies, secure digital transaction technology, autonomous payments tech and networks, and cryptocurrency. His passion is to ensure community institutions and economies are prepared for the morphing of money; and that the digital evolution of assets and currency develops into democratic enrichment of local economies (rather than the demise of decentralized access to financial products and services).
​
Jon has degrees from various fancy schools and such; but he doesn't like to talk about "The Ivory Tower." Mr. Ungerland prefers to focus on practical solutions to immanent realities impacting local communities; and he values institutions essential to democratic capitalism and the liberty which stems from free commerce and private property.
Chris Henry
As a former central banker, mathematician and economist, Henry shares his insider perspective on the ways in which new digital technologies present both challenges and opportunities.
​
Henry has been in peer-reviewed publications ranging from topics in computer science to survey statistics, economics, digital currencies and more.
​
Chris helped pioneer a cutting edge digital currency / Bitcoin survey with the Bank of Canada, in addition to leading a major survey project aimed at analyzing the future of cash vis-a-vis digital payments. His work continues to be driven by a curiosity of how and why people use digital currency, and how new forms of payment will revolutionize the economy, and has led to speaking engagements in academic, central banking and industry settings.
​
Chris holds an MA in Economics and an MSc in Pure Mathematics. He is actively involved in local government, serving as the Town of Belmont’s Recording Secretary for the Select Board, Warrant Committee, Municipal Light Board and Light Board Advisory Committee, and Financial Task Force.
