Digital money the end of Cash
Chapter: Nairobi
In this presentation, the Nairobi Chapter President for the Mormon Transhumanist Association, explores the societal shift from physical currency to digital financial systems. Silvester provides a comprehensive overview of electronic money, tracking its evolution from barter trade to decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and mobile money platforms common in Kenya, such as M-Pesa. Addressing the core thesis through a transhumanist lens, Silvester argues that while digital money creates convenience by simplifying transactions and increasing financial accessibility, it also necessitates advancements in AI-powered security, biometric verification, and decentralized verification systems (like blockchain) to overcome pervasive human elements of fraud and privacy concerns.
