Cash 3.0 Conference
About the Conference

The Evolution of Cash

From physical coins to digital wallets, from centralized banks to decentralized networks — money is evolving. Cash 3.0 is the next leap.

Cash 1.0

Physical Cash

Coins, banknotes, and physical bearer instruments. Peer-to-peer but limited by geography and physicality.

Cash 2.0

Custodial Digital Cash

Credit cards, digital wallets, and mobile payments. Convenient but controlled by intermediaries who can freeze, censor, or surveil.

Cash 3.0

Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash

Internet-native peer-to-peer electronic cash. Fast, cheap, and programmable. No intermediaries, no borders, no permission needed.

"

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work — but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.

" — Satoshi Nakamoto on why we need to evolve past custodial digital cash
