This is a reminder that our July Financial Transaction Freedom briefing, "Scenario Planning: Programmable Money and the Automated Third Lock," will takes place on July 9 from 2:00-4:00 Eastern. We're pleased to announce that former Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich will be joining us for the discussion.
This month's briefing will take a different approach than our traditional presentations. Rather than simply hearing from speakers, participants will take part in an interactive working session to help evaluate a new scenario planning framework designed to identify and communicate the potential risks and opportunities associated with programmable money.
We'll begin with a brief overview of programmable money and the concept of the "third lock," including the difference between manual and automated transaction controls. From there, we'll introduce four possible future scenarios that explore different paths programmable money could take.
You can read more about the four scenarios we'll be discussing here:

A central question we'll explore is whether legislative guardrails should depend on assumptions about intent. Even if programmable money is developed with beneficial goals, should reasonable safeguards be established before it becomes part of our financial infrastructure? What protections would be prudent regardless of whether the ultimate outcome is positive or negative?
We'll also review current legislative proposals, including cash acceptance legislation, protections against programmable money, and the emerging concept of a Right to a Non-Digital Life, and invite participants to weigh in on their effectiveness and identify additional legislative ideas that should be considered.
Our goal is to develop a practical, balanced, and realistic framework that legislators and advocates can use to evaluate programmable money and communicate these issues effectively. We hope you'll join us for what promises to be our most interactive Financial Transaction Freedom briefing yet.
