Kevin Roose is an award-winning technology columnist for The New York Times and the best-selling author of three books, Futureproof, Young Money, and The Unlikely Disciple. His column, “The Shift”, examines the intersection of tech, business, culture, and the combined effect they have on society. Recently, that has meant a lot of coverage of companies like Facebook and YouTube, as well as profiles of internet personalities like PewDiePie, and social phenomena like online radicalization and workplace automation.
He is the host of Rabbit Hole, a New York Times-produced narrative audio series about what the internet is doing to us, and a regular guest on The Daily, as well as other leading TV and radio shows. He frequently writes and speaks on topics including automation and A.I., social media, disinformation and cybersecurity, and digital wellness. Before joining The Times, he was a writer at New York magazine, and a host and executive producer of “Real Future,” a documentary TV series about technology and innovation.
The Latecomers Guide to Crypto
Generously sponsored by Elliot Wolk, David Wolf, Art Solomon, and U.S. Bank Private Wealth Management.
Until fairly recently, if you lived anywhere other than San Francisco, it was possible to go days or weeks without hearing about cryptocurrency. Now, suddenly, it’s inescapable. Crypto is a lot of things — and for many, it’s intimidating. Kevin Roose, a technology columnist at the New York Times, is here to clarify things.
In this engagement, Roose discusses and answers all your crypto questions. What is an NFT? Is Bitcoin bad for the environment? Does our economy run on “vibes”? The questions are endless. Sharing perspectives from crypto’s biggest skeptics and its most prominent proponents, Kevin Roose is here to prove that crypto isn’t scary; it’s just terribly explained.
U.S. Bank Private Wealth Management representative, Jeff Zipper, will make a brief presentation on the real world investment strategy following the lecture at 6:00 p.m.. At the end of the presentation, Mr. Roose will continue with the
Questions & Answers session. A book signing will follow.
