Hi there,



we will be presenting and discussing at



"Marx in the key of hope"

29 January 2016

at University of Bath

http://www.bath.ac.uk/sps/events/news_0114.html



In particular, we will share a panel with the Bristol Pound and Graham

Taylor. Our focus will be on criticising alternative money proposals by

using Bitcoin as an example. Here is our blurb:





Bitcoin is perhaps the most well-known attempt at an alternative money.

By looking at what Bitcoin does to realise this goal, we want to explain

what it means to attempt to create a money. Through this, we want to

show that alternative monies (on the Internet or not) are no tools for

positive social change. Instead, they rely on social relations which

mean poverty and domination.





Our contribution will be based on an older Kittens piece on Bitcoin:

Cheers,
