Thursday, Sept 22 at noon SoMD AFCEA Chapter hosts "End Game- How US Wins" online program with Dr. Jim Kyung-Soo Liew. The United States Dollar ($USD) has been at the global economy's center for years, but emerging blockchain technologies and digital currencies are applying pressure to its dominance. As a result, the traditional system of payments and exchange is being reorganized in a way that will challenge the dollar's incumbent authority. Dr. Liew will join AFCEA SoMD Chapter to explore the changing landscape of the world economy and future implications of digital currencies. Dr. Liew believes that with proper planning and a culture of embracing change, the U.S. can find a way to win.
