When it comes to Bitcoin, Tim Swanson is known to many as the man who sees the glass half empty. Whether or not that's true, it's fair to say that Tim has critical opinions about Bitcoin and questions many of the assumptions held by those who wish to see it succeed. A researcher and educator, he is the author of several books including "Great Wall of Numbers: Business Opportunities and Challenges in China" and "Great Chain of Numbers: A Guide to Smart Contracts, Smart Property and Trustless Asset Management". He also blogs about Bitcoin, economics and various other topics at OfNumbers.com. He currently serves as an advisor to Hyperledger and is Head of Business Development at Melotic.
