About this Event
Robbie Coleman joins us at Skill Studio to unpack the next frontier of digital value: Virtual Private Money. This event has been postponed until February to make sure Robbie can be in Canbera in person to deliver high impact presentation.
As the Creative Director of the Litecoin Foundation and founder of []() — an independent initiative exploring privacy-preserving, interoperable payment layers — Robbie bridges technical design, narrative, and culture to show how money itself is being reimagined.
His 2024 talk on Virtual Private Money became one of AusCryptoCon’s most discussed sessions. This time, he’ll take us deeper into how privacy and usability can coexist on public blockchains — from Litecoin’s MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB) to the emerging VPM architecture designed to enable permissionless, private, peer-to-peer value exchange across networks.
You’ll Learn
- Why financial privacy is essential to an open digital economy
- How MWEB and VPM use cryptography to shield value without sacrificing auditability
- What “Virtual Private Money” means for wallets, payments, and user sovereignty
- How communities and developers can participate in the movement toward private, decentralised finance
Who It’s For
Developers, designers, and anyone curious about the future of payments, privacy, and blockchain usability.
