Bitcoin at SXSW 2015: Bitcoin 2.0 is a panel discussion about the continued evolution of the Bitcoin ecosystem and what improvements can be made to it.

Topics will include: What are key areas that can be improved within Bitcoin to enable greater functionality? How can sidechains accelerate the evolution of Bitcoin? What is an altcoin and what does it take to successfully launch one? Since Bitcoin is open-source, can't the unique features of these altcoins be wrapped into Bitcoin? How can a platform allowing exchange between different crypto and fiat currencies strengthen Bitcoin?
