Science-fiction writer and tech journalist Bruce Sterling joins the LIFT Asia speaker roster. He will participate in the session about the Future of Money, a topic he dealt with few years ago in this Forbes article:
"Money has to be mobile, so as to move from hand to hand with ease. Money needs to be flexible: incarnating itself as coins, paper, bonds, stocks or zipping electronic impulses. Money needs psychological acceptance: The population must unblinkingly accept the fact that a plastic card or flimsy paper is of great value."
