Governor's Lecture Series - "Bitcoin in the Modern Portfolio – Understanding Digital Gold in a Changing World with Christopher Siedentopf."
Date: 26th November 2025
Join us for an enlightening evening at the beautiful State Apartments of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, exploring the evolving role of Bitcoin in today’s financial landscape.
From its origins as a revolutionary digital currency to its emerging status as "digital gold", this talk will unpack the fundamentals of Bitcoin, its place within the broader Web3 ecosystem, and why it is increasingly being considered a valuable asset in modern investment portfolios.
Christopher will cover key concepts such as decentralisation, blockchain, scarcity, and the shift from traditional to decentralised financial systems. The session will also explore Bitcoin’s potential as a hedge against inflation, its diversification benefits, and the growing interest from institutional investors.
