In November 1996, I was invited to speak in Paris at the Commission on Financial Services Meeting
for the International Chamber of Commerce. My subject matter was the
still-evolving concept of digital authentication for internet payments,
and the introductory guest presentation was given by Andrew Crockett,
General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements (B.I.S.).

"Free-market protagonists, such as Matonis, regard cybercash as better than traditional government-issued or -regulated money, because it is determined by market forces and thus nonpolitical in nature." --Robert Guttmann, Professor of Economics at Hofstra University, in Cybercash: The Coming Era of Electronic Money, 2002
"Matonis is quite correct that the new technology makes easier the use of multiple private currencies." --Mark Bernkopf, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in "Electronic Cash and Monetary Policy", 1996
"Matonis argues that what is about to happen in the world of money is nothing less than the birth of a new Knowledge Age industry: the development, issuance, and management of private currencies." --Seth Godin in Presenting Digital Cash, 1995
