Show Notes
At first it was just Bitcoin. Now when someone refers to crypto, they might be talking about ethereum, NFTs, ICOs, smart contracts, DAOs, and a whole bunch of other technologies too numerous to mention.
Stacy-Marie Ishmael, managing editor for crypto at Bloomberg, joins the show to un-befuddle Cardiff and explain the implications of this suite of technologies.
Among other topics, they discuss:
- How a novice can begin learning about crypto
- Whether crypto goes too far towards decentralization
- The inflexibility of smart contracts and algorithms
- The correlation between cryptocurrencies and risky asset classes
- How crypto can evolve in societally beneficial ways
And more!
