Show Notes
If you turned on CNBC at any point during 2018, you’ll know that lots of startups and entrepreneurs used initial coin offerings (ICOs) to raise funding. Well, it turns out that countries also got into the game. In this episode, we explore the use of “initial country offerings” or the issuance of tokens to raise debt for a country, on the blockchain. We’ll delve into the mechanics of how and why countries raise money, what secures these loans, and how blockchain-based debt could fundamentally change global debt markets.
