In this episode of The SwapSpace Huddle, we sit down with Pauline, CMO of ChangeNOW, to explore the volatile evolution of crypto — from meme coin mania and regulatory gaps to the real-life adoption stories unfolding in Argentina, LATAM, and beyond. Pauline opens up about growing with the industry, surviving scams, and building through both bull and bear markets. We get into the dark side of decentralization, the ethics of meme coins, and why crypto still holds revolutionary potential — if we get it right.

Whether you’re in it for the tech, the freedom, or the fight against fraud, this one pulls no punches.
