Manage episode 461215863 series 3584699
Cryptocurrency is becoming a bigger financial and political force in our world, especially after Donald Trump's return to the White House.
This is why smart people who want to have an impact in the world need to learn about it.
But, learning about crypto is difficult, because the loudest voices are devout crypto evangelists and hardcore libertarians.
This episode is different.
We do not want you to trade crypto, we want you to be educated about what it is and why it matters.
In this episode, you will learn from Stephanie Ramezan, CEO & Co-Founder of the Crypto Collective and former CEO of Gemini UK, the regulated cryptocurrency exchange set up by the Winklevoss twins.
Listen to learn:
- What cryptocurrency is
- Why big companies are getting involved in it
- What stablecoins and memecoins are
- Where to find good career opportunities in the crypto space (and what to avoid)
