We can’t talk about personal disruption without discussing disruptive technologies, so this week’s episode is a bit different. It’s a 101 course on blockchain, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and the philosophy behind the decentralization movement.
Most of us have heard these terms by now, but many (even those who dabble with them) don’t understand how they actually work, or why they matter. Adam B. Levine joins Whitney to provide a primer. He’s the managing editor of CoinDesk, host of the “Speaking of Bitcoin” podcast, and the CEO of Tokenly.com.
Levine shares practical examples (and some great metaphors!) about how blockchain tech verifies “who owns what stuff” on the Internet, and what the future might hold for NFTs and Bitcoin once the current mania subsides.
