Our expert host, Simon Taylor, is joined by a great panel of guests to talk about all things crypto.
In the first part of the show, we want to take a look at just how far we’ve come. How far the crypto space has come in the last year - not just in terms of bitcoin surges but also the real steps forward in terms of adoption by big organisations, regulators and even central banks to start taking this crypto phenomenon seriously.
Why is it booming so much now? Does crypto matter more now than it ever has before? And last but not least, is crypto mainstream, and why should we care about it?
This week's expert guests include:
Shivani Siroya, CEO and founder of Tala
Diogo Monica, CEO of Anchorage
Cuy Sheffield, Head of Crypto, Visa
