Description

Venture capitalists and certain people in the music industry are enthusiastic about the potential for artists to benefit from technology like the blockchain and NFTs. But there isn’t universal agreement, especially among musicians themselves, that any of this is necessarily a good idea. What are the big trends, and the big areas of disagreement? Bloomberg reporter Lucas Shaw joins this episode from Los Angeles to continue our coverage of crypto and the music industry. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crypto is the world's hottest financial trend. Digital tokens like Bitcoin and NFTs have moved from niche products to showing up in Super Bowl commercials and song lyrics.  Advocates of these new asset classes promise they will democratize the finance industry, and they hail the blockchain technology that backs it all as the future of computing. Skeptics say it's another financial house of cards. No newsroom on the planet is better equipped than Bloomberg to cut through all the noise and provide clarity, context and authority. In this new daily podcast, Bloomberg’s reporting team will tease out what’s actually important in the crypto conversation. Led by crypto expert Stacy-Marie Ishmael, the podcast will draw on reporters in every region and credible voices in the industry to cover everything from regulation to alt coins to DeFi, and even the environmental impact of the currency that promises to change the finance landscape indefinitely.
