Description

We on the Crypto podcast team are taking a short pause to give thanks and spend some time with loved ones. And we wanted to share one of our favorite previous episodes with you. We'll be back with new episodes on Monday. Enjoy!
The gaming industry is bigger in revenue terms worldwide than the film and television industries combined. But it also continues to deal with hard and necessary conversations over who benefits from those profits, over work and labor conditions, and (as always) about intellectual property. Adding blockchain and NFT's might just complicate things a bit more. Bloomberg reporter Cecilia D'Anastasio joins this episode to discuss why and how crypto is showing up in video games. 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.
