Crypto in China: What It Really Looks Like - Ep.139
Unchained
Intro
In this chapter, the host presents the podcast’s mission of delivering clear and unbiased information about cryptocurrency. They also promote their other podcast, Unconfirmed, and share sponsorship messages for crypto services aimed at enhancing the listener's experience.
Emily Parker, cofounder of Longhash, describes what the company, which has an Asia-focused incubator and data media site does, how she ended up launching an Asia-focused company, why she’s seeing US crypto teams and ICOs going to Singapore, why the Chinese government cracked down on crypto, and what misconceptions she sees about crypto in China. She explains how the Chinese still trade Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies despite the ban, why Tether plays a big role, how the China ban has affected crypto entrepreneurship and how the upcoming People's Bank of China digital currency could impact crypto. We also discuss how the attitude toward crypto has changed in Japan over time, why so many crypto teams are settling in Singapore, and whether or not the philosophies of censorship-resistance or decentralization resonate in China.
