The Future of Money on the Blockchain
David Siegal is a self-proclaimed regulatory refugee from the United States. I know he doesn’t feel alone. Today we’re going to talk about the blockchain and the future of money.
Questions
- What is the future of money?
- What is going on in the US Government that is resisting the crypto / blockchain space?
- Isn’t the turmoil caused by the SEC in the US because they won’t come out with some clear guidelines? How should crypto/blockchain companies be navigating the SEC?
- Personal data
- I liken this whole thing to India’s phone problem. It took two years for an average Indian citizen to get a phone line into their home. It was terrible. However, once mobile phone proliferated, the technology was adapted en-masse almost instantly. It’s a true hockey stick. Countries with weak currency will experience the same and I believe we’re already starting to see that.
- But if you look at China’s DCEP and while they are now pro-crypto, don’t you see a lot of risk that model as well?
IN 100 words or less, if you could invest a fictional $100,000 in one or two cryptos, what would they be and why?
10% into a reasonable mix of crypto MDAO real-world assets 1/3 bitcoin and 1/3 ETH
Key Takeaway:
I'm starting a new nonprofit to help people capture, manage, and take advantage of their own personal data.
