Funny Money is a show about the economy, how it works, and how it can work better. In Part 3 of this 3-part episode, Ka and Andrés are joined by Prof. Rohan Grey to discuss the Crypto craze including its origins, the crash of 2022, and why he is known as the "villain" of the Crypto industry for drafting the most comprehensive Stablecoin regulation bill (the STABLE Act) proposed in the House by Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Finally, we discuss the future of digital money, including the #digitaldollar and data privacy.
