Andreas Antonopoulos: What Happens in a Currency Crisis

In this episode, Andreas Antonopoulos joins us to talk about the future of the cryptocurrency industry amidst an ongoing pandemic and the beginnings of a worldwide recession in light of a recently passed $4 trillion stimulus package.

We cover what wallets can do *now* in order to monetize and better enable user adoption of the coins they support, what's in store for the startups in the industry as venture capital dries up and natural selection takes hold, and how an interchain future will evolve as standards across protocols mature.
