Crypto and the Future of Money (with Do Kwon from Terra)

[ad_1]

January 12, 2022

Some people see cryptocurrencies as speculative assets with no real use at best, a Ponzi scam at worst. For others, blockchain-based currencies represent the bright future of the financial system. Do Kwon, founder and CEO of Terraform Labs, the company behind the Terra blockchain, is firmly in the second camp.

He and Azeem Azhar discuss Terra stablecoin and its protocol suite, the growth of the Terra ecosystem, and how Terra could eventually become the currency of a future lived primarily online.

They also discuss:

How a “decentralized dollar” could rewrite the rules of finance. Terra’s approach to attracting the general public to the crypto ecosystem. What future jobs could pay exclusively in crypto.
