Meltem Demirors, Chief Strategy Officer at CoinShares, joins Azeem Azhar to explore the potential and politics of cryptocurrencies: from the ideological origins of Bitcoin to the new wave of decentralized financial products that could disrupt traditional finance.
They also discuss:
- Why the values of the Cypherpunk community are enshrined in Bitcoin’s design.
- How the Decentralized Finance movement is re-imagining existing products on blockchain networks.
- If Bitcoin will ever break out of its niche to become a widely used currency.
