The Future of Cryptocurrency

<p>Ryan Selkis, founder and CEO of Messari, the crypto economy analyst firm, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim, host of Futurized podcast and author of Future Tech, Pandemic Aftermath, Disruption Games and Leadership From Below. </p> <p>In this conversation, they talk about what cryptocurrency is in simple terms, what's next in terms of adoption, and where we are going in the next decade.</p> <p>The takeaway is that the future of cryptocurrency is of such transformational character that the global economy is likely to change forever as a result. The only question is the speed of adoption and the important regional differences in terms of speed of adoption, governance models and new, emerging powerhouses. If Ryan Selkis is right, Bitcoin will take on aspects that make it similar in function to the gold standard. These are earth shattering predictions indeed. Combine that, with the fact that volatility will continue to be high for some time to come. How to prepare for a period where stability includes volatility? If this comes to pass, entire economic paradigms will get smothered.</p> <p>After listening to the episode, check out Messari as well as Ryan Selkis' online profile: </p> <ul><li>Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot) <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanselkis/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanselkis/</a> </li> <li>Messari.io <a href='https://messari.io/'>https://messari.io/</a></li> </ul> <p>The show is hosted by <a href='https://www.podbean.com/'>Podbean</a> and can be found at <a href='https://www.futurized.co/'>Futurized.co</a>.
