Sam X discusses the real meaning of cryptocurrency. This important new form of exchange is having massive influence on our world today but many people still don’t really grasp either its workings or its importance to the future economy. As the founder of the Crypto Cafe project, Sam gives an illuminating insight into all sides of the debate, starting with the revelation that crypto is not even really a currency as we have understood it up to now but a whole new way of creating wealth in a way that will be much harder for the usual big banks and authorities to own and control. Its more democratic nature is a technological paradigm shift that is “revolutionising the world in ways that few people realise”. Sam does not deny some of the inevitable possible misuses and downsides to crypto but makes clear that it offers many benefits too.
