John Wingate of BankSocial and Azeem Khan of Morph tell The Agenda podcast how crypto and blockchain can make the world a better, more equitable place.
Speculative investing, destroying the environment and scamming innocent people: If you ask the average person on the street what crypto and blockchain are useful for, these are a few of the answers they may give you.
Crypto skeptics have long pushed the narrative that there are no real ways for blockchain to help everyday people around the world. This perspective is perhaps understandable, considering that most of the headlines that make it into traditional media and, therefore, the minds of the Average Joe highlight the most negative aspects of the space.
At the same time, regular people who could benefit from crypto tools may feel it a bit overwhelming or risky to dive into the technology. On Episode 40 of The Agenda podcast, hosts Jonathan DeYoung and Ray Salmond speak with two builders working to bring the benefits of decentralized technology to those who need it most: John Wingate, founder and CEO of BankSocial, and Azeem Khan, co-founder and chief operating officer of Morph.
