CM4: Cryptocurrency & blockchain Part 2


Listen Later

Cryptocurrency, crypto assets, and blockchain... Everyone seems to know about it, or want to invest in it... but how does that actually work? It gets really complicated, really quickly, so the Curious Meerkat talked to a guy who knows all about it. Gys Hough has written articles about blockchain and tokenized systems (yes, he explains what that it), and he has appeared on other podcasts talking about crypto assets and what investment in digital assets looks like. 

 

In Part 2 we talk about what decentralized apps are, and how blockchain tokens can incentivize service providers to use and promote these decentralized apps by giving them ownership. Gys is passionate about how this can promote a working environment with a better balance of power. 

Gys gives an investment checklist for crypto-assets, and makes it sound so easy... (Maybe it's not so complicated after all?) The anonymity myth with Bitcoin comes up, and Gys mentions services that are working on both sides: triangulating crypto-asset transactions, as well as cryptography to make transactions more anonymous.
