Digital Dollars & the Future of Money with Special Guest Jonathan Chester
On this episode, Pete and Julie welcome fintech futurist, digital money visionary, and Founder of Bitwage, Johnathan Chester, to the show and go deep into the world of digital money movement!
From his early Bitcoin obsession to building one of the first platforms enabling crypto payroll, Jonathan shares a front-line perspective on how blockchain, stablecoins, and digital assets are reshaping the global financial landscape—and what it all means for HR and payroll leaders.
The group explores cross-border payment inefficiencies, earned wage access, smart contracts, and the growing appetite among workers for crypto pay options. Jonathan breaks down stablecoins vs. CBDCs, the implications of the new GENIUS Act, and how digital rails are paving the way for real-time, programmable payroll.
