The world of Cryptocurrency, or in financial terms the de-fi (decentralized finance) is perhaps the future of the world, which at the same time poses a threat to the current financial system, and thereby perhaps a threat to the homo sapiens, as this technology might make most of us irrelevant, apart from making a certain proportion rich and splendid.

So, here in our podcast, we will be discussing various dimensions of cryptocurrency, the future of decentralized finance, and its various dimensions related to its advantages, disadvantages, challenges, threats to the current financial system, and many more.

Since crypto is a booming arena, so is perhaps important for each one of us, to dive down into it and see/ contemplate what our future {of finance and transactions} looks like, and to finally come and form a conclusion that is we humans, ready for it? Is it a bane or a boon for homo sapiens and their existing financial system? 

So, let’s confabulate more and dive into this splendid discussion in the fourth episode of our series of podcasts, in collaboration with The Finance and Investment Cell (FIC), where the current economic topics chill the veins of its listeners!

Traditionally, wars were fought at the country's borders by soldiers but now business heads are donning the cap of generals and firing missiles at the competition. Instead of wars being fought in borders now they are being fought in the boardroom, taking the shape of tariffs, restrictions, and barriers. The effect of which is that the employees, profits, and own citizens of the countries are getting exploited. 

Are we really equipped for this ground reality?
