At first it was just Bitcoin. Now when someone refers to crypto, they might be talking about ethereum, NFTs, ICOs, smart contracts, DAOs, and a whole bunch of other technologies too numerous to mention. 

Stacy-Marie Ishmael, managing editor for crypto at Bloomberg, joins the show to un-befuddle Cardiff and explain the implications of this suite of technologies. 

Among other topics, they discuss: 

• How a novice can begin learning about crypto
• Whether crypto goes too far towards decentralization
• The inflexibility of smart contracts and algorithms 
• The correlation between cryptocurrencies and risky asset classes
• How crypto can evolve in societally beneficial ways 

And more!
