Whack

The innovators Freishia discusses in this next episode of Whack have paved the way for progress in the world. You would be surprised to find out that many things that make our lives easier, faster and more technologically advanced have been innovated by Indians. 

Everyone's jumping on the crypto bandwagon. It's become a conversation starter at parties, El Salvador adopted it as legal tender, governments are looking at regulating crypto. It's safe to say, crypto is evolving and is here to stay. But, there's also a darker side to it. There's the environmental impact of mining, the volatility of crypto prices often affected by influencers and tweets, and 2021 has seen a rise in illicit and fraudulent crypto transactions. To discuss this dark side of crypto and understand it better, Freishia hosts Rohas Nagpal, a blockchain architect on the show, where they have an open discussion on the perils of crypto. Hope you enjoy it! 

P.S. Freishia spoke to Rohas on his show Cut the Cryp last week about NFTs. Catch that if you haven't already. It's on the Whack podcast feed.

We're in a time where we're labelled extensively. We've come to be more divided than ever and we have increasingly lower tolerance for opinions that are different than ours. But this binary thinking rules out any nuance, and labels us all too simply, leaving no room for us to learn and grow from each other. Join Freishia for a deeper discussion on this in her next episode of Whack.
