78: Blockchain and Crypto basics, is there any need for blockchain? A conversation on use cases of Blockchain and crypto with guest Ketan Ravalia a prominent Indian business leader

Last month I was visiting India and whenever I talked about Web3, blockchain and crypto to anyone, they had quite a few questions about it.  So I decided to answer some of these questions in this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani podcast.  One of my childhood friends who also happens to be a prominent business leader in my hometown and I sat down to talk about all things blockchain.  We answer questions such as is blockchain even needed, why not just use a regular database, will governments and large corporations ever use it? Central bank digital currencies and much much more. Also in this episode I try to break down the concepts into something very simple so anyone can understand. I do this by using examples and stories that are not technical. This episode contains the basics of blockchain and crypto. Nothing mentioned in this podcast should be taken as investment advice.   Finally, I don’t run ads on my podcast.
