Digital Cash Rundown 73 with Esteban Valdez: SWIFT Won't Exist Soon, Paying Employees with Bitcoin

Esteban Valdez comes on the Digital Cash Rundown to talk all things cyrpto including the MasterCard CEO saying the SWIFT system will likely no longer exist in five years, which leads to a long discussion on CBDCs and competing currencies. We also go into the Federal Reserve needing to raise interest rates and the coming financial collapse. Mostly we talk about Esteban's crypto journey into using Bitcoin for his business and personal finances, and what he's learned along the way. Finally we wrap up with a discussion on the metaverse, and why it seems more popular of a concept in the developing world than in rich countries. Donate - Sponsors Thank you so much for listening!
