Gospel of Crypto

In this episode, we explore whether cryptocurrency is a new financial system—or something closer to a religion. We touch on the appeal of crypto and evaluate hype versus evidence. We look at a blockchain based religious movement and ask why some scholars are studying the links between crypto and religion. Why does talking to some crypto enthusiasts feel like being evangelized by zealous believers? Why do some see crypto as promising a utopia of freedom and authenticity? Why does it still feel like a pyramid scheme?From faith in code to digital communities, we unpack the beliefs and rituals that shape the space—complete with prophets, evangelists, and a whole lot of faith in something you can’t see.The opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints expressed by the hosts in this podcast are their own and do not represent those of their employers, organizations, or any other affiliated entities.
