Tech Intersect #47: Michael Casey-Bitcoin & Money Reimagined from Wall Street to Washington, DC

Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.In this episode, I speak with Michael J. Casey, CoinDesk's chief content officer. Previously, Casey was the CEO of Streambed Media, a company he cofounded to develop provenance data for digital content. He was also a senior advisor at MIT Media Labs's Digital Currency Initiative and a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management. Prior to joining MIT, Casey spent 18 years at The Wall Street Journal. Casey has authored five books, including "The Age of Cryptocurrency" and "The Truth Machine," both co-authored with Paul Vigna.  We chat about two controversial topics: Wall Street's 180 degree turn toward crypto and the STABLE Act, introduced by Rep. Rashid Tlaib. We explored the deep concerns expressed by the crypto community about both topics, what's different with the latest march toward all-time Bitcoin highs and what 2021 holds for crypto and blockchain adoption. SPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY There’s a more cost effective and time-efficient way to reach your leading-edge learning and earning goals, to put you ahead of the stiff competition to create opportunity and generational wealth in this fast-paced, tech-driven economy.
