Hash Power – Ep. 3 – Funding, Forking, and a Creative Future

Hash Power – Ep. 3 – Funding, Forking, and a Creative Future

In episodes one and two of Hash Power, we explored blockchain technology and cryptocurrency investing. In this episode, we discuss the current and potential future states of the crypto world. We cover new forms of cooperation, regulation, security and storage, and why blockchains allow systems to evolve at such a rapid pace. 
Be sure to listen until the end, where we close with some advice about conducting ourselves in a new world where creativity reigns and repetitive jobs disappear—a trend that may only accelerate thanks to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.
Hash Power is presented by Fidelity Investments
