Andreas Antonopoulos is a Greek California-based information security expert, tech-entrepreneur and author. He is a host on the Let’s Talk Bitcoin podcast and a teaching fellow for the Master in Science of Digital Currencies at the University of Nicosia.
This was another fascinating and wide-ranging talk about the challenges facing society as a whole, through the lens of currency and corruption. It’s arguably just as relevant today as it was when we spoke back in 2016.
Andreas has a brilliant way of simplifying complicated financial concepts and showing us why they have an immediate and massive impact on our lives.
