Demetri Kofinas is the host of the Hidden Forces podcast, where he gives you an edge by teaching you to think critically about the systems of power that structure our world.
Hidden Forces is about the forces of the world that impact markets, technology, culture, and our lives, meaning that Demetri is astutely aware of the cryptocurrency industry and its implications.
However, he is not in the ‘crypto-religion’ as many of us are.
He views crypto from the outside in.
We bring Demetri onto the pod this week to get his perspective as to what crypto looks like when viewed from outside the bubble.
We take a moment to discuss a number of 2020 themes:
- Distrust in institutions
- Monetary policy in the days of COVID
- More government, or less government?
...and of course, how significant is the role of crypto with regards to these things. Is it a revolution? Or destined to be domesticated by the powers of the world?
Demetri is both knowledgeable AND skeptical, which is a dangerous combination to anyone who believes in the revolution.
Tune in!
