Today on Thinking Is Cool, we’re together taking on the sisyphean task of finding out. Here’s a spoiler: The answer is a big fat maybe.

Because like all good things in life, the answer is simple—it depends. Cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and decentralization have the potential to be a lot of things: the future of global currency systems, the future of the internet, the future of wealth building, and more.

But it’ll take more than just adding laser eyes to your Twitter profile picture to bring those possibilities into the realm of reality. This week on Thinking Is Cool, we’re exploring what else we need to grasp to keep hold of the freer, fairer, and better future crypto has promised us.

Here’s who you’ll hear from. And sidenote—I love this episode’s guests. They’re the kind of people you get off the phone with and think, “yeah...I could definitely get a beer with that person.”

Joe Wiesenthal, the co-host of the Odd Lots podcast and “What'd You Miss?” on Bloomberg TV.
Aubrey Strobel, head of communications for the bitcoin rewards app Lolli.

Hit play, sit back, take a deep breath, and join me as I dig myself out of an internet rabbit hole to discover what the future of crypto, bitcoin, and the blockchain really are.
