A Year in Retrospect: From a DeFi Summer to the Explosive Growth of Bitcoin

In this special edition of “Money Reimagined,” co-hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren observe the first anniversary of their podcast by bringing back two memorable guests from last December: Raoul Pal, CEO and founder of Real Vision, and Jill Carlson, founder of the Open Money Initiative. Bitcoin as a speculative asset or bitcoin as a tool for the poor was one of the hot topics under debate at that time. Which was the most important development in crypto over the past year? Would El Salvador be better served by stablecoins rather than its Bitcoin law? The guests discuss these questions. Plus, the explosive growth of bitcoin and Ethereum, stablecoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more.
