ABOUT

“Our goal is taking something that historically you could only get through mining or through investing, and we're trying to make bitcoin a part of everyday life,” says Alex Adelman, CEO of bitcoin rewards app Lolli.

Adelman joins “Consensus Conversations” to discuss why Lolli has solely offered bitcoin rewards since the company’s founding in 2018, how spend-to-earn differs from other models like play-to-earn and move-to-earn, and where crypto fits into the future of finance.

Consensus 2022 ignited hard-hitting conversations about how crypto technologies and communities are remaking the worlds of finance, investing, culture, entertainment, marketing, governance and more.
