Listen "Bitcoin boom or digital deception?"
Episode Synopsis
Donald Trump is establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. He wants it to rival the country's stockpile of gold. He boasts America will one day be the "Bitcoin superpower of the world", but what's his end game and what will it mean for future global finance? Questions are already being asked about why he's chosen to largely deregulate the cryptocurrency sector and whether his family's personal crypto interests are now driving US policy.GuestsAssociate Professor Larisa Yarovaya — Director of the Centre for Digital Finance, University of SouthamptonProfessor Robert Elliott — Professor of Economics, University of BirminghamDr John Hawkins — senior Lecturer, Canberra School of Politics, Economics and Society, University of CanberraMaximilian Brichta — Communications, University of Southern California
