Join Ashto and Jonesy this week as they review Bubble or Revolution, a comprehensive book that delves into the topic of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Written by Silicon Valley leaders from Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, Bubble or Revolution provides a balanced, comprehensive, and accessible analysis of these technologies. While the Harvard Business Review and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen have hailed the blockchain as a disruptor and revolutionary invention, there are also concerns about the darker side of cryptocurrencies. They have been linked to drug peddling and hacking, making it difficult for law enforcement to track down criminals. In another instance, the hype around these technologies has reached extreme levels, with companies like Long Island Ice Tea changing their name to add the word blockchain and seeing their stock prices skyrocket. So, are blockchain and cryptocurrencies a legitimate revolution or just a hyper fueled bubble waiting to burst?In this thought-provoking episode, we’re taking a closer look at both sides of the argument and examine the potential use cases and drawbacks of these technologies. Tune in to gain a better understanding of blockchain and cryptocurrencies and decide for yourself if they are a bubble or revolution. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
