Bitcoin & The Decentralised Future with Michael Casey - WBD380

Location: Remotely Date: Friday 23rd July Project: Coindesk Role: Chief Content Officer

Historically, the control of information was held mainly by powerful entities like the church, governments, or corporations. While the dawn of the internet age has made the ability to broadcast worldwide cheap and accessible, algorithmic curation is influencing our discourse.

Now, the left v right paradigm is more divisive than ever, leaving many disenfranchised with politics. A new battle is emerging between incumbent-centralisation and disruptive-decentralisation that is spreading not just through information and governance but with Bitcoin, money itself.

In this interview, I talk to Coindesk’s Chief Content Officer, Michael Casey. We discuss the power of controlling information, the divisiveness of left v right politics and how in the future governance may decentralise.
