CONSENSUS CONVERSATIONS: Remember Why We’re Here – Crypto’s True Purpose Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

A Consensus 2023 panel with Michael Casey, Caitlin Long, Neha Narula and Erik Voorhees.

The crash of 2022 laid bare how far the cryptocurrency industry strayed from its early ideals, becoming as opaque as the system it challenged, and this year’s banking panics have underscored its reliance on that system. On the eve of CoinDesk’s tenth anniversary, it's an appropriate moment to take stock of how the industry lost its way, and whether and how it can still deliver on its original promises of greater transparency and resilience. After all, bank runs and runaway inflation merely highlight the need to rethink the legacy paradigm.

Michael Casey, CoinDesk’s chief content officer, moderates alongside panelists:

Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Custodia Bank
Neha Narula, director of Digital Currency Initiative
Erik Voorhees, founder of ShapeShift
