Tech Intersect #145: Separating Fact from Fiction [Ping the Prof with Dr. Tonya Evans]

This week, episode 145 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is to answer some listener questions about crypto and blockchain myths on your journey going from Cash to Crypto! The point of my upcoming book, Digital Money Demystified, and these Ping the Prof episodes is to make this space more accessible in plain language. We will talk about the future of work, wealth, and creativity and how that future is impacted at the intersection of blockchain and crypto-asset technology.

To stay on the leading edge of any opportunity, especially investing, you have to empower yourself with the tools and resources needed to keep your knowledge and skills current. And if you’re relying on last year’s information (or even last month’s!), you are already behind.

As a law professor who developed the first blockchain, crypto and law online certificate program, a retail and corporate crypto policy and education trainer, and thought leader appearing regularly on national media, Dr. Evans has done the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Lots of books and courses teach you which crypto assets to invest in. Digital Money Demystified is the book you read before you dive into those. Visit DigitalMoneyDemystified.com to learn more and prepare for the future of money and wealth today. 

Some of the talking points in this episode include:

• Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology can disrupt many industries by offering new ways of exchanging, storing, and managing value and data.  
• The ten industries I know (fact, not fiction) are being disrupted by cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology right now.
  • Finance and banking
  • Supply chain management
  • Healthcare
  • Real estate
  • Identity
  • Energy
  • Gaming
  • Charity and social impact
  • Media and entertainment
  • Government and public services
• The extent of their disruption will vary depending on numerous factors like regulation, innovation, adoption, and integration with current systems. 

As of the beginning of 2023, we’re in a very uncertain regulatory environment. That’s not a signal for leadership to play a wait-and-see game. When a bill is signed into law (check in with School House Rock if you don’t know how that works ….), if you aren’t staying on the leading edge, you’re on a dinosaur track. The beginning of the end.  It’s not too late!
