Digital Dollar w/ CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo ("Crypto Dad")

First came the digitization of Information - the Internet. Chris Giancarlo, Former Chairman of the CFTC, joins me on the Stage to discuss the Digitization of Things of Value - cryptocurrency and digital currency. Chris believes that we are going to look back and see this resulting in as big a change, if not bigger, than the internet. Chris predicts that "our children will be using digital assets during their lifetime as a medium of both exchange, of savings, of holding of assets...that will be digitized as well."
