Andrew Noble on Rising Inflation, Cryptocurrencies and The Future of Money
Andrew Noble
Web3.0 Accountant & Founder @ LodgeIT & Accziom
What We Discuss With Andrew Noble
This episode aims at providing the listeners with a macro perspective of fiat currencies , the growing concern on inflation levels and how cryptocurrencies represent a better way for people to protect their wealth.
One of the reasons behind this episode was a few weeks ago, a friend told me investing in cryptocurrencies is a scam, and while of course I did my best to convince him otherwise that the government printing money is the actual scam, I want this episode to serve as a wake up call for people not familiar with cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange and store of value.
In this episode you will learn,
- The recent surge in money printing by governments;
- Bitcoin as the new store of value;
- Are CBDCs an attack on our privacy and freedom;
- The future of money and whether cryptocurrencies will spell the end of cash;
- How to predict and be better prepared for the future;
- His new company Accziom, geared for blockchain for enterprises;
- And much more.
