On today’s episode, Nikita welcomes Matthew Ketchum, one of Tokyo's most well-known business consultants across real estate, technology and music. We explore why and how crypto has become so useless as a payment mechanism, the crypto industry carrying over exploitative norms from the finance industry, and the crypto bro culture surrounding so much of the industry.
Hopefully by grounding ourselves with the truths of the industry we are able to better navigate the future with more honest and transparent blockchain creations!
This episode was filmed at Centrum Shibuya, a Global Web3 Co-Working Space, the perfect Tokyo base for small events, building and networking. Find out more at: https://centrum.studio/
