The world’s digital infrastructure has come to the forefront as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Everything from education, jobs, and social interactions was transferred onto the digital sphere in an effort to continue the functioning of the processes that hold civilization together. Although the digital economy sector has been around for quite some time, it has seen a sudden, albeit necessary influx of believers, investors, businesses and consumers of various sectors. As we enter the new year, the world is grappling with the worst economic downturn since the great depression (according to the IMF). Will the future of opportunity and prosperity lie in the digital economy?. We are joined by Anthony Di Iorio, Co-Founder of Ethereum and Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Decentral, and Denelle Dixon, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Stellar Development Foundation, to discuss whether 2021 will be the year where currency as we know it will change, for good.
