What's The Deal With Crypto?

​Crypto's one of the most polarising subjects among those interested in tech, politics, and economics. For its most ardent critics, crypto's a giant scam that's going to end badly. And for the crypto industry shills, crypto's the financial saviour of our generation.

​Bitcoin was complex enough. Now we have an ever-expanding crypto jargon of decentralised finance, NFTs, web3, and so on. How to make sense of it all?

​Where did crypto come from anyway, why is it still around, and where is it headed?

​The event will begin with a talk by Newspeak House fellow ('17-'18) Ekin Genc who's written 600+ pieces (http://cryptowriting.net) on crypto for such outlets as VICE, Fortune, Decrypt, CoinDesk, and Culture3. It will be followed by an open discussion.

​After the talk, you are welcome to join Ration Club, Newspeak House's weekly social.
