ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode, Ben Putley speaks with Nic Cary, founder of Blockchain.com, one of the pioneering cryptocurrency companies established in 2011. Nic built the first popular blockchain explorer (blockchain.info) and has grown Blockchain.com into one of the world's largest crypto platforms, serving millions of users globally.
As someone who's witnessed Bitcoin's evolution from the early days to today's $3 trillion market, Nic shares his perspective on the current state of cryptocurrency adoption and makes some bold predictions about what's coming next.
In this episode:
- Why despite a $3 trillion market cap, only 200-300 million people globally are actually "on-chain"
- How regulatory frameworks have inadvertently created barriers to adoption, particularly in markets like the UK
- The emerging intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology
- Why AI agents will be conducting most digital payments within five years
- New interfaces won't be controlled by single companies like current operating systems
- Why we're moving from "infrastructure decade" to "execution decade"
A must-listen for builders, investors, and anyone who wants the unvarnished truth about where crypto really stands – and the massive opportunities still ahead.
