🎙️From Gimmick to Gamechanger: Why Crypto's Time Has Finally Come with Greg Johnson (Rubicon Crypto)
Q: What should fintech students and professionals focus on to stay ahead in this space?
Become fluent in the future of payments, understand stablecoins and regulation, and invest time in building a broad, practical education—like taking MIT Sloan's open course on crypto, following reliable news sources, and developing a deep, cross-disciplinary understanding.
🎙️From Gimmick to Gamechanger: Why Crypto's Time Has Finally Come with Greg Johnson (Rubicon Crypto)
Q: At what point did you realize crypto is here to stay and not go away?
I first encountered blockchain in 2014 and was skeptical as a traditional financial advisor, but as I followed the evolution and saw the natural progression toward tokenized assets, I became convinced that crypto would become a fundamental part of global finance.
Featured Replay - Fintech Talks: Bridging Digital Assets & Traditional Finance – Insights from Annelise Osborne (Kadena)
Q: What inspired you to write From Hoodies to Suits?
The book arose after witnessing the FTX collapse and recognizing a gap in education about blockchain's implications for finance, which motivated me to explain how the technology can make financial systems more efficient, cheaper, and faster while addressing regulation and education as key barriers.
