This is Part 2 of a Two Part series on Blockchain, Crypto and Decentralized Finance (event notice for Part 1 is at: issues.

This talk begins with the essential elements of modern crypto (minus the technical rigor of Part One): public permissionless blockchains, immutable distributed ledger technology, cryptocurrency, smart contracts, stablecoins, gold.” This is in contrast to transaction speed/volume, smart contract enhancements, and tokenization capability implemented into other crypto that target traditional financial settlement (Visa, MC, Venmo, PayPal, SWIFT, etc.). The so-called “Layer-Two blockchains” and “Channels” that also target transactional speed and cost of crypto-based transactions will also be more.

Lastly, with the recent passage of the GENIUS Act, stablecoins (crypto pegged to fiat) have the potential to increase crypto acceptance by providing an on-ramp to Layer-One crypto, to provide an alternative to cross-nation settlements, to aid in anti-money laundering efforts, and notice.

A lengthy Q&A period will be provided for those participants remaining after the ~90 minute https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mhuh3Jw5WG6gNKqJ0WLQ9-3b7ALYoVVQ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112749112840320398956&rtpof=true&sd=true
