A Show About Crypto with Rohan Joshi

IVM Podcasts

The field of cryptocurrency can seem extremely daunting and volatile if you're not well versed in it. What really is a Bitcoin? What's a blockchain? What's proof-of-work and proof-of-stake? How are they all related? How does Elon Musk fit in all of this?

You've probably heard some or all of these terms over the last few months, but maybe, like us, you don't fully understand what it all means, and whether it's a good place to invest in.
Welcome to 'A Show About Crypto with Rohan Joshi' - a show where comedian Rohan sits down with an expert to explain, in the simplest of ways, what cryptocurrency is and how it all works.
Each week, Rohan embarks on a mission to understand for himself what the different aspects of cryptocurrencies are, and how they all come together. Join him in this journey if you have similar questions on your mind as well.
