Making dumb money smart - a look at programmable money and digital currency

Making dumb money smart - a look at programmable money and digital currency

Episode 2 of season 2 is here, and in this instalment of Fintech Daydreaming Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu catch up with an old - Jack Nikogosian from Aryze to talk about all things smart money, and to return to some old debates Jack and Ville had in 2019 (see the linked YouTube video).

Did we actually agree on anything in this show? Did Jack get a chance to revisit the topics Ville and him debated in 2019? Tune in to find out!

This episode runs a bit longer than usual because we just couldn't stop talking. We hope you find it worth your time regardless.
