Technological Vs Social Innovation: Blockchains Are Influencing New Behaviours Through Micropayments
About this episode
What new behaviours have we noticed amongst crypto people in the last year?
In Episode #295 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: forming a line vs a booking system, why I've been losing track of my money, Juan's struggle to answer my question, why Paypal's micropayments just don't cut it, Juan trying to argue against an Ethics Professor, the real reason our marketing is suboptimal and how to send some micropayment value our way!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
