In this episode we discuss the potential of blockchain for social good with Teresa Bízková, ecosystem communications manager at Topl and the founder of ReFi Medellín.
Tereza and I disucss how blockchain is not just about cryptocurrencies, but a tool for real-world impact, fostering financial inclusion, and supporting environmental causes. Teresa recounts her transformation from blockchain skeptic to advocate, while we dissect Topl's role in emerging markets and furthering financial inclusion.
I especially loved learning about Alternun's unique approach of incentivizing gold miners to NOT MINE GOLD, and instead keep it in the ground.
We wrap up with a glimpse into the grassroots movement and how local communities are harnessing innovative economic models to encourage environmental stewardship. From rewarding clean-up hikes with digital currency to exploring bartering systems, we discuss how blockchain tech is encouraging local stewardship and participation.
