Could Good Dollar be crypto’s answer to UBI? With Yoni Assia (eToro’s CEO)

Welcome to a very special edition of the Defiant Weekly as we get to joust with one of the most mercurial talents in the crypto space. As the CEO and co-founder of eToro he has probably done more than anyone to bring retail investors into trading with innovations like fractional shares and commission-free trading.

Back in 2013 he co-authored the now legendary Colored Coins white paper with a young man by the name of Vitalik Buterin who went on to develop something notable the name of which escapes me. As the world was struggling to get to grips with the Covid Pandemic the concept of Universal Basic Income began to be taken far more seriously than it has in decades.

Good Dollar is Yoni’s crypto solution for UBI, a global movement to bring economic opportunity to all. And that is how we’ve come together today. It’s a fascinating conversation covering Yoni’s journey into crypto, NFTs and how to solve inequality at scale through trickle up economics. He’s a true legend - enjoy.
