WORLD SOCIALIST MOVEMENT ONLINE MEETINGS
HAS THE CRYPTO BUBBLE FINALLY BURST?
Speaker: Paddy Shannon
After a catastrophic 2022 that saw $2tn wiped off global cryptocurrency values, and the high-profile collapse of FTX and the subsequent arrest of its owner, you might think the lustre has finally left the crypto world. And yet, Silicon Valley VC companies are pumping billions into crypto’s latest new high-rolling venture, so-called Web3, the internet’s supposed next incarnation using crypto tokens and the blockchain. WTF is going on, and what does it say about the direction capitalism is taking?
