S4E25 Celo: Using Blockchain for Everyday Payments w. Isha Varshney

Why aren't a billion people using Blockchains and Crypto everyday? We explore use cases, particularly payments, with Isha from Celo - an Ethereum L2 focused on 'real world adoption'... You wouldn't pay for coffee with your pension... So assuming that Bitcoin (cited by many as a 'digital gold') doesn't fit for everyday usage, what else can we use to get the benefits of Blockchain technology? Celo has been focusing on this particular problem since inception, and in this episode we're going to zoom in specifically on: - Why Ethereum needs L2s - The mission and vision of Celo to drive 'real world' adoption - Use cases that are gaining traction today: In Africa and beyond - Whether Blockchain is a good 'fit' for everyday payments - And what more is needed to see wider adoption
