How can crypto make the world a better place? Afterall, to the average person, it can look like nothing more than just online money. But what are the implications of it? How could it revolutionize the economy as we know it?

It’s very easy to get caught up in the excitement of this new, technological wonder, but it’s also important to remember that we need to be cautious in our approach to these things; we need to make sure that we regulate crypto appropriately, but not to the extent that it betrays the principles it was founded on.

In this episode of Building a Better World, Hrish is joined by Jillian Godsil, Editor in Chief and Founder of BlockLeaders, a publication and creative network that provides a platform for innovators and leaders in technology. She is also a Journalist for Cointelegraph and CoinDesk; an Advisor for Metaverse Fashion Council, Glitter Finance, AdLunam Inc., Electroneum; and is an Ambassador for Europechain.

In 2022, she was in the Top 100 Women of the Future; longlisted in 2021’s Rising Women in Crypto Power; and was a finalist in the 2021 CityAm Awards. Having held senior positions with global PR companies in Sydney, Singapore, London and Dublin, as well as being featured on BBC Newsnight and the Huffington Post, she is a Web3 force to be reckoned with.

Key Highlights:

Making the World a Better Place - Suffice to say, Jillian has been through quite a lot in her life. After a series of bad experiences with the banks, she came across the concept of blockchain and crypto in 2017, which inspired her to utilize it as a tool to make the world a better place. She’s traveled the world, held conferences, and interviewed countless people who have given her valuable insights into the world of crypto.

Echo Chambers Breed Complacency - Jillian is a strong advocate for diversity within the tech-space. She acknowledges that for anything to change, we need to surround ourselves with people of all different backgrounds, races, sexualities, and genders. If we surround ourselves with only people that think the same as us, then nothing will change and it will breed complacency within the industry; the world is in the state it’s in precisely because of this. Men alone can’t fix everything, we need everyone’s input.

Is There Room for Regulation? - It’s hard to say how regulation in the crypto space will work, because, on the one hand, it is absolutely needed so users can trust what it is they’re using, but on the other, the regulations put in place would need to be carefully monitored so that they don’t restrict too much. Blockchain and crypto have to stick with their principles.

Practicing Quiet Optimism in the Tech Space - Despite all the bad things that have happened within the last year, Jillian continues to stay optimistic about the future. Blockchain and crypto have proven that people are capable of coming together and making success happen, and are continuing to do so. If that’s not a good enough reason to stay optimistic, then what is?
