In this virtual interview with FF News, Douglas Mackenzie talks to Bitstamp’s Head of Strategic Partnerships about de-centralised finance. In this video, Shadman gives his insight into the ways that the covid pandemic has changed people’s attitudes towards de-centralised finance.

“To a large extent, I think the pandemic did change people’s appetite for cryptocurrency and I think one of the biggest things that will come out of the pandemic outside of the obvious is the increased adoption of e-commerce. So more and more people were buying goods and services online and engaging with them in a virtual or digital setting versus going to a physical store”

“That takes up that first friction of physical currency vs the digital world and the other thing that we saw during the pandemic that was quite big was people wanted and needed ways to engage with other people in virtual settings. Whether that was through Zoom or going and playing a metaverse game, or interacting with someone in a virtual world.”
