In episode 15 of tvN’s’Future Class’ (director Park Ji-eun, Kim Gyeong-up), broadcast on the 22nd, a lecture is unfolded on the theme of’The Game of Money Changes, Next Money’. Hashed CEO Kim Seo-jun, a blockchain investment company, and Park Soo-yong, a professor of computer science at Sogang University, who is also the second president of the Korean Blockchain Society, will serve as a lecturer to refresh the curiosity surrounding’Next Money’.
The cryptocurrency, which has taken a breather after the bitcoin craze in 2017, is reviving in the Corona 19 pandemic situation and is recording a rising trend. With the recent bitcoin price exceeding 50,000 dollars each and breaking the highs every day, voices of expectations and concerns about the future of cryptocurrency are simultaneously emerging. Therefore, in today’s broadcast, we have time to explore whether virtual currency is the currency of the future or a product for speculation.
CEO Seo-joon Kim explained that the nature of the U.S.’Game Stop’ situation, in which hedge funds and individual investors fought for unprecedented power, and the birth of bitcoin, draw attention. Bitcoin, which appeared in 2008, and the game stop incident in January, were all stemmed from distrust toward the traditional financial system. It is expected to be beneficial by providing investment advice for highly volatile cryptocurrencies while predicting the future economy with transparent and reliable cryptocurrency.
Professor Park Soo-yong continues a keen analysis on the blockchain technology that is the basis of cryptocurrency. From the principle of blockchain technology to the value of Bitcoin as a currency, the central bank issued digital currency (CBDC) and the future of cryptocurrency in detail. Economic YouTubers’Shin Saimdang’, Hong Seok-cheon, Kim Ji-min, Lee Hyun-yi, and Daniel, who participated as a panel in the’Next Money’ lecture that changes the game of money, raised their curiosity because they expressed their interest by asking questions more actively than ever.
