Ep. 5 ReFi Medellin & Topl with Tereza Bízková
Description
In this episode we discuss the potential of blockchain for social good with Teresa Bízková, ecosystem communications manager at Topl and the founder of ReFi Medellín.
Tereza and I disucss how blockchain is not just about cryptocurrencies, but a tool for real-world impact, fostering financial inclusion, and supporting environmental causes. Teresa recounts her transformation from blockchain skeptic to advocate, while we dissect Topl's role in emerging markets and furthering financial inclusion.
I especially loved learning about Alternun's unique approach of incentivizing gold miners to NOT MINE GOLD, and instead keep it in the ground.
We wrap up with a glimpse into the grassroots movement and how local communities are harnessing innovative economic models to encourage environmental stewardship. From rewarding clean-up hikes with digital currency to exploring bartering systems, we discuss how blockchain tech is encouraging local stewardship and participation.
