Popis epizódy
With cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and others losing over half their value in a matter of weeks, in the midst of the current economic crisis, people are wondering whether investing in Crypto is such a good idea after all. Jonathan speaks with cryptocurrency expert Pavol Luptak about the reasons for this sudden and dramatic drop in value, how crypto-enthusiasts protect themselves against such radical fluctuations, and what he believes about the future of cryptocurrencies more generally. – Repeat: Recent years have seen a sharp increase in attempts by social media platforms like Google or Facebook to exercise control over what their users are allowed to post or share online.

Jonathan speaks with Robert Moro of the Kempelen Institute of Intelligent Technologies, who specialises in AI and its use on social media, about these very questions.
