Listen now (44 min) | A lot of us have come across the FTX debacle already, those who held positions of leadership in organisations that had relationships with them are now left with the unimaginable, heavy task of informing their teams of the ever evolving situation. When asked if he will still participate in the crypto space after all this, FarooQ’s response is a passionate yes, reminding us that there is a bigger mission with crypto that cannot be forgotten. The proven potential of blockchain technology goes beyond making copious amounts of money, or at least, it should.
