Why Crypto Matters, Even If You Don't Own It

Thursday, August 13
2:00 - 3:00 PM ET

Tonantzin Carmona
Fellow, Brookings Institution

Cryptocurrency is often viewed as a niche topic that primarily affects those who choose to buy digital assets. But as crypto becomes increasingly connected to the broader financial system, its impacts extend far beyond crypto investors.

Join Tonantzin Carmona, Fellow at the Brookings Institution, for a conversation about the current state of the crypto marketplace and the policy questions surrounding its growth. The discussion will explore issues such as consumer protection, scams and fraud, financial stability, and the ways crypto is increasingly intersecting with everyday economic life.

This session will provide a broader framework for understanding why crypto matters, even for people who never buy it.

Brian Goldstone's book, There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America, has been called "appropriately enraging" and compared to Matthew Desmond's Evicted. The Nation's review said, "a book like this ought to be a rallying cry, the 21st Century equivalent of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle." It has also recently won the Pulitzer Prize.

We would like to invite Prosperity Indiana members, partners, and Hoosier advocates from around the state to join us in a summer read of this landmark work of journalism at the end of August.

The ebook is currently offered for $12.99 on Bookshop, Kindle, and elsewhere ebooks are sold.

This will be a statewide discussion hosted virtually on teams, but if you see that members of your community are also participating, we hope this will serve as a springboard to local connections and continued conversations.

Hear Brian Goldstone Speak in Indianapolis!

If you live in the greater Indianapolis area, we encourage you to consider attending United Way of Central Indiana's CONNECT forum on Monday, July 20, which will feature Brian Goldstone as a speaker.
