#40 George Coxon - Nano: Crypto Level-up? Do We Already Have Access to a Viable Global Currency?

Products With Purpose

In this episode of Products With Purpose, Eli spoke with George Coxon Director of the Nano Foundation

Nano is the world's most efficient decentralized currency with 0 fees, network settlements in av. 0.2s and a negligible carbon footprint. It is a new currency that happens to be digital. Like the cash in your pocket, choosing to transact with Nano ensures that 100% of the value is transferred directly to the recipient.

The Nano Foundation is a not-for-profit organization and alongside other institutions, businesses and advocates encourage the growth and usability of a secure and decentralized payment network.

A background in Evolutionary Anthropology amplified George’s fascination with social behaviors, giving her a broad understanding of the ways by which efficient, decentralized digital money can empower the underbanked by offering a sustainable and fair medium of exchange anywhere on the planet.

Some of the highlights from this episode:

  • How George went from anthropology in Madagascar to champion of Nano
  • How Nano came to exist and what makes it unique
  • Solving the carbon footprint issues of crypto currencies
  • The potential future of a global currency
