What Business Leaders Should Know About Cryptocurrency

Jeff John Roberts, an author and journalist, dug deep into the
world of cryptocurrency to figure out what the rest of us really
need to know about it. He acknowledges that the proliferation and
volatility of digital currencies can make them seem like a fad but
argues that the oldest among them -- bitcoin -- and the blockchain
technology behind it are here to stay because they offer a more
efficient way for companies and consumers to transact. He describes
in plain English how crypto works and explains why now is the time
for forward-thinking business leaders to understand -- and adapt to
-- this new kind of currency. Roberts is the author of the book
"Kings of Crypto: One Startup's Quest to Take Cryptocurrency Out of
Silicon Valley and Onto Wall Street."
