Thanks for pointing out both the pros and cons of fintech. I currently study finance in college and love this field, but fear that the traditional finance industry will get disrupted by new technology.

I am now buying bitcoin, because its so easy to get now. The institution fought it, and now they are all in!

[verymarysalisbury]

I remember when Bitcoin was launched, and all the experts made fun of it, I remember each and every time some so-called expert said it would fall and crumble. But here we are, still growing and now spawning so many other Crypto Currencies.

From the ATM to plastic cards, I'm pretty thrilled by online banking thank you.

[heatherrausch]

i've definitely heard of all this before and i get that cashless is the way of the future but i do hope we manage to hang on to the old ways a little bit. this guy delivered this talk so well though, i actually watched the whole through and was very curious!!

[arnoldcintron]

I can see a day where everything is digital, including us!

[carliewilferth]

There is so much on the news about a cashless society, it's happening, we can't stop it now.

[shahediqbalshakil]

Fintech has changed financial system in Bangladesh. Now a days huge number of transaction are occurring through mobile banking.

[sashapetrovic]

I hear about Fintech though don't understand it, mainly because its financial and technology together. Both things that I am not fond of. Thank you for expanding my view.

Erik, yes - Paul Tudor Jones, a large hedge-fund manager and founder of Tudor Investment Corporation, says he is buying bitcoin futures. He says that Bitcoin is a an inflation hedge against "great monetary inflation, " and reminds him of gold in the 70s.

[gemmaatterks]

I finally bought Bitcoin this year, just a bit and no this isnt an ad. But wow it's really going up.

[therealblackdynasty]

My Mother told me, if you can't see it, you don't have it. I feel this way about a lot of technology that's out there somewhere.

[alicestanser]

All of this, all of this new way of banking - paying - investing is terrifying. Without regulations like we used to have everything seems so risky...

[manasgangishetti]

What is the future for fintech after COVID ?? Can you please suggest??

[sagarmore]

We are moving to a cashless society, and soon EVERYTHING WE DO will be seen by the government and the banks.

[simaobitencourt]

I do love the idea of being able to get rid of the monopoly a lot of the big corporations have... Block chains scare me though! I've heard some pretty terrible things... But as long as we can ensure that such technology isn't helping feed the darker side of the internet I would be all for it.

[erikdangor]

Did I just see a big hedge fund manager declare he bought a lot of crypto?

[zacksuchodolska]

And when it all becomes digital currency, we the people will have lost whatever freedom we had left.

This came up in our group and I wasn't going to watch, but I am glad I did.
