Building a better Western Union with RemittDao

What better way to celebrate Consensus2023 than with someone from Consensys (see what we did there). On this pod I speak with Craig about the future of international payments and how his DAO works to onboard migrants in southeast Asia to web3. We often hear "crypto is a scam" or "only a speculative investment" and on this episode we debunk such rumors going deep into the fees and every day challenges workers abroad face in supporting themselves and their family back home.
