How does cryptocurrency impact the global economy? | Word Power

Cryptocurrency is more than just futuristic tech or a buzzword—it's reshaping the global economy in ways we’re still trying to understand. In this episode of English Plus Podcast, we dive into the world of digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum to explore their impact on finance, access, regulation, and even the environment. We’ll break down key concepts like blockchain, decentralization, volatility, and smart contracts, making them easy to understand for everyone. Plus, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of cryptocurrency: Does it democratize finance or just create new inequalities? Should governments regulate crypto, or does that defeat its purpose? And how can the industry grow without harming the planet? Join us as we explore these questions, learn new vocabulary in context, and rethink what money means in a rapidly changing world.
