MEMBERS-ONLY EVENT
WED, NOV 30 | 1:30 - 2:30pm ET

Everything you wanted to know about crypto but were afraid to ask

Is crypto truly the next big thing — or is it just a money-sucking flash in the pan? Join TED’s tech curator Simone Ross for a live conversation with author, crypto journalist and podcast host Laura Shin who will take us through what crypto is (and what it definitely isn’t!) and why it might even end up being as important as the internet (really).
