About this episode
In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by pTokens, we catch up with Tyler Spalding from AMP Token, formerly known as Flexacoin. He gives us the inside scoop on why he decided to rebrand, when it makes sense for a company to consider it. He gives us an update on the project’s progress, though much still remains behind the curtain. The conversation turned to more high level insights from the former NASA engineer turned digital payments specialist. He gave us his thoughts on banks providing crypto custody, the emerging Central Bank Digital Currencies, and how many financial middlemen’s days are numbered. Lastly, we learned how Tyler measures success. Being one of the most successful people on earth by normal standards, it is interesting to hear his thoughts and passions about why he keeps going even though he never has to work if he didn’t want to. If you haven’t heard his previous interviews in older episodes, you need to go check them out too.
