Crypto as payment? We're not there yet

Description
Cryptocurrency and blockchain - the technology underpinning cryptocurrency - have the potential to go far beyond how we're using it now - and the impact on businesses will be felt for years to come. From applications for online gaming, company shares, smart wallets and connected car services - the possibilities are endless. But we're not quite there yet. While some businesses are already accepting crypto as payment, there is still a lot of work for the ATO, ASIC and the RBA to do behind the scenes to ensure crypto is regulated and safe. In this podcast, Ian Renwood, partner and National Head of Technology & Media, and Jace Gawne-Buckland, partner in Private Business Tax & Advisory, talk all things cryptocurrency - including banking the unbanked, machines trading services and just when we might see crypto as a standard payments option.
