Episode He Predicted the Crypto Crash 5 Years Ago. (Here is What Happens Next) ft. Ahmad Manzoor | TBT Podcast
Is the internet dying? With AI bots and "slop" projected to make up 99% of web traffic, the need for verified, authentic data has never been more critical. In this episode, Ahmad Manzoor returns to the Thought Behind Things podcast to reveal how Blockchain is secretly fixing the AI data crisis, the evolution of NADRA's digital identity system, and what the global push for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) means for Pakistan's economy.
Five years ago, we warned you about the crypto and NFT bubble. Today, the hype is dead, but the underlying technology is quietly transforming the global financial system. We break down the shift from speculative coins to real-world applications like Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and tokenized real estate. More importantly, we debate the terrifying reality of the "cashless society"—how the transition to digital currencies could lead to an authoritarian surveillance state where your financial liberty is completely monitored. Forget the tech buzzwords; this is how the macro-economy is fundamentally changing.
