Despite promising to offer another alternative payment system to the cannabis industry that is notoriously underserved by traditional banking, cryptocurrencies have yet to see major adoption. Does this make sense or is there a massive opportunity being missed? Rob Viglione’s talk will provide an overview of cryptofinance and offer practical advice on how the industries can move forward together.
