A Consensus Thought

Consensus

Consensus 2021, the cryptocurrency conference from CoinDesk went virtual this year and included over 300 speakers participating in 100+ sessions. For the past week, it was the epicenter of financial conversations around the global economy, continued evolution of cryptocurrency into society, and again managed to break major headlines across financial newsrooms. We attended and covered the four-day conference live all week on Twitter.
