Haseeb Qureshi | Cryptocurrency Is the New Cash

Today’s guest is Haseeb Qureshi, a managing partner at Dragonfly Capital Partners who’s all about improving himself constantly, at a personal and professional level. A committed meditator and plain water junkie, Haseeb sits down with Luba to chat about the fascinating world of cryptocurrencies. 

In this episode, Haseeb describes the cryptocurrencies concept and the current global panorama, to then share his predictions around their future behavior. He explains how cryptos nose dove (as every single market out there also did) during the beginning of the COVID-19 health crisis, but managed to recover and even thrive as the pandemic is still going (and will keep going for a long time). Learn what’s all the buzz around cryptos about and why Bitcoin is in everybody’s wishlist. 

As we begin the next half 2020, we have to face the fact that, whether it’s scary or exciting, the future is now. In Mark Haseeb’s words: “It’s going to be a fundamental fixture of the economical landscape”. Listen to this rich conversation and experience how the sci-fi world we’ve been imagining for decades is slowly unfolding before our eyes. Cryptocurrencies are real, and they are here to stay.

Key Takeaways: 

  • What are cryptocurrencies and how have they been incorporated into the financial world?
  • How the COVID-19 crisis could accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies all over the world. 
  • How governments’ regulations could work hand in hand with cryptocurrencies.
  • The concept of ICOs and why the majority of them collapsed back in 2018.
  • Why Bitcoin is so valuable and attractive to the general public.
  • How cryptos could transform the relationships between governments and their citizens in the future.
  • Haseeb’s top 3 chosen cryptos for the future (warning: this isn’t investment advice!).
