    Tina Bhatnagar, Preethi Kasireddy, Lily Liu, Kim Milosevich, Bianca, Teresa

    Recorded at the April 2018 "Intro to Crypto" event, this panel featured Coinbase VP Tina Butnagher, TrueStory CEO Preethi Khatri, and Earn.com co-founder Lily Liu to debunk myths regarding decentralization extremes, safety for women, and the ideological nature of the sector. The participants outlined how institutional adoption is forcing compliance infrastructure, how token-based incentives enable sovereign company models, and how the industry is pivoting from speculation toward utility-focused applications like labor monetization and truth verification. Concluding with a call for rigorous due diligence and the translation of mainstream tech skills, the discussion emphasized the necessity of regulatory collaboration and ethical stewardship as crypto transitions into a consumer-facing market.
