The Language of Power: Crypto Democracy

In this episode, host Paul Taylor explores how cryptocurrency, once seen as fringe “funny money,” is now influencing democracy and financial systems. Paul Taylor is joined by guests Joe Litobarski and Alice Stollmeyer to unpack how crypto works, its regulation or lack thereof, and its political implications, especially under the second Trump administration. Debating whether crypto is empowering citizens or undermining states, this episode shares critical insights into crypto’s risks, benefits, and what Europe should do in response.

With Paul Taylor, EPC's senior visiting fellow for the Europe in the World programme and podcast host, Joe Litobarski from Maastricht University and Alice Stollmeyer, founder and executive director at Defend Democracy.
