I really enjoyed talking to Thiago and I hope you will enjoy the conversation too.
Key take aways
- Some places, like São Paulo in Brazil, are black holes attracting everything and everyone there. They prevent other cities to develop. It's not a virtue circle.
- There is far more access to information, but more people are misinformed. But that may be easier to solve. I'm addicted to youtube, because of in depth content.
- Our connection to gadgets lessen our connection to people and this tends to get worse because of addictive nature of this apps. We need open algorithms marketplaces.
- Money is amazing! It is a voting mechanism which allows you to decide whether something should continue. I wanted to help unbias decisions regarding money.
- The financial brazilian system was analogical and unwelcome to competition. Regulators fostered digital innovation as a way to promote competition.
