Blockchain in the (Trad-Fi) Insurance Industry w/ Brendan Picha (RiskStream Collaborative)
Guest: Brendan Picha (LinkedIn: brendanpicha)
Host: Rex (Twitter: @LogarithmicRex)
I recently heard a comment on a crypto news show about the crypto community on Twitter being in a bubble, which resonated with me as it highlighted the echo chamber effect I often experience. To gain a different perspective, I contacted an old friend, Brendan Picha, who has a history of advocating for Bitcoin and digital currency in large companies like Anheuser-Busch and Liberty Mutual. Brendan is now a senior leader in The Institutes RiskStream Collaborative, a nonprofit organization that educates and integrates blockchain solutions for the insurance industry. The conversation focuses on bridging filter bubbles, gaining insights into blockchain's purpose in insurance, and the distinction between blockchain in insurance and Ethereum.
