Blockchain and financial applications have been linked from the beginning. When Satoshi Nakamato published the original Bitcoin white paper in 2008, he titled it, “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” Today, the lion’s share of crypto headlines are about financial losses. So it’s understandable that people associate chains with financial assets. But open, public blockchains have massive utility beyond financial applications. One of the first innovators to recognize this potential was Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin*. In Ethereum, the Russian-Canadian computer programmer has conceived, developed, and upgraded a decentralized chain with smart-contract functionality and made it into a transformative piece of infrastructure that enables new forms of political, corporate, and social organizations. (USDC circulates on many blockchains; as of January 12, 2023, a majority of the supply circulates on Ethereum.)In a conversation they recorded this past September in San Francisco at Converge22, Circle’s inaugural ecosystem summit, Vitalik and Jeremy Allaire reviewed Ethereum’s important technological progress, impediments to scaling utility, and the new models of cooperation this base layer of trust can enable. Their Money Movement episode covers:👉 [00:00:45] Moving from speculative value to utility value 👉 [00:01:33] Ethereum's scalability challenges👉 [00:03:32] Forthcoming Ethereum upgrades 👉 [00:05:50] Humanity’s hope to escape the splinternet👉 [00:07:17 ] Keeping base layers neutral👉 [00:13:11] Importance of non-financial applications👉 [00:13:58] Coercion-resistant voting👉 [00:14:53] New ways to organize labor and capital👉 [00:18:37] Zero-knowledge-proof communities👉 [00:22:07] Decentralized science projects👉 [00:23:02] DAO-based governance👉 [00:25:34] Law of code vs. law of nation-statesIf you’re interested in learning more about Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin’s vision, non-financial use cases for blockchain, and how humanity can escape the splinternet, tune in to this episode of The Money Movement. *Vitalik Buterin is the co-founder of Ethereum, a blockchain that circulates the majority of USDC supply.Subscribe here:👉 YouTube: https://bit.ly/3lUcJFN 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3G3CrPZ 👉 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3lUd6jF 👉 Email: https://bit.ly/3aXWYY5 And connect with Vitalik here:👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vitalik-buterin-267a7450/ 👉 Personal Website:https://vitalik.ca/ 👉 Website: https://ethereum.orgAbout the showThe global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.

Secretary of the Treasury. Director of the National Economic Council. President of Harvard University. Washington Post columnist. Economist Larry Summers has held some of the most prestigious roles in public life. Across them all, Dr. Summers has brought an unflinching commitment to incisive observations, even when they cut against the grain.On the major global macroeconomic issues of our time, Summer’s views aren’t always the popular ones, but they are not easily dismissed. Summer’s leadership in the Obama White House in the aftermath of the 2007-2008 financial crisis gives him special insight into the importance of effective regulation of financial markets. Understanding how policymakers should regulate stablecoins was the subject of a fireside chat between Jeremy Allaire and Larry Summers this past September at Converge22, Circle’s inaugural ecosystem summit. (Dr. Summers was compensated for his appearance at Converge22.) They discussed:👉 [09:23] Regulating stablecoins and other digital assets👉 [10:33] Lessons from automobile safety👉 [15:06] Problems with a two-category system of banks and non-banks👉 [22:15] Advantages of US dollar-based systemsIf you’re interested in understanding the frameworks of financial regulation, tune in to this episode of The Money Movement.  Subscribe here:👉 YouTube: https://bit.ly/3lUcJFN 👉 Apple: https://apple.co/3G3CrPZ 👉 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3lUd6jF 👉 Email: https://bit.ly/3aXWYY5 And connect with Dr. Summers here:👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/lhsummers  👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrence-h-summers-a2a21a12👉 Website: http://larrysummers.comAbout the showThe global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.
