Ep 73 | Crypto’s Future After FTX, with Angie Lau of Forkast.News

The sudden collapse of the crypto exchange FTX last week was shocking. It’s arguably on par with Enron or Lehman Brothers in terms of the people it hurt, its cascading impact on the industry, and the regulatory changes it could spur.To help draw timely lessons, Jeremy Allaire sat down with Angie Lau, a veteran journalist who is Editor-in-Chief, CEO, and Founder of Forkast.News, is a media outlet that covers emerging technology at the intersection of business, economy, and politics. While there’s much we’re still learning about FTX, Angie and Jeremy identified several insights:Great companies are built on more than talent and technology. They must have rigorous financial, security, operational, and compliance controls to mitigate risks. This is best understood as a crisis of confidence, not a crisis of technology. Lack of regulatory standards has aided the rise of unregulated, and often off-shore, centralized financial institutions built on excess. We need to flush this out.Many crypto firms have forgotten what it is they’re trying to do. We must move away from the speculative value phase to the utility value phase. Boring is the new sexy. *Circle has invested in the media company Angie Lau founded, Forkast.News. Circle also paid a fee for Angie to speak at its inaugural ecosystem summit, Converge22.Angie and Jeremy cover:👉 [00:00:55] The initial shock over FTX’s collapse👉 [00:04:22] Lack of market conduct rules for offshore players👉 [00:09:24] The underlying purpose of blockchain technology👉 [00:11:30] How do we build the future on-chain👉 [00:19:30] Why USDC is safe 👉 [00:26:45] The need for robust, transparent controls 👉 [00:30:30] The shift toward self custodyIf you’re interested in learning about what’s next for the crypto ecosystem after the FTX collapse, 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 Angie here:👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/AngieTVLau 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angielau 👉 Website: https://forkast.news About the showThe global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.

Ep 72 | Exporting Economic Freedom with Brian Armstrong of Coinbase

Brian Armstrong is one of the crypto ecosystem’s most influential pioneers. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Coinbase, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, Brian has seen – and helped drive – the growth of blockchain-based networks from obscurity to widespread adoption.In their Money Movement conversation, Brian and Jeremy discussed how the crypto economy can extend global financial inclusion, economic freedom, and opportunity to millions who’ve been excluded. To take just one example, Brian shared how mortgages to buy homes are very difficult to obtain in Argentina. The result? Only the richest citizens own homes; the rest are limited to renting, shutting off one of the great sources of wealth creation. Brian believes crypto markets can vastly expand economic freedom and access to credit in places like Argentina, empowering a new culture of ownership and helping to dissolve decades of inequality.But to get there, Jeremy and Brian agreed, we must face what’s holding crypto back. One big “unlock,” in their view, is regulatory clarity. Another is the scalability of blockchains. They noted what the jump from dial-up to broadband made possible online. A third factor is a usability. Much of the current crypto interface, they said, is too difficult to use. Brian and Jeremy discussed the regulatory impulse to restrict open networks, fundamental rights that shouldn’t compromise in the name of fighting bad actors, and the importance of educating people about crypto’s enormous potential beyond the transfer of financial value.*Circle and Coinbase are co-founders of the Centre Consortium, a joint venture aimed at establishing a standard for fiat on the internet and providing a governance framework and network for the global, mainstream adoption of fiat stablecoins.In their Money Movement conversation, Brian and Jeremy cover:👉 [00:01:50] Challenges with crypto’s broader adoption👉 [00:03:00] Getting to scalability 👉 [00:08:47] Ways to standardize Identity 👉 [00:09:10] DAOs and their potential👉 [00:16:47] The future of lending on blockchains👉 [00:17:28] Unlocking DeFi 👉 [00:22:00] Creating standards for money, privacy, regulation, and identity👉 [00:29:25] Stablecoin regulations, self-custodial wallets and the evolution of crypto investorsIf you’re interested in learning more about blockchain’s global utility value, 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 Brian here:👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barmstrong👉 Website: http://www.coinbase.comAbout the showThe global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.

Ep 71 | On-Chain Credit & the Future of Lending with Ryan Berkun of Teller

Access to credit is fundamental for everyone who wishes to secure a better future for themselves. Yet millions of would-be borrowers worldwide lack this access, in part because they have little opportunity to build the kind of identity and reputation that lenders seek. Teller* Founder and CEO Ryan Berkun wants to disrupt this system. Ryan believes blockchain technology can dramatically expand access to credit, enabling people with limited capital to not only borrow with greater simplicity, but also build an on-chain identity and reputation that’s open, transparent, and portable. Ryan sees the merger of on-chain technologies with off-chain assets as the next great extension of the American dream. Home loans, auto loans, and even student loans and other personal debt could all eventually be supported with the types of marketplaces he’s cultivating. This emerging infrastructure could enable a new wave of financial inclusion and economic activity that offer the prospect of rising prosperity for millions while protecting their identity and privacy.*Teller is a Circle Customer with a Circle accountIn their Money Movement conversation, Ryan and Jeremy cover:👉 [00:01:16] On-chain, no-collateral lending👉 [00:05:43] Blockchain’s role in enabling global financial inclusion👉 [00:07:46] Teller’s trajectory👉 [00:10:55] Teller’s native crypto credit👉 [00:12:49] Dealing with risk in a lending market without collateral👉 [00:13:44] Teller as an enabling infrastructure for digital loans👉 [00:15:53] Multiple use cases of the evolving credit market👉 [00:18:05] Navigating identity on the blockchain👉 [00:19:55] Extending the reach of bridges to credit on-chains👉 [00:21:39] Adapting to regulationIf you’re interested in how blockchain can enable global financial inclusion, 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 Ryan here:👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanmberkun👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-berkun-47a61a10b👉 Website: https://teller.finance About the showThe global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.

Ep 70 | The Evolution of Digital Finance: From Speculative Value to Utility Value with Kevin O’Leary

Crypto has raised considerable interest for its potential to simplify the world's financial infrastructure, while also increasing access, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
