Ep 42 | The Decentralized Internet with Dr. Tomicah Tillemann of Andreessen Horowitz

Ep 41 | Building an Open Source Music Community with Roneil Rumburg of Audius

Richard Stallman, a Harvard educated software engineer, joined the MIT AI Lab in 1971 to help develop computing platforms… however the AI Lab shut down later in the 80’s as their talent was lost to the private sector.Seeing how closed, proprietary software was on the rise, Richard used the knowledge he had accumulated over the years to create public, open source software… Software that users could operate, debug, modify or tweak without altering the initial distribution terms.This movement: open source code… is now colliding with the world of digital commerce.Audius, a new, open source music streaming platform gives musicians the same rights to their distribution… And users can leverage programmable money like USDC to exchange value and services on the platform.In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Roneil Rumburg, Co-Founder, and CEO of Audius. They discuss: 👉 The concept of distributed, open source software👉 How the Audius system works👉 How tokens on the Audius network provide economic incentives👉 How Audius is incentivizing protocol distribution👉 The use of USDC and AUDIO in the context of Audius👉 USDC and Solana👉 The future of AUDIUS If you’re a music, tech or crypto aficionado, and want to see how these worlds are merging in front of our eyes, or just curious about the real life application of a utility token, tune into 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 Roneil here: 👉 Website: https://audius.co👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roneilr  About the show The global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.

Ep 38 | DeFi’s Institutional Moment with Johann Bornman of Metamask & Pierre Legrand of 11:FS

In the early days of the internet, the Italian government was opposed to the fact that anyone could have a website and in the United States, Congress tried to pass a law to say that you needed an FCC License to have a website. It used to be a radical idea that the internet should be open…Now DeFi is doing the same for the financial economy, as protocols built atop public blockchain networks radically increase efficiency and transparency while widening the aperture on who can participate in the global financial system. But are decades-old financial regulations holding back DeFi’s institutional moment?  In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy joins Johann Bornman, Institutional Product Lead at ConsenSys Metamask on a panel hosted by Pierre Legrand, Partner, Consulting & Research, 11:FS. They cover: 👉 Whether it should it be the government's obligation to allow DeFi to flourish👉 DeFi versus CBCD’s👉 The future of stablecoin regulationIf you’re a crypto native… or just want to learn more about where this insanely rapidly expanding space is heading, tune into 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  About the show The global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.

Ep 37 | The Metaverse & Future Human Potential with Michael Wagner, Co-founder & CEO of Star Atlas

The metaverse can be a puzzling concept. Is it just an immersive gaming experience or a type of virtual reality? No – it’s much more. The metaverse is taking hold in gaming but has wide-ranging implications for art, culture, finance, “corporate” governance, the future of work, and more. In short, the metaverse will change the way people globally interact and generate economic activity. Just as public blockchains allow for a new, global economic infrastructure for shared truth, digital property, and economic interactions, the metaverse immerses people into a brave new world. To help illuminate the metaverse, not just the concept but also the adoption cycle, the risks and rewards, and why it’ll work best if it becomes a global public utility, we are joined this week on The Money Movement by Michael Wagner, Co-founder and CEO (and often called Captain) of Star Atlas. Star Atlas is a grand strategy game of space exploration, territorial conquest, political domination, and more. It has played an important role in helping grow adoption of Solana.About the show.The global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change.
