Building a digital bank w. DAG Global

A really great conversation with James and Graham from 'ID Theory' a thematic crypto investment vehicle. We discuss the journey James and Graham went on from being a genetic scientist and a poker entrepreneur respectively to the leaders of their newly launched crypto focussed investment fund. Amongst other things we cover how the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space has developed over the last 6 years and where it is heading in the near term. Do you think of blockchain as a product of Darwinian selection? The ID Theory guys do and their thesis is well worth a read! https://medium.com/id-theory/on-the-origin-of-blockchains-part-i-33ee84623510 If you're listening to this, you are the resistance...   ***Sponsor 1*** @macrodesiac_ https://manage.campaignzee.com/y1svNo4Scl So we have a new sponsor and we are really excited about this one – it’s Macrodesiac, the man, the myth, the legend himself, David Belle.

Crypto regulation w. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce

We spoke to Dan Held from Interchange about his views on Bitcoin and how the narratives have evolved over time. Dan also gave us insight into his article series 'Planting Bitcoin' and offered his views on what Bitcoin should mean to each individual.
