Beyond Bitcoin Ep 65 (video) - BlockFi files for bankruptcy, Genesis could be next, and Grayscale reserves in question. Is this the master purge Cefi in the blockchain world needs? Dec 01, 2022

The need for regulation of centralised finance exchanges and funds is now obvious. The irony is they do not need to exist in a truely decentralised world. We discuss what might be needed to support this "transitional technology" and start protecting the assets of investors in centralised exchanges and funds. Join Nitin Gaur and me discussion the need for a purge and what might come next.

Beyond Bitcoin Ep 64 (video) -Is this the end of crypto? Of course not. Investment adviser Andrew Tang talks about macroeconomic view of crypto and what regulations will make a difference. Nov 24, 2022

With The Economist headlining – “Is this the death of Crypto?” and the New York Times opinion piece citing Tulip Fever – again – we wonder if these commentators of traditional finance may well be telling us that we are now at the bottom of the market. The reasons for the SBF / FTX failure are due to fraud, misappropriation of customer assets, over leverage, poor accounting, lack of transparency, etc none of which are cryptocurrency or decentralisation failures.

Beyond Bitcoin Podcast Ep 63 (audio) - The magic of Bitcoin mining and what makes it so much more than just a power consumer. On off in 60 seconds – decentralised to green energy locations. Nov 17, 2022

Our special guest today, Chris Molloy, Founder of Digital Infrastructure Associates, often refers to Bitcoin miners as the Dung Beetles of the energy market crawling around looking for unused power or power wastage. With the ability to turn on or off 60-100 megawatts of power (the equivalent of an aluminium smelter) to moderate the power consumption on the grid. Power companies and energy suppliers are starting to see a symbiotic relationship with miners and how it could form part of their business models. Join us for a discussion of how an isolated island like Tasmania off the south coast of Australia can play a role in the global decentralised world of bitcoin mining.

Beyond Bitcoin Ep 62 (audio) - FTX Agrees to Sell Itself to Rival Binance. Is the Driver Robust Competition or Opaque Disclosures and Why Has the Market Reacted So Strongly. Nov 10, 2022

As the credibility of the crypto asset class takes another hit prices are down and we ask the question; is this about disclosure or corporate opportunity? Alameda a wholly owned subsidiary of FTX with what was considered a robust balance sheet turns out to hold mostly digital assets either created by FTX or funded by FTX. Tradfi is likely to dine on this for weeks but for the world’s newest asset class it is likely to be another case of growing pains.

Beyond Bitcoin Ep 61 (audio) - Web 3 - VC investment and projects trends. - Perspectives from Principal at Blockrocket - Sagar Barvaliya Nov 03, 2022

Great Conversation with Sagar Barvaliya - a Investor, where he shared his perspective on builders and projects.

Sagar has an interesting journey he shared with us, he was trained as an engineer and previously worked for Porsche and start-up accelerators before deciding to go "all-in" into the crypto space. As an Engineer, He was always close to building something and the actual job of a civil engineer is to build bridges and Houses, Now he is building the bridges in Web3. He is a Chief Networking officer/Principal at Blockrocket and helps portfolio startups with 360 degree advisory.

We dissected into VC investment and projects trends, where Out of all the overarching sectors in the blockchain industry in decentralized finance (DeFi,) centralized finance (CeFi,) blockchain infrastructure, Web3 and nonfungible tokens (NFT,) DeFi was basically always king for VC capital inflows. That all changed in Q2, when Web3 garnered around 42% of all the individual deals, leaving DeFi in a far distant second at 16%. This trend was highlighted further when analyzing the most active investors, who made around 42% of all deal activity for Q2, a drop from 65% in Q1.

Our discussion focused on what is shaping the industry and a Venture perspective.

Big investment, banking and administrative institutions see digital assets as both threat and opportunity and are seeking to be central and relevant in a space which is largely decentralised. Will this work in the long term?

Resistance is Futile, you will be assimilated. Words from the Borg to the small Star Ship "Blockchain" but will institutions try to assimilate blockchain solutions or will the technology ultimately be too efficient for them to compete? This week we discussed the entry of the big institutional exchanges, fund managers and administrators and see if their engagement in the DLT world is part of the legacy transition of the technology and the generations that are using it or a long-term claim to maintain the relevance of the giants in the digital realm.

The Eth Merge, and the arrival of intuitional grade “equities-like” trading platforms for crypto. Are these tipping points for large amounts of liquidity to enter the realm of crypto assets?

At just US$1trillion capitalisation crypto-assets are the smallest asset class of the big 5, so small that the challenge will be absorbing large volumes of investment when it comes. Today we discuss both the merge and what impact big inflows might cause. Join Deryck Graham and Nitin Gaur for a quick tech discussion on Eth Merge and a thesis on what could it mean when too many trillions chase crypto.

The Ethereum 2.0 upgrade will bring with it a switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake. Already $21 billion of Eth is locked up and returning validators at 4.56%. JPMorgan Chase estimates that by 2025 Ethereum 2.0 could create a $40-billion staking industry. But OFAC sanctions, the threat of censorship and MAV inefficiencies lay waiting to be exploited or resolved.

This week's discussion is on Digital legacy, which is very much a web3.0 agenda, the question of not just the preserving and passing of generational wealth via constructs such as will and estate planning, but how do we deal with our digital legacy in this increasingly digital world. Transitioning from Digital legacy to Crypto legacy, which is a passing on wealth in this digital age, what are the challenges and I often times, I wonder if we are creating similar institutions for crypto that exists today or simply extending current institutions as a transitional shift to pure transforming digital agenda! Listen from our guest, Sree Chintala CEO and founder of Clocr — has envisioned this problem a few years back and committed past few years to addressing it. And finally agenda for next week: Consensus 2022 is being held in Austin,- my hometown and I am looking forward to several events and session esp. around “money reimagined’ and “web3.0 and Metaverse”. Which is slated for Day1 and Day 2 With over 15000 people flocking it will be a busy week eating into our weekend. Just like WEF and Davos I will provide a narrative and report post the event, so stay tuned.

Welcome to the realm of the gleefully ill-informed (traditional fund managers) and the general press and media. Today we clarify for these people that Doge coin is not the same as Ethereum, that all tokens are not currencies and that knowledge of Tokenomics is core to understanding crypto-assets. Yes the space is some $1.5T dollars down over the past 12 months, a figure about the same as what the top FAAG stocks lost in the past 5 months, just to give some global perspective. Join us for a passionate view about getting things in perspective.

Beyond Bitcoin Ep 37 (video) - Market Vol & Terra Luna Collapse May 17, 2022

From a global macroeconomic point of view, traditional equity markets have seen increased volatility and weakness due to a confluence of factors. Add the Terra Luna collapse and we have seen high levels of volatility in the crypto-asset markets. We discuss both in detail.

Our view is that the crypto assets space continues to show very positive signs of both exponential user base growth and substantial VC funding commitment and that this space is likely to de-couple its correlation to the traditional equities markets and continue its rapid growth commensurate with that of a new asset class.

Beyond Bitcoin Ep 35 (audio) - The Art of Applying Data Science to Crypto Market Data May 05, 2022

And the results are amazing! Data in any real market tells a story, explains the unexplainable, and, sometimes, raises more questions that lead to a deeper understanding! Crypto markets and the data that they generate are no different, as they are riddled with complexity, paradox, and at times revealing insights hiding in plain sight! In this podcast we speak to Petros Zerfos, a quantitative research scientist and a financial services industry scholar to help us better understand the challenges and opportunities in this emerging area. He shared his perspectives and experience, and, above all, a simplified understanding of this enormously complex topic. This is a must listen!

Like so much of what is rapidly evolving in the diverse world of digital assets the Security Token Offerings (STO’s) are both a new construct for the digital world and a bridge between traditional fund-raising exchanges. The difference is STO’s operate like a global exchange might without the size of investment and country of origin becoming the fences that corral investors. Like STM says – They take the Wall away from Wall Street. Enjoy the continued journey into the realm of digital assets.

Beyond Bitcoin Ep 25 (Audio) - Are Stablecoins Actually Causing Volatility? Feb 24, 2022

We explore the role Stablecoins might play in increasing volatility through correlation with traditional markets and what this means for two parallel financial systems.

Consider this, the high yields in crypto markets is to attract liquidity, and while the risk-on risk-off equation at play will attract capital and issuance of Stablecoins it also inherits the mechanics of the global macro, which implies that any shifts in traditional finance capital markets such as interest rates, money supply, inflation etc. which plays an important role in calculus that goes into asset valuation may begin to impact the crypto market which in principle is meant to be independent and disruptive.

Do these coins present the best opportunity for DeFi to solve the Stablecoin trilemma of scalability, decentralization and efficiency but is there a better way? This equation is worth the study and interesting, but also ironic.
