175. Insights: Getting to the bottom of Decentralised Exchanges Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Cuy Sheffield are back this week for another deep dive - where we are going to be taking a look at the world of Decentralised Exchanges, aka DEXs.

In this show, we wanted to start at the very beginning and explore what DEXs are, how they compare to their centralised counterpart, the user benefits of using a DEX, the differences in business model between DEX and CEX, and the potential downsides too.

With the market is going through its Eron/Lehman/Bear Stearns moment, we also couldn't help but take a look at what the future will hold for DEXs, and what kind of progress we're hoping to see with DEXs over the next 2-3 years.

Show notes

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Cuy Sheffield are back this week for another deep dive - taking a deeper look at DAOs!

It’s been almost a year since we published Insights episode 146 - Deconstructing DAOs.

But, the world of DAOs is ever-evolving, and we thought that it’s about time we revisit the topic to see what progress they have made - and now shift the focus to consumers in that context.

How do consumers go about learning more about the space? What challenges do they face? How are they addressed? And of course, what can they expect from the future?

169. Insights: How can web3 change the film industry? Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Cuy Sheffield are back this week for another deep dive, this time into all things film and web3.

We have already covered design and music as NFTs and how they change in this space, but what about perhaps the most popular and consumed form of art? How will film change in the world of web3, and has it already started?

The film industry and the Hollywood machine has been known as ‘a rich man’s playground’ - with power dynamics showing Hollywood often favours the rich, and more often that not - men.

Will web3 be able to bring on a new era of inclusivity, diversity, and equitable compensation for filmmakers?
