Supply, demand and contrasting approaches to security in critical metals.Panellists:        Kathleen Claussen, Professor of Law, Georgetown Law  Simon Evenett, Professor of International Trade and Economic Development, St. Gallen University; Founder of the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity Through Trade   Moderator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute  This podcast episode was recorded on 27 February 2024.  The 2024 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the theme of ‘Back to the Future: A New Era of Managed Trade?'  Alongside decarbonisation, the digital transition is leading to higher demand for specialty metals and rare earths elements. With the chemical properties of cobalt, lithium and gallium amongst others being crucial to the production of advanced technologies, and the lack of substitutes, these critical metals are imported from abroad from specific locations.  This concentration of resources, and the consequently increased risk of disruption, has led to concerns about these supply chains being weaponised or leveraged as tools of economic coercion by a producing or processing country. Given the strategic importance to them both of these critical metals, how can the EU and the US secure their access?  This episode explores the dynamics of trade flows in critical resources from both European and US perspectives.   Related content from GTS Contributors:  Report – Authors: Simon Evenett and Johannes Fritz | The Scramble for Critical Raw Materials: Time to Take Stock?  Blog – Author: Kathleen Claussen | What is a Free Trade Agreement, Anyway?

Where does globalisation go from here? Changing dynamics of the global trade landscape Panellists:        Cecilia Malmström, former European Commissioner for Trade; Nonresident Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics   Jeongmin Seong, Partner, McKinsey Global Institute (MGI)   Deborah Elms, Founder and Executive Director, Asian Trade Centre     Moderator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute   This podcast episode was recorded on 2 November 2023. The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape.   A major theme of the year in global trade has been the reshaping of global value chains and the consequent rise in supply chain risk. In response, policy-makers have focused on economic security - reducing unwanted economic dependencies and mitigating the risk of economic coercion.  This has helped fuel industrial policy, given new significance to the use of subsidies, and encouraged diversification and 'friend shoring'. Yet for all this, global trade is continuing. So how much change has actually taken place? Is the world de-globalising? And how have these trends manifested in Asia, Europe and the Americas?   In this podcast, the GTS 2023 season finale, experts discuss how global trade flows are evolving and assess the outlook for the continued regionalisation of trade in 2024. ___________________________________________ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aspen Institute Germany⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chatham House (UK)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clingendael Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (The Netherlands); ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(US); ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jacques Delors Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (France); ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Japan) and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Regional competition or global harmonisation? Panellists:        Anu Bradford, Professor of Law and International Organization, Columbia University Karen Kornbluh, Distinguished Fellow for Technology and Competitiveness, German Marshall Fund   Moderator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute   This podcast episode was recorded on 26 October 2023.   The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape.   The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence and other data driven services will have a transformative impact on world trade.  At the same time, expanding regulation of the digital economy – be it related to AI, concerns around disinformation or cyber security - will also have profound implications for the way trade is conducted.  In this context the issue of who sets the standards for the global digital economy - and how it is regulated - becomes critical, especially as standard setters often have a material advantage in the market.   So how can different approaches to digital regulation be reconciled against a backdrop of geopolitical tension and macroeconomic insecurity? What is the risk of the digital trade space becoming more fragmented? And what does this mean for the future of trade overall? ___________________________________________ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aspen Institute Germany⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chatham House (UK)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clingendael Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (The Netherlands); ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(US); ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jacques Delors Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (France); ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Japan) and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Recorded live from the WTO Public Forum 2023 Panellists:  Angela Ellard, WTO Deputy Director-General   Jennifer Hillman, Professor, IIEL at Georgetown Law; Co-Director of The Center on Inclusive Trade and Development, Georgetown Law   Stormy-Annika Mildner, Executive Director, Aspen Institute Germany   Moderator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute   This podcast episode was recorded on 13 September 2023. The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape. This special episode of the GTS was recorded at the headquarters of global trade – the WTO in Geneva - during its annual Public Forum in September. With the theme ‘It's Time For Action', the 2023 WTO Public Forum brought delegates and trade experts together to assess the state of trade multilateralism. Many of these discussions focused on how trade can contribute to tackling climate change and promoting sustainability. A new sense of urgency was palpable this year. The 2023 WTO Global Trade Report, launched during the Public Forum, also raised concerns about the regionalisation or even fragmentation of the trade landscape. Protectionist tendencies remain strong and proliferating subsidies are posing a challenge to multilateral rulemaking. At the same time, in a context of rising geopolitical tensions, trade policy is increasingly seen through a national security lens. Where does this gloomy outlook leave the WTO? What role can it play in reducing the risks of trade fragmentation and restoring the credibility and relevance of a rules-based system? ___________________________________________ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Aspen Institute Germany⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠Chatham House (UK)⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Clingendael Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠ (The Netherlands); ⁠⁠⁠⁠Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center ⁠⁠⁠⁠(US); ⁠⁠⁠⁠ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies⁠⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Jacques Delors Institute⁠⁠⁠⁠ (France); ⁠⁠⁠⁠RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Japan) and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Panellists: Nicholas Mulder, Assistant Professor of History, Cornell University Emily Benson, Director, Project on Trade and Technology and Senior Fellow, Scholl Chair in International Business, CSIS Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute This podcast episode was recorded on 8 August 2023. The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape. As the high tide of globalisation recedes, trade and economic interdependence are increasingly seen by governments through the lens of national security. The result is a greater readiness to use economic and trade instruments to protect national security and bolster national resilience. Trade policy is more and more influenced by the need to reduce critical supply chain dependencies and to resist economic coercion by antagonistic states. What implications does this growing defensiveness have for international trade flows and how will it impact the global trade landscape for the future? _______ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the ⁠⁠⁠Aspen Institute Germany⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠Chatham House (UK)⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠Clingendael Institute⁠⁠⁠ (The Netherlands); ⁠⁠⁠Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center ⁠⁠⁠(US); ⁠⁠⁠ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies⁠⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠⁠Jacques Delors Institute⁠⁠⁠ (France); ⁠⁠⁠RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry⁠⁠⁠ (Japan) and the ⁠⁠⁠St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade⁠⁠⁠ (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Die Weltfinanzkrise Ende der Nuller-Jahre beginnt als Immobilienkrise. Zu viele US-Bürger haben zu viele Immobilien gekauft, die Banken haben ihnen dafür bei niedrigen Zinsen leichtfertig Kredite ohne ausreichende Sicherheiten gegeben. Die Regeln auf dem Finanzmarkt waren damals so, dass sie damit scheinbar nicht viel riskierten. Doch dann steigen die Zinsen Mitte der Nuller-Jahre, viele Hausbesitzer können ihre Kredite nicht mehr abzahlen, verkaufen ihre Häuser – doch weil das viele auf einmal tun, gehen die Immobilienpreise in den Keller, Dadurch bekommen die Hausbesitzer für ihre Immobilien nicht mehr den ursprünglich gezahlten Preis und können ihre Schulden nicht mehr zurückzahlen. Und weil es viele sind – bekommen zunächst die Banken ein massives Problem – und schließlich die gesamte Weltwirtschaft. Die Bombe platzt am 15. September 2008, als die Großbank Lehman Brothers Konkurs anmeldet. Sie hat Schulden von 600 Milliarden US-Dollar. Wie schnell von da an die Finanzwirtschaft mitgerissen wird, verdeutlichen die folgenden Hintergrundberichte aus den ersten vier Tagen. An Tag zwei strauchelt schon der weltgrößte Versicherungskonzern, die American International Group. Und schließlich kommt heraus, dass die bundesdeutsche Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau noch am Morgen nach der Lehman-Insolvenz einen dreistelligen Millionenbetrag an die Pleitebank überwiesen hat.

Semiconductors, Trade and High-tech Cooperation: Economic, political and supply chain pressures Panellists: Martijn Rasser, Managing Director, Datenna Yasuhiko Ota, Columnist and TV news commentator, Nikkei Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute This podcast episode was recorded on 10 July 2023. The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisationon the global trade landscape. As critical enablers of economic growth, technological development and national security, semiconductors have become an area of intense competition between states.  But the insecurity of semiconductor supply chains exposed during the Covid 19 pandemic, and highlighted since by growing geopolitical tension, is also driving new forms of international cooperation around semiconductor production and supply.  What is the balance between these two trends and how is it reflected in global trade relations? This episode discusses the geopolitics of semiconductor production – including export controls, state subsidies, friend shoring and new multilateral initiatives – and how they are reflected in trade and trade policy.  The focus is on two key players in the field: Japan and the USA. _______ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the ⁠⁠Aspen Institute Germany⁠⁠; ⁠⁠Chatham House (UK)⁠⁠; ⁠⁠CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠Clingendael Institute⁠⁠ (The Netherlands); ⁠⁠Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center ⁠⁠(US); ⁠⁠ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies⁠⁠; the ⁠⁠Jacques Delors Institute⁠⁠ (France); ⁠⁠RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry⁠⁠ (Japan) and the ⁠⁠St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade⁠⁠ (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

For this episode, Danny sat down to talk with successful entrepreneur and business owner, Terrill Vidale. Terrill Vidale's life began in humble circumstances, born in Charlotte, NC, to parents from Trinidad and Tobago. For the first 12 years of his life, Terrill lived in Trinidad. After his parents' divorce, he and his siblings moved in with their mother, who was a full-time college student and unable to find employment, leading them to live in a homeless shelter. During our conversation, Terrill talks about working hard from a young age, doing odd jobs, and excelling in sales positions at National City Bank and later at American International Group. In 2013, Terrill founded 2Deep Entertainment in Youngstown, Ohio, and since then, the company has worked with prominent artists like Gucci Mane and Meek Mill, organized fashion shows, magic shows, and guest speaker events. 2Deep Entertainment has grown to collaborate with notable companies like B.E.T, Reebok, and McDonald's. Terrill's success has extended beyond entertainment, as he has also established 2Deep Estates, Focus, and GAI Capital Group. In 2018, he married his partner, Ashley Vidale. Despite his challenging upbringing, Terrill has persevered and achieved remarkable success, positively impacting his community and the world of entertainment. Talk about resilience.

Food Security and Global Trade: Impacting the supply of agricultural goods. Panellists: Emily Rees, President and CEO, CropLife International Marion Jansen, Director, Trade and Agriculture Directorate (TAD), OECD Moderator: Rem Korteweg⁠, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute This podcast episode was recorded on 30 June 2023. The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape. With Russia's invasion of Ukraine leading to export restrictions on both Ukrainian grain and Russian fertilizer, food prices - and subsequently inflation - rose significantly. The IMF notes that food insecurity has been rising since 2018 as a result of increasing climate shocks, regional conflicts and the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted food production and distribution while driving up food prices.  While particularly affecting developing economies - which are generally more dependent on food imports - there are also serious concerns in the developed world about food security, including the issues of climate impact and new trade measures. What are the most important factors shaping the global trade in agricultural goods? How is this impacting on greater food security? And can the frictions, the restrictions and imbalances in the trade in agricultural goods be addressed multilaterally? The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the ⁠Aspen Institute Germany⁠; ⁠Chatham House (UK)⁠; ⁠CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations⁠; the ⁠Clingendael Institute⁠ (The Netherlands); ⁠Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center ⁠(US); ⁠ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies⁠; the ⁠Jacques Delors Institute⁠ (France); ⁠RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry⁠ (Japan) and the ⁠St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade⁠ (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

What are the dynamics shaping Southeast Asian trade policies? Panellists: Lili Yan Ing, Lead Advisor (Southeast Asia Region), ERIA - the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia Cyn-Young Park, Director, Economic Research and Regional Cooperation Department, Asian Development Bank Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute This podcast episode was recorded on 24 May 2023 The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape. Growing at a rapid pace, the 10 economies of Southeast Asia now collectively form the fifth largest economy globally - behind the US, China, Germany, and Japan. While intraregional trade is increasing - thanks to the new RCEP regional trade agreement that includes China, extra regional trade beyond Southeast Asia is booming. On RSEP, ASEAN took the lead in making this trade agreement happen, which entered into force on 1 st January 2022 and currently covers over 30% of global trade. The most important trading partners of ASEAN are the United States, the European Union, and China - the largest trading partner by far. However, these three trading blocks aim to increase resilience, diversify supplies and reduce their strategic dependencies, which may translate to decreasing their trade exposure to one another. Is ASEAN being caught in the middle? What is shaping ASEAN 's role in global trade, and how will outside dynamics impact it? As supply chain resilience becomes a major discussion point in Southeast Asia, how is ASEAN itself influenced by the supply shocks in the international trading system?

A Trade Powerhouse of South America Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Victor do Prado, Senior Fellow, CEBRI Antonella Mori, Head, Latin America Programme, ISPI This podcast episode was recorded on 17 April 2023 The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape. With President Lula having returned to office on 1 st January, expectations are raised of a new and positive Brazilian approach to trade, including a possible revival of the EU Mercosur FTA deal. An important voice in the G20 and a key member of the BRICS emerging economies, Brazil's trade increased significantly in 2022 - due in part to higher prices - and forms an increasingly important part of its overall GDP. However, much of this trade leverages the country's mineral and agricultural wealth, raising environmental protection and sustainability concerns. From U.S. and European perspectives, how will Brazil's foreign policy be shaped by the country's relationship with China, as its main trading partner? What does Brasilia make of growing trade tensions between the U.S. and China? How is Brazil dealing with the shift towards greater regionalisation or even trade fragmentation? The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the Aspen Institute Germany; Chatham House (UK); CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations; the Clingendael Institute (The Netherlands); Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown University Law Center (US); the International Chamber of Commerce (UK and France); ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies; the Jacques Delors Institute (France); RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan) and the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Is the Climate Agenda driving a wedge through Global Trade Cooperation? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Elvire Fabry, Senior Research Fellow, Jacque Delors Institute Alan Beattie, Senior Trade Writer, The Financial Times This podcast episode was recorded on 17 March 2023 The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape. The United States Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which combines climate policy and industrial policy, caused immediate concerns in Europe. With significant implications for European competitiveness and impact on its Green Deal ambitions, the EU responded primarily with state aid rules relaxation to encourage European green tech firms to stay put. How will the EU and the US resolve this green subsidy dispute? How can trade and the climate agenda go together? With an increased use of subsidies by the US and Europe, what are the broader implications for the future of multilateral rules-based trade?

Listen as they discuss globalisation and its future.  2022 was expected to be the year of the post pandemic recovery. Instead, there have been interest rate hikes across the board, the return of economic nationalism, inflation spiking in many developed economies and supply chain concerns.

Instead, there have been interest rate hikes across the board, the return of economic nationalism, inflation spiking in many developed economies and supply chain concerns. In discussing the most notable developments of the past year in the world of trade, what do they tell us about the future ahead? Rather than deglobalisation, is global trade being reordered increasingly along regional lines?

How are medium powers impacted by the shifting global trading system? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panelists: Sam Lowe, Partner and Head of Trade and Market Access Practice, Flint Global Dr Taeho Bark, President, Lee & Ko Global Commerce Institute This podcast episode was recorded on 16 August 2022 The 2022 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the competition and connectedness that characterise the current trade landscape. In this podcast, Rem Korteweg (Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute) is joined by Sam Lowe (Partner and Head of Trade and Market Access Practice, Flint Global) and Dr Taeho Bark (President, Lee & Ko Global Commerce Institute). Listen as they discuss what role can middle powers play in moving global trade forward. Earlier episodes have discussed the tremendous strain on the global trade system since the pandemic. With supply chains being reordered and national security concerns driving quasi-protectionist policies, there is a risk of the system fragmenting into a series of regulatory blocs. Where would that leave important trading powers that pursue independent trade policies but are invariably affected by the action of the major global players, the US, China and the EU? What role can these middle powers play in salvaging globalisation and renewing multilateralism? And how are they responding to the challenge, both individually and in collaboration with others?

Jonathan Dickson About the artist Born in Dublin, Jonathan is a Kildare based visual artist. After graduating from the National College of Art and Design in 1991 he went on to lead a successful career as a multi-award winning illustrator and designer. During 2006 he dedicated himself to further artistic development outside the design industry. Positive reaction to work created subsequently led him to make the decision to leave this career behind and commit full time to painting. Since then he has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions. His work is held in public, corporate and private collections in Ireland, Europe and the USA. He has also been the recipient of a number of public, corporate and private commissions. Artist statement I paint and document what I experience around me (the visceral as much as the visual) as acutely as I can. Certain places and objects I experience resonate and won't let me go until I work through them, sometimes I know why during the process and sometimes the obsession is revealed afterwards. I'm ever increasingly aware that hindsight reveals far more about my work than anything I could ever conceive up front and I'm happy to allow this to continue (for now). Allied to this I have a deep curiosity about the nature of perception and memory (both visual and conceptual) and how it affects the subjects that call to me.

James Fahy, with his co-founder, Ciara Walsh are the brains behind the most flexible and robust cashless tip payment service on the market. As the Covid pandemic was at its height, James had noticed that cash was literally disappearing from sight as the whole world embraced digital and mobile based payment systems. As a result, when businesses finally started to reopen, thousands of service and hospitality staff saw their income drastically reduced because no one had any cash to tip. In addition, the customers that added a tip to the bill often did not know if their server got the tip. James realised that something had to be done and JUSTTIP™ was born in July 2021 Since then, James and Ciara have successfully on boarded over 160 locations across Ireland and built an executive management team brimming with talent and experience. But that was just the start; Justtip is now live in London and Las Vegas.

Jamil chats with Demian Klenk As a lifelong globe trotter and adventurer, Demian has lived a unique lifestyle that afforded him the time to become the knowledgeable expert he is today. As an autodidact, he has spent the last 10 years becoming obsessively engulf in crypto and fintech from trading to market theory.
