John is joined by Avichal Garg, Managing Partner of Electric Capital and Chairman of the Crypto Council for Innovation, and Emily Kapur, Co-Chair of Quinn Emanuel's Blockchain & Digital Asset Litigation Practice and partner in the firm's Silicon Valley office.  They discuss the complex legal and regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrency, digital assets, and the intersection with emerging technologies like AI. The decentralization and autonomy of crypto systems challenges traditional legal concepts.  Crypto technology—ranging from permissionless innovation to autonomous systems—raises foundational legal questions about jurisdiction, liability, and personhood, especially when code may function as both speech and money.  While early legal battles focused on whether tokens are securities, today's disputes often focus on jurisdictional issues and cross-border liability for autonomous systems with governance distributed around the world. U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins, while posing regulatory and competitive challenges, may also be an unparalleled tool for promoting U.S. soft power and economic influence.  They can bypass traditional banking systems and reach global users, reinforcing the dollar's dominance.  The recently enacted GENIUS Act provides a framework for regulating stablecoins in the U.S. without imposing restrictive reserve requirements, in contrast to European approaches. The rapid evolution of crypto trading venues—centralized exchanges like Coinbase, decentralized protocols like Uniswap, and traditional financial instruments such as ETFs and digital asset treasuries—highlight the legal uncertainty about which regulatory entities have jurisdiction.  The increasing use of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) poses additional challenges under theories that all participants in a DAO are potentially liable as partners in a joint venture. More legal innovation is needed, perhaps even entirely new legal entities or frameworks, to accommodate a future in which autonomous code can hold assets, transact, and potentially commit fraud.  Courts may begin to shape precedent in the absence of legislation, but a proactive regulatory approach or legal sandbox might be the key to responsibly managing these potentially disruptive forces. Ultimately, the question is whether the law will domesticate crypto or will crypto force legal innovation?Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Guest: Matthew Le Merle — CEO & Co-Founder of Blockchain Coinvestors, global blockchain VC, early investor in 1200+ startups (Coinbase, Kraken, OpenSea), author, and Silicon Valley board veteran. Background & Early Lessons: Matthew began his working life delivering newspapers as a child in rainy London, developing a lasting sense of responsibility and the importance of “seeing things through.” Earned a scholarship to Oxford for his academic and athletic excellence, then completed an MBA at Stanford. Built a career as a global advisor, executive, private equity leader, and later immersed himself in blockchain innovation. Blockchain Thesis: With 30+ years in Silicon Valley, Matthew saw the digital transformation of communication and content, but recognized a “missing link” for moving value securely over the internet. Blockchain/distributed ledger technology solved foundational challenges for digitizing finance — enabling secure, trustless, peer-to-peer transactions globally, overcoming flaws in traditional banking rails. Co-founded Blockchain Coinvestors, which invests via a fund-of-funds model across hundreds of VC funds and directly into more than 1,200 blockchain startups worldwide, spanning over 110 unicorns. Bitcoin's Future & Role: While he acknowledges that Bitcoin was a catalyst, Le Merle stresses it's the underlying technology's impact on payments, finance, and commerce that's world-changing. Believes Bitcoin (BTC) has enduring value as a store of value and “sovereign alternative” for people in unstable economies — sees it as “inevitable” that native digital finance will continue to grow globally. However, he notes BTC's long-term future depends on further technical evolution to enable faster, lower-cost, mass payments — real innovation will be when it is also digital money at global scale, not just a store of value. AI and the Arms Race: Sees both risk and opportunity in the intersection of blockchain, AI, and quantum computing: as threats emerge (e.g., AI-powered codebreaking), blockchain protocols must evolve, and the most secure blockchains—especially Bitcoin—will continue to improve. AI/quantum also unlocks new use cases (micro-payments, automated value flows) that legacy finance simply cannot address, making blockchain infrastructure and security ever more valuable. Venture Landscape & Defensibility: Le Merle's strategy: back the best VC fund managers, who in turn back top founders at the earliest stages, spreading risk and betting on the mavericks who build breakthrough companies. Warns that in AI (and other tech cycles), even groundbreaking startups can be displaced instantly by a new feature from a giant (e.g., OpenAI, Apple), so founders should build beyond “just a feature”—focus on defensible, deeply integrated solutions. Big Picture & What's Next: Digital assets, payments, and financial systems will become natively digital—blockchain is still in “early innings.” The best investment opportunities are at the convergence of Web3 and new agent/AI toolkits. Massive tech incumbents (Apple, Google, Microsoft) will keep acquiring—so both quick exits and rare breakout “escape velocity” stories are possible for top startups.

It's a strange kind of numbness—waking up each day, clocking in, and wondering if this is all there is. You trade your energy for a paycheck, but after bills and burnout, there's not much left for what actually matters to you. Somewhere along the line, the idea of freedom got swapped for just getting by. And while the thought of building something different feels risky, staying stuck starts to feel like the bigger gamble. Avi Vatsa is an entrepreneur blending law, tech, and marketing, with ventures ranging from a digital agency to an AI startup. He's launching a book, You Can Do It All, in December and a podcast, Founder Mode, this month. Today, he shares his journey and introduced Dial Laura, an AI voice agent for automating bookings and lead follow-up. He emphasized building systems that enable freedom—not just profit—and mastering key skills without losing focus. His message: you don't have to choose one path—you can design your own. Stay tuned! Quotes: “I build businesses to dismantle the systems that take advantage of people. My end game is financial, spiritual, and personal freedom.” “Everybody has a finite amount of time, and either you trade time for money, or you do something with leverage where you can buy back your time.” “Humans had to adapt to computers to do things with them. Now, computers adapt to humans.” Resources: Avi Vatsa — Entrepreneur, Human Rights Leader, Tech Visionary, Author, and Founder of “Founder Mode” Podcast.

Unser heutiger Gast hat Wirtschaftspsychologie studiert und anschließend ihren Master in Human Resource & Organization Management absolviert. Schon früh sammelte sie Erfahrung als Forscherin und Beraterin, bevor sie in verschiedenen Leitungsrollen bei Mercedes-Benz Mobility die digitale Innovation und den kulturellen Wandel mitgestaltete. Es folgte der Management-Buy-out und die Gründung von bloXmove, einer dezentralen Plattform für Energie und Mobilität, die sie als CEO an der Schnittstelle von Blockchain, Nachhaltigkeit und Infrastruktur positionierte. Heute ist sie Chief Marketing Officer bei 1KOMMA5°, einem der ambitioniertesten Scale-ups im Bereich Energiewende – und Gründerin von MountainMinds, einem Unternehmen, das Achtsamkeit, Selbstführung und digitale Kollaboration verbindet. Ihre Energie ist ansteckend, ihr Denken tief, ihr Handeln zukunftsgerichtet. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In mehr als 500 Gesprächen mit über 700 Persönlichkeiten haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat – und was sich noch verändern muss. Wie können Unternehmen heute konkret zur Lösung der Klimakrise beitragen, und welche Rolle spielt dabei die Verbindung von Mobilität und Energie? Warum reicht Nachhaltigkeit allein nicht aus, und worauf kommt es bei wirklich regenerativen Geschäftsmodellen an? Warum braucht New Work auch New Brands und wieso ist die Energiewende genau das richtige Umfeld, „Marke“ hier neu zu (er)leben? Und welche Rolle spielen moderne Arbeitsmethoden und persönliche Entwicklung dabei, dass wir als Teams und Organisationen an den Themen arbeiten, die wirklich zählen? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

Crypto has its own secret language — and if you don't speak it, it can feel overwhelming. In today's episode of New To Crypto, I'm breaking down three of the most common (and most important) terms you'll hear everywhere in the crypto space: HODL, FUD, and FOMO.✅ Learn the funny origin story behind HODL and why it's become a badge of honor for long-term investors. ✅ Understand how FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) spreads through the market — and how to separate signal from noise. ✅ Discover why FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is one of the fastest ways beginners lose money — and how to avoid falling into the trap.By the end of this episode, you'll not only know what these terms mean but also how to spot them in action and make smarter investing decisions.If you've ever felt lost in the jargon, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to join the conversation like a pro.
