On today’s show, we’re joined by Ben Schiller, the managing editor for features and opinions at CoinDesk. Ben has over 20 years of experience in business and tech journalism serving previous roles at Fast Company and BREAKERMAG. Today, Ben dives into the 3 segments of CoinDesk’s audience, his focus on feature articles and trend stories, why pitches must be topical and newsworthy, BREAKERMAG’s former “furry” mascot, and more.

Luis Cuende, the CEO of Aragon One, describes the Aragon Network, how it aims to create new systems better for human coordination and the roles of the various parts of the ecosystem, such as Aragon One, the Aragon Association, the Aragon Court, Aragon Nest and the Aragon Network token. He describes the various parts of the Aragon Network, such as a finance app and voting app, how the network can be used both by decentralized organizations as well as centralized companies, and how he thinks decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) interact with real-world legal jurisdictions. We discuss how disputes are handled in Aragon, what the token, ANT, is used for, and why Aragon is contemplating building its own blockchain instead of sitting atop Ethereum, as it currently does. We also talk about how Aragon is governed, how it hopes to someday decentralize its governance and other ways Aragon can reach Cuende's ideal governance. Plus, we cover a few controversial votes in Aragon and the role of whales in such systems.  Thank you to our sponsors!

Ted Livingston, CEO of Kik and the founder of the Kin Foundation, and Patrick Gibbs, partner at Cooley, announce the formation of the $5 million DefendCrypto.org fund at Coinbase Custody to fight the SEC in court. Kik and Kin are hoping that a lawsuit would eventually result in a new Howey test for crypto tokens, to determine which ones are a security. In this episode, they explain has happened so far between them and the SEC to bring them to this point and what their main arguments are. Plus they defend themselves against some of the evidence against their case and we discuss what they can expect going forward.

Jalak Jobanputra, founder and managing partner of Future Perfect Ventures, talks about how, in 2014, her experience as an investment bank and VC, her global background, and her observation that new streams of data were becoming available led her to launch her first fund, which ended up being 70% invested in blockchain. She describes what it was like selling LPs on the nascent technology in 2014, how her latest fund, which will be more than $50 million, is different and how it's drawing LPs who thought they could make money through liquid hedge funds invested in tokens. She talks about why she thinks early-stage technologies can't be IPO'ed -- and why FPV shied away from ICOs -- but why her second fund is capable of investing in tokens. She also explains how the space is still lacking in early-stage VCs with knowledge of the blockchain sector, why New York launched the New York Blockchain Center and whether crypto is becoming more diverse.

In episode 39 we look at the relationship between philanthropy and empathy. Including: -What does neuroscience tell us about the link between empathy and altruism? -The importance of physical proximity -Does empathy lead us to prioritise giving to those who are sufficiently “like us”, at the expense of others? -How do our unconscious biases affect our empathy? The identifiable victim bias and victim blaming. -Is empathy in tension with rationality when it comes to philanthropy? -Historical examples of approaches to philanthropy that lacked empathy: home visitations, voting charities and “telescopic philanthropy” -Rationality vs empathy throughout history: from the Charity Organization Societies to Effective Altruism? -What impact will technology have on our ability to be empathetic in future? -How can Virtual Reality be used to drive empathetic responses from donors and supporters? -Will tech-enabled ‘filter bubbles’ negatively affect our ability to empathise? -Rationality vs Empathy 2.0? Will philanthropy in the future be shaped by VR and experiential technologies, or by AI and data-driven decision making?   Related Content Zagefka et al (2010) “Donating to disaster victims: Responses to natural and humanly caused events”, European Journal of Social Psychology, Volume41, Issue 3, April 2011, 353-363 Decety (2015) “The Neural Pathways, Development and Functions of Empathy”, Science of Philanthropy Initiative Kraus et al (2012) Social Class, Solipsism, and Contextualism: How the Rich Are Different From the Poor, Psychological Review, 119 (3) 546-572.

The US stock markets start to look really nasty. Big sell-offs, big red candles, tech stocks bleeding, and the sentiment is turning pretty bearish. Suddenly it seems entirely possible that we are entering the next recession phase, not just in the US - although that might be the catalyst - but more in Asia and especially in the emerging countries. The billion dollar question, of course, is what will happen to crypto? I think crypto will do really bad in a “normal” recession. But if the next recession will bring a currency crisis and high inflation then hedging into crypto suddenly makes a whole lot of sense.The magazine Breakermag published a story yesterday about the sad state of crypto media. The truth is, these deals are pretty much an open secret, although I was surprised by some of the email exchanges published. It was especially disheartening to see that Cointelegraph was a bit too accommodating.Yesterday we talked about the countries “getting it”. Now let’s talk about a place which, surprisingly may I say, doesn’t: Spain. A new law is coming into effect requiring Spanish citizens to declare all cryptocurrency holdings in the hope that this move will raise a further 850 million euros in tax revenue. Hey, Spain! I am sorry I need to break this for you but it will not.
