In this episode, Kimberley Dondo is joined by Ilana Miller from Royal London about centralised retirement propositions (CRPs): what they are, why firms are adopting them, and how Royal London published a fully worked, editable example to help firms create consistent, client-centred retirement frameworks. The conversation highlights behavioural research showing fear and false confidence shape retirement choices, explains why CRPs should treat retirement as a journey (not a single decision), and offers practical steps firms can take to align principles, client needs, income strategies and ongoing support.

This week on 5 Things Friday UK edition, we break down the retail stories shaping the high street, physical stores, discovery, customer experience, AI, and the future of retail.The episode starts with a spotlight on Positive Retail, described in the conversation as a more curated, “posh TK Maxx” approach to giving unsold fashion stock a second life without leaning into chaotic discount culture. The discussion then moves to Longchamp's Sloane Square pop-up, a beach-club-style activation built around music, drinks, games, workshops, and summer holiday energy — a strong example of why physical retail has to offer something the internet cannot.The conversation also covers the reported return of Claire's to UK high streets, with plans mentioned in the episode for 50 stores, before moving into takeaways from World Retail Congress in Berlin. Topics include CEO perspectives on AI, customer experience, retail engagement, ASOS collaborations, the role of Reddit in AI training, and whether retailers should be paying closer attention to Reddit and community-driven search behaviour.The episode wraps with store visits and retail models from Europe, including Action's frugal operating model, the question of whether AI removes organisational “fluff,” and examples from OBI, QVC live shopping, NRF Europe, and HOFF's Madrid flagship store.Linkshttps://positive-retail.com/https://www.nrfbigshoweurope.com/en/about/event-overviewhttps://www.instagram.com/reels/DXuOaYxggjU/Chapters00:00 Introduction to 5 Things Friday UK00:27 Meet Simone and Need It For Tonight01:15 Positive Retail and a different future for fashion02:12 Overproduction, discounting, and retail's race to the bottom02:36 The “posh TK Maxx” model of curated discovery03:49 Longchamp's Sloane Square beach-club pop-up04:26 Why physical retail needs emotion and atmosphere05:21 Claire's planned return to UK high streets06:06 World Retail Congress in Berlin06:32 CEOs on AI, customer experience, and retail engagement06:51 ASOS, collaborations, and sell-out retail moments07:13 Reddit, AI training, and retail discovery08:33 Who actually uses Reddit?09:45 Inside Action's frugal European retail model10:33 Centralised operations, SKUs, and efficiency11:00 Is AI just removing organisational fluff?11:24 Action opening one store a day11:52 OBI, garden retail, and store experience12:13 QVC and the move into live shopping12:37 NRF Europe, London, Milan, Amsterdam, and Paris13:24 HOFF's Madrid flagship store13:49 Pulse, London plans, and new social content14:14 Closing remarks

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBPrime Time reminder (FTF + Week 3)Vegas coming upNEWSRoman Storm Acquittal?? - The RageRule 29 hearing in SDNY. Retrial dates floated: Oct, Nov, Jan 2027.Gov theory: running Tornado Cash was criminal, but mixers aren't illegal and it wasn't criminal at inception. Failla: so when did liability start?Gov collapsed UI and protocol. Claimed Tornado Cash itself transferred funds — user wallets as "instrumentalities."Only 15% of volume was illicit across the charged period.Failla to prosecutor: "I might argue you were doing better before you started talking."BIP-361 - LinkNew proposal from Jameson Lopp and others (submitted 14 April) to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers.Quantum computers could one day crack the cryptography Bitcoin uses today (ECDSA/Schnorr). BIP-361 forces everyone to move to new quantum-safe address types before that happens.Two phases: first, you can't send to old-style addresses. Five years later, old-style coins can't be spent at all. If you haven't moved your coins by then, they're frozen.Controversial because it means coins that don't migrate get effectively confiscated — including Satoshi's ~1M BTC and anything on lost seeds. Breaks Bitcoin's "your coins are yours forever" promise.BitMEX pushed back with a "wait and see" alternative: only freeze coins if quantum is actually proven to exist.Foundation angle: if you hold your own keys, you just migrate when new address types ship. The people at risk are exchange users, lost-seed holders, and very old wallets.Bitcoin Depot Hacked - 50.9 BTC ($3.7M) Stolen - Bitcoin Magazine / SecurityWeekPublished: Breach detected March 23, disclosed April 8-9, 2026Bitcoin Depot, the largest crypto ATM operator in the US (9,000+ machines, 47 states), lost 50.9 BTC after attackers gained control of credentials for digital asset settlement accounts. Customer data was not affected. SEC disclosure filed April 8.Talking points: Centralised custodians are honeypots. One set of credentials = nearly $4M gone. The 16-day gap between detection and disclosure is worth noting. Compare with self-custody where there is no single point of failure.Kraken Insider Extortion - Support Staff Recruited by Criminal Groups - CoinDeskPublished: April 13, 2026A criminal group is extorting Kraken after two insider incidents where support staff inappropriately accessed data from ~2,000 client accounts. No funds were at risk. Kraken warned of coordinated insider recruitment campaigns targeting crypto, gaming, and telecom firms.Talking points: Your exchange account is only as secure as the lowest-paid support worker with access to your data. This is organised, coordinated insider recruitment across multiple industries. Self-custody eliminates this counterparty risk entirely. Credit to Kraken for transparency and refusing to pay.Fake Ledger Live app on Mac App Store - Coindesk$9.5M drained from 50+ victims between 7–13 April via fake Ledger Live macOS app on Apple's App Store.Hits across BTC, ETH, Tron, Solana, XRP.

In this episode of Leadership Bites, I sit down with Gary Clarke, Group Head of Learning and Development at Qatar Airways, based in Doha. Gary leads group wide learning across a 65,000 person organisation, with a team of around 80, covering everything from operational training that keeps aircraft flying, to leadership and capability, learning tech, digital content, and vendor partnerships. Along the way, we get into what it really takes to run an internal learning function like a business, build credibility fast, and become the supplier of choice inside a complex, high pace, multi subsidiary organisation. We talk about leading in a multicultural reality, the tension between standards and psychological safety, why bland harmony is a risk, and how to create a community of practice that pulls people together without forcing compliance. We also touch on AI and learning, not as a shiny distraction, but as a tool, while the real edge remains human connection, trust, and leadership craft. If you care about culture in the real world, not the poster on the wall, this one will land. Connect with me at livingbrave.com Subscribe for more episodes and share this with someone who cares about doing leadership properly. Chapters 00:00 Intro and welcome 00:29 Gary Clarke and Qatar Airways context 02:51 Scale, growth, and operational pace 05:03 What learning covers in an airline 08:57 Supplier of choice mindset for internal L and D 10:43 Quality, credibility, and Brandon Hall Awards 12:14 Centralised vs federated learning models 14:19 Building community through internal conferences 21:17 Multicultural leadership, standards, and integration 33:04 Clear standards, clear intention 34:03 Human centred leadership and psychological safety 49:13 AI, generational gaps, and learning strategy 57:12 The next few years and what matters most To find out more about Guy Bloom and his award winning work in Team Coaching, Leadership Development and Executive Coaching click below.The link to everything CLICK HEREUK: 07827 953814Email: guybloom@livingbrave.com Web: www.livingbrave.com

In this episode, host Friederike Ernst is joined by Thomas Thiery, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, to discuss EIP-7805 and the implementation of FOCIL (Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists). Thomas explains how the rise of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) has created a centralized builder market where a few actors now control over 85% of Ethereum's block production, creating a dangerous bottleneck for censorship. FOCIL addresses this by empowering a decentralized committee of 16 validators to mandate transaction inclusion, making any block that ignores these lists invalid. They explore the "Tornado Cash" moment and the risks of "silent censorship" for competitive or regulatory reasons. Thomas explains why FOCIL intentionally prioritizes the public mempool over MEV-heavy transactions to prevent the system from being co-opted. Finally, the conversation looks at the future of the Ethereum roadmap, including the Osaka fork and the technical trade-offs between inclusion lists and long-term privacy solutions like encrypted mempools. Topics00:00 Intro & FOCIL04:15 MEV & Centralization09:30 The Builder-Searcher Pipeline15:00 Silent Censorship Risks21:45 FOCIL Architecture & Committees27:10 Validity Rules for Attestors35:20 Spam Protection & Invalid TXs42:15 FOCIL vs. Encrypted Mempools49:00 EIP-7805 Status & Fork Timelines55:30 Future: PQC & ZK EVMLinksThomas Thiery on X: https://x.com/soispoke Ethereum Foundation: https://ethereum.foundation/ EIP-7805 (FOCIL): https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7805 Gnosis: https://gnosis.io/Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis has been building core decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem since 2015.

Drawing on her experience growing up in Poland, she draws unsettling parallels between life under communism and what she believes is emerging in Britain today, particularly through devolution, which she argues is centralisation in disguise.We explored how councils actually function, how decisions are often shaped long before councillors vote, and why individual responsibility and community action still matter.

Cubic³, a global leader in software-defined vehicle (SDV) solutions, has launched FleetWallet³, its AI-enabled in-vehicle payments platform designed to transform how commercial fleets, car-share companies and automotive OEMs manage fleet fuel and mobility payments. FleetWallet³ is an AI in-vehicle payments solution that initially eliminates the need for physical fuel cards, prevents fraud and delivers seamless and compliant automation. By combining data intelligence with secure payments, it sets a new standard for AI connected and efficient fleet management and operations, all without additional hardware. As part of its rollout, firstly across Europe, Cubic³ has partnered with GoCar, a leading car-sharing service, which will showcase FleetWallet³'s potential to support mobility providers, leasing companies and corporate fleets alike. Paul Foley, Commercial Director of FleetWallet³, said: "Fraud and card misuse remain some of the most persistent pain points for fleets and car-share providers. By integrating telematics with secure payments, our platform protects against both internal misuse and external compromise, delivering over 10% savings on fuel costs while dramatically reducing administrative overhead." Joe Quirke, Head of GoCar Ireland, commented: "Our partnership with FleetWallet³ aligns perfectly with GoCar's commitment to smarter, more sustainable mobility. As an early adopter of this solution, we're excited to demonstrate how secure, automated and increasingly intelligent payments can reduce risk and improve efficiency across shared mobility and fleet operations." The Platform Addresses Five Key Challenges: Intelligent, Adaptive Fraud Prevention - Real-time telematics and data analytics help fleets prevent theft and misuse, unlocking over 10% in fuel savings while minimising manual reconciliation. Seamless, Secure and Automated Payments - Fully integrated, PSD2-compliant fleet payments enable hands-free management across Europe's strictest financial and tax regulations. Real-Time Insights for Smarter Fleet Management - Transparent, data-driven reporting provides instant visibility into fleet performance and fuel consumption. Centralised, GDPR-Compliant Control - A single platform to manage vendors and services securely, simplifying operations across Europe's diverse fuel and mobility networks. AI-Enabled Fleet Intelligence - FleetWallet³ will leverage AI to evolve with every transaction, learning from vehicle data to predict needs, optimise costs, and enable intelligent connected services. The Future of AI-Powered Fleet Intelligence Looking ahead to 2026, Cubic³ is advancing FleetWallet³ with AI-powered fraud detection, Smart Transaction Intelligence, and predictive analytics. A new conversational assistant will let managers "talk to their data," detect anomalies, and act instantly - building intelligence that helps forecast costs, cut emissions and drive real-time sustainability. AI Partnerships and Software-Defined Vehicle Integration As part of its ongoing AI roadmap, Cubic³ is exploring new data-exchange partnerships with fleet-management providers and automotive OEMs to unlock the next wave of intelligence - from predictive maintenance and driver-behaviour analytics to EV charging optimisation and machine learning.

Deputy Principal - Education Support, Brent Passchier joins Around the School Table (xuno.com.au/podcasts) to unpack a practical blueprint for inclusive education at Atwell College (atwellcollege.wa.edu.au) in Western Australia. From sensory rooms and hydrotherapy to music programmes and smart use of technology, he explains how schools can widen access without always adding more staff. The conversation begins with a mindset shift. Instead of “more hands”, Atwell focuses on “valued hands” and clear structures. Education assistants are redeployed to run targeted small-group sessions, which lightens teacher load and deepens impact. Moreover, the college embeds inclusion in the timetable: sensory engagement, literacy groups, and life skills are planned, not improvised. Atwell’s three-pathway model sits at the core. Centralised learning supports students with higher medical, communication, or sensory needs. The Universal pathway offers a home base for core subjects while encouraging electives in mainstream classes. Meanwhile, students working at typical academic rigour receive needs-based check-ins from inclusive EAs. Consequently, support is flexible and evidence-informed. Teacher workload is addressed head-on. Simple tech streamlines admin. Furthermore, QR-code workflows trigger assessment adjustments and scheduling, ensuring equitable access with minimal friction. General adjustments; preferential seating, scaffolded templates, and alternative outputs—are normalised. Therefore, teachers can focus on pedagogy, not paperwork. Peer culture also matters. Health students design expos with differentiated activities, quiet spaces, and AAC options. As a result, learners support learners, and inclusion becomes a whole-school habit. Brent returns to a central theme: value over volume. Programmes succeed when they prioritise what each student needs to participate and progress. For leaders and teachers, the takeaways are concrete. Start with what already works, then systemise it. Use data to direct FTE, not the other way round. In addition, make collaboration between mainstream and ed support staff routine. Ultimately, Brent shows that inclusion by design can lift outcomes and reduce cognitive load—while keeping passion for teaching front and centre.

In this episode, Rob continues his conversation with one of his top salespeople, Kane Baron. They discuss the dos and don'ts of lending money to family and friends, reveal the secrets to investing in watches and cars, and share valuable lessons on raising financially savvy kids!  KEY TAKEAWAYS Lending money to family and friends can be risky; only do it if you're prepared to lose the money or the relationship. Consider giving the money as a gift instead. When investing in watches and cars, look for limited editions, good heritage, and scarcity to ensure the best returns. Teach your kids about money early on, as schools often fail to provide adequate financial education. Encourage them to start a company and learn how to manage their finances wisely. Cash is a liability, not an asset, as it depreciates in value over time. Invest in assets that produce income and protect your wealth from inflation. Centralised digital currencies could lead to a lack of competition and a social credit system, which may stifle creativity and reward laziness. Decentralised digital currencies offer more freedom and choice. If you become wealthy, be wise with your money. Consider being generous, but also know when to say no to protect your relationships and financial well-being.   BEST MOMENTS "If you're going to lend money to friends and family, if you don't want to lose the money and you want to make a return, you have to get a first charge on their property. Which means you have to be prepared to repossess the ass of your mum or dad if they don't pay you back." "The thing that will teach kids about money is struggle with money. You can teach them about money like I do." "Money loves speed. Money always moves at its fastest. So that's why people exchange money instantly online now. That's why you like the tap of your Apple Pay because it's super fast. It's convenient and easy to store and not easy to thieve." "I do loads of stuff like that, and I don't ever tell anyone about that. So I like to make myself proud every day."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Geotab introduces new vehicle safety and maintenance measures for Irish fleets

Geotab Inc., a global market leader in connected transportation solutions, has introduced two new products for the Irish fleet market at Geotab Connect 2025 in Orlando, Florida - a premier event attended by over 3,000 participants within the global fleet industry. Focused on helping companies move from reactive to proactive fleet management, both new products, Driver Risk Insights and Work Order Management, will give fleet managers the additional tools they need to improve safety records and vehicle maintenance. Understanding driver behaviour to improve safety With road traffic accidents on the rise, Irish fleet managers are under increased pressure to improve safety and mitigate risk. Driver Risk Insights is an AI-powered enhancement within the Geotab Safety Center that provides fleet managers with a new level of visibility into individual driver risk factors. By shifting the focus from vehicle-based data to driver-specific analysis, this advancement enables fleets, especially those with shared vehicles, to assess and predict collision risk at the driver level rather than the vehicle level. This more precise understanding of driver behaviour allows for targeted safety interventions, helping to reduce accidents, lower costs, and improve overall driver performance. Driver Risk Insights enables personalised, driver-focused analytics to: Assess the likelihood of a collision, providing a percentage-based collision risk probability per driver based on driving behaviours and historical trends Benchmark driver performance with similar drivers within their fleet or across different fleets using Geotab's extensive anonymised aggregate data set Deliver proactive coaching via the Geotab Drive App, giving drivers feedback and empowering them to improve safety habits to protect themselves "Fleets can't afford to rely only on reactive safety measures," said Sabina Martin, Vice President of Product Management at Geotab. "With AI-powered Driver Risk Insights, we're giving fleet managers and drivers a predictive edge - helping them prevent collisions before they happen, reduce costs, and create a culture of continuous safety improvement." Moving from reactive to proactive fleet maintenance The new Work Order Management within the Geotab Maintenance Center will help fleet managers in Ireland reduce downtime and manage maintenance costs more effectively. It allows fleet managers to streamline maintenance tasks through the centralised hub in the MyGeotab platform. By consolidating scheduling, tracking, and reporting in one place, fleets can replace manual record-keeping and disconnected systems with a more efficient digital workflow. Key benefits include: Centralised management to track all maintenance activities in one location, eliminating the need for multiple apps Improved operational efficiency, by converting maintenance requests into work orders, monitoring active work orders, and analysing costs and downtime metrics Predictive maintenance through Geotab's predictive analytics to identify vehicles at risk of failure and schedule preventative maintenance before costly issues arise "Fleet maintenance is a major cost driver, and unexpected breakdowns can significantly impact operations," added Sabina Martin. "We expect that Work Order Management will help Irish fleets move from reactive to predictive maintenance - improving efficiency, lowering costs, and keeping vehicles on the road." Ireland's SIRO crowned winner of Geotab Innovation Award in Sustainability Geotab has also revealed the winners of the 2025 Geotab Innovation Awards at Connect. The annual awards programme celebrates the commercial businesses and public sector fleets leading the way in their use of connected vehicle technology and data insights to drive better outcomes for business, people and the planet. The winners, including commercial and public sector fleets from the food and beverage, transportation and logistics industries, public transit, public works, and others, use...

An Ennis principal says he wants to see a secondary school admission process similar to what operates in the county town rolled out to south-east Clare. Education Minister Norma Foley has confirmed a centralised admission process for post-primary schools will be introduced in several high-pressure towns and suburbs for the 2025 school year. The system is already in place in Ennis and Limerick City where parents submit one form on which they indicate their preference of the local second-level schools instead of making individual applications. Ennis CBS Primary School Assistant Principal Colm Davoren says towns and villages on the Clare/Limerick border would benefit greatly from such a system. [CLIP] Additional first year places have been created for September in the likes of Greystones, Maynooth and Cellbridge, and it's believed these will be among the areas where a centralised admission process will be first introduced. Former INTO President and Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen believes the system is welcome as it ensures no child is left without a secondary school place.

Ten Reasons I'm Voting to Leave the EU

Stuff That Interests Me

I wrote this article for Moneyweek the day before the EU referendum, on June 22, 2016. I thought with everything that has happened since, as your Sunday morning thought piece, this was well worth re-reading and thinking about. It's amazing how many of these things remain issues, especially immigration, and how few have been properly acted upon.It's also amazing just how our leaders have failed us. Brexit was such an opportunity to “reset”, to start again, to re-design our country at a time when so many are craving change. In that regard, you would probably have to say that Boris was the biggest missed opportunity of the lot, especially given the mandate he had in 2019. I love Europe, but I want to leave the EUIt's obvious. But based on some of the things I'm reading on social media and elsewhere, it needs saying again. Voting to leave the European Union (EU) is not voting for Boris or Nigel or anyone else. The elected Conservative government will remain in power until there is another election, at which point we can vote for a different party if we so wish. This is simply a vote on whether we should remain part of the administrative body that is the EU. It does not mean you will no longer be able to travel to France. It does not mean your continental friends will not be able to come to the UK. And it doesn't mean we will no longer be able to trade with our European brothers.I should say, my grandparents were Italian. I speak five European languages, three fluently. I have lived several years of my life on the continent, and I do business with people in Europe all the time. I'm a europhile.And I want out of the EU. Here are ten reasons why.1. Centralised power is the wrong way to goPeople thrive most in societies in which power is distributed as thinly and widely as possible. In such environments they are happier, healthier, wealthier, freer, and they achieve more.The EU, by design, centralises power in Brussels. We are moving into an age of decentralisation and localisation. The EU is the wrong model for the times.2. Fringe nations perform better Since the inception of the EU in 1993, the economies of Norway, Switzerland and Iceland (even with its financial crisis) – the fringe nations – have on a per capita basis dramatically outperformed their neighbouring EU economies.We would be a fringe nation and that would suit us.3. Regulation should be localAround 65% of regulation is now set in Brussels. It is of a one-size-fits-all variety, and so often inappropriate to local circumstances. Rather than facilitate progress, regulation hinders it. Yet, once in place, regulation is hard to change. Rather than get cut, it is added to. We already have too much in our lives. What we need would be much better set locally, according to local needs and circumstances.4. The economic disaster that is southern EuropeWe now have 39% youth unemployment in Italy, 45% in Spain and 49% in Greece. These countries are unable to do the things they need to do to kickstart their economies because decisions are being taken on their behalf; not locally, but in Brussels. I cannot support with my vote an organisation that has inflicted such misery on its people. Reform of a bureaucratic organisation like that from within is an impossible undertaking.5. Immigration policy is becoming ever more importantThere are more and more people in the world and – whether it's those displaced by wars, by lack of water, by poverty, hunger or lack of opportunity – more and more of them are on the move. We are in a migration of people of historic proportions.The UK, in the way it currently operates, will struggle with immigration levels over 300,000 a year (and growing every year) for a sustained period. We don't have the infrastructure. I wonder how we get those numbers down. I'm not sure we can, either in or out of the EU. It is a tide in the affairs of men. But we are in a better position to do it with total control of our own borders and border policy.6. Trade deals are a red herringAs a percentage share, British trade with the EU, despite the single market, has fallen by almost 20% since 1999. British trade with the US, on the other hand, has grown. We have no official trade deal with the US.Here's a chart of exports for your delectation.There is no point having a common market if the economies of the countries you're in that market with are dying. 7. Further integration with the EU = economic declineWhen Britain joined the Common Market in 1973, the EU (as it is now) produced 38% of the world's goods and services – 38% of global GDP. In 1993, when the EU formally began, it produced just under 25%. Today the EU produces just 17%.The obvious explanation for this is the rise of the Asian economies, which have taken on a bigger share of global GDP. But why then has the US's share not fallen by as much? The US's share of global GDP stood at 30% in 1973, 27% in 1993, and stands at 22% today. That's a 55% drop for the EU versus a 27% drop for the US.Run away.8. Democratic accountability mattersThe EU is not a democratically accountable body. I didn't vote for the administrators and nor did you. I don't know who most of them are. If we want to vote them out, what do we do? We can't do anything. And if you want some idea as to the esteem in which they hold democratic process, how about this from the president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Junker: “prime ministers must stop listening so much to their voters and instead act as ‘full time Europeans'.” Or how about another one of his remarks: “when it gets serious, you have to lie”. Just what you want in a president. Do you remember voting for him? I certainly don't.9. Land ownership and the Common Agricultural PolicyThere is no greater manifestation of the wealth divide in the UK than who owns land and who doesn't: 70% of land in the UK is owned by fewer than 6,000 people. Yet these people are not paying tax on the land they own, they are receiving subsidies for it. Landowners are being paid by the EU to own land. Of the EU budget, 40% goes on agricultural policy. This has created vast amounts of waste. It has propped up inefficient businesses that have failed to modernise. It has re-enforced monopolies which should be broken up. Worst of all, it has meant that African farmers have been unable to compete, depriving millions of a livelihood (not to mention cheaper food for the rest of us). I cannot endorse with my vote an organisation that does this and shows zero inclination to change its ways.10. The Common Fishing Policy60% of EU water is British or Irish. We have not been given any continental land (why should we be?), yet we have had to cede control of our waters to gain EU membership. What was once a huge industry and the largest fishing fleet in Europe has all but disappeared.The French, Italians, Spanish and Greeks had fished out the Mediterranean. They were given access to our waters and our quota was reduced to 13% of the common resource. The quotas system brought about the dreadful practice of discards (putting dead fish back in the sea), and reformed EU regulation now means that rather than being put back in the water, it is brought back for landfill instead. Let's have our waters back.I don't think it takes a genius to work out which way I'm voting tomorrow. Good luck with whatever you choose to do in what will be a historic occasion. I'm looking forward to it. I believe, in the event we vote to leave, once we actually do leave, we will experience an economic boom that will take everybody's breath away, to the extent that we will look back and wonder why we were even discussing it. Fingers crossed. If you think this article might persuade any of the many wavering, undecided voters, please share it with them.From next week, I'll be back with the usual investment thoughts and ideas.So … What do you think? How right was I? How wrong was I? Post your thoughts in the comments. Obviously, seven years on a lot has changed. With the benefit of hindsight, things now look very different. So many bad decisions have been made. But it's very interesting to look back and see where we were, where we could have been and where we are now. This is a public episode.

However, the company is currently facing legal challenges from the SEC, despite being regulated in Liechtenstein and Bermuda.During the discussion, Linch and Piers talk about the future of the crypto industry and its regulation. They argue that a balance between regulation, security, and innovation is necessary. Both centralised and decentralised exchanges have a role to play. They also touch on the challenges of verifying smart contracts and the significance of trust in both systems.Key takeawaysDespite being regulated in Liechtenstein and Bermuda, Bittrex Global is facing legal challenges from the SEC.Oliver Linch, CEO of Bittrex Global, believes that a legal framework is required to ensure that people can engage in commercial activities with confidence and that regulation is critical when things go wrong.Centralised and decentralised products can collaborate to create something more productive than destructive, and there will always be a place for both centralised and decentralised products in the crypto industry.Regulation will have an impact on the crypto industry's future, and the next ten years will be crucial in determining how the industry will evolve.Bittrex Global is primarily focused on regulation, security, and innovation, with a particular interest in the tokenization of real-world assets.Chapters[01:18] Oliver Linch's unusual for a crypto exchange CEO background as a lawyer [02:08] The story behind Oliver Linch's journey to becoming CEO of Bittrex Global[03:49] How is Bittrex Global handling the SEC's lawsuit while building its business?

Scientific research & publishing are gruelling tasks that extend outside the scope of science itself. Centralised publications abound in archaic practices that span from submitting a paper to getting it peer-reviewed and finally published, process which may take even up to years. In addition, research requires funding from very early stages of pursuing an idea, all the way to its finality (i.e. clinical trial or real-life applications). In TradSci (traditional science), funding is usually obtained once progress has already been achieved or when a startup has been formed.DeSci (decentralised science) sets out to change this paradigm by funding early stage research via DAOs. When it comes to scientific publications, peer reviewing is also decentralised and incentivised, considerably speeding up the process. Moreover, contributions can be clearly retraced, avoiding false claims over IP, and the research itself becomes much more easily accessible and disseminated.We were joined by Vincent Weisser & Laurence Ion, stewards of Vita DAO, to discuss the advantages of DeSci in general, and the progress of longevity research in particular.Topics covered in this episode:Vincent's background and his interest in longevityLaurence's background and his interest in biotechThe purpose of DeSciWhich science branch is better suited for DeSciHow DeSci fixes contribution acknowledgement & incentive misalignmentFrom research idea to startup via DeSci funding$VITA token utilityAccelerating scientific publishing via DeSciHow IP is attributed in a DeSci settingProject review and governance in Vita DAOEpisode links: Vincent WeisserLaurence IonVita DAOMolecule DAOVita DAO projectsMoleculeBio DAO launchpadThe Longevity PrizeThe Longevity Decentralized ReviewThis episode is hosted by Friederike Ernst & Meher Roy.
