Unlike NFC, which requires specialized hardware, ultrasound enables seamless and decentralized payment exchanges between devices using microphones and speakers, paving the way for more inclusive and cost-effective digital currency solutions.Currency Competition as a Catalyst for Innovation: Drawing inspiration from Hayek's The Denationalization of Money, Gianluca discusses the concept of currency competition, where multiple currencies, including cryptocurrencies, could coexist and compete freely. This paradigm challenges centralized financial systems and encourages innovation, potentially leading to better financial tools and user experiences.AI as a Game-Changer in Development: AI tools like OpenAI's GPT and Copilot are reshaping the development process. Gianluca shares how AI-enabled coding helped him prototype a keyboard-integrated wallet for AmanuPay in record time during a hackathon. This reflects the growing potential of AI to democratize access to complex development capabilities, enabling rapid innovation.Blockchain's Potential in a Fragmented World: The episode highlights blockchain's role in offering a neutral, trustless medium for global transactions, particularly in a politically and economically fragmented world. Gianluca suggests that Bitcoin and other decentralized currencies are poised to become indispensable tools for cross-border trade and institutional collaboration.The Challenges of User Experience in Decentralized Systems: Currency competition brings its own set of challenges, particularly in user experience. Gianluca envisions solutions like integrated wallets that automatically convert currencies during transactions, eliminating the complexity of handling multiple forms of payment in a decentralized economy.The Rise of Digital Feudalism: Stewart and Gianluca explore the concept of "digital feudalism," where influential individuals like Elon Musk operate as modern digital warlords, leveraging decentralized technologies to wield power outside traditional hierarchies. This evolution reflects a blend of feudal and capitalist structures driven by competency and innovation.The Role of AI in Education and Creativity: AI's impact on education and creativity is transformative. Gianluca shares how AI-enhanced learning and development tools can streamline education by focusing on core creative and analytical skills while automating repetitive tasks. He emphasizes that while AI is excellent for prototyping, human creativity remains irreplaceable for truly novel and groundbreaking innovations.

New Zealanders can now make contactless payments entirely on iPhones. Any retailer with a supported iPhone can accept payments from cards or digital wallets. It's paid via an app from one of Apple's payments service partners including Stripe, Worldline, Windcave, and ANZ.

Mankind's born on earth, but it was never meant to die here.”- This quote from the epic movie Interstellar by Christopher Nolan makes us curious to explore what's beyond what we can't see i.e. the Space Economy which is being talked about in this podcast by our hosts Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte. They delve into the world of space startups, and if you are someone who are looking to explore the unknown this might be the right place to be with discussions about Space X, Skyroot Aerospace which has the highest funding of 95 million in India to a comparison with the US space economy. And do you know that Nokia is bringing back its tiny 2.4-inch 3210 phone, which has a feature of making contactless payments and even watch YouTube videos? Brings back the nostalgia, right?

In this episode, we're exploring a topic that's revolutionizing the patient payment landscape in healthcare: Digital Wallets and Contactless Payments. The days of writing checks and swiping cards are fading into the backdrop of healthcare payments. Today, we're witnessing a remarkable transformation, a shift towards more modern, tech-driven solutions. But what exactly are digital wallets and contactless payments? And how are they changing the way medical groups manage transactions? Digital wallets, like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, are essentially your wallet in a digital form. These electronic devices or online services let individuals make electronic transactions effortlessly. And then there's contactless payments – using RFID or NFC technology, patients can now pay their medical bills with just a simple tap of their smartphone or contactless credit card. But how are these advanced payment options being adopted in healthcare? Well, it's not just about keeping up with technology but also about enhancing the patient experience. Imagine a patient finishing their consultation and simply tapping their phone on a reader to complete the payment. No fumbling for cards, no waiting for change. It's all about making the process seamless and secure. Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

The current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has saturated media across the globe. The information available to us is vast, expansive, and can be all-consuming. But a lot of this information is, understandably, geared heavily toward medical and social topics. In this episode, we explore the impact of covid-19 on fintech companies. We ask the question, what does this mean payment methods and the future of transactions across the globe? George Whitridge and Max Friedrich, FinTech analysts at ARK, talks about how various countries have responded to the push for contactless payment methods, the economic benefits we're seeing in contactless payments, and how companies and brands such as Zillow, Cash App, and DocuSign are responding to the current crisis. We also take a look at the response to the pandemic by The Small Business Administration and US banks, and why startups who live in uncertainty, are more likely to master this crisis than older business models. We ‘round off with some fascinating stats about just how dirty your credit and debit cards really are. If germs were a currency, perhaps we'd all still be in business?
