Cuy Sheffield, the Head of Crypto at Visa, shares his background and journey into the world of crypto. Growing up in rural Ohio, basketball became his passion and a way to find his own identity and confidence. He attended Pomona College in California, where he discovered his interest in entrepreneurship and technology. After joining TrialPay, a startup in the mobile app advertising ecosystem, he developed a passion for sales through building authentic relationships. Following the acquisition of TrialPay by Visa, Cuy would eventually find a unique opportunity for his skillset at the intersection of crypto and payments. Cuy shares his passion for crypto and how he became an advocate for the industry within Visa and beyond. He discusses the importance of spending time learning and engaging with the crypto community on platforms like Twitter/X. Cuy also talks about his superpower of translating complex concepts into easy-to-understand terms, and how he currently strives to be the best at explaining crypto to a broad audience.What you will learn:Your environment can amplify and accelerate your capabilities.You can differentiate yourself by finding the intersection of spaces where few people are focused.You have to move at the pace of trends if you want to remain on top of the latest. Follow Cuy's story at:Twitter/ XFollow the pod: IG - https://www.instagram.com/podwhatsyourstory/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@podwhatsyourstory Twitter - https://twitter.com/PodWhatsYourSto Follow my story: Main site - https://www.mattestory.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattestory/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/mattestory/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mattestory Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattestory

Not only that but Visa has some news of its own: Just last week, Visa expanded its use of US Dollar Coin (USDC) for digital currency settlement, adding pilot programs globally with WorldPay, Nuvei, and Xapo, modernising large value, cross-border payments, for end-to-end digital currency settlement over blockchain.

In this episode, we're going to explore web3 in the African context.The premise of web3 technology, and tools like NFTs, in particular, is that they can and perhaps will create new paradigms and economic models and that these models will have positive implications for creators and fans alike. And we believe that the decentralized and permissionless nature of web3 blockchains and protocols can have especially positive implications across Africa and emerging markets, as well. We're going to look at NFTs as a tool, and web3 as a technology and infrastructure that can create new and perhaps more beneficial and inclusive economic models than the status quo. In commemoration of this episode, we're also minting a collection of AI artwork entitled Dawn of Bugs, with Senegalese digital artist Linda Dounia. For more information on the collection, the artist, where to mint, and our thoughts on value in the NFT and African art context, check out What is the Value of African Art? NFTs and Web3 Experimentation. The collection, Dawn of Bugs, is available at reserve auction on Foundation.06:18 - Whenever there is a change in technology, like crypto and web3, there are ultimately new paradigms, as Seyi Taylor explains.10:09 - For Africans, in particular, new paradigms means a permissionless opportunity to participate in the global digital economy.12:36 - New paradigms allow for new communities and institutions, and new tools, like NFTs, that have the potential to create new economic models altogether.14:11 - The opportunity for creators, in particular, is to move from an advertising-based to a commerce-based business model. We hear from Visa's Head of Crypto, Cuy Sheffield. And NFTs can be important for black and African creators in the context of their historical experience as under-monetized and under-credited producers of culture.20:43 - We explore new communities and institutions like DAOs.25:19 - Why are Africans particularly interested in building new institutions?

#Bitcoin #VISA #CryptoI'd like to welcome everyone to my new PODCASTDave's Daily Crypto TakeIn this channel I will be providing you with news on a daily basis about cryptocurrency, bitcoin, blockchain, FIAT. My main purpose is to share UNBIASED news and updates. Ultimately I learn and hopefully you learn while I go on this journey.ARTICLES used in today's video:https://ambcrypto.com/be-very-careful-when-youre-looking-at-bitcoin-using-this-metric/Be very careful when you're looking at Bitcoin using this metricBitcoin‘s sideways movement seemed to be pushing the asset's price in a bearish direction once again. After closing the past week above $34,750, BTC's press time price structure was again under severe risk of getting mauled by the bears. The asset was unable to hold a position above $34,000 and in fact, over the past few hours, the price had dropped down to $32,500 i.e ~4% drop.While such a price action continues to hurt the crypto's potential recovery in the short term, there is another key indicator that may allow traders to understand sentiment from an investment point of view.https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/07/21908917/ethereum-dogecoin-bleed-out-in-bitcoin-led-crypto-crash-but-these-altcoins-remain-in-greenEthereum, Dogecoin Bleed Out In Bitcoin-Led Crypto Crash But These Altcoins Remain In GreenThe meme universe was not spared, with Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) trading 8.71% lower at $0.1994. The Shiba Inu-themed cryptocurrency has nosedived 18.77% in a seven-day trailing period.DOGE traded 5.08% lower against BTC but managed 1.47% gains against ETH.On Thursday night, the coins that traded in the green included KuCoin Token (CRYPTO: KCS), Theta Fuel (CRYPTO: TFUEL), and Stacks (CRYPTO: STX).https://247wallst.com/investing/2021/07/08/cathie-woods-ark-invest-buys-for-7-8/?utm_source=flipboard-money%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_campaign%3Dflipboard-money%26utm_content%3Dcathie-woods-ark-invest-buys-for-7-8%26wsrlui%3D69105491Cathie Wood's ARK Invest Buys for 7/8The major averages saw a sizeable drop on Thursday with the S&P 500 leading the charge down about 0.9%. The family of ARK funds followed the markets lower yet again. ARKG performed the best out of the group, relatively flat on the day, while ARKK lagged the rest of the group, down about 1.9%. The gains from last year are slowly sliding away, but Cathie Wood may have something up her sleeve as she is constantly reshuffling her ETFs to stand up to market headwinds.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/09/currency-and-control-why-china-wants-to-undermine-bitcoinCurrency and control: why China wants to undermine bitcoinBeijing's crackdown on cryptocurrencies has captured headlines, while behind the scenes its reserve bank set up its own digital currencyFew would dispute that China's recent crackdown on cryptocurrency trading and mining has contributed to the recent plunge in the value of bitcoin and other cryptos.But while the argument rages about whether the volatility of cryptos is a sign of fundamental weakness or merely a bump along the road, the initiatives coming out of Beijing are being seen by experts as a sign of China's attempts to incubate its own fledgling e-currency and reboot the international financial system.https://ambcrypto.com/heres-what-ethereums-price-will-look-like-after-the-merge/Here's what Ethereum's price will look like after ‘The Merge'A major Ethereum upgrade doesn't seem important enough unless it has been met with a delay. Keeping up with tradition, ETH's London hard fork is now expected to launch on 4 August. The fork is expected to take place at block 12,965,000 and there has been a mixed bag of responses from Ether enthusiasts. While some are excited about an official release date, others are a little more skeptical and cautious.Now, there have been successful activations on the Ropsten, Goerli, and Rinkeby testnets, with most of the hype still around EIP 1559. However, there are a few other EIPs that are crucial as well, right before ‘the Merge,' EIPs that are also part of London. But, more on that later in the article.https://www.techspot.com/news/90354-visa-partnering-50-leading-crypto-companies-users-spend.htmlVisa is partnering with 50 leading crypto companies to let users spend digital assets at merchants worldwideVisa has announced a partnership with 50 of the top crypto platforms, including Coinbase, FTX and CoinZoom, that'll make it easier for users to convert and spend their digital currency at millions of merchants around the globe.“It will be the same as any other Visa transaction to them,” Visa crypto boss Cuy Sheffield told Business Insider. “But on the backend, the crypto assets are instantly converted into fiat.”https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/https://coinmarketcap.com/Please subscribe, like, and share so that more and more people can view this content.DISCLAIMER: I will never give any financial advice.

Ultimately I learn and hopefully you learn while I go on this journey.ARTICLES used in today's video:https://ambcrypto.com/ethereum-why-londons-4-august-roll-out-could-hijack-this-popular-bitcoin-narrative/Ethereum: Why London's 4 August roll-out could hijack this popular Bitcoin narrativeWith market bulls losing steam all over, the value of most cryptos was trending lower on the charts at press time. However, this also gave many participants an opportunity to gain insights into certain projects like Ethereum. The industry's second-largest cryptocurrency has been competing with Bitcoin on all fronts of late and if institutions and analysts are to be believed, it could take over the mantle from BTC pretty soon.Ether has reportedly seen tremendous growth over the past year, growth fueled by the exponential hike in interest in Decentralized Finance [DeFi]. This is something Goldman Sachs agrees with as well, with the firm noting in a recent report that Ether's use case gives it the potential to dominate the digital store of value over the coming years.https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-closes-in-on-settlements-with-us-bitconnect-promoters-for-millionsSEC closes in on settlements with US BitConnect promoters for millionsThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is nearing settlements with four U.S.-based individuals accused of promoting the multi-billion dollar crypto Ponzi scheme, BitConnect.According to Law360, the terms of the settlements are currently awaiting final approval from Judge John Koeltl. The judge noted that while agreements' terms are currently legally sound, minor fixes are needed to be made to ensure they are “scrupulously accurate.”https://www.inputmag.com/tech/you-may-soon-be-able-to-pay-in-crypto-wherever-visa-is-accepted-coinbase-ftxYou may soon be able to pay in crypto wherever Visa is acceptedVisa says it will partner with cryptocurrency companies and allow consumers to pay in digital currency wherever its cards are accepted — nearly 70 million places worldwide. And merchants won't have to do anything on their end, but rather, customers will simply pay in crypto using a Visa card and it will automatically convert to fiat currency."The merchants don't have to change anything," said Cuy Sheffield, Visa's head of cryptocurrency, speaking to Insider. "It will be the same as any other Visa transaction to them. But on the backend, the crypto assets are instantly converted into fiat."https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/tether-worlds-third-biggest-cryptocurrency-got-economists-worried-rcna1358Why tether, the world's third-biggest cryptocurrency, has got economists worriedTether is the third-biggest cryptocurrency in the world by market value. And it's got some economists — including an official at the U.S. Federal Reserve — worried.Last month, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren raised the alarm about tether, calling it a potential financial stability risk. Meanwhile, some investors believe a loss of confidence in tether could be crypto's “black swan,” an unpredictable event that would severely impact the market.https://www.unilad.co.uk/featured/successful-cryptocurrency-investors-share-secrets-to-success-and-how-to-avoid-loss/Successful Cryptocurrency Investors Share Secrets To Success And How To Avoid LossThe rise of Bitcoin, which has seen its value soar over the past few years, has got many people interested in cryptocurrencies. As a result, there is an incredible selection of cryptocurrencies, whose founders have high hopes of increasing in value.Reasons for investing in cryptocurrencies have ranged from memes to cults of personality. Nonetheless, questions still linger about whether emerging cryptocurrencies can take off, and if the time for ordinary people to invest and profit has come and gone.https://time.com/nextadvisor/investing/cryptocurrency/crypto-terms-you-should-know-before-investing/Cryptocurrency Terms to Know Before You Invest: A Beginner's GuideHODL.

This week on Money Reimagined, we bring you part two in our series on non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, the crypto-based digital scarcity solution that's taking the art and entertainment worlds by storm. After last week tackling the stage-setting theme of how access to information determines value in the art world and who gets to set it, this week we go to the thin of the wedge and look at real-world use cases where NFTs are poised to blow up that centuries-old power dynamic. To do that we talk to two trailblazers in the exploding field of Black digital art: South African artist Lethabo Huma and NFT collector Cuy Sheffield, who also happens to be the head of crypto at Visa. Can this technology break open the 'Old Boys Club' of the art world? Can contemporary artists use the new contractual terms behind NFTs and the power of social media to more directly reach buyers and build a reputation? And how might it enable creative collaboration, not only between artists but also between artists and a new breed of algorithmic bots behind a brand new genre known as “generative art?”We discuss this and more in this week's episode. At a time when everyone from the NBA to Mark Cuban to Gary Vaynerchuck is diving into NFT mania, you can't afford to miss this one.

The rapid rise of digital dollar stablecoins has been paralleled by accelerating interest from central bankers on the role and possibilities of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). To some in the industry, these are viewed as at odds with one another, to others these are ultimately two sides of the same coin, converging trends that will emerge through broader public sector and private sector collaboration in the coming years and decade ahead. No matter, everyone seems to agree that digital dollars and digital currency more broadly are the future of electronic money and the broader global financial system. How will these two phenomenon interact, compete or simply just co-exist? On this week's Money Movement we're joined by Visa's Head of Crypto, Cuy Sheffield; Neha Narula, the Director of MIT's Digital Currency Initiative, an institute leading research and development in crypto, digital currency and now CBDC models; and Robert Bench, AVP at the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston, and a key contributor and collaborator on the future of digital currency with the Federal Reserve. Tune-in and join us live on YouTube every Thursday at 1pm EDT, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
