I'm stoked and honoured to interview my friend and formative musical hero, Archer David Birch of Squeal. Born in the UK and cutting his teeth in punk bands like The Vibrators, he gleaned deep songwriting and production knowledge from the likes of Trevor Horn before emigrating to South Africa. There, he formed beloved hard rock trio Squeal.One of Durban's and SA's best ever bands, Squeal played heavy rock in a tasteful, intelligent way no one else could touch. Tight as a very tight thing, they were always on point live and Dave's fascinating background in the UK informed their songwriting and approach.Squeal went on to dominate the country's live scene and airwaves with epic, heartfelt songwriting, angular guitar riffs and sophisticated arrangements showcasing Dave's mastery of tension and release.As Squeal quietened down in the early 2000s, Dave focused on the iconic Tropical Sweat Studios, which became a national recording destination and provided a place for emerging bands to commit their art to tape in the best-sounding way possible.Nowadays Dave is focused on soundtrack production and scoring, although he still records bands when the chance arises.Please, do enjoy my chat with the one and only Dave Birch.

With the announcement that coach Steve Price's resilient stay with Wire is set to finish come the close of the 2021 Super League season, it's time for a Prexit debate. Joining the three usual podcasting clowns are headband wearing Dave Birch from Warrington Hospital Radio, the gorgeous Matt Turner from Warrington Guardian and some geezer called Mike Brown "innit!" . Enjoy. 

In the latest podcast, Mark has Dave Birch of smartAR, based in New Zealand but servicing Australian firms as well, shares how he has seen firms on both sides of the Tasman manage COVID-19, what differences there have been in each country including the challenges, and what trends Dave thinks we will see in 2021 and beyond.

John McAfee joins hosts Brett King, Miss Metaverse (Katie King), and Dave Birch on the 7th Anniversary episode of the #1 Fintech podcast and radio show. Little did we know back in May of 2013 that this thing would turn into the global phenomenon that it has been. Now, let’s get a little out there as McAfee talks about the similarities between computer viruses and COVID-19.

Dave Birch is an author, advisor and commentator on digital financial services. He is a recognised international thought leader in digital identity and digital money. More at Dgwbirch.com. In today’s episode, we talk about his new book “Currency Cold War” and relationship, and lack thereof, between digital currency and identity. Dave describes how smart money is digital currency that embodies its community. We talk about how data is NOT the new oil. And Dave responds to Paul Graham’s recent suggestion that Stripe is the next Google with the key insight “data about payments is more valuable than payments themselves.” We talk about the idea of community-level digital currencies (ie a NY coin vs just a USA coin, or different ethnic currencies) as well as the emergence of QR codes as a vision for the future of post-pandemic, community commerce.

According to a recent survey by Deloitte, nearly two-thirds of respondents said that global digital identity will be very important in the future despite the fact that digital IDs are still largely underused in the world today. Newer digital identity verification methods, like biometrics, could provide far superior authentication protocols and offer customers more seamless experiences while protecting against fraudsters. Digital IDs could also greatly enhance the gig economy, where the identity of remote workers is paramount to the protection of valuable corporate and consumer assets. While passwords are currently king, the development of universal digital recognition solutions that are both seamless and secure will eventually be the norm. We are fortunate to have Dave Birch, Author, advisor and commentator on digital financial services on the show today. During the podcast, Dave discusses the benefits and risks of digital identity, the role of the banking industry, and how we must balance connected commerce with human rights.

COVID-19 has exposed the reliance on long outdated and insecure identity metrics founded on face-to-face interaction, with identity theft and fraud increasing during lock-down. The organizations that had already implemented digital onboarding and identity verification have obviously performed better during the crisis. But where will we go from here? Join Brett King and Dave Birch as we bring in leading identity specialists Jumio and Metro bank in the UK as they talk about their journey to digital.

Dave Birch, commentator for Warrington Hospital Radio, is this week’s guest. We find out from Dave what it takes to commentate on the Wire, but more importantly, which player he was attracted to that wore denim shorts on cold Sunday evenings. ITV Presenter Davina McCall goes on a search for Steve Price in a special episode of Long Lost Tactics. Sam decides to read out the Wire props’ Tinder profiles to determine who’s the best catch, but it’s an ex-Wolves beefcake with a love of fishing who’s catching a Podcast de-bait. We evaluate how many Adrian Morleys make up a Great White, along with scientifically scrummaging for the Covid head n feed. Dennis decides he’ll go into PR and make over the Super League refs. And there’s a blockbuster finish with Rob reading out the What Bevan political correctness statement. Listen to coverage of the Wire games here with Dave Birch www.radiogeneral.co.uk

Open Banking & Identity: In the 25th-anniversary episode of PayTechTalk, I had the great honor to talk to none other than the world-famous author, advisor, and commentator on digital financial services, Mr. Dave Birch. Open Banking – will it do harm or further competition? Dave gave us interesting insights into his experiences with open banking and why the asymmetric playing field that it creates may harm rather than further competition. Will GAFA & BAT take over the world or will open banking give hope to the rest of us to catch up with the BigTechs? Identity is the new money! Dave has not only written a mind-blowing book with this title, he is an absolute genius when it comes to identity. We briefly discussed the 2FA approach of the PSD2 respectively the EBA and found that the framework is far from providing a 2FA solution that would satisfy the interests of the market. As there is no standard approach, we discussed as to whether merchants are forced to ignore the 2FA obligation and simply take the risk (is there any significant risk that modern technologies cannot reduce to a minimum?)? Is this legally possible, if so, how? Could new technologies improve the identification and authentication experience and still provide top of the notch security? Dave Birch wouldn’t be Dave Birch if he didn’t have answers to these questions. He gave us profound insights on what the new technologies are capable of and how the identification and authentication process of the future could look like. Enough intro! Please sit back relax and enjoy our anniversary episode of PayTechTalk.

Dave Birch - The future of money

In this episode, Author, speaker and fintech guru Dave Birch joins David, Jason and Simon for the news, alongside Richard Davies, formerly of HSBC, about to start at TSB. We also hear from Alison Rose of RBS at their Entrepreneurial Spark event. This week they discuss what Google's banking app might look like; First Direct repositioning itself because great customer service is no longer a differentiator; is India really overtaking China in fintech adoption? What's the truth behind the "big number" Deutsche Bank staff being replaced by robots, according to their CEO? And could this have been publicised better? As Portugal bans large cash payments we discuss stashes, hoards and how big is the Shadow Economy? As ING promotes itsme in Belgium they discuss who do we trust most with our data? AliPay Smile launches in China proving that electronic face recognition is better than humans and the perfect marketing strategy vis innovation that has been executed here. And finally, following Sam Maule's lead, which song matches these stories best?

Today we welcome Bailey Reutzel to Liberty Entrepreneurs. Bailey was one of the first financial reporter to cover bitcoin, before banks would even acknowledge its existence. She just finished a six month, 48 state road trip and wrote an article about each state's financial and economic culture. To get an idea of what Bailey wanted to accomplish during MoneyTripping, her road trip, check out the Atlantic article featuring her below: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/09/financial-alternatives-post-recession-living/404995/ You can connect with Bailey at: Her Blog: http://moneytripping.com/ - over 50 blog posts from her road trip Twitter @BLR13 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bailey.reutzel As a reporter for American Banker and Payment Source, Bailey broke some big early stories, and was one of the lone voices reporting on bitcoin to the banking sector. Bitcoin has mostly been seen as a consumer application, so Bailey reporting for a trade publication is quite unique. You can find an archive of her reporting here: http://www.americanbanker.com/authors/bailey-reutzel-1627.html She currently writes freelance for Coindesk frequently – you can find her recent work here: http://www.coindesk.com/author/baileyreutzel/ Favorite Quotes from the podcast: On Bitcoin versus private permissioned ledgers: “I think a lot of these private permissioned blockchains, it is still yet to been if they can pull this off. Because everything is in pilot or proof of concept phases, and so the bitcoin community has an angle there to say were the only ones up and running, and we've been up and running since 2008.” On covering early Bitcoin companies: “And a bunch of companies that I covered that covered back in the day are no longer around, and it's not necessarily because they were bad companies, it was because they were too soon, they were before regulation, and once regulation hit, it was like 'Oh shit, what do we do now?'” After making a name for herself in the bitcoin payment reporting space, Bailey moved to London. There she met a group of anarchist squatters in London – who further motivated her to go out and do her own thing. She met guys like Brett Scott http://skepchick.org/2014/03/bitcoin-101-with-brett-scott/ and Dave Birch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccTA2J1QcBM. Amongst the London squatters: “There was a huge group also talking about the history of money, predominantly because bitcoin is a thing. Let's go back, why is bitcoin a thing now? Does that say anything about money's past, or money's future? That was the initial underlying of MoneyTripping, the road trip.” An intense road trip - three days per state: “As the road trip went on, it just became more and more of a vacation. Where I am just going to do whatever I want. And I think that actually turned into better work. To financially make MoneyTripping happen, Bailey saved up some money, and did some freelance journalism on the side. She also earned $1500 in tips, mostly through Paypal, but some bitcoin tips. She started MoneyTripping with $8,000, and in all spent about $12k, living frugally. Half of the spending was on gas. To cap off the trip, she drove back into Missouri with $300 in her account. Could iy have something to do with the Bystander Effect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect On limits to living where she wants to in the world: On a freelance budget, there's no way they would give me a visa. There is a systematic bias towards employment in the modern immigration system. Favorite Quotes from the Podcast: On Bailey's view of the US economy after driving through every state: “There's a huge contingent of young people in this country right now: the job market is shit, unemployment is high, and so what do you do? You become an entrepreneur.” The best way to create your lifestyle of freedom and flexibility is to get into the entrepreneurial mindset. Keep. Building. Freedom.

This week, Brian, Faisal and Mike discuss Brian’s meet-up with Dave Birch, Brian’s new project called PayFinders, an Apple app for Apple Pay, we discuss the Amazon Prime Now lawsuit, Independent Contractors, China’s reversal of its One-Child per family policy, China vs India and Bitcoin volume/value, Ledgerless value transfers.

Having done a few Alternative Finance shows recently it's important to recall that there is another hardcore Fintech sector that is already changing the world (as opposed to threatening to in the future). This is payments. One quarter of the Fintech50 are payments companies and when I looked a little while ago there were well over a thousand on Angelslist. So we definitely need a super sherpa to guide us through this landscape. Consult Hyperion are an independent technical and strategic consultancy that specialises in secure electronic transactions. For two decades they have been working with technologies ranging from smart cards and mobile phones to contactless tickets and electronic ID in mass-market systems that include global payments, national and regional ticketing, international settlement, national identity and corporate  services. So I think they might know a bit :-) Dave – besides being a member of the Amalgamated Union of Wheeltappers, Shunters and Podcasters was a founding director of the Consult Hyperion, is now their global ambassador and has decades of experience under his belt. A very rich show with plenty about what is really going on with payments - especially from the strategic big picture perspective which certainly helps put the semi-infinite number of payments startups into some kind of context. Topics discussed include: - what a global ambassador actually does as a day job :-) - the consistency of the three complaints about the payments sector (too slow, too expensive and too opaque) in recent decades  and which of these are driving innovation right now - the technological changes enabling and driving Fintech payments progress right now - the importance of regulation in driving change in payments with regulators consistently driving payments away from banks over recent years; the recent EU moves around debit and credit interchange fees (and what they actually are :-D) - the extra valued-added from new payments players - deep-dive discussions on what Dave sees as the five key trends in Fintech payments right now: ....In-app payments ...."Re-localisation" (and the two meanings of this) ....Privacy ....Blockchain ....Internet of things - the trends Consult Hyperion are seeing in the business coming their way at the moment as a weather vane of what is hot in payments - and much much more :-) A very rich and enlightening conversation about the tectonic change in this industry sector!
