This episode is sponsored by EY.The crypto community is faced with the challenge of scalability. Can we build a blockchain that is secure, permissionless and scalable? And what needs to happen in order for people all over the world to start using it easily? The answer to the first question is still up for debate. There are many different solutions being proposed, but no clear consensus has emerged. The second question is easier to answer. In order for blockchain to be adopted on a mass scale, it needs to be easy to use. This means building user-friendly interfaces and simplifying the process of buying, selling and exchanging blockchain-based assets. It also requires increasing the efficiency of blockchain networks so that they can handle large numbers of transactions without slowing down. These are daunting challenges, but if the blockchain is going to achieve its full potential, they must be conquered.Join "Money Reimagined'' host Michael Casey as he discusses these issues with Alex Zinder, the global head of Ledger Enterprise, and Dr. Naveen Singh, the CEO of Inery. They'll discuss Ledger's Nano series of hardware wallets, which allow users to keep their tokens safe in their hands, and Inery's blockchain protocol, which helps manage both a decentralized storage network and a decentralized database. They'll also talk about how these technologies can help make blockchain more user-friendly as they also dive deeper into the core elements of security, decentralization and efficiency. -EY is proud to sponsor “Money Reimagined.” As businesses prepare for the token economy, EY is committed to building a better working world and connecting global business ecosystems on the public Ethereum blockchain.

UST, the algorithmic stablecoin created by Terraform Labs, was de-pegged this week from the U.S. dollar. UST's price initially dropped from a one-to-one U.S. dollar value to 60 cents and then fell further. The cause of the de-pegging is due to the sell-off in crypto and in financial markets. The price drop in UST highlights the risks associated with cryptocurrencies and their volatility, which further poses the question of when regulators will step in. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had a few remarks concerning the de-pegging and reaffirmed to the world that the Fed is watching. Join “Money Reimagined” host Michael Casey with Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, the lead manager of USDC, a prominent stablecoin backed by dollar-based liquid assets, and CoinDesk technology reporter Sam Kessler as they discuss this complicated issue of how the UST peg system is supposed to work and what really went wrong. After UST lost its peg to the U.S. dollar, $1.5 million of bitcoin reserves was used to defend the peg. Is the underlying algorithm sufficient to keep the token at a stable rate of one dollar? What are the alternatives? Are there other models, collateralized models that would be more effective? Allaire further explains on how the structure of Circles model may offer more stability and security to investors. - Recorded on Tuesday, May 10, 2022.-EY is proud to sponsor “Money Reimagined.” As businesses prepare for the token economy, EY is committed to building a better working world and connecting global business ecosystems on the public Ethereum blockchain.

A leaked document from the EU, proposing new regulation, describes the most sophisticated mass surveillance machinery ever deployed outside of China and the USSR.The proposal is for a new mass surveillance system that will read private text messages, not to detect CSAM, but to detect “grooming”.It would mandate scanning of encrypted messages for CSAM material.Once you open up “machines reading your text messages” for any purpose, there are no limits.Matthew Green, renowned security expert and cryptography professor, says:"Let me be clear what that means: to detect 'grooming' is not simply searching for known CSAM. It isn't using AI to detect new CSAM, which is also on the table.It's running algorithms reading your actual text messages to figure out what you're saying, at scale."Matthew and I dive into everything you need to know. 0:00 Pre-roll0:53 Intro2:00 The EU SILL SCAN Your Computers2:23 Matthew Green4:12 System will READ text messages between people to try to detect "grooming".7:52 "This is not voluntary."18:47 Targeting dissidents and election disinformation23:40 Apple's CSAM-scanning proposal27:38 Decentralization: "They can't win."30:55 Quiz Winner: Congratulations SpeedRacer111!32:40 Show Out and ThanksEU report:https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/system/files/2022-05/Proposal%20for%20a%20Regulation%20laying%20down%20rules%20to%20prevent%20and%20combat%20child%20sexual%20abuse_en_0.pdfBrought to you by NBTV members: Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Sign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

Inflation came in at 8.3% year over year.This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, NEAR and FTX US. For the first time in eight months, the year-over-year rate of inflation did not increase in April. In March, headline inflation hit 8.5% while last month that number came down slightly to 8.3%. Still, inflation was above economists' expectations, and it seems no one is ready to say for sure we're headed back down to a more reasonable level. In this episode, NLW explores the market's reaction and why, increasingly, the fear isn't more inflation but a recession caused by the Federal Reserve's response. -Nexo is a secure crypto exchange and crypto lending platform.
