2. Future Fleets: Decentralizing Firepower to Counter Chinese Growth. Tom Modly warns that China's shipbuilding capacity vastly outpaces the US, requiring a shift toward distributed forces rather than expensive, concentrated platforms. He advocates for a reinvigorated, independent Department of the Navy to foster the creativity needed to address asymmetric threats like Houthi attacks on high-value assets. 1918 SEVASTOPOL

In this episode, I'm joined by Joe Rey (Founder & CCO), Oliver Fuselier (COO & CMO), Mykola Smorgun (CTO) from Popology Network.We talk about why curation might matter more than AI in a world of infinite content, how Popology uses a “meta search” to pull media from multiple platforms into curated popcasts, and how they aim to decentralize digital rights management by making users the curators and ledger operators.We also cover influencer-brand sponsorship selection, permissioned data ownership, and what they're raising to scale the platform.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Intro: Popology's mission – redesigning the attention economy, curation, and decentralized DRM. [00:02:00] Joe + Oliver's background: Decades in film/music video production and why they moved into Web3. [00:07:00] Finding the CTO: Why they needed “30,000 ft” technical architecture to scale the vision. [00:10:00] Core product: Meta search + drag/drop curation into popcasts across multiple content platforms. [00:11:00] DRM angle: Users become the “operators” by curating and ledgering content. [00:14:00] “Pathologists”: Viewers earn tokens and become members by engaging and logging in. [00:18:00] Big debate: Swipe algorithms vs intentional curation (and how they gamify adoption). [00:31:00] Monetization: Sponsorship ads + permissioned data marketplace + subscription tier.[00:47:00] Ask: Influencers/marketers + private sale (two rounds) leading into a larger public raise.Connecthttps://www.popologynetworks.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/popology-corporation/about/https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-rey-7539415/https://x.com/Joe_Reyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/oliverfuselier/https://x.com/OFuselierDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research. It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and share this podcast with a friend.Get featuredBe a guest on the podcast or contact us – https://www.web3pod.xyz/

Making a Scene Presents - Web3 Sync Licensing: Decentralizing the Music-to-Media PipelineThe Old Sync Game Is Rigged (And Indie Artists Know It)If you are an independent artist, you already know the truth about sync licensing, even if nobody ever said it out loud. The system is closed. The gates are tall. The same names show up again and again in film, TV, and video games. Music supervisors pull from trusted libraries, pre-cleared catalogs, and relationships built over decades. If you are not already inside that circle, you are usually invisible. http://www.makingascene.org

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Mike Miglio, CEO and founder of DEIN, the decentralized marketplace transforming how risk and insurance function across the DeFi ecosystem. With a deep history in crypto law, blockchain protocols, and decentralized innovation, Mike brings firsthand insight into why insurance—at its core—is really about trust.Mike explains how DEIN aims to replace reputation-driven DeFi risk assessment with transparent, on-chain market dynamics. Instead of relying on hype, VCs, or exchange listings, DEIN enables users to “put their money where their mouth is,” allowing free-market underwriting to determine real-time pricing, utilization, and perceived trustworthiness of any protocol. Built on modular, multi-chain architecture spanning more than 150 networks, DEIN makes it possible to add coverage for new chains and assets within minutes.He also discusses the challenge of pricing risk in a rapidly evolving DeFi landscape—where only a decade of fragmented data exists—and how DEIN uses bonding-curve economics and siloed pools to maintain capital stability and underwriting discipline. As the platform scales globally, Mike shares how DEIN surfaces relevant risks based on wallet activity, ensuring users aren't overwhelmed despite the platform's massive coverage universe.Looking ahead, Mike outlines the milestones needed for decentralized insurance to reach mainstream adoption, from launching a true autonomous DAO to eventually expanding into life, property, and real-world asset insurance. His long-term vision: DEIN becoming the trust backbone for global risk, where thousands of daily claims are adjudicated by token holders who earn income participating in a fully decentralized insurance economy—empowering users, not intermediaries.A compelling discussion for anyone interested in DeFi, risk markets, blockchain governance, and the future of global insurance.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

My guest today is Jeff G, privacy advocate and builder of censorship-resistant communication systems using Nostr and open cryptographic infrastructure. Jeff works on White Noise, a decentralized encrypted messaging project designed to remove single points of failure from private communication. We explore how the internet was built without native money and how that mistake created a surveillance economy where users became the product. We break down why “nothing to hide” is a psychological trap, how self-sovereign digital identity works through public-private key pairs, and why portable social graphs threaten centralized platform control. We also cover the global push for digital ID and CBDCs, the structural weakness of centralized messengers like Signal, and why real freedom now depends on rebuilding parallel, permissionless systems instead of trying to fix broken institutions.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Hospitals were once the epicenter of healthcare food service. One kitchen fed thousands, one cafeteria served everyone from physicians to visitors, and one model defined the experience. That era is ending.As care moves beyond the hospital walls into outpatient clinics, ambulatory centers, imaging hubs, and patients' homes, food service needs to move with it. What once was a static operation is becoming a dynamic, distributed network designed to keep up with an always-on health system.

Stephan Livera and Kevin Cai dive into the Bitcoin spam debate, breaking down the different camps in the community, the line between consensus and policy, and how transaction filters, dust limits, and Libre Relay affect the network. They explore mining economics, fee dynamics, and the subjective nature of what people call spam.Kevin also discusses UTXO consolidation, decentralization, and how BRC-20 activity impacts the fee market. He explains the cultural differences behind spam opinions and the broader implications for Bitcoin's ecosystem.The conversation covers the challenges of Bitcoin development, including concerns around temporary fixes like RDTS, and why programmability matters for Bitcoin's future utility.Takeaways:

In this episode, Lex speaks with Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect. In this episode Jess explains how WalletConnect bridges wallets and decentralized applications (dApps), simplifying secure blockchain interactions for millions of users.Together, Lex and Jess discuss the platform's origins, technical innovations, and massive scale - supporting over 700 wallets and 70,000 projects. The conversation covers challenges in integrating traditional finance with Web3, regulatory compliance, and WalletConnect's decentralized, token-incentivized network. Jess also shares insights on the future of on-chain commerce, global adoption trends, and the evolving relationship between fintech and blockchain infrastructure.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:WalletConnect Becomes Web3's Financial Backbone: Once a simple UX fix, WalletConnect now connects 700+ wallets and 70,000+ apps, moving $400B annually. It's evolving into the universal connectivity layer for on-chain finance - a “Visa for Web3.”Fintechs Are Forcing Crypto to Grow Up: As players like Stripe and Shopify enter Web3, they demand frictionless UX and regulatory-grade compliance, not crypto-native clunkiness. This wave will make crypto invisible but usable through embedded fintech experiences.Stablecoins Will Power On-Chain Commerce and Dollarization: Jess predicts commerce, not trading, will drive the next cycle. As stablecoins become spendable everywhere, users won't need to off-ramp - accelerating global dollarization via open financial rails. TOPICSWalletConnect, ReOWN, Circle, Stripe, Checkout.com, MetaMask, Solana, blockchain, decentralized finance, DeFi, crypto, wallet, Web3, web2, UX, wallet infrastructure, stablecoins, tokens, token economy ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Are the most important breakthroughs in physics deliberately hidden? In this deep, unfiltered conversation, Prof. Simon returns to explore how advanced physics may have been locked away since WWII — from zero-point energy and plasma stealth to the classified “black world” of defense research. We revisit legendary test pilot Dan Isbell's extraordinary UAP encounters and the physics they suggest, and we ask: Has mainstream science been steered off course for decades? Topics we explore: – Why WWII and the Manhattan Project may have shifted physics into secrecy – Test pilot insights on exotic craft, plasma sheathing, and zero-point energy – The quantum vacuum vs. the old “ether” — and why the words changed – Suppressed experiments from Faraday to Tesla to Chris Chiba today – Passive radar, Gorgon Stare, and citizen-built detection networks – The real split between mundane UAPs and the 5% that defy known physics – Consciousness, remote viewing, and the idea of a connected universe This is a rigorous but open-minded discussion for anyone serious about UAPs, advanced propulsion, and the future of physics.

Are algorithms controlling your voice, your reach, and even your freedom? Have you wondered why so many leaders, creators, and even ministries struggle to connect authentically in a digital world built on distraction?This week's guest, Adam Curry, has lived through it all—and shaped much of it. Known as the “Podfather,” Adam went from MTV VJ to pioneering podcasting, transforming how millions consume media. With an uncanny ability to “see around corners,” he's always been ahead of the curve—whether in pirate radio, television, podcasting, or now decentralized platforms like The Godcaster.Born in Washington, DC, and raised in Amsterdam, Adam has been a trailblazer at the intersection of media and technology for over 30 years. He became a household name as an MTV VJ (1987–1993), created one of the first digital agencies (On Ramp Inc.), co-invented podcasting with Dave Winer, and later launched Podcasting 2.0 to preserve free speech and independence in media. Today, through Podcastindex.org and Godcaster.fm, Adam is pioneering platforms that empower creators, churches, and communities to reclaim their voices. He also co-hosts the award-winning No Agenda Show podcast.If you care about leadership, responsibility, and preparing the next generation to thrive in an age of noise, you won't want to miss this conversation.Quotes:"If you really go for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, X, Twitter, Facebook or TikTok, you're really at the mercy of their system.""Podcasting was so interesting because it's completely decentralized. You have a little file that you need to serve from a web server somewhere, known as an RSS feed, and that controls your destiny.""There is no such thing as artificial intelligence. There's Almighty intelligence—that certainly exists. There is artificial intimacy. That's what these things are selling, mainly right now."Actionable Takeaways:Reclaim your voice from platforms – Don't rely solely on centralized platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok. Explore decentralized tools such as podcasting or The Godcaster that let you own your content and control your audience connection.Practice Value-for-Value – Instead of chasing ads or algorithms, ask: How can I deliver value directly to my audience, and invite them to reciprocate? Consider small ways to implement this model in your own work, family, or community.Teach responsibility through technology – When introducing kids or students to tech, focus less on consumption and more on creation. Ask: Am I raising passive scrollers or active builders? Create small projects together—record an audio story, start a blog, or make a simple podcast.Audit your relationship with AI and media – Reflect on how much time and trust you're giving to chatbots, algorithms, and social feeds. Where are you letting them think or feel on your behalf? Take one intentional step this week to reduce dependency—whether that's journaling, reading scripture, or having a real conversation instead of defaulting to digital interaction.Conclusion: Adam Curry's journey reminds us that media and technology can either enslave us to algorithms—or empower us to lead with truth, freedom, and responsibility. His story challenges us to reclaim control of our voices, embrace personal accountability, and prepare the next generation to thrive in an uncertain digital world. The tools are in our hands, but the question is: will we use them to conform to the system, or to create something that truly matters?

Now is when people will purposefully forget things, and memory becomes very selective. Every year that we are given, means more time to strengthen and shape our world. Some believe that deception can be labelled as virtue. Doubting deeply held beliefs can become very uncomfortable. 47 years old tomorrow, together with the 47th president. They will claim that change is unavoidable. Why ruling powers push religion. Faith became the same as obeying political institutions. Psychological conditioning to accept authority without challenge. Destroying religious challenges also ends the tradition to conquer and convert. The legal systems soon followed politics. The subjugation of populations was always seen as justified. NATO intel doesn't answer to anyone. Their history is a deep one that will require unraveling. They developed the post WWII intel apparatus. Also, the means for controlling the narrative. The colonial version of world history won. Pure faith does not require external validation. The fear based approach eliminated competing beliefs. Silencing traditions was standard. Decentralizing belief is a means to avoid control. Faith existed long before dogma. Trusting your gut is not only smart and spiritual, it's also a last line of defense.
