Bei Hyperliquid jagt gerade eine Negativschlagzeile die nächste. Nach dem Exploit vor zwei Wochen wurde der Platzhirsch unter den dezentralen Perp-Exchanges erneut von einem Krypto-Wal attackiert. Doch diesmal schlägt Hyperliquid zurück – und zeigt dabei sein wahres Gesicht. Wie das aussieht, diskutieren Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss. Wer denkt, damit sei die Shitstorm-Front abgearbeitet, hat die Rechnung ohne Polymarket gemacht. Dort sorgt aktuell die fragwürdige Auflösung mancher Wetten für hitzige Diskussionen – und dafür, dass sich der ein oder andere Zocker um seine wohlverdiente Gambling-Kohle gebracht fühlt. Abseits davon gibt's aber auch Lichtblicke: OpenAI haucht dem Memecoin-Casino zumindest kurzfristig neues Leben ein, die US-Stablecoin-Regulierung macht Fortschritte, und Robinhood glänzt mit skurrilen Produktideen – darunter ein Bargeld-Kurier. Außerdem scheint die Demokratisierungswelle jetzt auch den VC-Markt zu erfassen. Und Julius hat ein neues Framework dabei, mit dem sich der echte wirtschaftliche Wert von Ethereum & Co. besser greifen lässt.

Economists have long surmised that people's knowledge and skills contribute significantly to economic development, but to what degree can access to an education change lives? Amory Gethin has compiled data from surveys from more than 150 countries to measure what economists have never measured before: the correlation between education and individual incomes. Gethin is an economist in the World Bank Development Research Group working on growth and inequality and has sought to quantify the economic value of education as it relates to global poverty reduction. In this podcast, Gethin says investing in education advances those who pursue degrees and those who don't. Transcript: https://bit.ly/4iFzYOl

In this solo episode, Bill explores the critical concept of believing in your own economic value as a sales professional. Drawing from his document “The 15 Profit Amplifiers” created for clients, Bill discusses how understanding the economic impact of your solution transforms your ability to communicate value to prospects. Bill examines two primary ways your solution can deliver economic value: by alleviating pain points that cost customers money or by helping them achieve aspirational goals like increased revenue and profitability. The most powerful position is when your solution accomplishes both simultaneously. Whether your customers need to save money, make more money, or improve efficiencies, this episode provides valuable insights on how to identify, internalize, and articulate your true economic value proposition.  If you'd like to talk to Bill about your team, go to http://scheduleacallwithcaskey.com The Insider program is open for enrollment.

In this Special Edition of The Core Report, financial journalist Govindraj Ethiraj engages with Professor Rajendra Srivastava, former Dean of the Indian School of Business (ISB) and the Novartis Professor of Marketing strategy and Innovation, to dissect India's evolving business landscape and its implications for economic growth.

The Everett AquaSox's home for 40 years, Funko Field, is no longer in compliance with new stadium regulations implemented when Major League Baseball took over the minor leagues in 2020.  Now the city of Everett is exploring a replacement stadium that could cost up to $120 million. The city isn't shouldering the whole burden of this stadium, the state has chipped in money, along with Snohomish County, and AquaSox ownership has pledged $5 to $10 million. The city estimates that a new stadium downtown could generate up to $55 million dollars a year, whether that makes the stadium a good investment is up for debate.

What drives entrepreneurs to persist through the toughest challenges? Mike Fridgen, CEO of Madrona Venture Labs, joins Lindsay Pedersen on North Star Leaders Podcast to explore the dynamics of purpose-driven businesses and the importance of deeply connecting to the problem you're solving. They discuss how purpose fuels economic value, how mission-driven founders can navigate market shifts, and the balance between personal passion and the high-growth demands of venture-backed companies. You will hear Lindsay and Mike talk about: Mission-Driven Leadership: Mike emphasizes that successful founders are deeply connected to the problem they aim to solve. This mission-driven focus helps them persevere through challenges. Founder-Problem Fit: Investors at Madrona look for founders who are passionate about solving a specific problem rather than being attached to a particular product. This alignment fuels innovation and long-term success. Economic Value and Impact: Purpose and economic value are intertwined. Great economic outcomes often result from solving problems that have a significant impact on customers. Profit is a byproduct of meaningful problem-solving. Venture-Backed Businesses: Not every company should pursue venture funding. Many successful businesses are purpose-driven but don't need the scale or rapid growth that venture capital demands. Being clear on your business model early on is key. Self-Care and Rituals: Mike shares the importance of maintaining balance through travel, adventure, and outdoor activities. His family tradition of 10 international trips in 10 years helped balance intense careers with personal connection. Struggle Creates Meaning: Mike draws parallels between physical challenges, like hiking the Grand Canyon with his daughter, and the entrepreneurial journey. Struggle and discomfort often lead to more meaningful and rewarding experiences. Resources: Mike Fridgen: Madrona Venture Labs Contact me to tell me who you'd like to hear as a guest!

In this episode, I have interviewed Dr. Rob Scranton, who teaches people how to use their current debts and expenses to grow their wealth outside of the traditional approaches like scrimping, saving, and denying themselves the lifestyle that they want. Не leverages his extensive background in accounting, finance, and his experience as the former chief financial architect of a cutting-edge financial firm to offer a unique perspective on a highly effective financial strategy known as the Infinite Banking Concept, or IBC. With over two decades as a serial entrepreneur, Dr. Rob combines his expertise to showcase the power of this little-known approach. The reason Infinite Banking is so effective is because it predates the Internal Revenue Service and the tax code, preventing the government from lawfully seizing wealth accumulated through this method. Highlights Dr. Robert Scranton begins to share a bit of his background, explaining how he transitioned from working in accounting and finance to becoming a chiropractor and entrepreneur. Dr. Scranton discusses the importance of certainty in planning for the future. He shares a client case study where, through the infinite banking concept, they were able to forecast a guaranteed future income for their client. The hosts discuss how the infinite banking concept allows individuals to have a certain outcome if they follow the appropriate steps—establishing a more focused savings and retirement plan. The hosts observe that many people lack access to capital as they do not save, but instead put money at risk and give up control over it. They add that the best place to store liquidity is in a properly structured dividend-paying whole life insurance. The hosts critique Wall Street and the government, arguing that the industry aims to keep people from managing their own money. Infinite banking is not a product but a process. They underscore its advantages, remarking that it allows individuals to 'earn' in two places at the same time with the same dollar—a feature lacking in other financial instruments. The growth of their agencies due to the increasing demand for knowledge on infinite banking, with clients eager to learn more about this revolutionary technique.

Many believe that Bitcoin is “just one of thousands of cryptoassets”—this is true in the same way that the number zero is just one of an infinite series of numbers. In reality, Bitcoin is special, and so is zero: each is an invention which led to a discovery that fundamentally reshaped its overarching system—for Bitcoin, that system is money, and for zero, it is mathematics. Since money and math are mankind's two universal languages, both Bitcoin and zero are critical constructs for civilization.
