"Most of the money problems we talk about with Bitcoin — they're not money problems. They're time problems." Scott Dedels — founder of Block Rewards and author of The Age of Time — says the clock is a technology. It was invented about 600 years ago, and somewhere along the way we forgot it was ever invented at all. His claim: the problem of time is upstream of the problem of money. Fiat was downstream of a civilization that had already agreed to be ruled by a machine that only moves forward, in the direction of consumption. We went from asking what is time to only ever asking what time is it. We get into the Prague Orloj and the birth of mechanical time, the 1944 essay that turned time into a commodity, Saturn as civilization's invisible operating system, why we stopped building 300-year cathedrals, AI and the information hyperstream — and Bitcoin as a ten-minute heartbeat no one controls.

Lancia es una de las marcas más admiradas de la historia del automóvil. Su nombre está asociado a la innovación técnica, al lujo refinado y a algunos de los mayores éxitos jamás conseguidos en el mundo de los rallyes. Sin embargo, también protagoniza una de las caídas más sorprendentes de toda la industria. En este vídeo repasamos la increíble historia de una marca que nació como un auténtico laboratorio de ingeniería. Fundada en 1906 por Vincenzo Lancia, la compañía destacó desde el principio por desarrollar soluciones técnicas revolucionarias. Modelos como el Theta, el Lambda o el Aprilia incorporaron avances que estaban décadas por delante de sus competidores. Tras la muerte de Vincenzo, su hijo Gianni Lancia impulsó la entrada de la marca en la competición. Aquella decisión dio lugar a algunos de los automóviles más importantes de todos los tiempos, entre ellos el espectacular Lancia Aurelia, pionero por utilizar el primer motor V6 fabricado en serie y una avanzada arquitectura transaxle. Pero la ambición deportiva tuvo un coste enorme. Los programas de competición, especialmente en Fórmula 1, generaron gastos imposibles de asumir para una empresa de tamaño relativamente pequeño. Finalmente, en 1955, la familia Lancia perdió el control de la compañía. Durante los años sesenta la marca siguió produciendo automóviles extraordinarios, pero arrastraba un problema estructural: su obsesión por la ingeniería hacía que fabricar cada coche resultara demasiado caro. La rentabilidad era prácticamente inexistente y, en 1969, Fiat terminó adquiriendo la empresa. Bajo el paraguas financiero de Fiat llegaron algunos de los mayores éxitos deportivos de la historia. El Stratos revolucionó los rallyes, el 037 consiguió derrotar a los Audi Quattro de tracción total y el Delta Integrale encadenó seis títulos mundiales consecutivos de constructores, una hazaña que sigue siendo irrepetible. Sin embargo, mientras los éxitos deportivos se acumulaban, la reputación comercial de la marca sufría un duro golpe. El caso del Lancia Beta y los graves problemas de corrosión provocados por el uso de acero de baja calidad dañaron profundamente la imagen de excelencia que había construido durante décadas. La situación empeoró todavía más cuando Fiat adquirió Alfa Romeo. Para evitar la competencia interna, el grupo decidió reservar la imagen deportiva para Alfa y transformar Lancia en una marca orientada exclusivamente al lujo y al confort. Aquella decisión supuso una ruptura total con la identidad que había convertido a Lancia en una leyenda. Durante los años noventa y los primeros años del siglo XXI la marca fue perdiendo relevancia internacional. Sus modelos compartían cada vez más elementos con otros vehículos del grupo y dejaron de destacar por la innovación que había definido su historia. La humillación definitiva llegó tras la integración de Chrysler en el grupo Fiat. Modelos estadounidenses como el Chrysler 300 o el Grand Voyager fueron comercializados en Europa con emblemas de Lancia, una estrategia que muchos aficionados consideraron una traición al legado de la marca. En la actualidad, Lancia intenta reconstruir su futuro dentro de Stellantis mediante nuevos modelos electrificados y una imagen inspirada en su glorioso pasado. Sin embargo, la gran pregunta sigue siendo la misma: ¿es posible recuperar el espíritu de una marca que durante décadas fue sinónimo de innovación, pasión y excelencia técnica? En este vídeo analizamos la trayectoria completa de Lancia, desde sus revolucionarios comienzos hasta convertirse en uno de los casos más llamativos de pérdida de identidad dentro de la industria del automóvil.

For episode 259 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we're excited to welcome Inès d'Haultfoeuille, Chief Operating Officer of Egregor, a non-profit dedicated to catalysing social and environmental transformations, playing roles that range from accelerator to venture philanthropist and strategic advisor. Their team is truly global, and their work reaches across climate, education, social justice, civic engagement, and more.If you work in the nonprofit or impact space, the last few years have been brutal. Funding is being cut. Donor priorities are shifting, sometimes overnight. Geopolitical instability is reshaping where resources flow and who gets left out. And through all of it, the needs on the ground aren't shrinking. They're growing.We've talked about this on the show before, with organizations working in Ukraine, in Afghanistan, in Tanzania, in Somaliland. The pattern keeps repeating. The people doing the most essential work are often the ones with the least support, the least stability, and the least room to breathe.Egregor was born out of a conviction that social and environmental innovators deserve better than isolation, precarious funding, and systems designed without them. And what I find compelling about their model is where they choose to focus. Rather than just writing cheques, they work to remove the structural, financial, and logistical barriers that stand between an innovator and their vision. Because so often, the bottleneck isn't the idea but everything surrounding it.In today's discussion you'll learn:

Alex Shahidi, Managing Principal at Evoke Advisors and co-portfolio manager of the RPAR Risk Parity ETF and UPAR Ultra Risk Parity ETF, joins Michael Gayed on Lead-Lag Live to unpack why gold belongs at the core of a modern risk-parity portfolio — and why the traditional 60/40 keeps failing in inflationary regimes. In this first of a new series of narrower, single-topic risk-parity conversations, Alex walks through the three-step framework behind RPAR and UPAR, explains why correlation is a byproduct rather than a driver of diversification, and makes the structural case for gold as an anti-paper-money hedge against fiat debasement, sovereign debt monetization, and central-bank de-dollarization. Topics covered: (00:00) A different kind of Lead-Lag Live — post-close, single-topic risk-parity series with Alex Shahidi (00:57) The three-step risk-parity framework: diverse asset classes, risk-balancing, and rebalancing (02:15) Why the traditional 60/40 concentrates almost all risk in stocks (02:44) Correlation is a byproduct — the four economic environments that actually drive returns (04:26) Adding assets with the opposite inflation bias: gold, commodities, and TIPS (04:50) The growth-vs-inflation quadrant framework and reading market-implied environments (06:18) Gold as an investment: cutting through the gold-bug and gold-skeptic extremes (07:13) The 55-year track record — gold's return, low correlation, and diversification value (08:40) Inside RPAR: why gold is separated from commodity producers as its own bucket (09:53) How gold behaves like a bond in a downturn — the Q1 2020 case study (11:20) When gold doesn't outperform: the liquidity-tightening exception (12:17) The narrative around gold — why every asset needs a story for capital to flow (13:15) Fiat debasement, currency printing, and gold's structural tailwind (14:43) Central-bank de-dollarization since 2022 and the shift into gold reserves (16:08) The bear case: what would derail gold from here (16:33) "Why buy something that yields nothing?" — the pricing-power counterargument (18:24) Building a portfolio with meaningful gold exposure to balance equity risk (19:41) Bullish on diversification, not predictions — the discipline of rebalancing (20:39) Closing thoughts on the new single-asset-class series with Alex About Evoke Advisors: Evoke Advisors is a Los Angeles–based independent wealth-management firm. Alex Shahidi co-manages the RPAR Risk Parity ETF and UPAR Ultra Risk Parity ETF, applying a systematic risk-parity approach designed to balance exposures across the four macro environments — rising and falling growth, rising and falling inflation.

Het was me het beursdagje weer wel. Zo beschuldigt Apple OpenAI van diefstal en spant het een rechtszaak aan. AkzoNobel zit op zijn beurt dan weer niet te wachten op wéér een overnamebod van wéér het Japanse Nippon Paint. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die twee bijzondere zaken. Maar ook uitgebreid over de omzetcijfers van TSMC, de grootste chipmaker van de wereld. Dat stunt terwijl de lat al zo hoog ligt. We kijken wat dat betekent voor de kwartaalcijfers van ASML. Dat verkoopt namelijk veel aan TSMC, gaan we dat terugzien in hun kwartaalcijfers? Ook gaat het over de goede verkoopcijfers van autobouwer Stellantis. Dat heeft een rampjaar achter de rug. Vorig jaar een recordverlies van dik 22 miljard. Maar er schijnt licht aan het einde van de autotunnel! De verkopen in Europa trekken aan, maar het zijn vooral de verkopen in de VS die gunstig stemmen. Daar doet Stellantis het opvallend goed. Verder hoor je ook meer over Disney. Wells Fargo zegt dat het mediabedrijf zijn streamingtak moet afsplitsen. Dan zou het aandeel met 40 (!) procent stijgen.

Cesena, 1° settembre 1992 – Cristina Golinucci è una ragazza di 21 anni, con alle spalle una famiglia che le vuole bene e una profonda fede religiosa. Quel pomeriggio esce di casa per recarsi al convento dei Cappuccini, un luogo che frequenta abitualmente. Da quel momento, però, di lei si perdono completamente le tracce. La sua Fiat 500 viene ritrovata nel parcheggio del convento, ma Cristina sembra essersi dissolta nel nulla. Nelle prime settimane si parla di allontanamento volontario, ma la famiglia non crede a questa ipotesi neppure per un istante. Con il passare degli anni emergeranno testimonianze, sospetti e nuove piste investigative che riportano più volte l'attenzione proprio sull'ambiente religioso frequentato dalla giovane. Tra archiviazioni, riaperture dell'inchiesta e interrogativi rimasti senza risposta, il caso diventa uno dei più longevi e controversi misteri italiani. Ma che cosa accadde davvero a Cristina quel pomeriggio di settembre? E perché, dopo oltre trent'anni di indagini, nessuno è ancora riuscito a spiegare cosa sia successo a quella ragazza entrata in un convento e mai più tornata a casa? Proviamo a scoprirlo insieme a Marty e Fred: esperte di cronaca nera ed autrici del podcast “Bouquet of Madness”. Iscriviti al gruppo Telegram per interagire con noi e per non perderti nessuna delle novità in anteprima e degli approfondimenti sulle puntate: https://t.me/LucePodcast Se vuoi ascoltarci senza filtri e sostenere il nostro lavoro, da oggi è possibile abbonarsi al nostro canale Patreon e accedere a contenuti bonus esclusivi tramite questo link: patreon.com/LucePodcast

Saifedean joins Nick Carey to discuss money as a civilizational force: why mainstream economics has an inflation blind spot, how banks "mine" fiat through credit creation, why the rich hold negative fiat balances to acquire hard assets, and how inflation funds war, corrodes morality, and raises time preference.

For episode 258 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we're excited to welcome Shannon Lanigan, Heenal Rajani, and Marvin Paul of All In For Sport, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) on a mission to create a “coordi-nation” to support projects that advance inclusion and empowerment through sport.This episode is part two of an ongoing conversation, so let me set the stage. In episode 245, we sat down with the team at SuperBenefit to explore their Reimagining Power series. That conversation was about the theory and the possibilities: how Web3 could be a tool for systems change, how we might redistribute power rather than concentrate it, and how we can confront the uncomfortable history of development work and philanthropy instead of repeating its mistakes in Web3.It was a rich, thought-provoking discussion. But it lived mostly in the realm of ideas. Today, we get to see those ideas put into practice with a case study, a real-world test of what we discussed in that first conversation. We highlight All In For Sport's collaboration with Sarreya, an organization that has spent over a decade creating space for women and girls to play sport in Somaliland.The project, The Six-Month Wire Transfer (And What We're Doing About It), is named after a very real experience: a routine grant payment that took six months to reach Sarreya, blocked, rerouted, and questioned every step of the way. And it grew into something much bigger than a payments experiment. It became a test of whether Web3 tools could not only move money to a community the traditional financial system overlooks, but also shift power, introducing governance structures and transparent treasury management that keep decision-making in the hands of the community itself.In today's discussion you'll learn:⚽ How All In For Sport and Sarreya are leveraging crypto to support women and girls playing sport in Somaliland

Lending money to friends can quickly become a relationship killer, fast food's newest competition may be coming from the grocery store, and Chrysler parent Stellantis is bringing its tiny Fiat Topolino EV to the U.S.

For episode 257 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we welcome Erik Balsbaugh and Carole House of Open Frontier, a non-profit advocacy organization and a leading voice on how digital currencies, Artificial Intelligence, and emerging technologies can empower underserved communities and advance the values so many of us care about: inclusion, accountability, and financial freedom.A few episodes back, I released a solo episode on AI, the hype cycle, and the principle of "do no harm." And the response really moved me. It clearly struck a chord, because so many of you are feeling the same tension I am. We're living through a moment of extraordinary technological change, and it's not entirely clear who it's being built for.You can feel it in the pushback happening all around us. Communities are organizing against data centers. There's a growing unease about how much power is concentrating in the hands of a few enormous tech companies and the ultra-wealthy. And there's a real fear, one I think is worth taking seriously, that these powerful new technologies, AI and digital finance among them, could end up deepening the very inequities they promised to solve.Here's the thing. Technology is not destiny. It's not something that just happens to us. It's built by people, shaped by choices, and governed by rules that we get to have a say in. The question isn't whether AI and digital finance will reshape our world. They will. The question is who's at the table when those systems are designed, who benefits from them, and whether they're built with people and the planet in mind, or just as another tool for wealth creation.In today's discussion you'll learn:⚖️ Why technology is not destiny, and how the future of AI and digital finance depends on who shapes it, who benefits, and what rules govern it

For episode 256 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we're excited to welcome Martin Simms and Aaron Rafferty, co-founders of WYDE, a social impact exchange built on Base, the Ethereum Layer 2, where transaction-based fees are directed into verified charitable grants for hunger relief.They call themselves an "Impact Exchange," and the model is built on a concept called "contributory consumption," where everyday financial activity like crypto trades or even debit card purchases generate charitable impact by design, rather than relying on one-off acts of generosity. At the core of it is the $EAT token. When someone buys, sells, or transfers it, a portion of every transaction flows toward funding meals. And it's all recorded on the blockchain for public verification, so you can actually see the impact happening in real time.WYDE recently announced an exclusive national partnership with Feed the Children, an organization that reached nearly 15 million people last year, and they have big hopes of growing that number. They've already helped fund tens of thousands of meals. They've run their first "Trade-to-Feed-athon," a trading competition that generates funding for meals. And this month, they announced the $EAT debit card, extending the model from crypto into everyday spending.In today's discussion you'll learn:

Elon Musk is officially a trillionaire. Naturally, people are calling it yet another failure of capitalism, and I'm calling BS. I compared his wealth to Andrew Carnegie's fortune. On paper, Musk's number looks insane, but when you measure them against the total money supply of their eras, the truth completely flips. I believe we aren't seeing runaway capitalism, but we are simply measuring success with a broken tape measure. I explain why fiat is failing, why you should be mad at central banks instead of builders, and how we finally opt out. Chapters (00:00:00) - Did Elon Break Capitalism?

Tokenisation represents an “operating system upgrade” for the investment industry, says Theo Golden, Baillie Gifford's new head of digital assets. In this episode, they explain what it involves and how it should deliver a better experience, both by reducing the number of middlemen between you and your investments and making your holdings more “useful”. Background:In this conversation, Theo Golden tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion about how tokenisation can reduce costs and complexity – and pave the way for providing clients with new services that better fit their needs. Tokenisation means taking an asset – such as a fund – and turning it into a line of code. This lives on a blockchain: a shared digital record that no single party owns or controls. The investment itself doesn't change, but what does are the ways that ownership is recorded and transferred. Instead of a chain of intermediaries, each keeping their own set of books, everyone can work from one shared record. As Golden puts it, it's “the same but better” – the same investments, on faster, lower-cost, more flexible rails built for the internet age. It also paves the way to new capabilities. Among those Golden discusses are making it much easier for clients to use the funds they invest in as collateral for loans, and the development of “agentic wealth management” – AI bots that autonomously plan and, potentially, update an individual client's portfolio based on their risk appetite and changing circumstances. Baillie Gifford's first steps with tokenisation involve fixed income, but in time the ambition is to “build across our investment universe,” Golden says. “So be ready for Baillie Gifford on chain.”  ResourcesBaillie Gifford digital assets hubDr Ian Hunt: Replicating Legacy is Squandering the Promise of Tokenisation: We Are Building a Faster HorseShort Briefings on Long Term Thinking podcast archive Timecodes:00:00  Introduction01:40   “A world with less friction”02:15   The lesson from losing it all04:50  From Bloomberg to bonds06:35  Defining tokenisation and the blockchain08:20  Same assets, better system09:35  One golden source of truth12:35   Making assets more useful16:10   Turning assets into “Lego bricks”19:20   Stablecoins, regulation and new decision-makers24:00  Managing crypto risks26:25  The ‘same but better' rule28:00  Starting with fixed income29:20  Meeting clients where they are30:27  Book pick Glossary of terms (in order of mention): Trading volumes: The amount of buying and selling taking place in a market over a period of time. Blockchain-based tokenisation: The use of blockchain technology to create digital tokens that represent ownership of assets. Self-sovereign: Controlled directly by the owner, rather than depending entirely on a bank, platform or intermediary. Custody: The safekeeping of assets.

In this episode, Saifedean explains how fiat money is created through credit, why inflation forces people into debt and speculation, how soft money creates short-term incentives, and why Bitcoin may offer more than financial upside: peace of mind, long-term thinking and a way to opt out of the fiat system.

***"We're entering the Bitcoin golden era with all the new technologies we're discovering because for the first decade Bitcoin was still very, at least for the first five, six years, there was so little capital in the industry that not a lot was getting built. Plus Bitcoin still had all these early on issues. Now we're getting to the moment where Bitcoin is extremely solid. It's a trillion dollar industry, right, or a trillion dollar asset. So I think we're just entering the golden era." ~ Gustavo Flores*** I sat down with Gustavo Flores, the CEO of Aureo, Mexico's Bitcoin platform, and this conversation went far beyond just building software. Gustavo actually left Canada for Mexico because of the intense COVID mandates. He recognized the red flags of government overreach early on and refused to stick around. But what he found in Mexico was a completely different beast. We talked about the harsh realities of building a Bitcoin company in a low-trust society where people are conditioned to expect scams. And yet, Gustavo and his team are building some of the most impressive tools I have seen. They figured out a way to route local fiat directly to a self-custodial Lightning address, without even the need of a middleman to hold your keys. It just works. We also talked about the heavy lifting required to run La Casa de Satoshi, a physical Bitcoin hub in Mexico City. It takes a severe amount of irrational optimism to be a founder in this space, but the effort is paying off. Plus, we got into the weeds on why Lightning development is actually moving faster than people think. If you assume the best era of Bitcoin development is already behind us, you need to hear this conversation.

Today we're excited to kick off a brand new series: Building for Good with G$, where we will explore the people, projects, and communities powering the GoodDollar Ecosystem. We're thankful to our friends at GoodDollar for partnering on this series, and in the coming episodes, we're going to take you deep inside one of the most interesting ecosystems in the Web3 for good space, exploring everything from universal basic income to public goods funding, and the builders and communities creating real value on the ground.So let me start with a quick introduction for anyone who's new to GoodDollar. It is a protocol delivering digital universal basic income to people all over the world. Since launching, it's distributed its G$ token to about 1M people across the globe, many of them in underserved and emerging markets, simply for being part of the network. The vision has always been about using crypto to redistribute opportunity and give people access to the financial system.GoodDollar is also in the middle of an evolution. What started purely as a UBI project is growing into something bigger: a full ecosystem where G$ doesn't just get distributed, it circulates. It flows through builders, communities, and public goods, creating value and opportunity along the way. It's a shift from simply giving people a token, to building an entire economy around it.At the heart of that shift is a program called GoodBuilders, which funds the builders expanding the GoodDollar ecosystem. What's particularly interesting is how GoodBuilders is funded. Rather than the traditional grant model, where you apply, wait, and hope for a one-time check, GoodBuilders uses streaming funding through a platform called FlowState, where money flows to builders continuously over time.For Episode 1 in this new series, I'm super excited to be joined by Meri Fernández Sancho and Rael Kilonzo of  GoodDollar, and Graven Prest of FlowState to introduce the partnership, walk through the outcomes of GoodBuilders Season 3, highlight some of the most exciting projects in the ecosystem, and explore why this streaming funding model can be a blueprint that other ecosystems and communities adopt for themselves.In today's discussion you'll discover

(This is a rebroadcast of episode 309)See our video at https://youtu.be/BwSR9LpqRm0In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive deep into one of the most defining economic turning points in modern U.S. history: 1971, the year President Nixon ended the Bretton Woods agreement and removed the dollar from the gold standard. This decision—often overlooked—set in motion decades of inflation, currency distortion, and financial instability that still affect every aspect of life today. Drawing on Dave Smith's compelling explanation, we explore how radically different the world could have been if the U.S. had maintained a stable, sound money supply. Imagine a world without runaway inflation, without the boom-bust cycles created by loose monetary policy, and without the government's ability to quietly tax citizens through currency debasement. Smith argues that abandoning gold didn't just change the economy—it changed society, culture, and global power dynamics. We break down:What exactly happened in 1971Why stable money is foundational to liberty and psychological well-beingHow inflation quietly alters behavior, incentives, and family lifeHow fiat money fuels political overreach, endless wars, and corporate distortionWhat individuals and communities can do now, in an unstable financial eraSound money solutions, from decentralization to Bitcoin to local alternativesIf you've ever wondered why everything feels more expensive, more chaotic, and more distorted than it used to, this episode connects the dots. Understanding 1971 is the first step—deciding what to do next is the challenge we tackle together.Clip from Dave Smith | PartOfTheProblemFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Send us Fan MailWe're joined by Ben Marshall from the YouTube channel Dad Cars to discuss why and how he got involved in the automotive world. It all starts with a Mitsubishi Space Wagon, a rare car, with 7 seats, back in the day but a car Ben would love to get his hands on, although they have all seemingly vanished from the planet!Following his parents split, his Dad got a sliver Mk1 Fiat Punto as a runaround, his Mum never passed her test, despite several attempts.Music wise, Bens Dad would listen to Fleetwood Mac and Queen.A pivotal car in his childhood was an S1 Lotus Elise which belonged to a neighbour, Ben would later re-live that ownership fantasy himself as an adult.At school Ben had a pal with a burgundy Jaguar XJ, it didn't have any seatbelts in the back, and his Mum let them run around with their t-shirts off in the summer, let alone climb up the scaffolding at his house. Please check out Ben's Dad Cars channel on YouTube here: I MADE A MASERATI MPV FAMILY CAR WITH 6 SEATS!and on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/dadcars88We're pleased to say the guys from Viking Covers are staying on as Sponsor for My Dad's Car. If you are looking to keep the dust, dirt and weather off your cherished car go check them out at www.vikingcovers.co.ukSupport the showWe'd love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you'd like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee' which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom. Get in touch with us direct - MyDadsCarPodcast@gmail.com 

For episode 255 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we're doing something a little different. No guest, no interview, just a conversation about something that's been on my mind: the parallels between crypto's hype cycle and the moment AI is in right now.A few years ago, we were told crypto would change everything. It would bank the unbanked, topple corrupt institutions, create generational wealth, and solve humanity's hardest problems. Some of that came true. A lot of it didn't. And along the way, the noise, the scams, and the booms and busts drove people away and bred a lasting resentment toward the entire space.But here's the hopeful part: once the hype faded and the dust settled, the real use cases quietly emerged. Stablecoins delivering aid and remittances. Transparent, on-chain philanthropy. Tokenization funding community-owned infrastructure. The "boring," behind-the-scenes applications turned out to be the ones creating impact at scale.Today, I want to make the case that the Artificial Intelligence (AI) space is running almost the exact same playbook. The same totalizing promises, the same accelerationist fervor, and the same growing public backlash. This isn't an anti-AI episode, and it's not anti-crypto either. It's a pragmatic, human-centered take on managing hype, recognizing and mitigating real harms, and protecting the genuinely good stuff so it has a chance to grow. Because if there's one thing crypto taught us, it's that a technology can't thrive at scale without human buy-in.We'll also touch on what responsible development could look like, from the "do no harm" principle borrowed from the development world to the recent call from leaders within the AI industry itself, like Anthropic, for a collective pause mechanism.In today's discussion, you'll learn:

Could digital credit actually be making Bitcoin's bear market milder?

L'Aula della Camera ha approvato la questione di fiducia posta dal Governo per l approvazione del Dl lavoro, nel testo identico a quello licenziato dalla commissione Lavoro, con 165 voti favorevoli. L Assemblea procederà quindi all esame dei relativi 77 ordini del giorno per passare al voto finale tra la serata di oggi , mercoledì 10 giugno e il pomeriggio di domani. Il provvedimento stanzia circa 1 miliardo e interviene su diversi aspetti, dall introduzione del salario giusto al pacchetto incentivi.Il pacchetto lavoro punta sulla stabilizzazione dei contratti a termine con un nuovo incentivo: esonero contributivo del 100% per 24 mesi, fino a 500 euro mensili per ogni dipendente trasformato a tempo indeterminato, purché under 35, mai stabilizzato prima e con contratto a termine non oltre i 12 mesi, convertito tra il 1° agosto e il 31 dicembre 2026. Viene inoltre prorogato fino a fine anno il bonus per le assunzioni stabili di giovani under 35 svantaggiati , sempre con sgravio totale fino a 500 euro (650 nelle regioni Zes Unica), per 24 mesi o 12 in alcuni casi. Per le donne disoccupate o inoccupate, di qualsiasi età, è previsto uno sconto contributivo di 24 mesi fino a 650 euro, che sale a 800 nelle Zes Unica; anche qui valgono i vincoli di incremento occupazionale netto e assenza di licenziamenti nei sei mesi precedenti.Sul fronte conciliazione vita lavoro, l esonero fino all 1% dei contributi, nel limite di 50mila euro l anno per azienda, sarà operativo nel triennio 2026 2028. Il salario giusto viene ancorato al trattamento economico complessivo dei Ccnl delle parti più rappresentative, includendo tutte le voci fisse, le mensilità aggiuntive e il welfare contrattuale: parametro chiave per accedere ai nuovi bonus per giovani, donne e assunzioni nelle Zes. Sui rinnovi contrattuali scatta un meccanismo di adeguamento automatico: entro nove mesi dalla scadenza, le retribuzioni sono rivalutate del 50% dell IPCA NEI, salvo eccezioni per turismo e sanità dove decide la contrattazione.Arrivano anche nuove regole per tirocini extracurriculari (massimo 12 mesi per gruppo di imprese) e per i rider: quando emergono elementi di direzione e controllo, anche tramite algoritmi, il rapporto si presume di lavoro subordinato salvo prova contraria. In previdenza complementare, la quota di capitale riscattabile al pensionamento torna dal 60% al 50% del montante e viene rinviata a ottobre l operatività del pagamento frazionato; si limita inoltre a due mandati consecutivi la durata degli organi dei fondi negoziali. Sullo staff leasing, i lavoratori assunti a tempo indeterminato dalle agenzie potranno essere inviati in missione a termine fino a 36 mesi complessivi presso lo stesso utilizzatore, con divieto di clausole che impediscano l assunzione diretta. Infine, in via sperimentale fino al 31 dicembre 2029, viene sbloccato il distacco lavorativo anche tra aziende di settori e Ccnl diversi, previo accordo sindacale, con l obiettivo dichiarato di salvaguardare occupazione e continuità produttiva.Il commento di Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore.Perché nell'industria dell'auto il modello asiatico supera quello occidentaleRecensione di Paolo Bricco della Scorsa settimana: Il libro di Francesco Zirpoli, Auto-distruzione. Crisi e trasformazione dell'industria dell'automobile (Laterza, pagg. 234, 16), evidenzia la (attuale) superiorità del modello asiatico sul modello occidentale.Non lo fa in maniera ideologica e prescrittiva. Lo fa descrivendo soprattutto i deficit e i ripiegamenti di quello occidentale. Scrive Zirpoli, il più accreditato economista italiano di impronta organizzativista specializzato in automotive industry: «La superiorità tecnologica dei produttori asiatici e la conseguente capacità di offrire al mercato auto di piccole dimensioni rendono lo scenario di rivitalizzazione dell'endotermico inutile al fine di salvare il declino europeo. I produttori europei non riusciranno a fermare con l'edulcorazione degli obiettivi ambientali della regolamentazione l'avanzata di marchi come MG (che fa capo al gigante statale cinese SAIC) o BYD (impresa privata cinese che produce ibride molto avanzate e che recentemente ha aperto stabilimenti in Ungheria e Turchia), i quali saranno sempre più popolari sul mercato europeo, così come non argineranno Toyota e Hyundai-Kia, che continueranno ad avanzare forti di una base produttiva in Europa già molto sviluppata».La sua considerazione, che dalla analisi dei prodotti si proietta sugli equilibri geopolitici, ha due sottostanti:Il primo, condivisibile, è la natura analogica dell'auto occidentale, rispetto a una auto asiatica ormai pienamente digitalizzata. Zirpoli ricorda come, entro i prossimi cinque anni, oltre il 40% del valore di una macchina sarà determinato dalla sua componente software. Su questo Zirpoli ha ragione. Prima i giapponesi e i coreani e adesso i cinesi hanno fabbricato e fabbricano auto con una sostanza tecnologica e immateriale fin dal processo di ideazione concettuale, passando per l'accorciamento dei tempi di realizzazione e arrivando alla connettività, al grado di guida autonoma e all'esperienza di chi guida superiore rispetto alle auto europee e americane. Ha altrettanto ragione Zirpoli quando, in maniera precisa e informata, mostra come la variante peggiore di questa arcaicità dell'auto occidentale sia rappresentata dalla vecchia Fiat, di cui impietosamente Zirpoli identifica l'inizio del declino ingegneristico nella capitolazione di Vittorio Ghidella, l'ultimo vero car-guy italiano, a favore di Cesare Romiti.Il secondo sottostante alla considerazione geopolitica della (attuale) prevalenza del modello asiatico, che sembra trasparire dal libro di Zirpoli, è la ineluttabilità (o, meglio, la razionalità da efficienza sistemica) del destino dell'auto elettrica. Il corollario, non condivisibile, è il giudizio di arretratezza e di cecità assegnato da Zirpoli a chi, in Europa, ritiene che sia stato sbagliato affidare la transizione tecnologica in senso unitariamente eco-green, con policy calate dall'alto. Fa bene Zirpoli a ricordare che le case automobilistiche tedesche, in particolare Volkswagen, hanno sostenuto il Greendeal. Ma il loro errore di calcolo nella transizione e nei tempi non cambia la natura ottusamente dirigista di queste misure.Il commento di Francesco Zirpoli, professore ordinario di economia e gestione dell'innovazione e direttore del Center for Automotive and Mobility Innovation (Cami) dell'Università Ca' Foscari VeneziaFedervini, export giù nel primo trimestre ma +8,7% gli spumanti in GdoPrimo trimestre in frenata per le esportazioni italiane di vino con un calo a valore del 13,3%; segno positivo, invece, per gli spiriti con 5,8% nei primi due mesi. Sul fronte interno salgono le vendite nel canale della Grande distribuzione organizzata di vini (+2,2%) e spumanti (+8,7%), mentre sui consumi fuori casa, pesa l'effetto dell'inflazione, tranne che nella ristorazione di fascia alta. È il quadro tracciato nel corso dell'assemblea generale di Federvini oggi a Roma, settore che si trova ad affrontare un pericoloso mix tra evoluzione dei consumi, tensioni commerciali, equilibri geopolitici e ridefinizione delle rotte commerciali. "Siamo portatori di un valore strategico-economico, culturale, identitario che nessun dazio può intaccare, anche se il 2025 ci ha messo alla prova - ha detto il presidente di Federvini Giacomo Ponti - le nostre imprese hanno dimostrato una capacità di adattamento straordinaria, ora è fondamentale che la ratifica dell'accordo Ue-Usa si concluda, visto che l'attuale regime al 10% in vigore fino al 24 luglio". E ha aggiunto, "non possiamo pensare di sostituire il mercato americano, dobbiamo invece diversificare, innovare, presidiare i tavoli europei". E i consumatori americani restano fedeli al made in Italy. Di fronte a una prospettiva di rincaro del 20%, secondo l'Osservatorio Federvini in collaborazione con Nomisma, la stragrande maggioranza dichiara che non modificherebbe le proprie abitudini d'acquisto, il principale driver di scelta resta l'alta qualità percepita associata ai vini italiani (47%), agli spirits (48%) e all'Aceto Balsamico di Modena Igp (42%). Tornando in Italia in Gdo, secondo l'Osservatorio, oltre a vino e spumanti, avanzano anche gli spiriti (+2,9% a volume), trainati dagli aperitivi alcolici e dai sodati; cresce anche il Gin, mentre la Grappa rimane in terreno negativo. Segno positivo, invece, per gli aceti, in crescita sia a valore (+2,4%) che a volume (+1%), trascinati dall'aceto di mele e dalla stabilità dell'Aceto Balsamico di Modena Igp.È intervenuto a Focus Economia Giacomo Ponti, presidente Federvini.

This week Ian and Dave get hit with a double-barreled blast. One an egregious attack on Dave's wallet, the latter an assault on our normally favorable Italian automotive predilections. We love you!

Former investment banker Bix Weir rejoins the program for a deep discussion on the manipulation of reality through fiat currencies, global finance, monetary metals and silver. We discuss the endless money printing taking place behind the scenes with little realistic oversight or transparency and the growing concerns surrounding the stability of the global financial system.  Bix shares his perspective on the true role of gold and silver within the monetary system and why he believes there is far more gold in existence than the public has been led to believe. We explore how monetary metals continue to play a central role in global power structures even as governments and central banks publicly downplay their importance. We also discuss the Epstein case and how deeply intertwined it appears to be with powerful institutions, industries and global influence networks. Bix argues that fully exposing the extent of the corruption and compromise could unleash a level of distrust that threatens confidence in the broader system itself.Learn more and follow Bix Weir at RoadtoRoota.comSee exclusives and Webinars at SarahWestall.Substack.comProtect your assets with a company you can trust - Get the private & better price list - Go to SarahWestall.com/MilesFranklin

Hayes argues that fiat liquidity, not legislation, is the only variable that matters.

When we show devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we fulfill her prophecy that “all generations will call me blessed.” The Catechism clearly shows us how such devotion does not compete with devotion to God, but in fact fosters adoration of God. Fr. Mike declares that the better we know Mary, the better we know Jesus, and the more we love Mary, the more we love Jesus. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 971-975. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Following the war, Pamela entered a transactional yet passionate relationship with Gianni Agnelli, the heir to the Fiatempire. Since Fiat had supplied the Axis powers, Agnelli required significant reputation rehabilitation to prevent Allied confiscation of the company. Pamela utilized the political skills she learned from Churchill to introduce Agnelli to world leaders, including JFK, effectively washing away his wartime associations and establishing him as a global statesman. In exchange, Agnelli provided her with a lavish lifestyle, including massive jewels and a Paris apartment. However, her personal life remained complicated; her relationship with her son, Winston, was notoriously difficult and lacked maternal warmth. Young Winston often felt neglected and eventually sided with his father, Randolph, which deeply hurt Pamela. While she remained close to Winston Churchill, her presence often sparked jealousy among his biological children, who struggled with her unprecedented access to their father. (4/8)1650 HOLLAND
