In dieser Episode spricht Philipp Sandner mit Dominik Peer über seine Arbeit am Frankfurt School Blockchain Center. Dominik erklärt, wie die Frankfurt School im Rahmen der “Talents” Programme Studierende in den Bereichen Web3, DeFi und Bitcoin weiterbildet. Er gibt Einblicke in seine Arbeit in diesem innovativen Bereich und zeigt, wie er auch AI-Tools, wie ChatGPT, dazu nutzt, Lerninhalte zum Thema DeFi zu verbessern. Die beiden diskutieren im Anschluss die Limitierungen, welche einen großflächigen Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz in der Bildung noch erschweren.

Bitcoin ist heute etwa 70 Prozent weniger wert als zu seinem Allzeithoch. Währenddessen ist die Inflation in der Eurozone bei fast 10 Prozent angelangt. Doch das ändert nichts daran, dass manche meinen: Bitcoin ist ein toller Inflationsschutz. Das mündet auch darin, dass immer mehr Sparpläne für BTC angeboten werden, bei denen man regelmäßig kleine Beträge in die Kryptowährung investiert. Aber: Ist das nach dem großen Crash 2022 noch gerechtfertigt, vom Inflaitonsschutz zu sprechen und warum hält sich das Narrativ so beständig? Das diskutieren wir heute mit Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner vom Frankfurt School Blockchain Center und sprechen über: - Die Marktlage nach dem großen Krypto-Crash - Wo das "Inflation Hedge"-Narrativ herkommt - Warum BTC als Inflationsschutz verkauft wird - Ob BTC eher Gold oder eher Tech-Aktien ähnelt - Welche Rolle Michael Saylor von MicroStrategy dabei spielt - Sammeln statt Zocken: Der große Trend zu Bitcoin-Sparplänen - Ethereum & "The Merge": Wie es bei der zweit wichtigsten Kryptowährung weiter geht Wenn dir der Podcast gefallen hat, gibt uns ein paar Sterne und/oder ein Follow auf den Podcast-Plattformen und abonniere unseren Podcast bei: - Spotify - Apple Podcast - Google Podcasts - Amazon Music - Anchor.fm und besuche unsere News-Portale - Trending Topics - Tech & Nature Danke fürs Zuhören!

Der Krypto-Markt kommt nicht zur Ruhe: Nach den Massenkündigungen bei Firmen wie Coinbase, Bitpanda oder Crypto.com kommt jetzt die nächste Phase - wenn Krypto-Firmen komplett zusammenbrechen. So muss der Krypto-Fonds Three Arrows Capital liquidiert werden, BlockFi und Voyager mit hunderten Millionen Dollar ausgeholfen werden, und Shortseller wetten bereits auf den Kollaps des nächsten Stablecoins. Gemeinsam mit dem Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner vom Frankfurt School Blockchain Center durchleuchten wir heute, wie und warum dieses Kartenhaus gerade zusammen bricht. Es geht um: - seine generelle Markteinschätzung zu Bitcoin und Co. - die Kaskaden-Effekte, die immer weitere Kreise ziehen - die Zusammenhänge zwischen Three Arrows Capital, BlockFi und Voyager - die Stablecoins Tether (USDT) und USDC - die Transfer of Funds-Regel, MiCA und die Rolle der EU - die Folgen für DeFi - die Rolle von FTX und Sam Bankman-Fried - ob Bitcoin von dem Crash profitieren kann - warum Bitcoin bei niedrigen Preisen "grüner" wird Wenn dir der Podcast gefallen hat, gibt uns ein paar Sterne und/oder ein Follow auf den Podcast-Plattformen und abonniere unseren Podcast bei: - Spotify - Apple Podcast - Google Podcasts - Amazon Music - Anchor.fm und besuche unsere News-Portale - Trending Topics - Tech & Nature Danke fürs Zuhören!

Von 2,7 auf 1,2 Billionen Euro Market Cap hinunter in einem halben Jahr - der Krypto-Markt hat sich nach dem Hype-Jahr 2021 mehr als halbiert und ist jetzt in etwa dort, wo er im Februar 2021 war. Das ist schon mal passiert, wenn auch nicht so grob. 2018 crashte der Markt um 80 Prozent, und dann kam der berühmt-berüchtigte Krypto-Winter. Ob und in welcher Form nun der neue Krypto-Winter kommt, das diskutiert Jakob Steinschaden heute im Podcast mit Cedric Heidt vom Frankfurt School Blockchain Center. Sie sprechen über: - Massenkündigungen bei Krypto-Unternehmen wie Gemini oder Bitso - Ob weitere Entlassungswellen zu erwarten sind - Wie stark Exchanges wie Binance oder Coinbase vom Krypto-Winter getroffen werden - Was der Auslöser für den jüngsten Crash war - Welche Rolle der Kollaps von UST und LUNA im Crash spielte - Welche Rolle Anchor Protocol für den Kollaps von UST und LUNA spielte - Welche neuen Projekte während dem letzten Krypto-Winter entstanden - CO2-Token, Self-Sovereign Identity & Tokenisierung von Immobilien: Woran die Blockchain-Industrie in den nächsten Jahren arbeiten wird Wenn dir der Podcast gefallen hat, gibt uns ein paar Sterne und/oder ein Follow auf den Podcast-Plattformen und abonniere unseren Podcast bei: - Spotify - Apple Podcast - Google Podcasts - Amazon Music - Anchor.fm und besuche unsere News-Portale - Trending Topics - Tech & Nature Danke fürs Zuhören!

In this podcast episode, I talk to one of the leading figures in the German-speaking blockchain and crypto scene - Professor Sandner. As founder and Head of the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center, Prof. Sandner talks about why blockchain education is so important and what programs they have created.We also talk about NFTs, legal frameworks, Terra Luna, Tether and much more!

Philipp Sandner (Head of the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center) und Maximilian Bruckner (21e6 Capital) erklären, warum nach ihren Analysen Bitcoin und andere ernstzunehmende Kryptowährungen fast zwingend langfristig steigende Kurse verzeichnen müssen. Dabei berücksichtigen sie die weltwirtschaftliche Lage, Inflation, regulatorische Hintergründe und auch die allgemeine Adaption der Währungen.

Prof. Philipp Sandner ist Head of Frankfurt School Blockchain Center, Autor, Mitglied im FinTech Council des Finanzministeriums und Teil weiterer Arbeitsgruppen und Organisationen, um die Blockchain-Technologie in Deutschland und Europa voranzutreiben.Mehr Infos zu Philipp: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippsandner/Zu Philipps Büchern: https://www.die-blockchain.ist/Zum Blockchain Center der Frankfurt School:https://www.frankfurt-school.de/home/research/centres/blockchain Imprint: www.sustaind.de

Flirten und Daten fürs Depot in der Nach-Corona-Zeit - warum Anleger entspannt auf die drohenden Evergrande-Pleite in China schauen sollten und die aktuellen Ereignisse rund um die Kryptowährungen, vor allem in China und El Salvador, das sind sind die Themen in dieser Episode von Börsenfunk, in Interviews mit Volker Schilling von Greiff Capital, Folker Hellmeyer von Solvecon Invest und Prof. Philipp Sandner vom Frankfurt School Blockchain Center.

Wir sprechen mit Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner, dem Leiter des Blockchain Centers an der Frankfurt School of Finance and Management in Frankfurt am Main über die verschiedensten Aspekte der Blockchain. Zuerst erfahren wir, was genau eine Blockchain ist, welche Gefahren und Vorteile sie mit sich bringt und ob sie ein Risiko für die gesamte Bankenwelt darstellt. ➡️ Zum Angebot von BSDEX (inkl. 25€ Startguthaben für die ersten 1000 Neuanmeldungen!): https://www.finanzfluss.de/out/bsdex * Im weiteren Verlauf geht es um die Zukunft der Blockchain-Technologie und ihr Potenzial, die Welt, wie wir sie kennen, grundlegend zu verändern und Industrien umzukrempeln. Wie sieht es aus, wenn wir unsere Gesundheits- und Identitätsdaten auf der Blockchain speichern oder Verwaltungsaufgaben auf ihr abwickeln? Und könnte man auch Wertpapierhandel dezentral über die Blockchain abbilden? Dr. Philipp Sandner gibt uns auch ein Update zum digitalen Euro, wie weit dieser in seiner Entwicklung vorangeschritten ist und welche Auswirkungen er womöglich auf die Industrie und Kapitalmärkte haben wird.

Dass der E-Euro bald kommt, wird konkreter: Im Juli hat die Europäische Zentralbank eine zweijährige Untersuchungsphase für den digitalen Euro eingeläutet. Die meisten von uns zahlen jedoch bereits mit Karte und überweisen per Banking-App, haben im Alltag also nur mit Online-Transaktionen zu tun und in der Pandemie vermutlich kaum mit Bargeld hantiert. Was wäre denn überhaupt das Neue an einem digitalen Euro, an welchem die EZB basteln möchte? „Mit dem digitalen Euro erlangt Europa eine gewisse Souveränität zurück“, sagt Philipp Sandner, Professor an der Frankfurt School of Finance & Management und Leiter des Frankfurt School Blockchain Center. Damit könnte die Europäische Union eine eigene, digitale Zahlungsinfrastruktur herstellen, ohne auf Kreditkartenunternehmen angewiesen zu sein, sagt der Wirtschaftswissenschafter im STANDARD-Podcast Edition Zukunft. Früh dran ist die EZB mit dem Wunsch einer europaweit einheitlichen digitalen Währung nicht, denn auch die chinesische, US-amerikanische und schwedische Zentralbanken planen bereits jeweils eigene digitale Währungen. Zudem werden Kryptowährungen immer mehr akzeptiert und in El Salvador vielleicht sogar bald staatliches Zahlungsmittel. Läuft die EZB damit einem Zug hinterher, der schon abgefahren ist? Zumindest zu spät „auf's Radar gepackt“ hätte sie das Thema, sagt Sander. Und welche Risiken birgt der digitale Euro zudem? Haben wir Hackerangriffe oder die technische Überwachung unserer Finanzen durch die Notenbank zu fürchten, wie das kritische Stimmen etwa dem E-Yuan, Chinas digitaler Währung, vorwerfen? Darüber spricht der Wirtschaftswissenschafter im Podcast und erklärt außerdem, wie lange es dauern wird, bis der digitale Euro tatsächlich einsatzbereit ist und man damit im Supermarkt oder einer Bar bezahlen kann, wie die Wallet, also die digitale Geldbörse funktioniert, was ihn von Kryptowährungen wie Bitcoin unterscheidet und ob wir vielleicht bald kein Bargeld mehr nutzen werden.

The German Bill to Permit Crypto SecuritiesIn terms of large countries, Germany is a fast mover in blockchain legislation Philipp Sandner, Blockchain Expert Labor Day SpecialSince the USA are one of our biggest markets we publish some specials on federal holidays. This is one of those occasions. Despite this we stick to our publication of Video on Thursday and podcast the following night, so you all have the content on your devices the next morning. Our GuestCurrently, there is a piece of legislation in the law-making process, to permit securities issued on the blockchain in Germany.

The Bill to become Germany's Crypto Securities LawWe are talking about a bill to revolutionize the German capital market since you could move existing securities on the blockchain, as well as emit securities completely without "paper" on the blockchain.
