The advantage of being an old man is that you can remember the past. This gives you a different perspective on current events. But if that old man is foolish enough to share his thoughts, the average person will smile tolerantly and pat him on his head and tell him that he is just “a lovable old dinosaur who is out-of-touch and living in the past.”Screw it. I'm going to go ahead say what I'm thinking.A few years ago, Big Data was going to change the world. Big Data came and went.Then we got excited about ideas that were “disruptive.” Slash-and-burn disruption by a bunch of young pirates was going to change everything.The Blockchain was going to change everything. You couldn't go anywhere without someone blathering about Crypto and NFT's.Now AI is going change everything. And it definitely will, for awhile.Technology saves money by reducing labor costs, which is just a fancy way of saying that technology allows you to replace people with machines. Unemployment will increase, and Trump will blame Obama.And so it goes.I had an appointment in 1977 to meet with a loan officer at First National Bank in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to borrow $1,000.The greeter at the bank sat me in a chair in the waiting room. I was 19 years old.Smart phones did not exist. My only option was to paw through the pile of old magazines on the coffee table in front of me. Can you believe that every one of those magazines was about banking? The banker puts his banking magazines on the coffee table in his lobby when he is finished reading them. And the dentist puts his dental magazines on the coffee table in his lobby. This is how the Business Titans of Smallville keep their costs under control.And they do it for our convenience.I began reading a magazine about banking and it catapulted my brain into a tumbling somersault from which I have never recovered. The feature article was about ATM's, but it didn't call them ATM's. It referred to them as automated teller machines.“The modern bank executive can now reduce his payroll significantly because these new automated teller machines work without pay 24 hours a day, and they never make mistakes.”My eyes were jacked open so wide that I was unable to blink.ATM's were not invented for our convenience! They were invented so that banks could fire 60% of their bank tellers!“These new tellers require no health insurance, no air-conditioned offices, no telephones, no sick days, and they take no vacations. Your customers will thank you for giving them the ability to make deposits and withdrawals 24 hours a day from a variety of convenient locations.”The man I saw in my mind was the banker in the old Monopoly game by Parker Brothers. The way to win the game of Monopoly is to gobble up all the things that people cannot avoid, then take everything they own when an unlucky roll of the dice puts them at your mercy. It's perfectly legal.I played Monopoly when I was young, but I don't play it anymore.Parker Brothers began selling Monopoly in 1935. But that game's origins trace back to an earlier version called “The Landlord's Game” created by Elizabeth Magie. She crafted her game back in 1904, when Teddy Roosevelt was making his mark on history by curbing the excesses of the richest and most powerful men in America.Google, Apple and Meta still play Monopoly. As do the insurance companies, the oil companies, the pharmaceutical companies and the medical corporations that control virtually all the doctors. But the version of Monopoly they play isn't sold by Parker Brothers.To win, all you have to do is gobble up the things that people cannot avoid, then take everything they own when an unlucky roll of the dice puts them at your mercy. It's perfectly legal.Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are the Republicans on

A Future of Finance interview with Alexandre Kech, CEO of GLEIF.There are two main obstacles to the scaling of the markets in digital assets and one of them is the lack of interoperability between blockchain networks and between blockchain networks and traditional financial markets. The default answer, hallowed by history in multiple industries, is standards. By enabling different networks to exchange data, they multiply the overall volume of counterparties and transactions. Unfortunately, attempts to achieve interoperability standards in digital assets suffer from limited usage and winner-takes-all proprietorial schemes, condemning most market participants to deploy risky or clumsy workarounds. So it is significant that the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), set up by the Financial Stability Board in 2014 to overcome a major accelerant of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007 to 2009 – namely, the lack of a trusted counterparty identification standard on a global scale – has broadened its work to encompass digital assets. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, spoke to Alex Kech, CEO of GLEIF. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nos últimos 20 anos, as plataformas digitais transformaram radicalmente a forma como compramos, negociamos e nos conectamos com fornecedores. Se antes falávamos apenas em digitalização de processos básicos, hoje vivemos em um cenário de leilões reversos, integração com ERPs e dashboards completos. Mas a grande pergunta é: estamos prontos para o próximo salto? O futuro de Compras não é apenas comprar melhor, mas comprar de forma mais inteligente. Plataformas que já começam a incorporar IA para prever preços, sugerir fornecedores e até negociar via chatbots. Analytics em tempo real, com insights preditivos que mostram riscos e oportunidades antes que eles aconteçam. Experiências muito mais intuitivas, leves e acessíveis tanto para compradores quanto para fornecedores. ESG e compliance integrados de forma nativa, entregando indicadores automáticos de sustentabilidade e diversidade. Blockchain garantindo segurança, transparência e contratos inteligentes. Ecossistemas conectados, em que procurement se une a fintechs para destravar crédito e soluções financeiras na cadeia. Já vemos exemplos globais de startups disruptivas, gigantes como Coupa, Ariba e GEP se reinventando, e empresas que enxergam procurement tech não como um suporte, mas como inteligência de negócios estratégica. E aqui fica a reflexão: As plataformas vão substituir o comprador ou potencializá-lo? Fornecedores menores conseguirão acompanhar essa transformação? O verdadeiro valor das plataformas vai além de savings? O futuro já está batendo à porta, e cabe a nós decidir se vamos apenas usá-lo ou liderá-lo.

Blockchains operate as a public ledger, ‘disclosing' the entire transaction history and associated data to everyone. While verifiability and traceability are key traits, as blockchains gain global adoption, those very features hinder the process. Self custody, on-chain identities, corporate strategies, transaction history, private deals, all represent highly sensitive information that call for provable confidentiality. Fully homomorphic encryption has long been considered the ‘holy grail' of cryptography as it enables computation to be performed on encrypted data without the need of prior decryption. This basically translates to true end-to-end encryption, both on-chain and off-chain. As cryptographic research advances, so does the scalability and applicability of FHE. As a result of more than 5 years of work, Zama has now released Zama Protocol, which enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2 using FHE, without any additional execution burden. By encrypting all ciphertexts with the same public key, FHE ensures composability and seamless integration across different blockchains and applications, making it a true cross-chain confidentiality layer. Through parallel execution, Zama Protocol already surpasses Ethereum's throughput, yet future roadmap includes open-source development of FPGA & ASIC in order to scale it even further, to accommodate faster, non-EVM chains.Topics covered in this episode:Zama's progress in FHEZama's confidential blockchain ProtocolSecurity guarantees of MPC coprocessorsMaintaining a healthy operator setSlashing and governanceZama's throughputOpen-sourcing FPGA & ASIC developmentThe Zama token & its implicationsZama's public testnetPrivate votingZama fundingRegulationsExpanding use cases beyond blockchainsFuture goals and expectationsEpisode links:Rand Hindi on XZama on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

John is joined by Avichal Garg, Managing Partner of Electric Capital and Chairman of the Crypto Council for Innovation, and Emily Kapur, Co-Chair of Quinn Emanuel's Blockchain & Digital Asset Litigation Practice and partner in the firm's Silicon Valley office. They discuss the complex legal and regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrency, digital assets, and the intersection with emerging technologies like AI. The decentralization and autonomy of crypto systems challenges traditional legal concepts. Crypto technology—ranging from permissionless innovation to autonomous systems—raises foundational legal questions about jurisdiction, liability, and personhood, especially when code may function as both speech and money. While early legal battles focused on whether tokens are securities, today's disputes often focus on jurisdictional issues and cross-border liability for autonomous systems with governance distributed around the world. U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins, while posing regulatory and competitive challenges, may also be an unparalleled tool for promoting U.S. soft power and economic influence. They can bypass traditional banking systems and reach global users, reinforcing the dollar's dominance. The recently enacted GENIUS Act provides a framework for regulating stablecoins in the U.S. without imposing restrictive reserve requirements, in contrast to European approaches. The rapid evolution of crypto trading venues—centralized exchanges like Coinbase, decentralized protocols like Uniswap, and traditional financial instruments such as ETFs and digital asset treasuries—highlight the legal uncertainty about which regulatory entities have jurisdiction. The increasing use of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) poses additional challenges under theories that all participants in a DAO are potentially liable as partners in a joint venture. More legal innovation is needed, perhaps even entirely new legal entities or frameworks, to accommodate a future in which autonomous code can hold assets, transact, and potentially commit fraud. Courts may begin to shape precedent in the absence of legislation, but a proactive regulatory approach or legal sandbox might be the key to responsibly managing these potentially disruptive forces. Ultimately, the question is whether the law will domesticate crypto or will crypto force legal innovation?Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Guest: Matthew Le Merle — CEO & Co-Founder of Blockchain Coinvestors, global blockchain VC, early investor in 1200+ startups (Coinbase, Kraken, OpenSea), author, and Silicon Valley board veteran. Background & Early Lessons: Matthew began his working life delivering newspapers as a child in rainy London, developing a lasting sense of responsibility and the importance of “seeing things through.” Earned a scholarship to Oxford for his academic and athletic excellence, then completed an MBA at Stanford. Built a career as a global advisor, executive, private equity leader, and later immersed himself in blockchain innovation. Blockchain Thesis: With 30+ years in Silicon Valley, Matthew saw the digital transformation of communication and content, but recognized a “missing link” for moving value securely over the internet. Blockchain/distributed ledger technology solved foundational challenges for digitizing finance — enabling secure, trustless, peer-to-peer transactions globally, overcoming flaws in traditional banking rails. Co-founded Blockchain Coinvestors, which invests via a fund-of-funds model across hundreds of VC funds and directly into more than 1,200 blockchain startups worldwide, spanning over 110 unicorns. Bitcoin's Future & Role: While he acknowledges that Bitcoin was a catalyst, Le Merle stresses it's the underlying technology's impact on payments, finance, and commerce that's world-changing. Believes Bitcoin (BTC) has enduring value as a store of value and “sovereign alternative” for people in unstable economies — sees it as “inevitable” that native digital finance will continue to grow globally. However, he notes BTC's long-term future depends on further technical evolution to enable faster, lower-cost, mass payments — real innovation will be when it is also digital money at global scale, not just a store of value. AI and the Arms Race: Sees both risk and opportunity in the intersection of blockchain, AI, and quantum computing: as threats emerge (e.g., AI-powered codebreaking), blockchain protocols must evolve, and the most secure blockchains—especially Bitcoin—will continue to improve. AI/quantum also unlocks new use cases (micro-payments, automated value flows) that legacy finance simply cannot address, making blockchain infrastructure and security ever more valuable. Venture Landscape & Defensibility: Le Merle's strategy: back the best VC fund managers, who in turn back top founders at the earliest stages, spreading risk and betting on the mavericks who build breakthrough companies. Warns that in AI (and other tech cycles), even groundbreaking startups can be displaced instantly by a new feature from a giant (e.g., OpenAI, Apple), so founders should build beyond “just a feature”—focus on defensible, deeply integrated solutions. Big Picture & What's Next: Digital assets, payments, and financial systems will become natively digital—blockchain is still in “early innings.” The best investment opportunities are at the convergence of Web3 and new agent/AI toolkits. Massive tech incumbents (Apple, Google, Microsoft) will keep acquiring—so both quick exits and rare breakout “escape velocity” stories are possible for top startups.
It's a strange kind of numbness—waking up each day, clocking in, and wondering if this is all there is. You trade your energy for a paycheck, but after bills and burnout, there's not much left for what actually matters to you. Somewhere along the line, the idea of freedom got swapped for just getting by. And while the thought of building something different feels risky, staying stuck starts to feel like the bigger gamble. Avi Vatsa is an entrepreneur blending law, tech, and marketing, with ventures ranging from a digital agency to an AI startup. He's launching a book, You Can Do It All, in December and a podcast, Founder Mode, this month. Today, he shares his journey and introduced Dial Laura, an AI voice agent for automating bookings and lead follow-up. He emphasized building systems that enable freedom—not just profit—and mastering key skills without losing focus. His message: you don't have to choose one path—you can design your own. Stay tuned! Quotes: “I build businesses to dismantle the systems that take advantage of people. My end game is financial, spiritual, and personal freedom.” “Everybody has a finite amount of time, and either you trade time for money, or you do something with leverage where you can buy back your time.” “Humans had to adapt to computers to do things with them. Now, computers adapt to humans.” Resources: Avi Vatsa — Entrepreneur, Human Rights Leader, Tech Visionary, Author, and Founder of “Founder Mode” Podcast.
