Neal unpacks his detached craft plausible worlds that inadvertently blueprint reality while cautioning against Web3's traps: Criminal stigma, abysmal UX alienating normies, and risks of becoming surveillance superhighways or bank shiny toys. Spotlighting Lamina 1's launch with "Artifact" (a Weta-forged sci-fi game), he envisions success as creative output flourishing where blockchain fades to the background.

In this conversation, Peter and Chris discuss the Cardano Foundation's initiative to acquire top-level domain names through ICANN, emphasizing the importance of community support and intellectual property. They explore the integration of Web2 and Web3 technologies, particularly through the Handshake project, and the development of trustless systems using smart contracts. The discussion also highlights the differences between various Web3 domain systems and the significance of community engagement in shaping the future of these initiatives.TakeawaysThe Cardano Foundation is seeking community support for acquiring top-level domains.ICANN's opening for new domains is a rare opportunity.Intellectual property in domain names is crucial for brand protection.Domains can be seen as the original NFTs, unique and valuable.Integrating Web2 and Web3 can enhance user experience and accessibility.The Handshake project aims to decentralize domain name management.Smart contracts can facilitate trustless interactions in domain ownership.Lower friction in accessing domain services is essential for adoption.Community engagement is vital for the success of the Cardano domain initiative.The proposal is a long-term vision that requires ongoing support.Sound bites"Domains are the original NFT.""This is pretty big.""This is an absolute winner."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Cardano's Domain Name Initiative02:48 Understanding ICANN and Top-Level Domains06:09 The Importance of Intellectual Property in Domain Names08:58 Integrating Web2 and Web3: The Handshake Project11:53 Building Trustless Systems with Smart Contracts15:06 Comparing Web3 Domains: Handshake vs. Unstoppable Domains17:58 Community Engagement and Future ProspectsDISCLAIMER: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and is not financial, investment, or legal advice.

The post quantum encryption migration is going to be a challenge, but how much of a challenge? There are several reasons why it is different from every other protocol and cypher iteration in the past. Is today's hardware up to the task? Is it just swapping out a library, or is there more to it? What is the extent of software, systems, and architecture that have to be updated or replaced to complete the migration? Can we get it all done by 2030? Sandy Carielli and Martha Bennett join us to answer these questions and dive into one area of tech that hasn't been discussed much when it comes to post-quantum encryption: blockchain.

JP explains why an earlier 2022–2023 integration attempt stalled due to limitations in Monero's old multisig system and security concerns, and reveals THORChain is now developing a new threshold signature scheme to make Monero swaps trust-minimized and scalable. He outlines an expected rollout through the Vultisig wallet, stagenet, and finally mainnet by Q1 2025. The conversation explores the role of privacy in crypto, competition and collaboration with projects like Serai and Haven, and THORChain's return to its core mission as a decentralized custodian network. JP emphasizes Monero's importance for financial sovereignty and future AI-driven economies, and invites the Monero community to contribute to the integration effort.

Dave Sedacca joins Morning Movers to discuss the state of institutional adoption of blockchain technology. He says there's been meaningful momentum from the "tradfi" participants to "defi." He says investors should do their own research to gauge their exposure to the blockchain space, saying that it "is something you'll want a piece of going forward." Dave says investors can find "clear and transparent" ownership of their assets on-chain, using real estate as a potential example.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

As blockchain tech gets co-opted by legacy players for efficiency gains, has the revolution lost its edge? Crypto philosopher Paul Dylan-Ennis and Gitcoin's Head of Governance Dr. Nick Almond join Friederike to probe this shift from 2017's visionary DAOs to today's Telegram-negotiated votes and whale capture. Rooted in philosophy and complex systems, they unpack mind-hacking risks via data micro-targeting, the polycentric bulwarks (full nodes, prediction markets) shielding against cultural flips, and why epistemic tools could fortify crypto against real-world censorship.

with @DarenMatsuoka @eddylazzarin @rhhackettEach year, the State of Crypto report analyzes the data — cutting through the noise — to track crypto's evolution across markets, technology, policy, culture, and more. Now in its fourth edition, the 2025 State of Crypto report reveals how this once-fringe technology has hit recent all-time highs and gone mainstream — from stablecoins and tokenized assets to rapid adoption by major financial institutions.In this episode, we dig into the findings and themes from this year's report with lead author Daren Matsuoka, a16z crypto's head of data and fund strategy; and Eddy Lazzarin, a16z crypto's chief technology officer. We talk about what's changed since last year, why stablecoins are “suddenly” taking over, and how institutions — from fintechs to legacy banks — are embracing crypto technologies.We also look ahead at trends like: AI and crypto (and where the jobs are moving);why stablecoins have gone mainstreaminstitutional adoption — from Stripe and Visa to BlackRock and Robinhoodprivacy on public blockchainstokenization of real world assetsbitcoin's resurgence and the rise of "digital gold"where developer energy is goingwhat's really happening with memecoins, perps, and prediction marketsthe changing regulatory environment in the U.S.and what the next phase of crypto's “adulthood” might look like — what happens next year when crypto turns 18Timestamps00:00 Introduction02:39 Overview of the 2025 State of Crypto Report05:04 The Evolution and Mainstreaming of Crypto08:27 Crypto's Market Cycles and All-Time Highs12:08 The Price-Innovation Cycle (and Its Dislocation)15:40 Memecoins, Stablecoins, and Entrepreneurs17:25 AI and Attracting Tech Talent21:18 Crypto Adoption and User Metrics26:58 Airdrops, Farming, and Changing Metas31:24 Bitcoin's Resurgence and Store of Value42:09 Institutional Adoption and Market Dynamics50:08 The Evolution of Stablecoins54:20 The Growing Role of Stablecoins in the Global Economy01:00:54 The Importance of Privacy in Crypto01:08:46 Tokenization of ‘Real World Assets'01:20:46 Perpetual Futures and Prediction Markets01:29:41 Outlook for the Future
Peggy zooms in on one of the seven critical infrastructure verticals: energy and power, which is projected to require a staggering $23 trillion in investment through 2040. She unpacks the global trends shaping the sector—from the rise of renewables to digital transformation—and explores how we must rethink infrastructure to meet rising expectations. She also discusses: · Why energy demand is rising and how renewable energy and low-carbon sources will come into play. · The emerging role of small modular reactors and what countries are already taking action. · The need for grid resilience—and how digital twins, edge, and AI (artificial intelligence) can help. http://peggysmedleyshow.com

Interview with Sean Wade, CEO of Power Metal Resources PLC & Marcel Nally, Founder of MinestartersOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/power-metal-resources-aimpow-advancing-a-pipeline-of-high-potential-exploration-projects-6311Recording date: 15th October 2025Power Metal Resources is investing £3 million to become the cornerstone investor in Minestarters, a blockchain-based platform designed to address critical funding shortages in early-stage mining exploration. The AIM-listed mining exploration incubator will acquire 49% of Minestarters, gaining access to significantly larger capital pools through tokenisation while maintaining visibility of investment value through tradable digital assets.CEO Sean Wade describes the funding environment for early-stage mining over the past two to three years as "a desert" where even "fantastic prospects" that "would have flown off the shelves during COVID" have struggled to raise adequate capital. This capital scarcity prevents companies from investing sufficient sums to properly develop resources, with projects requiring significant drilling programs finding markets closed or capital available only at prohibitive costs.Minestarters addresses this gap by issuing 120 million tokens backed by real-world mining assets. The platform will deploy 70 million tokens to the public in tranches, with the first 20 million released at $0.10 per token. All proceeds flow into a treasury used exclusively to fund selected mineral exploration projects through a rigorous investment committee that expects to reject 90-95% of applicants.A key innovation involves smart contracts that automate milestone-based funding, releasing capital only as projects achieve predetermined objectives. This approach reduces capital leakage and human error compared to traditional mining finance, where project managers might request additional funds mid-programme without clear accountability frameworks.Wade emphasises the partnership creates immediately visible value contrasting with conventional exploration investments: "I could tomorrow spend £3 million on an asset in Canada. Nothing's going on my balance sheet that's visible to a shareholder for three years plus." The tradable tokens provide 24/7 price transparency, enabling investors to track Power Metal's Minestarters holdings in real-time while the company leverages its proven IPO expertise to provide exit pathways for funded projects.View Power Metal Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/power-metal-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Embracing chaos as a source for positive change is a powerful mindset shift. Instead of viewing disruption as a disaster to be resisted, you can learn to see it as the energy of possibility—a necessary period of deconstruction before a better creation can emerge. This process requires retaining hope and using the pause created by the chaos to your advantage. 1. Retaining Hope: The Inner Anchor in Chaos Focusing on Agency (What You Can Control): Chaos is defined by what's out of control. Retain hope by aggressively focusing on your immediate sphere of influence: your daily routine, your physical health, your choice of response, and your mindset. Small acts of personal order create pockets of hope. Practicing "Hopecore": Actively look for and amplify positive elements. This means limiting overwhelming news consumption, surrounding yourself with supportive people, and intentionally engaging in activities that bring you genuine joy or a sense of purpose. 2. Seeing Chaos as a Source for Change Chaos is, by definition, a state where old structures have broken down, making it the most fertile ground for transformation. The Deconstruction Principle: A chaotic event (a job loss, a global crisis, a relationship change) doesn't just destroy; it clears the slate of outdated assumptions, commitments, and habits that were holding you back. This forced deconstruction reveals what truly matter. 3. Bending Change for Positive: The "Positive Chaos" Mindset To "bend" the energy of chaos for positive outcomes, you must adopt an active, experimental approach. 4. Using the Pause: Transformational Stillness Chaos often imposes a pause—a stop to old momentum—which is a profound gift for reflection and intention. Mindful Observation: Use the pause for mindfulness, not just passive waiting. Observe your situation without judgment, letting go of the ego's need to control the external world. Identify the core values and priorities that the chaos has brought into sharp relief. Strategic Repositioning: A pause is not inaction; it is re-action. It's the time to plan your next move, not just repeat your last one. #AnxietyRelief #StressReduction #MentalHealthMatters #SelfSoothe #StopTheScroll #Mindfulness #MindfulLiving #InnerPeace #PresentMoment #BeHereNow #DailyCalm NaNoWriMo is No Mo;; While no single entity has officially replaced NaNoWriMo, the closure spurred a surge of new and existing independent writing challenges designed to fill the void and continue the spirit of communal novel writing. Notable alternatives and new competitions that have emerged for November (and often for other months like April) include: Novel November (NovNov) by ProWritingAid: A 50,000-word challenge with workshops, daily co-writing, and a collaborative spirit, supported by various writing companies. Reedsy Novel Sprint: Follows the classic NaNoWriMo timeline and word count target but offers prizes and professional development support. AutoCrit's Novel 90 Writing Challenge: An extended challenge running for 90 days (often Oct 1 - Dec 31) to allow for a more sustainable pace in completing a first draft. The Order of the Written Word (O2W): An alternative founded by a former Municipal Liaison, specifically positioned as a space for authors against the use of AI. Other Platforms: Gamified platforms and tools like 4thewords, Shut Up & Write!, and Pacemaker continue to offer community-driven goal tracking and support. The Parable From Calculus of the Street to Blockchain Building A New World Ledger Verification at a Time. ”In the late hours, when Marcus recited proofs from memory and Sarah spun stories of exile and resilience, I remembered the calculus of the streets—the way information pulsed through networks invisible to those in power. We weren't inventing anything new; we were translating old survival strategies into modern code. We were reclaiming what was always ours: the right to build systems that served those who'd been left out.” Natasha Sanderson, The Collab; The Trickster: A Parable “The hypocrisy was sickening. Christian America, preaching order and self-sufficiency, was wholly dependent on the slave labor of the workhouses. In turn, its own supply lines were so weak they were being raided by common criminals. The system was eating itself alive. Their fixed world was a complete lie. We were witnessing the final, brutal truth of the Pox era: the collapse of centralized power created not just chaos, but a vacuum that anyone—whether a black market trader or a Trickster prophet —could exploit. This chaos, this failure of the old world order, was the fertile ground in which Earthseed was even able to survive. The more the surface world failed, the more vital our subterranean self-sufficiency, our digital Collab, and our hydroponic gardens became. We were a tiny, living island of order in a sea of unraveling lies.” Reality TV...Continue the Cycle of Absudity...Non-Black commentors may want to keep Dr. Wendy Osefo's name out of your mouth...The Belles from Celebration of Life to Glendale Man-trum...Reconciliation through Weed Muffins...

In this episode of The Crazy Wisdom Podcast, Stewart Alsop talks with Jacob Hall and Kyriakos Skiouris, co-founders of Agingo, about the evolution of blockchain from linear ledgers to volumetric, multi-agent architectures. Together they explore how concepts like sovereignty, auditability, and immutability can redefine trust, governance, and digital agency in both human and artificial systems. The conversation touches on blockchain's philosophical and technical frontiers—what an “AGI for blockchain” might mean, why immutability will matter in the age of AI, and how decentralization could restore autonomy without chaos. You can learn more about Agingo and their upcoming talks at agingo.com and reach them via support@agingo.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Jacob Hall and Kyriakos Skiouris of Agingo, setting the stage for a conversation on blockchain as a paradigm shift beyond crypto.05:00 They explore trust, contracts, and the difference between real-world agreements and smart contracts, questioning how sovereignty depends on auditability.10:00 The guests reflect on Bitcoin's origins, Satoshi's intent, and the ideological fractures that shaped crypto's culture and early altruism.15:00 They discuss manipulation, value, and how blockchain technology parallels alchemy—transforming belief into perceived value.20:00 The idea of social imaginaries emerges, using everyday systems like traffic lanes as metaphors for collective trust and order.25:00 The talk moves toward digital etiquette, communication decay, and the cultural lag behind technological acceleration.30:00 Agingo introduces the concept of volumetric blockchain, multi-agent validation, and four-dimensional nanochains replacing linear ledgers.35:00 They unpack volumetric security, the tesseract metaphor, and blockchain as a living system mirroring consciousness.40:00 Discussion turns to blockchain as language and history, linking immutability, perception, and meaning.45:00 Business use cases arise—tokenized films, compliance, and real-world asset representation on decentralized infrastructure.50:00 They imagine blockchain as infrastructure for AGI, distributed systems modeled after nature's intelligence.55:00 Closing reflections on centralization, sovereignty, and the need for open, non-binary conversations about trust and autonomy in the digital age.Key InsightsBlockchain's next evolution is volumetric, not linear. Jacob Hall and Kyriakos Skiouris argue that traditional blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum are “choo-choo trains”—linear systems limited by their own history. Agingo's model introduces volumetric blockchain, where multiple agents and dimensions of time operate simultaneously, allowing for more secure, adaptive, and physics-like computation.Sovereignty depends on auditability at speed. True digital sovereignty, they suggest, isn't just owning your data but being able to verify it instantly. If you can't audit a transaction or vote in real time, you've lost control of it. Fast, transparent auditability becomes the foundation of autonomy and trust in digital systems.Language, contracts, and blockchains are all ledgers of meaning. The conversation reframes contracts as linguistic and symbolic structures—records of shared trust. Blockchain, in this light, is not just code but a living language that keeps history intact and immutable, anchoring truth in a world of mutable data.Bitcoin's promise was idealistic, but its structure is fragile. Hall recalls the early altruism of the Bitcoin community, contrasting it with the dogmatic, profit-driven culture that followed. The failure to evolve past linear design and ideological rigidity mirrors historical schisms in religion and governance.Immutability will become essential in the AI era. As AI systems learn to rewrite their own data, humans will crave immutable records. Blockchain's permanence provides a safeguard against subtle, undetectable shifts in digital reality—an anchor for truth as models become more autonomous.Volumetric systems mirror consciousness. Their design mimics the distributed, multi-agent nature of the human brain. Just as neurons work in parallel, a volumetric blockchain processes data through overlapping agents that validate one another, creating a kind of digital nervous system with emergent intelligence.Decentralization must include cultural and ethical intelligence. True progress, they conclude, isn't just technical—it's cultural. Without new forms of etiquette, communication, and mutual respect, decentralization risks reproducing the same hierarchies it seeks to replace. Blockchain's next leap must integrate human values with technological sovereignty.
