Podcast appearances and mentions of Jack Dorsey

This week, Ryan and David celebrate Bitcoin's new all-time highs as Ethereum sentiment explodes. ETH treasury firms are racing to stockpile billions, Fidelity is framing ETH as a store-of-value, and mainstream media is finally paying attention. So why isn't the price moving faster? They unpack the $8.6 billion Bitcoin whale awakening, Pump's $4 billion ICO, and crypto's "what color is the dress" moment with Zelensky's suit. Plus, Hyperliquid beats Solana at its own game, Robinhood pushes tokenized stocks, and prediction markets face a credibility crisis. Also, is ETH gearing up for a vertical breakout or just stuck in a bullish echo chamber? ------

The social media heavyweight is also under fire for alleged bias, censorship, and the roving army of bot accounts wreaking havoc on the site. In this moment of crisis, the only would-be savior to step up is also one of Twitter's harshest critics: Elon Musk.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

In this thought-provoking Market Mondays clip, the hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive into the intersection of war, technology, and market resilience. They start by breaking down the “war index” — highlighting major players like Palantir, Anderil, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta — and reveal how data and algorithms are the new battlegrounds alongside traditional military might. Discover why having user data on 3.4 billion people gives Meta unprecendented influence, and how information (and propaganda) shape global conflict just as much as firepower.The conversation pivots to current geopolitical flashpoints, including Yemen's bold entry into the fray, the critical importance of waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, and the complex dance between America, Israel, Iran, China, and Russia. Does long-term regime change trigger more instability? Rashad explores lessons from history, the risks of forced changes, and what global players want for Iran's future.But it's not all global tension! The clip also covers how the markets respond to conflict, why “the market is literally rigged to stay up,” and tactical investment tips on stocks like Palantir and Meta, especially as they break new all-time highs.Crypto fans, this one's for you too—debate heats up over Bitcoin, Jack Dorsey versus Michael Saylor, and the ever-polarizing XRP. Rashad opens up about his fraught relationship with the XRP crowd and pushes Ian and Troy to weigh in: will XRP ever hit $10,000, or will institutional power always win out?Plus, hear exclusive details about Invest Fest, including a raffle for an all-expenses-paid trip to Ghana and special appearances from the likes of Jack Dorsey and past panelists like Cathie Wood.

De ogen van de wereldwijde cryptosector waren vorige week even gericht op Las Vegas. Daar vond de belangrijkste Bitcoinconferentie van het jaar plaats, met een opvallende mix van bekende namen uit de industrie, internationale beleidsmakers en vertegenwoordigers van overheden. Zelfs de Amerikaanse vicepremier JD Vance nam het woord op het podium. Zijn aanwezigheid maakte veel los, zowel binnen als buiten de sector. Wetgeving en de rol van de Amerikaanse overheid waren sowieso grote thema’s in Las Vegas. Het sentiment was overwegend optimistisch, mede dankzij de aanwezigheid van meerdere regeringsvertegenwoordigers. Daarnaast presenteerde Jack Dorsey’s bedrijf Square een nieuwe stap: lightningbetalingen worden geïntegreerd in hun betaalterminals. Deze functionaliteit werd ter plekke getest en blijkt snel en praktisch te werken. Naast het podiumprogramma bracht de conferentie ook een stroom aan nieuws. Zo kondigde een afgevaardigde van de Pakistaanse regering aan dat het land een eigen Bitcoinreserve wil opbouwen, naar voorbeeld van de Verenigde Staten. Het doel is om via een strategische voorraad digitale valuta economische stabiliteit te bevorderen. Ook Trump Media, het bedrijf achter Truth Social, voegde Bitcoin toe aan de reserves. Daarmee onderstreept het opnieuw het pro-crypto-standpunt van de president. Tot slot kijken we naar de markt. De koers van Bitcoin bleef deze week opvallend vlak. Volgens portfoliomanager Tim Stolte van Amdax wijst dit op een afwachtende houding onder beleggers, mogelijk in aanloop naar grotere economische of politieke ontwikkelingen. Ook bij Ethereum is weinig beweging te zien, maar het op één na grootste cryptoproject doet het de laatste tijd wél stukken beter dan andere altcoins. En dat is dan weer positief te noemen, want verloor Ethereum ten opzichte van zijn concurrentie. Co-host is Bart Mol.

Most of us have our smartphones on our person more or less all day, every day. Our photos, payment methods and a lot of personal data are stored on them. So we're all wary of the risk of having them stolen when out in public. But did you know there's another way someone can take control of your phone line without you even losing the device? It's called sim swapping and while it's not new, it's been on the rise in recent years. According to the FBI, Americans lost a combined $68M to sim swapping scams in 2021. One of the most high-profile examples saw Twitter founder Jack Dorsey fall prey to it in 2019. How does SIM swapping work? How can I avoid falling victim to SIM swapping? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

As a CFO, how should the way you navigate risk and return change from venture-backed companies to publicly-traded companies to private equity companies? To answer this question, CJ speaks with Mohit Daswani, a seasoned CFO with experience across multiple stages, including roles as CFO of Payments, Platform, and Risk at PayPal, and Head of Finance & Strategy at Square. Mohit shares the lessons learned from his time at Square, including when Jack Dorsey seeded a second billion-dollar business from within the company, and his experience at PayPal when they spun out from eBay under activist pressure. The conversation also covers the Rule of 40 in the different financial models, the dangers of using valuation as a scorecard, how founders should reset their mindset on what defines success, and the likelihood of a super app for the USA.—LINKS:Mohit Daswani on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohitdaswani1/SimplePractice: https://www.simplepractice.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: http://mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:From CF-No to CF-Go: Serial CFO Michael Bayer's Guide to Hypergrowth: Inside Grab: How a Super App Transformed Southeast Asia — with CFO Peter Oey: —Timestamps:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:42) Sponsor – Planful | Tabs | Rippling Spend(06:36) Mohit's Office and a Tip From Churchill(09:07) Risk and Return in Different Investment Models(13:05) Financial Discipline Versus Room for Growth in Venture-Backed Companies(16:30) Sponsor – Pulley | Tropic | NetSuite(20:25) Balancing Short-Term Performance and Long-Term Bets in the PE Space(24:00) The Rule of 40 in Different Financial Models(30:19) What People Get Wrong About the Private Equity Model(34:40) The Benefits of Using Leverage(37:41) The Dangers of Using Valuation as a Scorecard(41:41) How Founders Should Reset Their Mindset on What Constitutes Success(44:00) Being at Square When Jack Dorsey Seeded a Second Billion-Dollar Business(49:43) Being at PayPal When They Spun Out From eBay(53:59) PayPal's Acquisition of Braintree(55:48) The Probability of a Super App for the USA(58:38) Learnings From Launching PayPal's Payments Dongle in Japan(1:04:12) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A Flight Mistake(1:06:20) Advice to Younger Self(1:07:31) Finance Software Stack(1:09:28) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Planful's financial planning software can transform your FP&A function.

How can you preserve simplicity and work at a reasonable pace in an increasingly complex and rushed environment? That's the question I'm answering today.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Two of the challenges we face today are the increasing complexity in our work life. Yet, that has been around forever. New technology requires us to learn new techniques for doing things and, perhaps, the biggest challenge of all is dealing with the speed at which things come at us.  Interestingly, the number of emails we get today is comparable to the number of letters people in the 1970s and 80s received. Yet the number of phone calls we get have dramatically dropped. That's largely due to the move towards instant messages—which were not around in the 70s and 80s.  The difference is the speed at which we are expected to respond. With a letter, there was some doubt about when the letter would arrive. It might arrive the next day, but there was always a chance it would take two or three days.  And when it did arrive, we had at least twenty four hours to respond. Today, there are some people who expect you to respond to an email immediately—no thought that you may be working on something else or in a meeting with an important customer.  So the question we should explore is how we can navigate the way we work today without letting people down, but at the same time work at a comfortable speed which minimises mistakes and leaves us feeling fulfilled at the end of the day.  So, with that stated, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Tom. Tom asks, Hi Carl, over the years, my productivity system has changed with technology. I began, like you, with a Franklin Planner in the 1990s, then I moved to Getting Things Done and managed everything digitally. These days, I am struggling to keep up, and it just seems so complicated. Do you have any thoughts on how to keep things simple? Hi Tom, thank you for your question.  One way to look at this is to remember that the basic principles of good time management and productivity will never change. Those principles are incorporated in COD—Collect, Organise and Do.  No matter how complicated or fast things get, we still need a way to collect stuff and trust that what we collect will be where we want it to be when we process it.  We need an organisation system that works for us. And that means, we can find what we need when we need it.  And finally, we want to be maximising the time we spend doing the work, so we avoid backlogs building.  It's within this framework we can evolve our systems.  Thirty years ago, we would have been collecting with pen and paper. Today, it's likely we will collect using our phones or computer. Thirty years ago we would have had stacks of file folders and a filing cabinet or two to store those folders. Today, those files will likely be held in the cloud—Google Drive, iCloud or OneDrive, for instance.  So while the tools have changed, the principles have not.  I'm a big rugby fan. I've been following Leeds Rhinos since my grandfather took me to my first game when I was five years old.  The teams that win the championships and cup games are the ones who get the basics right. In rugby, that is playing the majority of the game in the oppositions half. Being aggressive in defence and ensuring their players are disciplined—giving away silly penalties is one sure way to lose games.  The teams that lose are the ones who don't get these basics right. They try to be clever, get frustrated, and drop the ball (quite literally) and give away unnecessary penalties, which results in them giving away territory and playing the majority of the game in their own half.  The message is always the same. Get the basics right and the results will come.  This is the same for you, too, Tom. Get the basics right and that's following the principles of COD.  The problems will start when we begin trying to do multiple things at the same time. Multi-tasking is not a strategy. Sure there are some things you can do at the same time. Walking and thinking about solving a problem, listening to a podcast while doing the dishes or cleaning up the house.  But you are not going to be able to write a report, prepare a presentation and reply to your emails at the same time. These are very different types of work requiring different skills.  A report is well thought out words and conclusions. A presentation is a visual representation of your main points and writing emails is about communicating clearly in words. All requiring different parts of your brain.  This is why categorising the work you do works so well. With categorising, or chunking or batch processing—they all mean the same thing—you are grouping similar tasks together and doing them at the same time. For example, you can collect your actionable emails together and set aside thirty to sixty minutes each day for responding to them.  If you were consistent with that, you would always be on top of your mails and no one would be waiting much longer that 24 hours for a reply.  Similarly if you were responsible for sending out proposals to prospective customers, if you were to spend an hour or so on those each day, you would rarely have any backlogs and your proposals would be going out quickly without errors.  It's when we stop following these principles we become like the losing rugby teams. We've stopped following the game plan and become frustrated, which leads to mistakes which in turn means we lose the game.  Or in the world of work, we create backlogs, deadlines are missed and we feel horrible, stressed out and overwhelmed.  I've always found it fascinating to learn how productive people work. I saw recently an interview with Tim Cook, where he mentioned he wakes up at 4:00 am, and the first hour of his day is spent doing email.  I remember reading that Jack Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter and the CEO of Square, who would schedule his days by category of work. Monday and Tuesdays were spend on marketing, Wednesdays were problem solving and Thursdays would be spent at Square and Fridays at Twitter.  They all have some structure to their days. Incidentally, this was the same for Winston Churchill and Charles Darwin. They both followed a strict structure to their days which ensured they spent time each day on the things that mattered.  While the way we work and the tools we use to do our work may change, the way we structure our days doesn't have to.  Twenty years ago, spending an hour on returning phone messages was the norm. Today, that same hour will likely be spent responding to Slack or Teams messages and email.  If you want to get control of your time and remain productive, it will be helpful to know what is important.  What is your core work? The work you are paid to do? What does that look like at a task level? Working in concepts doesn't work here. You need to go to the next level and determine what your work looks like at a task level.  An accountant will need to put numbers into a spreadsheet (or something similar) in order to get the information they need to be able to advise their clients. The question therefore becomes how much time do they need to do that each day to ensure they are on top of their work?  As a former Franklin Planner user, you will know the importance of daily and weekly planning. This is about knowing what is important today and this week. It's about allocating sufficient time to getting that work done and being strict about what you allow on your calendar.  Perhaps part of the problem we face today is the increasing demands on our time. It's easy to ask someone to jump on a Teams or Zoom call for “a few minutes” Ha! How often does five minutes turn into thirty minutes?  And because of the simplicity of doing these calls, we accept. Perhaps too readily.  I don't have Zoom or Teams on my phone. If I am not with my laptop, I cannot do a video call. It's a rule. And a non-negotiable one too.  Where are your rules? What will you accept and, more importantly, not accept?  One way you can manage this is to limit the number of meetings you have each day. If you spend seven hours of your eight hours of your work day in meetings, how will you find the time to do the work you are employed to do?  That isn't a task management issue. That's a time issue. It doesn't matter how many tasks you have to do today if you do not have the time protected for doing them. It's on you to protect that time and that doesn't matter where you are in the hierarchy chain.  If your boss expects you to be in seven hours of meetings each day and write reports, prepare presentations and respond to your emails and messages, that's an issue you need to take up with your boss. No tool or productivity system will sort that out for you.  Even with the help of AI, you will struggle to do your work with that kind of time conflict.  Now when it comes to managing your files and notes, I would say don't reinvent the wheel.  Several years ago, Microsoft and Apple's engineers released we were terrible at managing our documents. So, they began rolling out self contained folders for their professional tools such as Word and Keynote.  You no longer need to file these documents in folders you create. Instead you can save them and let your computer organise them for you. For example, if you use Word, all your word documents can be saved to the Word container folder in OneNote. Just like Google Docs. These are all kept together and you can then organise them in a variety of ways. You can do it alphabetically, the date the document was created or when it was last modified (great for when collaborating with other people). In iCloud and Google Drive, you can also organise by which documents are shared.  Your computer does the hard work so you don't have to. There's certainly no longer a need to create sophisticated file folder structures that take forever to keep organised. You don't have time for that. Let your computer do the work for you.  And not only have these companies made organising our work easier, they have been gradually improving search features too. Now as long as you know a date range, a keyword or a title, you'll be able to find any document in seconds.  There is no longer any need to manually organise your documents. The only responsibility you have is to ensure the names of the documents you have saved mean something to you. If you're downloading a document, make sure you rename it. There's some very strange file naming conventions out there.  And that's about it, Tom.  Stick to the basics of COD—Collect, Organise, Do. Be strict about what you allow on your calendar (even if that means you need to an uncomfortable talk with your boss) and let your computer do the hard work of filing for you.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question.  And thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to with you all a very very productive week.

Local law enforcement claim the outlet abused a COVID-era loan scheme and arrested one of its directors for alleged fraud. Still, the closure fits a well-worn pattern: using financial and legal repression to silence independent media in Hong Kong. Pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily faced a nearly identical fate in 2021 when its assets were seized and its founder, Jimmy Lai, was imprisoned under Hong Kong's new national security law.

Show Notes: Are Google and Meta Screwed?And does it make any Sense?April 18, 2025OverviewThis week's newsletter delves into a pivotal moment for two of tech's biggest players: Meta and Google. Long dominant through strategic acquisitions and platform control, both are now under intense legal scrutiny. At the same time, a new platform shift—centered on AI—threatens to upend their business models, just as geopolitical forces reshape global markets.Listeners will gain insight into how antitrust battles, legacy acquisitions, AI innovation, and trade wars intersect to challenge the future of these giants. We'll connect disparate articles to reveal patterns that go beyond individual stories.Key TrendsKey Trend 1: Government Antitrust Pressure and Legal BattlesSignificance: After decades of unchecked growth, Meta and Google face unprecedented antitrust scrutiny. The outcomes could reset the rules for digital markets—and determine whether breakups or massive fines become the norm.Talking Point 1: Meta's High-Stakes Trial“In a just world, the FTC has no shot to win this case. The case is so nebulous and weak…”– M.G. Siegler, “The Meta Points of Meta's Trial” (https://spyglass.org/meta-trial/)• Highlights the FTC's challenge: litigating past acquisitions with vague theories of harm.Talking Point 2: Google Guilty in Ad Tech Monopoly“A judge ruled that Google holds a monopolistic position in the technology of online advertising, unfairly harming rivals and advertisers.”– David McCabe, New York Times(https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/technology/google-ad-tech-antitrust-ruling.html)• Marks the second major U.S. court loss for Google in under a year, setting the stage for structural remedies.Key Trend 2: Strategic Platform Shifts and Legacy AcquisitionsSignificance: Meta's survival has hinged on buying Instagram and WhatsApp; now those very deals are under fire. The pattern echoes past shifts—desktop to mobile—and underscores how acquisitions can both secure and imperil platform relevance.Talking Point 1: The Value and Vulnerability of Instagram“Without Instagram, Meta is screwed.”– M.G. Siegler, Spyglass (https://spyglass.org/without-instagram-meta-is-screwed/)• Shows Instagram's ad revenue underpins Meta's funding for new bets (metaverse, AI).Talking Point 2: Echoes of the Mobile Battle“Facebook 2.0 will try to kill Facebook 1.0 and Google 2.0 will try to kill Google 1.0.”– Editorial, “Are Google and Meta Screwed?” (Newsletter for April 11, 2025)• Reminds us how prior platform shifts demanded reinvention—AI may require the same.Key Trend 3: AI‑Driven Disruption and the Next PlatformsSignificance: Just as mobile upended desktop, AI is redrawing the map of search, discovery, and social engagement. Meta and Google must adapt to challengers like OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and novel features such as memory and reasoning.Talking Point 1: AI Search and Discovery Race“OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Grok capture users for AI based search and discovery.”– Editorial, “Are Google and Meta Screwed?”• Signals user migration away from traditional search and feeds.Talking Point 2: The AI Price War and Memory Features“OpenAI slashes prices for GPT‑4.1 by up to 75%, igniting an AI price war among tech giants.”– Bryson Masse, VentureBeat (https://venturebeat.com/ai/gpt-4-1-ai-price-war-developers/)“Claude's memory feature … allows the chatbot to recall details from previous interactions.”– Michael Nuñez, VentureBeat(https://venturebeat.com/ai/claude-just-gained-superpowers-anthropics-ai-can-now-search-your-entire-google-workspace-without-you/)• Underscores how product feature arms races could outflank legacy ad models.Key Trend 4: Global Economic Realignments and Trade WarsSignificance: Tech doesn't operate in a vacuum. Tariffs and nationalism are reshaping supply chains and consumer behavior, with knock‑on effects for digital giants reliant on ad dollars and global audiences.Talking Point 1: Tariffs as a “Tectonic Plate Shift”“Trump's tariffs are part of a broader movement in the global economy which he describes as a ‘tectonic plate shift.'”– Peter R. Orszag, New York Times video (https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010103488/trumps-tariffs-are-part-of-a-tectonic-plate-shift-in-the-global-economy.html)• Reflects how trade policy uncertainty seeps into tech investment and consumer prices.Talking Point 2: The End of Globalism vs Economic Globalization“Globalisation as we've known it for the past couple of decades has come to an end.”– Frank Furedi, Spiked (https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/04/15/the-end-of-globalism-is-nigh/)• Positions economic nationalism alongside persistent interdependence—tech firms must navigate both.Discussion QuestionsHow do the FTC's and DOJ's strategies against Meta and Google reflect a shift in government confidence and capability to regulate tech giants?Would breaking up Instagram and WhatsApp—or forcing Google to divest its ad tech—spur innovation or simply weaken platforms in an era of AI competition?In what ways has the shift from mobile to AI mirrored past platform transitions, and what lessons should Meta and Google apply as they pursue “2.0” strategies?Is the AI price war (GPT‑4.1 cuts, Claude memory, Grok features) a sustainable model for developers and businesses, or will it erode margins across the ecosystem?Do Trump's tariffs and rising economic nationalism ultimately strengthen China's tech incumbents (Huawei, Temu, Shein) more than they pressure U.S. companies? (Controversial)With visionaries like Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk calling to “delete all IP law,” how should tech firms balance creator rights against AI training needs? (Controversial) 7. How does the narrative of “the end of globalism” influence Big Tech's investment in international expansion and localized product strategies?Closing IdeasMeta and Google stand at a crossroads: legal rulings threaten their core business structures while AI challengers redefine user engagement.Their historic playbook—acquiring emerging rivals and evolving ad models—now collides with fast‑moving technology, activist regulators, and geopolitical headwinds.Final Thought: Survival for these giants will depend on agility—embracing AI as the next platform, rethinking past acquisitions, and navigating a world where borders, both digital and national, are being redrawn.Generated on 4/18/2025 with Newsletter Creator This is a public episode.

Welcome back to Tank Talks! In this episode, host Matt Cohen is joined by John Ruffolo for another high-voltage rundown of the most urgent headlines at the intersection of business, politics, and innovation. As Canada stares down the barrel of a snap federal election and the U.S. economy teeters on a razor's edge, this episode is all about decoding the chaos.* Can Canada avoid a recession as political gridlock looms?* Will U.S. economic volatility derail global investment?* What happens when tech titans like Musk and Dorsey call for the end of intellectual property law?From capital gains clashes and cross-border tax traps to TikTok-fueled counterfeits and China's IP free-for-all, this conversation goes deep into the geopolitical and economic fault lines shaping our future.Election Whiplash: Personality Over Policy (00:01:00)With Canada's snap election just days away, John and Matt unpack the shift from hard policy debate to emotional brand politics. Despite mounting economic concerns like productivity slumps, unaffordable housing, and rising interest rates, voters seem more fixated on the personalities of frontrunners Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre.John's take: We may be headed toward a minority government, but the real issue is voter apathy. If younger voters don't turn up, expect unpredictable outcomes. Meanwhile, the debates are muddying policy distinctions, making this more of a popularity contest than a strategic vote.Tax Turbulence: Capital Gains and Cross-Border Chaos (00:04:00)Capital gains are back in the spotlight on both sides of the border. In Canada, competing parties offer conflicting visions on taxation. But south of the border, new U.S. proposals could triple taxes on Canadian investors holding U.S. assets.John's take: Canada's assumption that U.S. Democrats would win and raise capital gains taxes might backfire. If Republicans take over and slash taxes instead, Canada's competitiveness could tank. The stakes? Talent flight, diminished foreign investment, and a harsh wake-up call for young Canadians evaluating life abroad.Trump, Tariffs, and the Trade War Ripple Effect (00:07:31)Trump's tariff spree continues to rattle markets. Mixed signals and shifting policies have left Canada and much of the world scrambling for economic footing.John's take: Canada has been over-indexing on Trump rather than addressing its domestic weaknesses. Blaming external forces won't fix structural problems like low productivity and weak innovation infrastructure.Recession Realities: Brace for Impact (00:11:50)With interest rates climbing and the bond market flashing red, John paints a sobering picture: a Canadian recession is not just likely, it's imminent. But not all is doom and gloom.John's take: Recessions are where great companies are made. The key is balance sheet strength and a strategy to gain market share, even at the cost of short-term profits. It's survival of the most prepared.Fear vs. Opportunity: Investing Amid Uncertainty (00:13:00)Despite market jitters, John's firm is busier than ever. He sees opportunity in volatility, just not for the faint of heart.John's take: Most people freeze in a downturn. That's a mistake. Investors and founders need to think like race car drivers, slow down strategically, but stay ready to accelerate when the track clears.The IP Debate Goes Nuclear: Musk & Dorsey Speak Out (00:17:00)In a viral exchange, Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk call for the abolishing of intellectual property laws. They argue IP stifles creativity and prioritizes lawsuits over innovation.John's take: While the system needs reform, scrapping IP entirely is extreme. Protection encourages R&D, especially for startups. The real threat? Patent trolls and uneven enforcement that favors deep-pocketed players.The Counterfeit Tsunami and China's Rule-of-Law Rebellion (00:20:50)From luxury bags to Tesla knockoffs, China's casual relationship with IP law is costing Western economies over $600 billion annually. And the stakes are rising.John's take: The U.S. once stood as a beacon for rule-based trade. Now, it's playing the same unpredictable game as China. Without global cooperation, the IP battlefield could become a free-for-all, and that's dangerous for everyone, especially startups.As elections, tariffs, and tech wars reshape the global economy, this episode is your essential guide to what's coming and how to prepare. Whether you're a founder, policymaker, or investor trying to read the tea leaves, John and Matt deliver the no-nonsense insight you won't find anywhere else.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

Episode 562: Neal and Toby talk about the latest chapter in the US-China trade war, with China holding out on two things: rare earth minerals and Boeing deliveries.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 459. In response to lots of froth on Twitter related to Jack Dorsey's call to "delete all IP law," which was echoed by Elon Musk (Musk and Dorsey: “delete all IP law”) I decided to attempt to host an impromptu Twitter Spaces about this. After overcoming some technical glitches, here is the result (and thanks to @Brunopbch, @NotGovernor (Patrick Smith), and @TrueAmPatriot86 for assists). I proposed to the space: "Fielding Questions About Abolishing Intellectual Property, about IP, and About Libertarian Property Rights", and that's basically what we ended up talking about. The Twitter spaces can be viewed here; I have clipped off the first 8 minutes or so of setup talk for this podcast episode. Grok summaries and shownotes and Youtube Transcript below. https://t.co/IHeVhPhlbs I'm going to do an impromptu Twitter space in an hour (2pm CST) to field any questions about the Libertarian Case Against Intellectual Property, in view of recent Twitter debates inspired by @jack Dorsey's and @elonmusk 's anti-IP comments,… — Stephan Kinsella (@NSKinsella) April 14, 2025 https://youtu.be/01FdFoB9QHY GROK HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY: Below is a concise summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY), divided into six parts, based on the provided transcript and informed by the linked post (https://c4sif.org/2025/04/musk-dorsey-delete-all-ip-law/). The video features Stephan Kinsella discussing the case for abolishing IP laws in a Twitter Spaces session. Summary in Six Parts 1. Introduction and Context (0:01–1:03) Kinsella opens the session, discussing technical setup and his recent online IP debates, sparked by figures like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, who advocate abolishing IP laws. 2. Addressing IP Objections (1:09–5:16) Kinsella invites questions and tackles a common concern: IP protects small creators from big corporations. He argues this is misguided, noting Musk and Dorsey's history of non-aggressive patent use (e.g., Tesla, Twitter), and challenges the assumption that creators deserve government-enforced rights. 3. Misconceptions and Debate Challenges (5:23–12:28) He debunks myths equating copying to theft or plagiarism, criticizing IP as anti-competitive. Kinsella laments Twitter's combative nature, where users avoid substantive dialogue, and shares his desire for recorded discussions to foster learning, citing past successes. 4. China and IP's Economic Impact (12:34–15:22) Responding to a question, Kinsella argues China's growth shows benefits of lax IP, as adopting Western technology isn't theft but learning. He critiques U.S. politicians for using “IP theft” to justify tariffs and impose Western IP laws globally. 5. IP vs. Property Rights and Innovation (15:48–38:02) Kinsella disputes claims that IP is a natural right, explaining ownership comes from first use or contract, not creation. Using Bitcoin as an example, he emphasizes secrecy over legal enforcement. He argues IP reduces innovation by granting monopolies, slowing progress for patent holders and competitors alike. 6. Corporate Power and IP's Decline (38:09–1:15:40) He asserts IP fuels corporate giants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, Microsoft), not small creators, inflating prices and harming consumers. Kinsella notes copyright's decline due to piracy and predicts technology (e.g., 3D printing) may render patents obsolete. He concludes that abolishing IP requires embracing uncertainty for justice, despite public fear of change. This summary condenses the video's key points into six sections, aligning with the principled and pragmatic arguments Kinsella makes, while reflecting Musk and Dorsey's anti-IP stance from the linked post. Let me know if you need further refinement! GROK DETAILED SUMMARY: Below is a summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY),

Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block and former CEO of Twitter (Now X), has cautioned that Bitcoin may risk losing relevance if it remains solely a store of value. Speaking during an interview at Presidio Bitcoin, Dorsey emphasized the necessity for Bitcoin to evolve beyond mere “hodling” to ensure its long-term viability, highlighting the importance of enhancing Bitcoin's utility.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!Guest: Paul Sztorc, Founder and CEO · LayerTwo LabsLayerTwo Labs website  ➜ https://layertwolabs.com/00:00 Intro00:17 Sponsor: Tangem01:00 Jack Dorsey on Bitcoin risking irrelevancy02:40 Pauls paper05:45 How long does a Bitcoin transaction currently take?07:03 Bitcoin ETFs09:05 Payments11:20 Tokenized commodities (gold)12:42 What's holding Bitcoin back?14:41 After every BTC is mined?17:40 Nostr vs Bluesky: Can bitcoin handle social media?18:45 Outro#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Crypto~Bitcoin Innovation Dead?

On the SUPERWOMEN podcast, I'm sitting down with Laurie Segall, the founder of Mostly Human Media and a former senior technology correspondent and editor-at-large at CNN. Throughout her award-winning career, Laurie has investigated the dangers of technology, and has interviewed some of the most powerful figures in Silicon Valley, like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey. Laurie had always dreamt of being a journalist and started at the bottom of the newsroom as a CNN intern. Fast-forward several years, and she was leading the organization's tech coverage at one of the most pivotal moments in modern history—the rise of social media. Her groundbreaking reporting has shed light on some of the most terrifying consequences of the digital era, including unregulated A.I. chatbots, tech addiction, revenge pornography, and more. After she spent nearly a decade at CNN, at the top of her game, she left it all behind in 2019 to start her own media company, where her work has continued her push for a safer future. She has also written a memoir, “Special Characters: My Adventures with Tech's Titans and Misfits,” an unflinching look at how she built her career alongside the tech startup nerds turned giants, who have shaped the world as we know it today.In this episode, Laurie shares her best advice for women who feel intimidated by the challenges of starting a business, the YouTube video that inspired her to quit her dream job, and how she plans to take on her latest target: MrDeepFakes.Thank you for listening!

Host Ron Steslow welcomes Mike Brock, CEO of TBD, a subsidiary of Block Inc. (formerly Square), the financial technology firm led by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. The Internet is dominated by massive, corporate walled gardens like Google, Facebook, and Twitter (now X), where centralized control makes their users (us!) vulnerable to censorship and manipulation. In this episode, we explore how the movement to decentralize technology empowers individuals, protects against corporate and government abuse, and addresses real problems in finance and social media. We'll also discuss how decentralized technology can enhance financial access and freedom, bypassing intermediaries and censorship, and shifting power from financial corporations to individuals. Finally, we turn to the political landscape, focusing on the Democratic party's approach to decentralized technology and early signs it may be changing.
