In 2017, Arthur Breitman co-founded Tezos along with his wife Kathleen Breitman. Tezos ran one of the most successful ICOs in history, raising 66,000 Bitcoin and 361,000 Ether, worth $232 million in 2017. In 2022, 5 years later, Tezos is now a thriving blockchain ecosystem with 135 projects being developed. I talked to Arthur about the origin and the history of Tezos, as well as the problems and issues of blockchains: interoperability, security, adoption, and regulation.

The world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is a rapidly evolving sector that has grown tremendously in popularity in recent years. However, the original philosophy of crypto and blockchain has been altered by interests in capital gain and convenience, eroding the founding ethos of the technology. This was not acceptable to today's guests, Arthur and Kathleen Breitman, who decided to build a blockchain technology that ensured the original spirit of the technology was preserved. Arthur and Kathleen are the creators of Tezos, a public blockchain that enables decentralized governance by allowing self-amendments. In today's conversation, we dive into the underlying Tezos protocol and discover the various ways people are applying it. We learn what a rollup is, the different versions of rollups, and what data availability is as a concept. Hear about their approach to scaling, how scaling has changed from a research to an engineering problem, and why the Breitman's believe gaming will catalyze the next wave of users of blockchain technology. “I started my journey by thinking: Bitcoin, it's not an algorithm. It's not a software. It's a network. It's consensus around a ledger.” — @ArthurB Key Points From This Episode: Background about our guests and what got them interested in crypto. The motivation for Arthur and Kathleen to build their own blockchain. How the narrative around cryptocurrencies has evolved and where Tezos fits in. How Arthur and Kathleen formed the idea of on-chain governance as a middle ground. An outline of the upsides and downsides to the on-chain governance approach. The shift in motivation and ethos of the average crypto-user. Past updates and the current state of the network. Whether scaling is achieved by upgrading the core or Layer 2. What data availability is as a concept and why it is essential. A breakdown of a rollup and the various approaches to scaling. What rollup approach the Tezos network uses to scale. The many ways people are using the Tezos network. How Arthur and Kathleen measure the growth and use of the Tezos network. What they think will cause more people to adopt the network in the future. Why venture capitalists have become interested in cryptocurrencies. Comparing the railroads of the 1900s with public blockchains that exist today. Ways in which capitalization of crypto and blockchain technology will be overcome. An outline of the future for Tezos and how the community is involved. Arthur and Kathleen's take on the regulatory environment and how it'll change in the future.

On this week's Searching for Mana Lloyd Wahed CEO of Mana Search met with Arthur and Kathleen Breitman, the co-creators of the Tezos blockchain to discuss the development of the Tezos ecosystem and how it uses creativity, collaboration and a degree of democratisation to evolve this open-source platform.They see themselves very much as match makers and facilitators, bringing together developers with problems who will contribute to the ecosystem and profit from it. There are a couple of hundred developers in the ecosystem all over the world who know that they can make proposals with a high chance of making a difference for the good of all participants. Along the way they can take advantage of low fees and high capacity on the chain and know that the Tezos Proof-of-Stake methodology is eco-friendly compared to Proof-of-Work models.The platform is built on mechanisms that ensure active community governance and participation. There is no CEO or hierarchy and making a proposal that turns into action requires an 80% majority, a level they feel is a clear mandate but with a healthy respect for the minority.This is a platform to facilitate transactions, they are not obsessed by being an alternative to banking, but they are obsessed with solving problems and empowering creators and connecting them up with others who also want to solve a problem. Tezos facilitates the facilitators, providing the infrastructure to help problem solvers be successful. Tezos suits the smart and the curious, those who work off first principles and take nothing for granted, to some degree it's a social technology driving a blockchain.

In this month's Market Outlook event we discussed market trends, as well as the rise of the “Alt Layer 1 trade”. We were also joined by Kathleen Breitman, Co-founder of the decentralized proof of stake blockchain network Tezos, and discussed how her experience in traditional finance shaped her outlook on the future of finance and blockchain technology.

In this week's episode, I'm summarizing the conversation I had with Kathleen Breitman about the insane career journey she's had so far. Although most of that is hopefully not applicable to us, I did find some common themes that would be. Let's dig in: First up, dealing with conflict, stress and bad actors: How to decide when to stay and when to go: Stay for: Exposure to leadership you want to emulate, project ownership that will accelerate your learning, fast growth (early stage company or industry disruptor) Leave if: Culture of disrespect, stagnant industry or culture, ceiling on growth opportunities What voices to listen to and what voices to ignore: Trusted advisors understand: Your values, your long term career strategy, those on the same growth path Ignore those who: Feel threatened by a shift in status quo, don't understand or value your trajectory, aren't investing in your growth How to deal with difficult people or disrespect Teach people how to treat you by: Purposely build up a relationship of trust (time, expertise, consistency), detailed examples of what is not acceptable, speak up in the moment Controlling Imposter Syndrome: Imposter Moment, don't allow this to become a diagnosis of a permanent condition, acknowledge the moment and feeling and move on, refresh your goals, keep a list of accomplishments, ask for regular feedback, get actionable feedback and buy-in on your growth goals I hope you've found this week's episode helpful, let me know how you've applied and implemented these concepts at hello@annhiatt.co - I'd love to know what you've found useful!

In this episode of the Bet On Yourself podcast I'm talking with Kathleen Breitman who is a co-founder of Coase, a software company that aspires to lower transaction costs. She previously co-founded Tezos, a smart contract platform and cryptocurrency with an on-chain governance mechanism to coordinate and push upgrades to its network. She has also worked at Accenture, Bridgewater Associates, and The Wall Street Journal.'' This episode is crazy. It's totally different from all the rest of the episodes we've had so far and I think you're really going to enjoy it. In this chat Kathleen gives us a completely different perspective on all the disasters you would hope to avoid, and how she has handled them, when starting a company. Kathleen studied philosophy and got into the internet by chance. She met her now husband, Arthur, in her sophomore year who had a crypto currency project on the side that he was playing around with at the time. Kathleen describes this becoming an ‘'if you can't beat them join them'' moment, which is where her Crypto career started. In this interview Kathleen talks about levelling up and becoming an expert in a field you know nothing about - which is something I definitely relate to from my own career. She also touches on: -How working with her spouse as a co-founder accelerated their learning and growth by years. -The problems that arose after their funding rounds -Dealing with difficult board members -Trusting your instincts As well as going to your mentors for advice when you need them and knowing which voices to listen to and which to ignore. I really loved her honesty. I think she offers an interesting perspective and gives insight into the crypto world which I personally still find pretty confusing! Also, just a quick FYI that we've chosen not to beep a few instances of colorful language in this episode to keep the original tone with which Kathleen shared her journey. Buckle up! This one is fun! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ann-hiatt/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ann-hiatt/support

QuadrigaCX Bankruptcy and FalloutQuadrigaCX, you know the story: CEO found missing, $190 million of customer's funds missing, mismanagement, conspiracy. It's been a little over a year since former CEO Gerald Cotten's death was reported, setting off a whirlwind investigation, and this panel will give you insight into where the case stands today. And if you're a frustrated creditor, just allow you to vent and be heard.Tong Zou (Speaker) - QuadrigaCX Affected User, a software engineer, used to be based in San Francisco, now based in Vancouver.Evan Thomas (Speaker) - Evan is a Canadian litigator focusing on cases involving technology, privacy and data.

Prior to joining the private sector, Magdalena managed multiple $million to $billion public sector initiatives that helped businesses start up, compete globally, and adopt technology.JPMorgan Extends Banking Services to Bitcoin Exchanges - JPMorgan is said to be now serving crypto exchanges. Coinbase and Gemini are reportedly the bank's first clients. This is the first time JPMorgan has taken clients from the crypto space. Coinbase and Gemini's accounts were approved last month, and transactions are now starting to be processed, per the report. JPMorgan is reportedly providing cash-management services to the crypto exchanges and handling dollar-based transactions for their U.S.-based customers. It will process wire transfers, and deposits and withdrawals through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. "It's quite significant news in my opinion," a banker told The Block. "There is little business in fees associated with processing wire and ACH payments, I would expect that there are other associated benefits to JPM from any associated banking services, additional collaboration with both of those firms, potential for winning any future IPO or another angle such as JPM coin being offered on either of those platforms." The banker added that the whole of Wall Street will notice this news, and it may lead to further doors being opened for crypto firms at other banks. "In the same way, the Paul Tudor Jones news gives macro hedge funds a justification to look at bitcoin, the largest bank offering crypto exchange services means a lot of credibility for the space."TON is officially dead. - Telegram founder Pavel Durov wrote in his public channel Tuesday that the Telegram Open Network (TON) project would be discontinued due to the company's ongoing legal fight with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). "Today is a sad day for us here at Telegram. We are announcing the discontinuation of our blockchain project. Below is a summary of what it was and why we had to abandon it," he wrote. An accompanying blog post said the SEC's winning of a preliminary injunction in a U.S. court led to the decision because it barred Telegram from launching TON or distributing its gram tokens. The move is an abrupt shift for Telegram, which said less than two weeks ago it would be launching the network in April 2021. Telegram announced at the end of April its investors could receive 72% of their funds back immediately, or 110% back in a year, once TON had launched. U.S. investors would not be able to take the latter option, Telegram said in a later update. In Tuesday's post, Durov did not say whether all investors would be immediately refunded or how much they'd receive. "Sadly, the U.S. judge is right about one thing: We, the people outside the U.S., can vote for our presidents and elect our parliaments, but we are still dependent on the United States when it comes to finance and technology (luckily not coffee)," he wrote. The dollar and its influence on the global financial system give the U.S. immense power, Durov said, adding that the country can also influence Apple and Google to remove apps from their respective app stores. "So yes, it is true that other countries do not have full sovereignty over what to allow on their territory," he wrote. Durov closed his post with an appeal to decentralization. "I want to conclude this post by wishing luck to all those striving for decentralization, balance and equality in the world. You are fighting the right battle," he wrote. "This battle may well be the most important battle of our generation. We hope that you succeed where we have failed."References: CoinDesk The Block

The Tezos whitepaper, published in 2014, anticipated several areas that would become major issues for blockchain networks. Especially around governance and smart contract security, Tezos proposed original solutions. The project later went on to raise $232m in the biggest token sale at the time.

Kathleen Breitman, CEO of Dynamic Ledger Solutions, the company behind the Tezos protocol, and Ryan Jesperson, president of the foundation, discuss the Tezos initial coin offering, which was the largest ICO at the time of sale. Kathleen explains why she wouldn't do anything differently, except for the choice of foundation head, Johann Gevers, with whom Kathleen and her co-creator and husband, Arthur Breitman, ended up in multiple disputes. She muses as to why many people initially praised Gevers and then later revealed that he was not liked or that he'd defrauded them when they'd worked for him. Ryan and Kathleen also explain how they will attempt to help Tezos compete in the competitive smart contract platform space, despite the fact that Tezos is built in less well-known computer languages, and they explain why they've chosen delegated proof of stake as their consensus protocol, despite the criticism that it could create a plutocracy.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tezos are all decentralized ledgers powered by a blockchain. Bitcoin was the first public blockchain and introduced the first truly decentralized form of electronic cash. Ethereum followed suit by including smart-contracts in its platform, allowing a greater range of application to be developed. Tezos takes this concept one step further by letting participants directly control the rules of the network. It is designed to evolve, so that the next generation of ideas doesn’t have to start over as a new blockchain.

In this episode Kathleen reveals how flaws in bitcoin's design inspired Tezos to bake governance mechanisms into the blockchain itself. She discusses the rationale around doing an uncapped crowdsale, why they chose to set up a non-profit in Switzerland to receive the funds, and how they have responded to DDOS and phishing attacks. Kathleen also discusses her identification as an anarchist-capitalist and its roots in cypherpunk, her love of Milton Friedman, her favorite bad TV, and what it's like being a husband wife founding team.
