gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Catherine Gu are back this week, talking about the future of bitcoin. We'll dive into what people in the space are building and ultimately, how do we create more utility around BTC, arguably the most important asset in crypto. Bitcoin is one of the most important and secure blockchains and assets, but the challenge with transacting BTC has always been its scalability, high cost and slow speed when transacting. Lightning Network is a layer-2 built on top of Bitcoin that enables users to send BTC quickly and cheaply by moving transactions off of the main blockchain. We'll discuss some exciting news surrounding Lightning Network and the main use cases we've seen, many of which are efforts to bring BTC to the mainstream as an asset you can transact with.

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and brand new co-host Catherine Gu are here this week, talking all things crypto UX. Since crypto is still very much in the growth and build stage, a lot of time, effort, and money is spent on technical research, cryptography, software engineering, and getting the structural parts figured out. But going forward, user experience will need to be prioritized and researched in order for it to be more accessible and usable to encourage mass adoption of blockchain and crypto. What are the pain points? What are the challenges and what can be made better for thenext generation of crypto users?

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Cuy Sheffield are back this week, this time talking all things USDC settlement, CBDCs and the difference between CBDCs and stablecoins. Following our discussion around the development of stablecoin in our last episode, we thought it would be fitting to dive deeper into another type of digital currency that is closely related to fiat, CBDC, or Central Bank Digital Currency. Banks are looking to CBDCs as a form of currency that expedites transactions and increases the security of payments between banks, institutions, and individuals and we look at the biggest news stories and developments around the world for CBDCs. Not only that but Visa has some news of its own: Just last week, Visa expanded its use of US Dollar Coin (USDC) for digital currency settlement, adding pilot programs globally with WorldPay, Nuvei, and Xapo, modernising large value, cross-border payments, for end-to-end digital currency settlement over blockchain.

Cryptocurrency, also referred to as "crypto", is a form of digital currency that has the potential to disrupt the traditional form of money. Unlike paper currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, a cryptocurrency is created and secured through encrypted data strings that are maintained by a peer-to-peer network called a blockchain. Through this secure ledger of transactions, cryptocurrencies are decentralized and are not issued by governments or other financial institutions. Popular cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Monero. In this episode I dive deeper into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchains with Mauricio Magaldi, Global Head of Strategy for Crypto at 11:FS . We discuss how this new form of currency was created and the potential it has to transform finance as we know it.

This and much more from some very knowledgeable experts who are building real Metaverse propositions today, as well as a closer look at legal, accessibility and diversity considerations for how we may spend our digital lives in future... We LOVE a roast on Blockchain Won't Save the World, and this just may be our best roast yet!

Lots of skeuomorphism... I promise, but the end of this episode you will look at the Metaverse, and the concept of digital virtual collaboration in a whole different light. It's been one hell of a season, and this is the perfect way to bring it to a close. Thanks to every single listener and guest who have made the Blockchain Won't Save the World Podcast so successful, and who have brought our amazing community together over the past few years.

gm. Mauricio Magaldi is back this week with a bonus episode to talk about a story that's been grasping everyone's attention. You may remember the OneCoin frenzy from its peak in 2015-2016, or its highly publicised fall in 2017 when its creator, Dr Ruja Ignotava, disappeared without a trace and millions, if not billions, of dollars. Regulators issued warnings, police departments around the world got involved, victims of the scam came out to share their stories, and the so-called ‘Cryptoqueen' is still nowhere to be found. Fast forward to right now, Ignatova is now on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list, and developments in her case have been rolling in. Today, we are bringing you a very special interview with the person behind the incredible 2019 BBC podcast series, ‘The Missing Cryptoqueen', which investigated the disappearance of Ignatova, and to chat about his new book: Jamie Bartlett.

Our expert hosts, Benjamin Ensor and Mauricio Magaldi, are joined by some great guests to get under the skin of the rise and rise of LATAM fintech. According to the Financial Times, 2021 saw VCs invest $15.3 billion into Latin American firms—triple the funding raised in 2020. A staggering 75% of that investment went into fintech, proptech, and e-commerce. Nubank, LATAM's largest fintech, raised $1.15 billion in the region's biggest ever deal – then floated on the NYSE at a valuation of $40 billion. How did LATAM fintech get to this point? Is everything really as utopian as it seems? And what comes next for the newest global fintech player?

The first podcast crossover on Blockchain Bit! Me and Mauricio Magaldi, host of the bilingual podcast BlockDrops, talked about all things blockchain but a Brazilian twist! Mauricio called from Sao Paulo - my birth town - and we talked about blockchain beyond crypto, NFTs, uses for different blockchain applications for supply chain and much more. Plus, how Bitcoin could have helped Brazil in the early 1990's if existed back then. We also talked about our podcasting journey and why we need more podcast in different languages other than English. Make sure you follow BlockDrops here for your weekly blockchain news roundup.

Welcome to Season 2! New theme music, more guests, and a different way of looking at Blockchain technology, culture and community through the eyes of Blockchain experts in the less-publicised nations around the world - and we're starting with Brazil. There is more Blockchain activity happening in Brazil than almost anywhere in the world, and Brazil has produced some of the most talented minds in Blockchain. Adoption of the technology is tightly linked to the strengths and deficiencies of Brazil as a nation, and it's fascinating to observe. In this episode we cover: - Brazil's relationship with technology, and how Brazil is a Blockchain leader despite lagging behind tech adoption in other areas - Examples of national Blockchain use cases in Public and Private sector - from National Identity to Agri Business to Finance and Crypto Assets - How Blockchain is spoken about in society and the press - The make-up of Brazil's Blockchain community: Fintechs, Cypherpunks, Gov-techs and Enterprise Adopters - The main personalities in Brazilian Blockchain, and who you should be following - Case studies on start-ups in Agri-business and Renewable Energy, and Henkel's 'Reci-Chain' for Recycling - What more is needed to bring Blockchain initiatives to scale in Brazil, and key learnings for other countries Shout to my guests: Mauricio Magaldi, Rosine Kadamani, Gladstone Arantes, Tatiana Revoredo, Renato Lopes, Deborah Aguirre, Kiko Duarte, Isaque Eberhardt and Igor Ferreira
