In This Episode Good leaders drive day-to-day results. Great leaders share visionary ideas and then inspire organizations and stakeholders to find a way to get there. In today's second segment, Jennifer Tescher, host of sister podcast Emerge Everywhere, introduces this year's Financial Health Visionary Award honoree, Brian Moynihan, Chair and CEO of Bank of America. The Visionary award recognizes those who have shown unparalleled leadership in building a more inclusive financial system and empowering the next generation of leaders to innovate solutions that improve financial health for all. Listen to hear about Brian's commitment to financial health and the upcoming headwinds and tailwinds impacting customers' financial health. But first, bestselling author Michael J Casey, the chairman of DAIS (Decentralized AI Society), senior advisor on MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency initiative, and previous Chair of Consensus at CoinDesk, joins Brett to talk about the reality of decentralized and open source AI. The intersection of DeFi and DeAI appears to be a logical path if not for the hundreds of billions being invested in big tech efforts to create AGI. Is it possible to really make AI less centralized and still deliver the promise of a highly automated world? You'll need to tune in to find out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QSByxCEUbA

We're getting to the end of our exploration of blockchain technology, which means we're almost ready to start talking about cryptocurrency. In this final blockchain-focused episode, we clarify a few definitions and look at what exactly is going on under the hood when a bitcoin transaction is made. Although blockchain can get pretty complicated, we know that a basic understanding of it will stand you in good stead when we start to talk about crypto in earnest. Further reading for those who like to curl up with a good book: The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything (2018), by Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains (2018), by Anthony Lewis Bubble or Revolution? (2021), by Neel Mehta, Adi Agashe and Parth Detroja Blockchain Revolution (2016), by Don and Alex Tapscott We hope you enjoy the show.

Last time we started talking in earnest about blockchain: the technology that makes cryptocurrency possible. We avoided getting too deep into the weeds, as it's easy to get swamped by technical jargon if you're not careful. This time, we're wading out a little deeper and talking more about how blockchain works. We'll explore some of the processes that take place when we use a blockchain and explore how they're able to function. Naturally, things get a bit more technical from here, but never fear - we'll explain everything as we go along. We'll look at hash functions, Merkle trees, nodes, miners and much more besides. And, if that all sounds a bit too technical we'll also be exploring how one man ended up spending 10,000 bitcoins on pizza. Some further reading if you fancy it: The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything (2018), by Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains (2018), by Anthony Lewis Bubble or Revolution?

Cryptocurrency couldn't exist without a technology that many have heard of, but few really understand. Blockchain is something of a buzzword these days and, from the outside, it can look dauntingly complicated. Surely this is something best left to the geeks, right? Well, blockchain is indeed pretty complex, but that doesn't mean it's incomprehensible: it just needs some careful explanation. In this episode, we'll begin to explore the subject of blockchain; what it is and what it's designed to do. We'll introduce a few terms that are useful to know in the world of crypto, but we're going to keep things pretty simple today. The tricky stuff comes later! A working knowledge of blockchain technology is an invaluable aid to understanding cryptocurrency. Once we start to talk about Bitcoin in later episodes, a little blockchain know-how will go a long way. If you want to dig deeper into the wonders of blockchain, then there are a number of well-written and easy-to-understand books available. We found all of those below super-helpful when researching blockchain for this and later episodes. The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything (2018), by Michael J.

In this week's episode, we go to Ireland. “Money Reimagined” co-hosts Sheila Warren and Michael J. Casey are joined by Michael O'Sullivan, the author of “The Levelling,” which describes the post-globalization era, and Lory Kehoe, director, Digital Assets & Blockchain at BNY Mellon and the founder of Blockchain Ireland.This episode is sponsored by Unique One Network.The topic, nominally, is the Biden Administration's proposal to harmonize international tax rates and Ireland's resistance to that. What does this have to do with crypto? A lot, it turns out. A common concern among regulators of cryptocurrencies is that a lack of international harmony across jurisdictions creates “regulatory arbitrage” for developers of what is a global, borderless 24/7 technology and market. The idea, flagged by Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler in his impactful speech this week, is that if there's no consistency in rules around the world, crypto businesses will pick and choose where they base their operations and tend toward the most lax regulatory regime. Regulators like Gensler fear this fosters a race to the bottom, opening the door for criminals and the worst actors to find their way in.Makes sense, right? But there's another side to the story about the policy variance around the world. That is, it allows smaller countries to find opportunities they might not otherwise have to attract international investors and to build their own vibrant domestic economies on the back of that. As we learn from Sullivan and Kehoe, Ireland's use of competitively low corporate tax rates had a sweeping impact on the Irish economy that went far beyond multinationals setting up headquarters there. It was the spark that generated a vibrant ecosystem of innovation, a holistic growth machine that continues to underpin Ireland's decades-long economic expansion. With many in Ireland looking to create a crypto-friendly regulatory framework to encourage innovation in digital assets and fintech, that experience poses real questions about how far governments should go toward harmonizing their rules.-Unique One Network is an interoperable platform for DeFi-enabled NFT marketplaces, in a variety of sectors, built on Polkadot Parity Substrate.

The trio take a couple of crypto-critical essays and dissect them.At a time when cryptocurrencies seem to be under attack, especially from government officials, it's tempting for people in the crypto community to drop into defensive mode, which mostly translates into dismissive mode. Whether it's criticisms of bitcoin's energy usage, complaints about illicit activity through crypto, or people pointing out how many outrights scams are run through this technology, the industry's response is typically to mock the critic for their ignorance or hypocrisy in ways that can sound to outsiders like whataboutism. Sure, sometimes it's warranted, as with Crypto Twitter's response to Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) claim earlier this week that a crypto-based financial system would be run at the “whims of some shadowy, faceless group of super-coders.” Some memes were acutely on point; many others were just downright hilarious.But often the knee-jerk dismissiveness backfires against the community. It can come across as cult-like, a failure to embrace and learn from criticism and a reluctance to consider the views of others. This is not how you bridge divides and expand adoption. So, in its own humble attempt to take a more reflective stance, “Money Reimagined” takes a look at two noteworthy criticisms of the crypto space. One is a thoughtful essay entitled “I, Token: The untold story of the hole in Bitcoin's heart” from Brett Scott, an essayist who explores the intersection of money and society, often with the bent of an anthropologist. The piece argues that bitcoin enthusiasts fail to imbue the cryptocurrency with true meaning because they focus on the “function” of bitcoin (what it does) and not its structure (what it is). Along the way, he makes some compelling points about the difference between “price” and “value.”The other is a blog post by International Monetary Fund staffers Tobias Adrian and Rhoda Weeks-Brown, in which they argue cryptoassets are not viable for governments to explore as alternatives to state-run currencies.We hope you enjoy listening. -Unique One Network is an interoperable Platform for DeFi enabled NFT Marketplaces, in a variety of sectors, built on Polkadot Parity Substrate.

Bitcoin became a buzzword overnight. A cyber enigma with an enthusiastic following, it pops up in headlines and fuels endless media debate. You can apparently use it to buy anything from coffee to cars, yet few people seem truly to understand what it is. This raises the question: Why should anyone care about bitcoin?In The Age of Cryptocurrency, Wall Street journalists Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey deliver the definitive answer to this question. Cyber money is poised to launch a revolution, one that could reinvent traditional financial and social structures while bringing the world's billions of "unbanked" individuals into a new global economy. Cryptocurrency holds the promise of a financial system without a middleman, one owned by the people who use it and one safeguarded from the devastation of a 2008-type crash.But bitcoin, the most famous of the cyber monies, carries a reputation for instability, wild fluctuation, and illicit business; some fear it has the power to eliminate jobs and to upend the concept of a nation-state. It implies, above all, monumental and wide-reaching change--for better and for worse. But it is here to stay, and you ignore it at your peril.Vigna and Casey demystify cryptocurrency--its origins, its function, and what you need to know to navigate a cyber economy. The digital currency world will look very different from the paper currency world; The Age of Cryptocurrency will teach you how to be ready.Buy the book here: https://amzn.to/2SneXkp+++++Subscribe to the Podcast!▶︎ PODCAST: https://bit.ly/3qpki6YFollow us on Social Media:▶︎ YOUTUBE | http://bit.ly/2MZJ3Io▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/thebooklegion▶︎ FACEBOOK | https://facebook.com/thebooklegion▶︎ WEBSITE | https://thebooklegion.com

In this episode, I speak with Michael J. Casey, CoinDesk's chief content officer. Previously, Casey was the CEO of Streambed Media, a company he cofounded to develop provenance data for digital content. He was also a senior advisor at MIT Media Labs's Digital Currency Initiative and a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management. Prior to joining MIT, Casey spent 18 years at The Wall Street Journal. Casey has authored five books, including "The Age of Cryptocurrency" and "The Truth Machine," both co-authored with Paul Vigna. We chat about two controversial topics: Wall Street's 180 degree turn toward crypto and the STABLE Act, introduced by Rep. Rashid Tlaib. We explored the deep concerns expressed by the crypto community about both topics, what's different with the latest march toward all-time Bitcoin highs and what 2021 holds for crypto and blockchain adoption.

In the lore of digital disruption, Eastman Kodak Co.'s downfall is particularly momentous.Kodak was once one of the world's most powerful companies. But it failed to act on digital cameras and online photo sharing, despite seeing the trends years before. (Kodak engineer Steve Sasson created the first digital camera in 1975.)It's an apt story to remember now as the digital money revolution rolls ahead at a time of momentous political transition.On this episode of CoinDesk's Money Reimagined, join Jen Zhu Scott, Executive Chairman of The Commons Project, Tanvi Ratna, CEO of Policy 4.0, along with hosts Michael J. Casey and Sheila Warren of the World Economic Forum for this deep-dive into the potential of, and thought behind China's forthcoming DCEP, better known as the digital yuan.With DCEP, China's supply chains will become hyper-efficient, giving it a big advantage over other countries' production sectors. And as those models extend into China's international One Belt One Road initiative, foreign dependency on its production processes could grow, giving Beijing geopolitical clout. Out of this, China will forge financial autonomy. Its digital currency will eventually be interoperable with other tokens and blockchains, allowing its businesses and their foreign trading partners to move money across borders without using dollars as an intermediary. They'll bypass New York, in other words. Solution: Open MoneyThis won't happen overnight. But the effect on confidence in the U.S. could arise within the next four years. How should Washington react? Christopher Giancarlo, former CFTC chairman and the founder of the Digital Dollar Foundation, is pushing for a digital dollar that would integrate constitutionally enshrined privacy protections, making it more appealing than the digital yuan, which many fear will become a Beijing surveillance tool. But will people truly trust the U.S. not to monitor digital dollar transactions? After all, as Jennifer Zhu Scott, chair of the Commons Project, noted in this week's Money Reimagined podcast, global finance is already subject to a comprehensive U.S.-led system of surveillance.So, while we're right to worry about a Chinese “panopticon” ingesting people's identifying information, that's not the data threat the U.S. can or should compete with. In the same podcast episode, Policy 4.0 CEO Tanvi Ratna said the bigger issue is how troves of DCEP-generated anonymized data will enable Chinese businesses to extract huge efficiencies and unlock innovation across decentralized economic systems.There may be a way for the U.S. to compete here. But it will require a radical, disruptive solution. This is an episode you won't want to miss.Original Album Art Image by Kido Dong / Unsplash modified by CoinDeskSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The virtual event invest: ethereum economy takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 14. CoinDesk’s Christine Kim spoke to colleagues Michael J. Casey and Aaron Stanley about the most compelling and under-discussed topics about Ethereum 2.0 headlining next week’s conference. From the dynamics of staking to the architecture of sharding, there haven’t been many topics Ethereum 2.0 core developers have shied away from discussing over the past five weeks on “Developer Perspectives: Ethereum 2.0.” See also: 3 Things You Should Know Before Staking on Ethereum 2.0Each discussion, however, has sparked new questions about the ramifications of Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake on the crypto markets and the broader blockchain industry. “There’s a lot of unanswered questions about how the markets are going to behave,” said Casey, CoinDesk’s chief content officer. “Do we end up with a split, [with] two versions of ethereum or at least two tokens that trade differently in the marketplace?”Casey added that financial engineers in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space will likely seek to unlock the liquidity of staked ETH on Ethereum 2.0 before token transfers are officially enabled on the network. What new DeFi products are created, their attributes and, most important, their impact on the value of ETH remain to be determined. Along with lingering questions over how the markets will react to the launch of Ethereum 2.0, there’s also uncertainty over how the launch will affect the competitive landscape for dapp users and dapp developers in the crypto industry. “What does the multi-chain future look like?” asked Stanley, CoinDesk’s managing director of events content. “If Eth 2.0 succeeds, … what does that mean for all these other [smart contract] chains out there? Are they going to go away or just cease to exist? I don’t think that’s the case.”With the recent popularity around yield farming and liquidity mining on Ethereum, Stanley also questioned what the real incentives are for users holding large amounts of ETH, upwards of $11,000 worth, to stake on Ethereum 2.0 when they could earn “100x returns farming ‘hotdog coin’ or whatever the meme coin of the day is.”See also: Yearn, YAM and the Rise of Crypto’s ‘Weird DeFi’ MomentThese questions are pertinent to the discussions happening next Wednesday at invest: ethereum economy. Keynote speakers headlining the virtual conference are founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Heath P. Tarbert.

This episode is sponsored by ErisX, The Stellar Development Foundation and Grayscale Digital Large Cap Investment Fund.A pandemic becomes the catalyst for a global markets sell-off and potentially another ‘greater’ recession. From the U.S. Federal Reserve to Venezuela; the Bank of England to 1 Hacker Way, the question of what constitutes money and who controls it are more urgent than ever. Join Michael J. Casey and Naomi Brockwell as they speak with a number of leading lights in crypto and finance in Money Reimagined.
Bloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz interviews Paul Vigna, a Wall Street Journal reporter who covers the cryptocurrency sector. His most recent book, co-authored with Michael J. Casey, is "The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything." He and Casey also co-authored 2015's "The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and the Blockchain Are Challenging the Global Economic Order."
What's driving the bubble-inducing speculative fervor for tokens and ICOs? The fact that the disruption promised by blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and their offspring, while unpredictable, is aimed not only at decades-old business models but at a fundamental feature of civilization that dates back millennia: record-keeping. With Michael J. Casey of Digital Currency Initiative.
We planned to be off for the holidays, but we couldn't resist. Too much excitement this week. Enjoy. We are witnessing one of the largest price declines in the history of Bitcoin, but worry not, 2018 is just around the corner and this technology is just getting started. Josh and Mike discuss why Coinbase sucks, fees to move Bitcoin are not a big deal, and learn that 18 year olds are in love with Bitcoin. Also, Mike shares his ideas on the future of autonomous vehicles and real estate in a digital tokenized world. A lot of good stuff this week. Happy Holidays!

While bitcoin and blockchain may sound like something from science fiction, they have become powerful tools to help us rethink banking and finance. What began as a cypherpunk vision has become a viable model of currency and exchange for everyone with access to a Smartphone, from the unbanked in Afghanistan to the urban hipster in New York City. Eager to learn more about where bitcoin and blockchain technology has come from and where it is headed, co-authors Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna researched and wrote the bestselling book, The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and the Blockchain are Challenging the Global Economic Order. In this interview, Michael J.
