The recent volatility of crypto has one side screaming "told you so!" and the other side buying up more assets. Whether we like it or not, crypto has massive implications for buying and selling art, including music, and has the potential to be a massive game-changer for up-and-coming artists who are building their fan-bases online. My guest for today's episode is Drew Morton, who has combined his passion for music making, and his passion for digital art into NFTs that can be purchased on several platforms utilizing several different blockchains.In this episode, we talk about the upcoming Ethereum merge, which will transition the Ethereum blockchain to something called Proof of Stake, promising to use just 1% of the energy the system currently uses. What could this mean for artists? What could it mean for musicians? Drew and Adam discuss the nuances of the subject while learning about how Drew got in to the scene, and how selling his art as NFTs got his family through some difficult circumstances.Drew on the web: https://www.drewmadestuff.com/Drew on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewmadestuff/?hl=enDrew's LinkTree to his NFT Marketplaces: https://linktr.ee/drewmadestuff____________________________Download Gig Boss app: https://linktr.ee/gigbossJoin the Gig Boss Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gigbossBumper Music: Sunshine is Out by Adam Meckler https://open.spotify.com/track/1u12flYbzE4jxD1cwG5pGT?si=5228a5324e474da9-----------------------------------How to Make it in the New Music Business Book: https://amzn.to/3Pls5ixAri's Take Academy: https://aristakeacademy.teachable.com/?affcode=267075_yqqy4mcn - Use code "GIGBOSS" at checkout for 10% off
Browse our collection: https://opensea.io/collection/fulcrumnft There's way more to the NFT marketplace craze than initially believed, in my opinion — like many others, I overlooked NFTs as a “fad” aspect to cryptocurrency's growing relevance. I think, instead, upon further introspection… it may be another disruptive use case for blockchain tech, one that will have detractors crying for years to come as it ruthlessly disintermediates legacy financial players such as art auction houses and fiat escrow services for large art transactions.

For this special inaugural “OG edition” of “Money Reimagined,” hosts Sheila Warren and Michael Casey sit down with crypto entrepreneur, investor and long-time cypherpunk Austin Hill. This episode is sponsored by Unique One Network.This is the first in an ad hoc series in which “crypto OGs,” people who've been working in the space for some time and have made significant contributions to it, discuss their origin stories, their experiences and their views of the industry's future. Austin Hill is the ideal person to kick this off. He is perhaps best known in the crypto community for being the first CEO of Bitcoin development company Blockstream. But his roots in crypto run much deeper than that, back to before even the arrival of Bitcoin, when he founded a company in the 1990s called Zero Knowledge Systems whose mission was to use the tools of cryptography to build business models around services designed to protect people's privacy online. It was one of the first attempts to align business opportunities with the Cypherpunk ethos of “Don't Trust. Verify” – a paraphrasing of Ronald Reagan that Hill and fellow Blockstream founder (now CEO) Adam Back coined together. What we get from Hill is a journey. He tells of being influenced early on by the radical ideas of Timothy May and the Cypherpunk movement, which leads, among other projects, to some early, failed dabblings in electronic money. He then describes his discovery a decade later that Bitcoin had solved many of the problems of those first prototypes, which leads to the founding of Blockstream. We learn of why he left that well-funded company amid the stress of the brutal “block size war,” and how he has now found peace doing his own thing even as he turns his focus to the very biggest of challenges, how to save humanity from itself. Keep your eye out for later “OG Edition” episodes in the near future. -Unique One Network is an interoperable Platform for DeFi enabled NFT Marketplaces, in a variety of sectors, built on Polkadot Parity Substrate.

Blockchain technology has accelerated conversations around decentralization, anonymity, agency and empowerment around the world. On this week's “Money Reimagined,” hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are joined by two experts to discuss digital security and privacy, with a focus on India. This episode is sponsored by Unique One Network.Dr. Usha Ramanathan is a lawyer and human rights activist in India. She has worked since 2009 to critique and challenge India's controversial digital identity program. Marta Belcher serves as general counsel of Protocol Labs, chair of the Filecoin Foundation and special counsel to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Belcher recently testified on crypto before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.Initiatives have been popping up around the globe, claiming to address social issues such as banking the unbanked, humanitarian data within refugee camps and identification programs to increase access to governmental programs. There is a romantic appeal to believing these initiatives are built upon a foundation of good intentions, but the reality is often far more complicated, with motivations like a simple money grab, user data collection, or surveillance coming into the mix. And regardless of intentions, these efforts often result in harmful consequences to the users they are engaging.India's Aadhaar structure, a biometric, digital and physical identity system, is the world's largest biometric ID system. It is highly centralized, and the data honeypot it presents has gotten the government of India in trouble more than once. An increasing number of systems, from the mundane like grocery shopping to the official like marriage registrations, require an Aadhaar number.And it's not a perfect system. Individuals can and have been barred from receiving essentials because of technical snags in the registration process with Aadhaar. The system also brings up serious privacy concerns.While some choose to use blockchain technology for its ability to transact anonymously, others work towards establishing digital self-sovereign identity solutions. Where is the balancing point between anonymity and ease of use? Is the additional space anonymity provides around an individual essential to their rights in markets and society?-Unique One Network is an interoperable Platform for DeFi enabled NFT Marketplaces, in a variety of sectors, built on Polkadot Parity Substrate.

You can think of this week's episode as a nod to what crypto people call the “no coiners,” an effort to listen to the community's critics and weigh the value of their analysis.This episode is sponsored by Unique One Network, Mimo and Quantstamp.To do so, “Money Reimagined” co-hosts Sheila Warren and Michael J. Casey are joined by Noelle Acheson, head of Market Insights at Genesis. (A trading company, Genesis is owned by CoinDesk parent Digital Currency Group.) 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.

Stablecoins are suddenly all over the news, with their explosive growth posing all sorts of questions for investors and regulators alike. This episode is sponsored by Unique One Network, Mimo and Quantstamp.To discuss, co-hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are joined this week by Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Avanti, a Wyoming-based digital assets bank, and George Selgin, director of the Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives at the Cato Institute.We start with a striking fact: the supply of the top 10 stablecoins pegged one-to-one with the U.S. dollar is up fourfold from the beginning of the year, at $109 billion. That's more than three times the combined value of PayPal and Venmo's outstanding customer accounts at the end of last quarter. This spectacular growth is encouraging stablecoin issuers to play it big. Circle, the issuer of the highly successful dollar-pegged token USDC, is going public via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company. Tether, the controversial issuer of USDT, has settled a lawsuit with the New York attorney general's office and is providing regular updates on its token's reserve backing. It is also now branching out into other markets, including a euro-backed stablecoin. And Paxos is expanding a digital asset servicing agreement with PayPal that's sure to bring opportunities for PAX and Binance's BUSD, the two stablecoins it manages, to play a back-end role in a growing market of consumer crypto transactions. Regulators are getting nervous. Federal Reserve officials are worrying about potential systemic risk from economy-wide exposure to de facto dollar substitutes that may not be sufficiently backed by reserves to stand up the value investors expect them to hold. And anti-money laundering enforcement agents are worried that these tokens will facilitate illicit transactions among criminals. So, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen convening a high-powered meeting of the most important financial regulators this week to discuss the topic, it seemed like an opportune time to dive into the outlook for stablecoins and the evolving regulatory framework.Will regulators strike the right balance by using smart disclosure and management rules to give customers and investors confidence to use stablecoins? Or will they adopt a draconian, restrictive posture that kills off the sector's huge innovation potential? Long and Selgin are ideally placed to discuss these issues. Both are steeped in crypto knowledge, the structure of the banking system and regulation. Long's company, Avanti, is issuing its own digital dollar token, the Avit, for which it is seeking support from the Federal Reserve. Selgin, a monetary historian, is finding that his expertise in the United States' free-banking era of the 19th century is proving especially relevant to the outlook for stablecoins in the 21st century.-Unique One Network is an interoperable Platform for DeFi enabled NFT Marketplaces, in a variety of sectors, built on Polkadot Parity Substrate.

As we mentioned last week, this is part two of our two-part series of “Blockchain meet ESG,” an exploration of the challenges and opportunities that confront the crypto and blockchain communities as investors and businesses increasingly demand compliance with environmental, sustainability and governance objectives. This episode was recorded live Tuesday, May 25 2021 at Consensus 2021.This episode is sponsored by Unique One Network, Mimo and Quantstamp.In this second episode, our guests address subtleties and niches within environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG). Increasingly, blockchain technologies are employed in a variety of forms across the world to combat specific areas within ESG. These range from indigenous resource allocation and tracking to building sustainable supply chains from the ground up and applying big data to consumer water conservation. And that's just a taste of what's underway. At the same time, the blockchain back end's impact on ESG is being refined, with initiatives angling to avoid worst-case scenarios of innovation, accurately quantify bitcoin energy consumption and reinforce incentives for using clean energy sources.This time we'll hear from a diverse array of fascinating guests: Julius Akinyemi, founder and CEO of UWINCorp, and Lucía Gallardo, founder and CEO of Emerge, discuss blockchain solutions for free and fair trade. The two companies both focus on resource assessment. UWINCorp encodes the data and location of indigenous plants onto the blockchain, while Emerge is building an agricultural resource database.Tanya Stephens, senior innovation leader at Procter & Gamble, addresses ways to track sustainability through supply chains and a consumer-focused water conservation coalition. The “50L Home” initiative believes that if consumers have the right data at the right time, they will be able to reduce their water consumption to only 50 liters a day.Austin Hill, founder of Brudder Adventures and the first CEO of Blockstream, explains the “Vulnerable World Hypothesis,” which investigates how current innovations could be abused or misused in the future. Though “Vulnerable World” predicts a dim future, Hill outlines several strategies to avoid the worst-case scenarios.Meltem Demirors, chief strategy officer of Coinshares, and Anton Dek, research associate at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, outline methods for quantifying bitcoin's energy consumption and interpret recent figures. A trend of co-locating mining facilities and renewable energy plants is placing decentralized, smaller-scale facilities on the grid.Mike Colyer, CEO of Foundry (Foundry is owned by Digital Currency Group, the parent company of CoinDesk), and Jesse Morris, chief commercial officer of the Energy Web Foundation, present the miner's perspective on the incentives of clean energy sources.-Unique One Network is an interoperable Platform for DeFi enabled NFT Marketplaces, in a variety of sectors, built on Polkadot Parity Substrate.

When the NFT boom took off at the end of 2020, there were a few companies that powered this explosion. Rarible was one of these companies. While NFT marketplaces are an increasingly crowded space, Rarible was early, well designed, and had the unique aspect of their own governance token. In this episode I spoke with Alex Salnikov, the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of the company to learn about the founding and the future of the organization.
With Sheila out on vacation, we're doing something different on the Money Reimagined podcast this week and next. We're bringing you remastered versions of two one-hour CoinDesk TV shows we recorded during the Consensus virtual conference in late May.This episode is sponsored by Unique One Network, Mimo and Quantstamp.The theme for this two-part series was “Blockchain meet ESG,” an exploration of the challenges and opportunities that confront the crypto and blockchain communities as investors and businesses increasingly demand compliance with environmental, sustainability and governance objectives. A total of 14 guests over the two days helped us dive into how blockchain technology can help communities collectively address climate change or boost financial inclusion, and how the technology might overcome its own ESG challenges, such as Bitcoin's carbon footprint and the crypto industry's relative lack of diversity.These issues have become more urgent for the crypto industry as public attention has grown on the heavy energy usage within Bitcoin's and other protocols' proof-of-work mining systems. These were especially aroused by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who walked back the company's initial intention to accept bitcoin for its cars, citing environmental concerns. As Wall Street banks and asset managers put ever more resources into ESG investment vehicles and as the Biden Administration puts environmental and other concerns at the center of its regulatory agenda, these matters will only become of greater importance to the crypto industry. Industry insiders are trying to flip the debate. With the right deals and policies in place, Bitcoin mining could be used to underwrite the rollout of renewable energy infrastructure, for example. And blockchain technology could help resolve what is arguably the biggest barrier to the effective deployment of ESG mandates: a consistent record-keeping system to accurately measure their impact. The technology could also help align incentives within an economic ecosystem so that all profit-seeking participants are motivated to achieve outcomes that serve the public good. This first episode, recorded on Monday, May 24, tackles the complexities of counting, tracking, and reporting ESG, including climate accounting, sustainable investing, Wall Street's ESG movement, blockchains for ESG tracking and tokenizing ESG.You'll hear from the following guests, each in short 5-10 minute segments:Massamba Thioye, co-chair of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and Martin Weinstein, founder of Open Earth Foundation, discussed the planet's carbon accounting needs. They offered a high-level view of the humanity-wide challenge of how to consistently measure our collective ability to meet the Paris Accord's 2050 targets for carbon neutrality and of how blockchain technology could help.Kevin O'Leary, the Chairman of O'Shares ETF chairman and investor on CNBC's “Shark Tank” show, explained how increasingly powerful ESG committees are making institutional investors more picky about the assets they funnel money into. He shared some of his ideas on how the Bitcoin community can better adjust to this new reality. Mark McDivitt, CEO of Context Labs and former global head of ESG at State Street, ran with the mantra of “what we can measure we can manage” to argue for sophisticated blockchain-based models involving multiple calibrations and analyses to ensure that environmental data is trustworthy enough for investors. Cristina Dolan, the CEO of InsideChains, spoke of her work for a forthcoming book about data science and ESG demands, in which she and co-author Diane Barrero Zalles, detail the need for standardization and how this technology might help. Marc Johnson, senior associate at Rocky Mountain Institute, highlighted his organization's work using a blockchain model for tracking cumulative carbon emissions and reductions at each stage along a supply chain. And Paul Brody, global blockchain leader at Ernst & Young, outlined a vision for how tokenization based on trusted environmental and sustainability data can generate digital assets that economically incentivize both investors and the businesses that issue them to consistently strive for positive ESG outcomes.
