Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen P Williams

What does it take to be a man whom we interview on Two Old Bitches? Stephen P. Williams, 64, only the second man on our show in five years, is an excellent example of just what it takes. A journalist, author, visual artist and the creator of Stephen's People, a newsletter on aging, he is as fascinated by getting old as we are. (Full disclosure: his piece on Old Men sex dolls in his newsletter also captured our imagination!) Stephen has written that as a boy growing up in Kansas,  he “leaned back under a cottonwood and felt wind, the sky and the leaves, all connected. That pure sensation guided everything that followed.” He has written a number of nonfiction books --Blockchain: The Next Everything is the latest-- and six as-of-yet unpublished novels. In the midst of the pandemic, he set off on a road trip captured in his video, art and word project, Postcards from Pandemic. With curiosity, thoughtfulness and wit, he brings a fresh and realistic take on aging to Stephen's People --and did we mention he gives damn good dating advice?

Williams is a writer, journalist, and author, with over a dozen published books. Author of Blockchain: The Next Everything, from Scribner publishers.

Stephen P. Williams, author of Blockchain: The Next Everything, talks about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchains. In this interview, I ask him: What is a blockchain? Is each bitcoin transaction really consuming 30-USA-households worth of electricity? What's the difference between proof-of-work versus proof-of-stake? What's the promise of Etherum vs. Bitcoin? What's blockchain's killer app? What what's the next low-hanging fruit? Why should painters love the blockchain? Why did someone pay $170,000 for a digital crypto kitty? Why is Williams bullish on Ethereum and Litecoin? How are dapps (distributed applications) going to impact us? See the state of the dapps that Stephen Williams mentions. What does a self-sovereign world look like? Around 35 minutes into the interview, we discuss an interactive McKinsey matrix about the blockchain industry. It's worth seeing the matrix (or to watch my YouTube video about it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRSYkay394k You can follow Stephen Williams on Twitter. For those who don't see how this relates to travel (my normal subject), it's that cryptocurrencies and blockchains have the potential of disrupting everything, including the travel industry.  Promoting Health Access Sumbawa One of WanderLearn's top patrons, Kathy Kennedy Enger, asked me to draw attention to Health Access Sumbawa.

LONDON — Bitcoin once flew high and peaked at around $20,000. Compare that to the recent price of a mere $4,000. The vision of a token-driven decentralised economy and off course untold wealth for people has imploded and it is now almost a dirty word as it struggles for legitimacy. And many wondered if it is over for blockchain as well. But to use a good old saying, ‘Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water’ as blockchain has many other uses. If you have been pouring over blockchain for dummies trying to understand the technology behind it, Stephen P. Williams, the author of “Blockchain, the next everything”, explains to Bloomberg’s Carol Massar and Jason Kelley that you need not understand the science behind it to use it. - Linda van Tilburg
