Podcasts about technology behind bitcoin

What is Blockchain? What is it for? How does it work? What kind of impact can it have on our societies? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Don Tapscott in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. One of the world's leading authorities on the impact of technology on business and society, Tapscott is currently Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of the Blockchain Research Institute. He is also an Adjunct Professor at INSEAD, and Chancellor Emeritus of Trent University in Ontario where he served as Chancellor 2013-2019. Tapscott is a member of the Order of Canada, and has authored 16 books, including the global best seller Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies is Changing the World, co-authored with his son Alex. He has coined many concepts that are part of the business lexicon today and is sought by corporate and government leaders globally. In this episode, Tapscott describes what he calls the “second era of the digital age”, and the Blockchain's role in it. He also discusses the potential of a Web 3.0, in which we can own and monetize our own data. Tapscott looks at the current stage of evolution of artificial intelligence as a form of generative AI, and the impact of the internet and modern technology on our societies. He also explains the importance of privacy in the digital realm, and examines the potential “dark side” of all these new technologies. Finally, Tapscott advocates for the need for a “social contract” for the digital age, in a conversation well worth listening to.

Many early use cases of a technology in hindsight look pretty silly. In 2000, Seventeen "dot coms" spent millions on ads for Super Bowl XXXIV - more web-based companies than have booked ads in the intervening twenty years. Similarly with "blockchain" which I take a delightful hour to kick around with my guest Professor Michael Mainelli, Chairman of @ZYenGroup . Whenever a tech term becomes marketing faerie dust, look out! #Blockchain and #BTC (which some call #Bitcoin) come under our strict scrutiny. We touch on #CHECKSUM, the accurate and less sexy version of a #hash. If blockchain is not boring, you're doing it wrong! The era of clever techies selling NFTs of monkeys on a sailboat to people for $75,000 is over, but that does not mean that real world NFT uses are not coming to a global market near you. Also, Michael was kind of enough to spruik our Host's upcoming appearance on the City of London's FS Club webinar series: https://fsclub.zyen.com/ webinar series on 15 February. We'll be discussing how an innovative #RareEarths mine in #Greenland is deploying commercial sales contracts on the blockchain in an #NFT structure. Sign up for the webinar here: https://fsclub.zyen.com/events/forthcoming-events/how-to-nft-a-greenland-rare-earths-mine/ to dive even more deeply into how real adults will be using NFTs for real asset management. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/messytimes/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/messytimes/support

Alex Tapscott is a prolific writer, speaker and investor. Together with his father, Don Tapscott, who has also been on the podcast, he co-authored the best-selling book “Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies is Changing the World."

GDA Capital's Family Office Summit, co-hosted with Secure Digital Markets, brings together investors, asset managers, trustees, and companies from around the globe to explore the bleeding-edge technologies transforming the world. The annual event is set to kick off virtually in the Metaverse on August 5.At the summit, traditional family offices will come together from around the world to hear from investment managers, tech luminaries, innovators, entrepreneurs, and the disruptive projects and teams funding and pursuing the next generation of high-impact technological endeavors.The event will be headlined by Alex Tapscott, the Canadian business author and advisor who is best known for his revolutionary work on how emerging technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies impact business, society, and government. His critically acclaimed non-fiction best-seller, Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies is Changing the World has been translated into over 15 languages, and he has held TED Talks, co-founded the Blockchain Research Institute, and was recognized in 2017 with the Digital Thinking Award from Thinkers50.Mr. Tapscott will open the event with his talk titled How the Digital Asset Revolution is Transforming Money, Business, and More. Other topics that will be discussed during the event include the digital asset revolution; the transformation of money and business; building the future digital economy; diversifying in alternative assets and disruptive investments; the impact of regulations on digital assets; NFTs and the creative economy of Web3; and disruptive investment strategies for family offices.David Lucatch, CEO of Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc., a publicly listed blockchain, fintech and digital identity company and Managing Director of Aftermath Islands Metaverse, an interactive virtual reality world built on blockchain technology, is also attending the event as a panel moderator. Mr. Lucatch and his team boast decades of combined experience in cutting-edge technologies and the Aftermath Islands project is pushing the envelope in terms of what is possible using hyper-realistic graphics, pixel streaming, play-to-earn interactivity, digital assets, and NFT-based identification solutions at the intersections of the real world and Metaverse-based virtual environments.The summit is being held at a critical time in the market with negative interest rates, rising geopolitical dangers, and a lack of investor familiarity with alternative investment opportunities staunching the growth of family office portfolios. By bringing together investors, asset managers, and thought leaders from the Web3 and digital assets spaces, GDA Capital and Secure Digital Markets hope to bridge the gaps between disruptive investments and the technologies that are building the underlying infrastructure of the new digital world for market players familiar only with traditional investment opportunities.The online event will enable participants to ask live questions from the speaker panel, interact with other participants, and network with other attendees in the Metaverse toward finding common ground and establishing partnerships and collaborative ventures in areas of mutual interest.The summit will also provide attende

  Don Tapscott is the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman at the Blockchain Research Institute and bestselling author of 16 books. His most recent book is Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World.    Don has been on the Thinkers50 list 5 times, most recently in 2017 when he was ranked #2 on the list. He also wrote the afterword for my 2012 book, The Collaborative Organization.    At the Blockchain Research Institute, Don and his team study hundreds of cases and stories within 15 industries in order to document the strategic implications of blockchain. Because of this research they are able to help leaders in business and government navigate the blockchain revolution.    Why do we need blockchain? As Don explains up until now we have had intermediaries such as banks, brockers, credit card companies, governments, etc… in order to make sure that assets are safe. But these intermediaries are getting hacked and they sometimes have processes that are outdated, lengthy and costly. That is where blockchain comes in.    The intermediaries will not disappear altogether, but the value will change. He says, “I think the opportunity to create new value, may be bigger than the old disintermediation. I mean, look at... Barnes and Noble suffered, but look at Amazon, it's the most valuable company in the world now. It's in the middle, right in that space. So I said, "The problem is, the leaders of the old middle are not typically the ones to create the new middles." So what happens to these people? Well, we're of the view the future is not something to be predicted, it's something to be achieved. It depends on what they do. And traditional people in the middle, I'd say Western Union, I wouldn't think that they have a huge chance. I don't know the company very well, but I don't see a lot of signs that they're trying to innovate a whole new model for remittances globally, using this technology. So it's really up to you.”   Blockchain still has a long way to go, it’s still, as Don says, “relatively immature”. It’s going to take awhile to fully implement it, but it is still a profound advancement and it is definitely going to impact the way we live and work.    Don’s advice to individuals and leaders is to be curious and look into blockchain to learn what you can about it. He says if you run a large corporation it doesn’t matter what function you are in--whether you are the CEO, in HR, even in marketing--you will be affected by blockchain and there will be big opportunities to utilize it.  What you will learn: What is blockchain and how is it impacting the future of work Don’s advice for the younger generation currently in college The implications of AI--will they be positive or negative? A look at specific trends that are forcing organizations to take blockchain more seriously now Don’s advice for both non-leaders and leaders on what we should be doing about blockchain

After having reviewed the basics of the blockchain in our previous open call, we investigate some of the applications for this technology. Beginning with the features that it enables, we will then branch out into the mechanics for how these features are delivered, some operations that are already under construction, and some more hypothetical designs that have not yet appeared over the horizon. This series will likely continue for a couple more weeks, and an excellent companion book that contains a review of some of the content we will be discussing is The Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World.WordPress: https://amateursociety.wordpress.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/OntheObjectiveSpreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/theamateursocietySteemit: https://steemit.com/@amateursocietyGab: https://gab.ai/AmateurSocietyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/amateursociety/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ontheobjective

Blockchain technology -- developed as the foundation of Bitcoin -- will have an impact on business and society that we are only beginning to understand. While financial services will be the first industry to experience some foundational changes as a result of blockchain, the technology could ultimately change the nature of how work gets done, how organizations are structured, and how the world works. In this FIR Book Review, FIR host Shel Holtz reviews "Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World" by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott.Continue Reading → The post FIR Book Review: Blockchain Revolution by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.

Today’s podcast guest, Alex Tapscott, is the co-author of an important new book called, Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World. Alex describes blockchain as a vast, global distributed ledger where digital assets can be moved, stored, and managed securely and privately and where trust doesn’t need to be established by a third-party or an intermediary, but rather can be established in collaboration, cryptography and clever code. Bitcoin, which we’ve all heard about, is the largest and most used blockchain in the world. Now, why am I talking about blockchain and why should you care as a financial advisor? One simple reason…blockchain could fundamentally alter the way financial advisors interact with and connect to consumers. And it could cut billions of dollars out of the intermediary cost structure of the financial services industry.

Understanding blockchain technology is the focus of this episode of the podcast. We start with an introduction to blockchain technology before talking about why it just may represent the internet 2.0, or "the internet of value." We also talk about why blockchain is a technology that companies not just in the financial services space but in a wide variety of industries should be evaluating to see how it will impact their business. Alex Tapscott joins us for this week's episode of the podcast to talk about those topics and more. His just-released book, Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World, looks at blockchain in-depth. It is co-written with best-selling author Don Tapscott and is based on interviews with a wide range of technology pioneers that includes Marc Andreesen, Tim Berners-Lee, and Vint Cerf, among others. Alex is the CEO and founder of Northwest Passage Ventures, an advisory firm that builds blockchain companies. In 2014, Alex wrote the seminal report on governing digital currencies for the Global Solutions Network program at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.  Show Notes Visit the Northwest Passage Ventures website Visit the Blockchain Revolution book's website Follow Alex Tapscott on Twitter Follow Don Tapscott on Twitter
