A Note from James:Sunny Ray is working on an incredible project involving Bitcoin and his company, Matador. They're digitizing gold—turning it into crypto—and he's a Bitcoin maximalist. That's different from my stance: I think there are many crypto tokens that are useful for specific purposes. But Sonny's view is clear—Bitcoin is the foundation.We talk about what digital gold really means, why tokenization is so important, and how the biggest institutions in the world—like BlackRock—are embracing this shift. We also get into why exchanges are hard to use, the future of Ethereum, how gold works culturally in places like India, and why Matador is building its entire strategy on top of Bitcoin. This is a replay from a crypto call I recently held with subscribers.If you have questions, ask me on Twitter: @jaltucher.Episode Description:In this episode, James talks with Sunny Ray, president of Matador, a public company digitizing gold using the Bitcoin blockchain. Sunny shares insights from his early days at Kraken and his experiences launching India's first Bitcoin exchange, Unocoin. They cover the challenges of crypto adoption, the promise of tokenization, and how Bitcoin may be the most durable digital asset of our time.This episode goes beyond the usual headlines—it's a grounded, strategic look at where Bitcoin is heading, how real-world assets like gold are being brought on-chain, and what institutional moves (like BlackRock's) mean for the next phase of crypto. Whether you're a skeptic, a casual investor, or a hardcore maxi, this conversation offers real insight into the future of money.What You'll Learn:Why tokenizing gold on Bitcoin may be the next major step in financial evolutionHow Matador is using ordinals to link physical gold with blockchain dataWhy Bitcoin's scarcity, transparency, and decentralization set it apart from Ethereum and other altcoinsWhat role India's gold culture plays in global crypto adoptionHow public companies are becoming Bitcoin treasury plays—and what that means for investorsTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Intro – Why this episode matters[01:00] What is tokenization and why does it matter?[03:00] Sunny Ray's background: Kraken and Bitcoin since 2012[06:00] Why gold is trusted globally—especially in India[08:00] Gold vs. Bitcoin: Properties and potential[11:00] The macro view: ETFs, government support, and regulation[13:00] Ethereum's origin and limits[15:00] Why Bitcoin is regaining ground in the developer world[17:00] NFTs and ordinals on Bitcoin[20:00] Is tokenization finally crypto's “killer app”?[22:00] Bitcoin's dominance and long-term strength[25:00] Matador's strategy vs. Solana-style plays[29:00] How Matador's digital gold product works[33:00] The benefits of gold on-chain: 24/7 trading, fractional ownership[35:00] Gold art, SAT inscriptions, and Defi integration[38:00] BlackRock, tokenized treasuries, and democratizing finance[40:00] Why tokenization could outpace ETFs and traditional finance[44:00] India's crypto readiness and female tech adoption[46:00] James challenges Sunny's Bitcoin maximalism[49:00] The mythology of Satoshi and Bitcoin's uniqueness[51:00] What else could be tokenized?

Welcome to ELI (Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative), the podcast that brings you your daily dose of entrepreneurial inspiration!

Throughout 2022, the FinTech sector was told to brace for the chill of a prolonged funding winter. The question that lingers is: Are Indian fintech founders feeling the freeze or are VCs keeping them warm? In this installment of FintechX, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO & Co-founder, Unocoin, and Shruti Jain, CSO at Arihant Capital, speak to Anurag Jain, co-founder, KredX about factors like investor sentiment, market opportunities, and regulatory advancements that impact funding.

In this episode, Brad sits down with Sunny Ray and Kyle Kemper. Ray is the cofounder of one of the largest exchanges in India, Unocoin, while Kemper is Justin Trudeau's half-brother and a diehard Bitcoiner. Ray and Kemper are also the hosts of the Love and Freedom podcast, a platform that discusses "current events, challenges, & the opportunities for freedom." The trio talk about the state of politics in Canada and their wish for Bitcoin advocate and Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre to come to power. They also debate what global money printing portends for the common person and why this proves the case for Bitcoin once more. Tune in for these and more!Timestamps00:00:00: Intro by Brad and commentary on Canadian politics 00:09:48: Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is a champion for Bitcoin 00:13:20: The excessive money printing in Canada and how Bitcoin comes in00:33:00: On securing your financial future with Bitcoin 00:42:50: Could central banks and surveillance capitalists be behind NFTs and DeFi?00:49:00: Ethereum's proof of stake model flies against principles of decentralization 00:53:23: Delving into Web 3 scams and Dogecoin & Elon Musk01:06:50: For some countries, Bitcoin is not a luxury 01:23:00: Why we need unification in crypto 01:28:35: The role of money printing in propagating wealth inequality01:45:16: Bitcoin is on track to being worth a hundred thousand dollarsCanada's Justin Trudeau in February invoked the Emergencies Act — the never-before-used law since it was enacted in 1988. The unprecedented move was in response to the Freedom Convoy that had caused blockades in major border crossings in the country and gridlock in the capital. The Convoy was protesting against vaccine mandates and passports. The Emergencies Act cleared the "occupation" in Ottawa and also froze the bank accounts of tens of the Convoy organizers and participants. These actions were described by protesters and the opposition as unconstitutional and an overreach. For Bitcoin adherents, it illustrated the need for Bitcoin. Brad, Sunny and Kyle sit down against this backdrop. The three discuss how the Conservative Party — one most Canadians have never voted for — suddenly became the party of choice in the face of everything. It helps that PC leader Pierre Poilievre is a Bitcoin champion. What do all those events mean for the crypto pioneer? The three delve into that, as well as why you personally need Bitcoin, the space's scams, Elon Musk's promoting Dogecoin, Jack Dorsey quitting Twitter, and more. Below are some of the highlights of the conversation. #1. Securing Your Financial Future With BitcoinCovid 19 saw several countries opting to print more money to help keep their economies afloat. But printing more money is bad for the economy since it can trigger inflation. This rampant cash printing saw many corporates previously wary of touching Bitcoin shovelling money into the asset to derisk their finances. Brad reminds people of the importance of doing the same. He and Kyle emphasize the importance of not placing your financial future on whoever is elected.Brad remarks on Bitcoin being more a "productive protest" than a physical protest that the government will crack down on anyway. Sunny contends that Bitcoin needs only to continue existing to prove its importance in the face of such extremes by central banks. #2. Does Ethereum Have a Decentralization Problem?Many praises have been sung on Ethereum's transition from Proof of Work (PoW) validation model to Proof of Stake (PoW). Environmentalists are happy because it will reduce carbon emissions and sections of the cryptocurrency community welcome it because it takes off some of the weight of the environmental impact blame. But PoS allows only those with the means to become validators, making the network more centralized. Brad notes that the Bitcoin documentary "This Machine Greens'' recognizes that PoW can actually help us "to accelerate to renewable energy." As such, PoW is not the environmental threat it's claimed to be. #3. The Resilience of BitcoinThe trio deliberate on the rise of Web 3 products from DeFi to NFTs and whether that's stifling for Bitcoin. The answer is no, with Bitcoin being the "truth and the signal" à la Brad. Kyle likens Bitcoin to a rat for having everything thrown at it but still thriving. Also, the citizens of countries such as Nigeria, El Salvador and Venezuela aren't overly concerned with all these blockchain offshoots because their main concern is Bitcoin, which has a real difference to their lives.

The prospect of a fresh ban on cryptocurrencies in India has sent an army of crypto investors scrambling to think of ways to protect or liquidate their holdings. This, as the government appears to be in final stages of bringing in a new legislation governing Bitcoin and other such tokens in India. On Thursday, BloombergQuint reported that India will go ahead with a complete ban on investment in cryptocurrencies via domestic and foreign exchanges, after giving investors a transition period of three-to-six months. The full contents of proposed cryptocurrency bill are not in public domain. While there is no official data available, the three largest crypto-exchanges—WazirX, Unocoin and CoinDCX—claim that there are anywhere between 60 lakh to one crore cryptocurrency holders in the country with holdings of over Rs 10,000 crore. These crypto investors are looking at options ranging from ‘self-custody wallets' to transferring and selling their tokens. To be sure, provisions included in the upcoming legislation, once detailed, will eventually guide these choices. Option 1: Move Towards ‘Self-Custody' Wallets One option being explored by crypto investors is to move their holdings into ‘self-custody' wallets. This means that investors could either store their digital wealth in a hard wallet, which is a small digital device like a USB drive, microSD card or a smart card. This device stores the investor's private bitcoin key/s and can be locked away at a safe place or sent to a friend or relative. Some of the popular hardware wallets for storing bitcoins include Ledger, Trezor, SafePal and BitLox. Further, there are online self-custody wallet services provided by global firms such as Blockchain, Electrum and MetaMask, among others. Youtuber Aditya Singh, who runs a channel called ‘Crypto India', told BloombergQuint that many cryptocurrency investors have reached out with queries on how they could stash their digital tokens away from cryptocurrency exchange wallets. “There are multiple ways to do that (store cryptocurrency) but the easiest is to take the custody of your wallet,” said Singh. “Investors who are worried that it might be end of the road for cryptocurrency in India are shifting their virtual currencies from exchange custody to self-custody online or hardware wallets,” he said. However, there is a caveat. If a cryptocurrency is transferred via a wallet that exists on an Indian exchange, authorities can track it down if they want. Even as the blockchain system is decentralised, the know-your-customer norms followed by the country's exchanges require users to reveal their identity and that could be a way for authorities to trace it back to the person who holds cryptocurrency in the exchange's wallet,” said Singh. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
