This week's special guest is Annika Heart from Zug Switzerland. Annika is a co-founder of Cosmiq Universe, a transmedia business giving life to avatar-driven story worlds. CU is creating virtual ambassadors serving planet earth with awareness and compassion for humanity and is inspiring millions of humans to reconnect to nature and our true human potential. CU believes that we are energy and consciousness and that our essence is love. Their avatars are emotional, collective, swarm intelligences that are active in social life community, through music production, NFT's, movies, global light shows, public events and Ai. In this conversation we explore ways of overcoming personal fear and anxiety and the possibility of consciousness existing within Ai. Annika teaches us why it's important for high-frequency humans to consciously harness these current technologies to help cultivate a better world. We discuss Ai in the sense of it being a living entity, akin to a growing/ learning child, and how we humans are its collective parents who are leading by example. Annika offers practical ways in which to engage with this technology to cultivate a positive relationship with this rapidly evolving entity as it learns mirrors our own behavior. In addition to the Aya Stellar Web3 project details, we also discuss an exciting new product that Annika's team is getting ready to release, that will make the sacred Amanita muscaria mushroom available in a liquid form that can be used daily for some fascinating benefits. We had an absolute blast learning from Annika and we hope you enjoy this first of many future episodes together. Blessings frens!

Why We Need A Blockchain Bill The answer is simple: We want to lead the world, not fall behind.   Once we put the same legal weight behind blockchain technology we long ago did behind paper and 'wet signatures' we can help lead the world  ...replace many of our digital (banking, payments and other) slow toll-roads with far faster highways shrinking times from days to seconds (3 to 30 days through a bank network to 3 seconds on the Ripple network – that’s between 86,400 & 864,000 times faster, so let call it a round 100k times). With a similar reduction in costs, because there are no people involved once the network’s running. This doesn’t just make things a hundred thousand times faster and cheaper, removal of friction on this level makes possible all sorts of things that were completely non-starters before. On top of all that it makes possible a whole list of things proven impossible (at any scale) before. From micropayments to fractionalisation of assets, decoupling ownership from use of an asset (including houses, cars, art, goods in transit... to name a few) releasing trillions in value currently locked away. Which is why nimbler jurisdictions, Zug Switzerland, Singapore and Malta spring to mind, are leapfrogging the UK. Its why Liechtenstein have a Blockchain Act. This really matters Professor Bill Buchanan OBE, of Edinburgh’s Napier University explained to me - and why he’s launched a petition to parliament saying so. It matters because it means jobs and future prosperity. As well as losing our place in the world versus helping lead it. This is why you should sign the petition. Britain needs a Blockchain enabling bill. Please search for and sign UK petition 230869!

There might be something special about Switzerland that attracts so many blockchain startups to the country. During 2017, Swiss-based ICOs raised about $550 million in funding, which was about 14 percent of the global ICO market. Zug Switzerland is known as "Crypto Valley" and home to over 50 blockchain startups despite its small population of less than 30000 people. Davos Switzerland is renowned for hosting the World Economic Forum each year, and this year for the first time there was a really strong crypto presence there thanks to the team from DecentraNet. I visited Davos and Poschiavo, and chatted to some of the people working in blockchain about why Switzerland might be good for the blockchain industry.

Zug, Switzerland July 24, 2015 I’m sitting here on a park bench with my friend and colleague Johann Gevers overlooking an absolutely serene lake in Zug, Switzerland. With the elegant and imposing mountains behind, it’s as quintessentially Swiss as you can get. Johann is the founder of Monetas, an advanced digital transaction platform that could dramatically change the way people do business around the world Monetas is a ‘cryptofinance’ company-- part of the new generation of technology firms that has set its sights on revolutionizing finance. This goes way beyond Bitcoin. The world of finance as we know it is highly centralized. Anytime you buy a Starbucks coffee or pay your electric bill, the funds pass through a heavily congested financial highway that is exclusively controlled by the banks. All the money is funneled through their system. It’s expensive. Inefficient. And incredibly outdated. Think about an international wire transfer—the funds flow from one bank, to a larger bank, to an even larger bank (typically in New York), and back down to smaller banks on the receiving end. And everyone takes a fee along the way. This is ridiculous in 2015. The technology already exists to eliminate all of the middle men and allow transactions to pass directly between a buyer and seller. These companies are game changers. And in Johann’s case, he deliberately selected this picturesque valley in Switzerland as the place to base his company. In Johann’s assessment, Switzerland still presents the most stable, credible, freest place in the world to run a business, especially something that could really disrupt finance. And he’s working hard to bring even more cryptofinance companies here to Zug—a vision he calls “Crypto Valley”. If you listen to his story, it really makes sense. Economic freedom. Low taxes. Friendly, cooperative government. And the lifestyle really is incredibly idyllic. I invite you to join Johann and I today as we discuss some of the unique and inviting features of Switzerland... and the future of finance.
