Sygnum Bank’s Post

I was speaking with a friend back in July after Eoin Fitzgerald let me know he was leaving MoneyNeverSleeps, as I was thinking about shutting everything down. This friend said to me "No, Pete, that's crazy, just think of the amazing people that could co-host with you, like Mai Santamaria!" This week's episode is the output of that big idea, and Mai helped me find my missing link at the intersection of blockchain and AI - that's why I keep on doing this! We also covered: - Binance and CZ - what happens next? - Argentina's new president - another geo for crypto adoption, or just a cool haircut? - Vitalik's techno-optimism manifesto - Mai's mind-opening counterpoint on AI and humanity Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favorite podcast platform 👇👇👇 🎧Podfollow to Apple, Spotify, or web player:   https://lnkd.in/eZExgn7H 🎧MoneyNeverSleeps Website: https://lnkd.in/deWZxZk 📰 MoneyNeverSleeps Newsletter:  https://lnkd.in/eRTiXyU #fintech #blockchain #crypto #argentina #vitalik #AI #web3

Ever feel like you're stumbling around blindfolded in the chaotic crypto markets? On my latest podcast episode, we finally rip off that blindfold and go behind the curtain with someone who truly understands how to make sense of this disruptive new frontier. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Joe Vezzani CEO of LunarCrush a pioneering crypto insights and analytics firm. And let me tell you - this conversation was simply mind-blowing. The truth is, crypto trades 24/7 across the globe with little centralized reporting but imagine having a way to peer through the looking glass of blockchain data and uncover the real, fundamental drivers behind different digital assets and DeFi projects. No more gut feelings or chasing hype cycles...just pure, predictive signals derived from mapping on-chain activity, social intelligence, and investor behavior patterns. Joe pulled back the curtain on LunarCrush's approach to peering through the blockchain "looking glass." By processing massive amounts of on-chain data, social activity, and behavior patterns, they model the crypto dynamics and communities driving each project. Whether you're a crypto investor, trader, builder or just passionate about this new frontier of finance and tech, you'll want to tune in. Give the episode a listen and let me know what you think!

🚀 Unlocking the Future of DeFi: Intents and Solvers 🚀 In our latest podcast episode, we had the privilege of speaking with Nikita Ovchinnik, co-founder of @barterdefi, who delves into the revolutionary concept of intents and solvers in decentralized finance (DeFi). 🔍 What are #Intents and #Solvers? Nikita explains that intents represent user-defined goals or desired outcomes in a transaction. Solvers are mechanisms or protocols that interpret these intents and find the most efficient way to achieve them. This approach can drastically improve the user experience by automating complex processes and ensuring optimal results with minimal user input. 💡 Why It Matters: #️⃣ Efficiency: By streamlining the transaction process, intents and solvers can significantly reduce the time and effort required for users to achieve their financial goals. #️⃣ Security: Automating transactions through predefined intents can help minimize human error and enhance overall security. #️⃣ Scalability: This model supports scalable solutions, making it easier to handle a large volume of transactions seamlessly. 📈 Impact on the Future of DeFi: Nikita envisions that the integration of intents and solvers will not only simplify the user experience but also pave the way for more advanced and user-friendly DeFi applications. This could lead to broader adoption and a more robust decentralized financial ecosystem. 🎧 Tune In for More Insights: Don't miss out on this enlightening discussion with Nikita Ovchinnik! Listen to the full episode to gain deeper insights into how intents and solvers can revolutionize DeFi and the potential it holds for the future of decentralized finance. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gA_3Q9fi #DeFi #Blockchain #Innovation #Crypto #Finance #Podcast #FutureOfFinance #BarterDeFi

What separates a great conference speaker from a good one? Michael Amar is chairman of Paris Blockchain Week, the biggest crypto event in Europe - and shares some do's and don'ts on the latest Future of Money podcast. → Be personal Don't be afraid to talk about your background - it creates something people don't usually hear. → Be relevant Tapping into something newsworthy creates buzz. It gets the audience tweeting, and makes an impact. Michael’s right - and I have some tips of my own. → Be respectful Whether you're speaking to a crowd of 5, 50 or 500, every member of the audience is giving you their time. Take this responsibility seriously. Addressing a room full of people is a nerve-wracking experience - but for adrenaline junkies, there's no feeling like coming off stage after a successful talk. Following these three golden rules can have huge advantages. It can boost your business, unlock more speaking opportunities, and establish you as an authoritative voice in the industry. Paris Blockchain Week takes place from April 9-11, and I'll be among the speakers. I'd love for you to be there.
