Balaji Srinivasan: Bitcoin and the Search for Truth
The 50th edition of the “Money Reimagined” podcast features one of crypto’s most original thinkers: Balaji Srinivasan. Srinivasan is a former CTO of Coinbase, a former general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, and the founder of 21.co, earn.com, and various other startups. Srinivasan breaks down his arguments for why the future lies in trusting distributed “cryptographic truth” rather than the values of centralized news organizations.
And Just Like That, the US Has Become a Bitcoin Superpower
“Money Reimagined” explores the ramifications of a startling shift in the world’s top locations for bitcoin mining. The U.S. has leapt into first place and China, the world leader just a few months ago, now has essentially zero mining capacity following a regulatory crackdown there in June. Co-hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren talk to Justin Podhola, the CEO of Elite Mining, and George Kaloudis, who leads CoinDesk’s Bitcoin-focused research.
The Pandora Papers, Fed’s Leadership Crisis and the Future of Money
“Money Reimagined” dives into two bombshell news developments: the Pandora Papers investigation uncovering tax evasion by rich people to the tune of trillions of dollars, and reports of stock trading activity by Federal Reserve officials. Do such revelations further erode confidence in authorities and threaten global financial institutions? And if so, what comes next? Is it bitcoin? Stablecoins? Central bank digital currencies? Hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren sit down with Wall Street Journal reporter Michael S. Derby and crypto investor and entrepreneur Maya Zhehavi for this discussion.
A Year in Retrospect: From a DeFi Summer to the Explosive Growth of Bitcoin
In this special edition of “Money Reimagined,” co-hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren observe the first anniversary of their podcast by bringing back two memorable guests from last December: Raoul Pal, CEO and founder of Real Vision, and Jill Carlson, founder of the Open Money Initiative. Bitcoin as a speculative asset or bitcoin as a tool for the poor was one of the hot topics under debate at that time. Which was the most important development in crypto over the past year? Would El Salvador be better served by stablecoins rather than its Bitcoin law? The guests discuss these questions. Plus, the explosive growth of bitcoin and Ethereum, stablecoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more.
Lessons From the Canadian Model for a Crypto ETF
In this week’s episode of “Money Reimagined,” hosts Sheila Warren and Michael Casey dive into the world of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and their rocky history with U.S. regulatory bodies.
