If we look at now, we’ve developed a really interesting piece of middleware because the problem is when you’ve got lots of disparate markets, even if they get a digital moving assets between those markets, so where those assets are held on the custody at those markets or elsewhere is incredibly difficult.

Decentralized finance, or DeFi (also called open finance), is a blanket term for financial services like borrowing, lending, and trading built using decentralized infrastructure, such as public blockchains and smart contracts.
Why Decentralization Allows More People to Innovate – Matt Ridley, Author of ‘The Rational Optimist’
This is an episode of The Pomp Podcast with host Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano and guest, Matt Ridley, a British journalist and businessman. He is best known for his writings on science, the environment, and economics, including The Rational Optimist and his new book, How Innovation Works. In this conversation, we discuss how prosperity evolves, why optimism is important, the difference between innovation and invention, how innovation is bottoms up, why China has been so innovative, and the future of stateless innovation.
Is 100% Decentralization Best? Bitcoin’s Fail. The Future of Interconnected Blockchains.
Decentralization is purely a means to the end goal of immutability. Decentralization is not the end in itself, and there’s a lot of people out there who I feel have been misled into thinking that decentralization is the end goal in and of itself, and anything that has 80% decentralization versus 100% decentralization is a “shitcoin”, when in my opinion that’s simply not the case. I would much rather have high throughput, high features, high transactional capacity, low fees and immutability and censorship resistance with a middle-ground of enough decentralization to make that possible, versus the ridiculous notion of “must have 100% decentralization. Must be able to run 1MB blocks on Raspberry Pi nodes, on laptops built in 1990, so that we can have 100% decentralization—oh, but we can only do 4 transactions per second” and yes, I’m talking about Bitcoin. And that’s essentially the mindset of Bitcoin and that’s again why I feel very strongly that that’s a flawed mindset.

Decentralization and Privacy are more important than ever!
As our lives get further thrust into the digital realm, what we need more than ever is robust digital security to protect the increased activity we’re doing online. Unfortunately, we’re actually going backwards. Surveillance has become normalized, and people were never given the opportunity to opt in to this increased tracking. This is what Adam Back, Blockstream CEO, said in an interview with me at the Satoshi Roundtable earlier this year. Unfortunately the internet is not nearly private enough, and not nearly decentralized enough. To help solve this, his company built a Satellite that gives people more privacy for their bitcoin transactions and also helps freedom of speech. Adam and I discuss how the Satellite works, why it’s important, and whether it is possible to take back control of the internet and try to preserve some private space in our digital lives.
The Blockchain Series: Episode 4 – Blockchain as Democracy
In understanding democracy, and how we might improve it, Democracy.Earth founder Santiago Siri is developing an entire digital ecosystem meant to update our global political systems—and it’s powered by the blockchain. We meet up, talk about how it all works, then get to see what could be the future of governments for ourselves.
