Piers reconnects with mathematician Dr Ian Storey and pro investor Guy West over a glass of wine to update listeners on artificial intelligence's effects on markets and investing in AI. Are we seeing the start of an AI bubble, more about hype than a real threat to humanity? We discuss how hedge funds use machine learning and the need to regulate AI. We marvel at AI's astonishing mastery of language - humanity's operating system. We ponder current economic conditions and the inflation/deflation cycle. No doubt we are prejudiced against AI because of our mass exposure to scifi films over the past 50 years, but what of more ominous predictions?

Forces Behind the Markets: How to Read The Order Book

What if Bitcoin could generate yield — without giving up custody?

In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, Zorina sits down with Matthew Halfacre, founder of Half Acre Research, to explore his vision for a new kind of crypto asset: Codex, a tokenized system that uses algorithmic trading to create sustainable Bitcoin yield.

Matthew opens up about his journey from traditional markets to crypto, the philosophy behind keeping his fund small and client-focused, and his 2026 plan to list Codex (BTCY) on major exchanges. We also talk about the macroeconomic forces shaping the digital asset space, including CBDCs, Bitcoin vs XRP, and why algorithmic trading may offer an edge in today's volatile market.

If you're a serious crypto investor or just curious about where blockchain is heading, this one’s for you.
