In this episode, Mike Townsend speaks with Brenda Loya, the CEO and one of the founders of Tellor. She's an economist and a self-taught solidity developer. Previously, she was an economist and supervisor at the U.S. Department of Labor, developing and leading teams to develop statistical software for principal economic indicators. She joined the space initially by helping to develop a derivatives protocol, Daxia, which had an oracle problem. We couldn’t find one that was decentralized so we built one and it became Tellor!

Changes in technical breakthroughs and evolving skill needs are shaping the nature of the workplace of the future. While the pandemic did not fundamentally alter the way people cooperated, it did speed up the pace of change. This resulted in a faster adoption of the concept of remote work. With the world adjusting to a new life after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, how do we best utilize the tools that we have so that we can continue our levels of productivity even in remote working situations? In this episode, Alexander McCaig discusses this issue with Phil Simon, a keynote speaker, adviser, and Zoom and Slack educator. He is also the author of eleven non-fiction works, the most recent of which is Reimagining Collaboration: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and the Post-Covid World of Work. Adjustments in the Workplace According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of Americans working remotely more than doubled from around 30 percent to 60 percent in March 2020, and organizations began embracing new collaboration platforms such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom as part of the adjustment process as a result of this increase.&nbsp; At the start of 2020, few people would be familiar with the names of even one of these tools, much alone all of them. Several of us are now working remotely as a consequence of COVID-19, and Zoom has been so widely used that it has become a verb: to "Zoom" means to communicate using video conferencing technology. When businesses were forced to close and employees were required to wear masks, just a few&nbsp;businesses were allowed to continue operations as usual. The vast majority of people were entirely unprepared for the enormous changes that were about to take place in their lives. When it came to internal communication, they continued to rely on email as well as on typical corporate processes and attitudes. A New Age of Productivity To cope with COVID-19’s repercussions on corporate organizations, employers, human resource managers,&nbsp;and consultants were obliged to think creatively about how they might implement a remote work strategy. Businesses had an urgent need to alter these barriers in dealing with the international economic instability caused by the virus. If a shift to a new system is the path moving forward, what possible methods can businesses use to better utilize the tools that we currently have in this day and age? Phil Simon suggests that companies should start embracing the Hub-Spoke model of collaboration. This model&nbsp;is a technique of distribution wherein a centralized "hub" operates. From the hub, products are sent outward to smaller groups known as spokes for further storage and delivery. With this model, it aims to help firms significantly increase staff productivity, simplify current business procedures, and provide the basis for&nbsp;subsequent machine-learning and artificial intelligence advances. The hub may be thought of as a meta-organization that functions in parallel to established innovation laboratories. Employees at the innovation-hub can connect informally over the web and work freely on innovation to bolster the firm's performance. Out with the Old, In the New? Efficiency should not be dependent on one factor alone. While the hub-spokes model creates a more systematic approach in revamping business models to fit the current situation, it is best to have it hand-in-hand with tried and tested organizational techniques. By adopting particular initiatives and establishing a culture that supports their virtual workforce, executives may boost their teams' performance output and engagement. They must build and sustain a culture of trust, as well as modernize leadership communication methods and procedures in order to properly educate virtual personnel.&nbsp; Additionally, team members must be encouraged to share leadership. Finally, executives must establish and conduct frequent alignment checks to ensure that virtual workers adhere to the...

Unconfirmed: Why Astrologer Maren Altman Believes 2023 Will Bring an Innovative 'Cyber Pandemic' - Ep.293

Junk. It’s everywhere. From island-sized floating masses of garbage to the thousands of tons of space debris found in low orbit, mankind has left its permanent mark on planet Earth. As junk is generated as a byproduct of consumerism, the debris left behind by satellites, or the inefficient data-grabbing of companies; we are faced with mountains of waste every day. &nbsp; The question then is, how should we tackle this junk problem? Similarly, how should companies handle the acquisition and exchange of data? In the information age, the ever-increasing volume of data is proving to be a challenge within the data marketplace.&nbsp; &nbsp; In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby discuss human junk and its effect on our evolution. &nbsp; The Self-Destructive Situation of Our Space Debris &nbsp; There are a hundred million pieces of debris found in Earth’s low orbit. Each of those are only larger than a millimeter. That may sound harmless, but the environment is different in outer space. Up there, there’s barely any friction or gravity, which allows the individual pieces to speed up at around 17,500 miles per hour. &nbsp; And so, a tiny piece of junk floating around can cause large amounts of damage to any equipment unfortunate enough to get hit. A bigger yet obvious problem is the difficulty with which people can repair damages, as it’s hard to even reach the damaged equipment. &nbsp; As of the year 2020, there are currently 3,372 active satellites in orbit. Now, the US Regulatory has already permitted SpaceX from launching satellites, of which they plan to launch 42,000 of them. This will only increase the risk of important satellites and instruments from being damaged. &nbsp; The International Space Station has even had near-miss events because of space debris, which cements it as a real problem with real consequences. Obviously, this isn’t the problem of the ISS alone. &nbsp; Humanity’s Junk and Its Effects on Our Evolution &nbsp; Junk has become such a prevalent issue around the world, and yet we don’t even consider why it exists in the first place. We create plastic and other pollutants for commercial goods, without taking into account what happens to it after it is thrown away. &nbsp; Ever since humans have developed technology, we created this mentality of not caring about the aftermath of our actions. Which, in turn, has created all this junk and waste around us, which is hindering our evolution as a society. &nbsp; This isn’t to say that we are unaware of our predicament. However, the way we try and solve this problem is by simply going around the junk. For example, instead of trying to get rid of space debris, they instead designed better spacecraft to withstand the high-speed debris that crashes into our satellites. &nbsp; In addition to humanity’s indirect approach towards junk, our pre-existing systems are open and do not take into account the amount of waste that will inevitably get created. Because of the open systems that society has relied upon, we are continuously burying ourselves beneath our waste. &nbsp; As an example of society’s indirectness towards problems, picture this scenario. A child is left in their car seat as the parents go inside the store. The parents are reliant on the car’s system, that it will provide AC and therefore keep the child cool. However, what happens when the AC malfunctions? We could design a camera to observe, but that’s simply an indirect fix. &nbsp; Instead of simply going to the root of the problem and simply bringing the child along, the parents create complicated measures.&nbsp; &nbsp; TARTLE’s Mission to Eradicate Junk Data &nbsp; Junk is everywhere, and yet it is simply tolerated. Instead of finding roundabout ways to avoid junk, we should instead focus our efforts on it. Focusing on it gives humanity a deep understanding of the cause and effect of junk, and how we can eliminate it. &nbsp; Within the data marketplace, TARTLE is cleaning...

CACHE Money - Episode 2 - Severin Bühler

Es liegt in der Natur der Sache, dass Welten zunächst für sich entstehen, ehe sie sich aufeinander zubewegen, sich beschnuppern, kooperieren und um vielleicht irgendwann sogar verschmelzen. Auch die Kryptowelt steht an der Schwelle, ein Teil der Payment & Banking-Welt zu werden. So haben wir genau aus dem Grund am 18.11.2021 unsere erste CryptX als Veranstaltungsreihe aus der Taufe gehoben, um eine Konferenz an der Schnittstelle zwischen Krypto- und Finanzmarkt zu etablieren.

Viva la (R)evolution?

Was wir als wirklich innovative Anwendungen in der Zukunft sehen, ist nicht immer das, was wir auf Anhieb vermuten – genau, wie es bei anderen Innovationen in den letzten Jahrzehnten der Fall war. So ist etwa Linux kein Microsoft Killer geworden und dennoch weiterhin relevant und auch Open-Banking hat nicht die Retail-Banken überflüssig gemacht, sondern vor allem Prozesse beschleunigt und verändert. Was genau in fünf oder zehn Jahren sein wird, wo wir technologisch stehen, darüber können wir nur orakeln, aber es war von jeher unser Ansinnen unsere Events thematisch zukunftsorientiert auszurichten und demnach sind wir mehr und mehr davon überzeugt, dass das Thema und die Technologien, die wir heute in kleinen Teilen bereits sehen, bleiben werden.

Crypto wird künftig relevant sein in der Welt von Payments und Banking, davon sind wir überzeugt. Dabei wird nicht alles grundlegend anders werden, denn auch etablierte Player werden versuchen, einen Platz in der neuen Welt zu finden. Die Zeit ist gekommen, um die Mauern zwischen der etablierten Payment- und Banking- und der Kryptowelt einzureißen. Immer noch viel zu häufig wird zwischen den Vertretern beider Seiten dogmatisch diskutiert, statt die Bedürfnisse der Nutzer:innen in den Fokus zu stellen. Schluss damit! Sehr ähnliche Prozesse haben in der Payment-and-Banking-Welt schon einmal stattgefunden.

Die CryptX startete als gut besuchte 2G-Veranstaltung

Die thematische Lücke zu schließen, zwischen den heute oft noch sehr unterschiedlichen Welten und Ansätzen, den alten und neuen Prozessen, den Lösungen, die noch keiner gedacht hat, aber in Zukunft möglicherweise für uns alle Relevanz haben werden, das ist und war der Anspruch und die Motivation, den wir mit der CryptX am 18.11.2021 in Offenbach hatten. Wir wollten Verständnis schaffen und den offenen und fairen Austausch anregen und ermöglichen. Den Austausch zwischen echten Expertinnen und Experten aus der Welt der digitalen Assets und der Community die wir mit Payment & Banking seit mehr als zehn Jahren haben.  

Unserem Ruf sind letzte Woche gut 300 Menschen gefolgt und da wir das Events 2G+ angesetzt hatten, auch nach den höchst möglichen Sicherheits-und Hygienestandards mit gutem Gewissen in den alten Stahlbau, Fredenhagen, nach Offenbach gekommen.

Das waren die Themen über die wir gesprochen und diskutiert haben

Was sind die Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen digitalen Geldinitiativen wie Bitcoin, Diem, CBDCs und Co.? Die EZB arbeitet an einem blockchainbasierten digitalen Euro, was erwartet uns da? Wer kann davon profitieren oder gar seine aktuelle Marktposition verlieren? Ist die Blockchain-Technologie die geeignete technische Basis für die Realisierung von digitalen Wertpapieren? Welche Implikationen hat ein digitaler Euro für die deutsche und europäische Wirtschaft? Wie könnte eine schrittweise Umsetzung eines programmierbaren, digitalen Euros aussehen? Welche angemessenen Gesetze und Schutzmaßnahmen müssen implementiert werden, um den Anforderungen eines sich ständig verändernden Kryptomarktes gerecht zu werden? Wie sehen traditionelle Finanzinstitute den Vormarsch der Kryptowährungen und was bedeutet dies für die Annahme von Krypto-Assets? Welche echten Use Cases gibt es mittlerweile bei den Banken und in der Industrie, oder wurde hier schon wieder ein Trend verschlafen?

Die spannensten und interessantesten Aussagen haben wir euch als Highlight hier zusammengefasst.
