ChainspottingCongratulations Bitcoiners: You Are The 1% NowBitcoiners are becoming the new financial elite.
In EP.7 of Chainspotting, I breakdown how the narrative around Bitcoin is shifting: and we are considered the new 1%. Bitcoin is beyond $100,000, ETFs are gobbling up everything, and big banks jumping in, which means the question is inevitable: are we witnessing the rise of a new privileged class?
Every week I read and review the top stories and narratives flying around Bitcoin and crypto.

He is also the creator of bitcoinerbooks.com, a website with lists and links to books recommended by certain bitcoiners.

We'd been meaning to talk for a while, so we used his recent piece as a reason to get tougher for chat.

Maturity Curve PodcastThe Future of Work in 2030Why will the business environment of the 2020s be more volatile and economic swings more extreme?
By the end of the 2020s, automation may eliminate 20% to 25% of current jobs, hitting middle- to low-income workers the hardest. As investments peak and then decline—probably around the end of the 2020s to the start of the 2030s—anemic demand growth is likely to constrain economic expansion, and global interest rates may again test zero percent.
Faced with market imbalances and growth-stifling levels of inequality, many societies may reset the government's role in the marketplace.

Maturity Curve PodcastA tale of two economies fuelled by technology.When you read about economics, you quickly learn the economy doesn’t care about your feelings, nor what you express in public. The forces that drive it are beyond any one person’s comprehension, much less control.
But at the same time, the economy doesn’t work like a law of nature. Unlike gravity, for instance, the economy responds to human choices and preferences. We influence it, yes - but we don’t understand exactly how.2019-10-3007 min

Maturity Curve PodcastDeath of a salesman (killed by AI)Rapidly improving prospecting tools and AI will change the BDR landscape, but predictions about the end of the BDR are incorrect.
Over the last handful of years, coinciding with the collective rise in all things Artificial Intelligence, blog posts, and podcast topics predicting the “end of the BDR” have grown louder and more frequent.
Like every profession, the BDR role has experienced consistent change since it cemented its place on sales floors in the early 2000s. But that change hasn’t resulted in a wholesale diminished BDR corps – this critical sales role hasn’t gone anywhere.2019-10-1713 min
Maturity Curve PodcastTechnocapitalism 2020: Why it's crucial for the next decade.It's an interesting paradox that some futurists are keen on seeing all kinds of technological advances happening in 2020, but at the same time promoting anti-capitalism. How can they call for another system, when that system is the only system that promotes innovation and rewards inventors? In this episode of the Maturity Curve podcast, I explain why techocapitalism is the only direction for 2020, if we are expected to continue this marvellous growth which ultimately benefits society as a whole. #technocapitalism #technocapitalist2019-10-1016 min
