  • WTF Is Going On With FTX? 
    Nov 28 2022

     

    In this episode of Understanding Crypto, Paul and James tug the thread of the FTX saga, which is fast-becoming stranger than fiction! 

    THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY CRYPTO FOX MINERS CLUB
    https://www.cfmc.io/

    Sam Bankman-Fried also known by his initials SBF, is an American entrepreneur, investor and founder and former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, FTX.US and quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm Alameda Research.

    But his Wikipedia bio only tells some of the story as SBF might well have been the mastermind behind the world’s biggest ever pump and dump scheme (allegedly… feel like we write that for this episode!) 

    The FTX situation, which looks to have been a multi-BILLION dollar fraud has resulted in pretty much the whole financial world calling for regulations and protections to be put into place after a handful of key members of FTX (and their stakeholder partners) being able to collapse what was once the second biggest exchange by volume.

    Plus, via specific episodes of the podcast, Paul and James will actually pull back the iron curtain to share what on-chain projects they are involved with and document - in real time - the processes they grow and go through in order to make Web 3.0 as valuable for real-world real-time businesses and brands as possible.

  • Educating Your Audience with Ashton Barger
    Sep 15 2022
    In this episode of Understanding Crypto, James Burtt sits down with Zebu Digital's founder, Ashton Barger. Ashton has worked in the web3 industry for most of his career. He is currently focused on establishing innovative methods to assist brands and web-based businesses in developing IRL (in real life) activations, and bridging the gap between real-life activations and digital projects.   Making the Transition to web3 Ashton’s interest in bitcoin technology piqued in 2017 while he was a university student. He was particularly interested in alternative applications of blockchain technology outside of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, specifically use cases for supply chains for larger businesses as well as private and public blockchain applications. After graduating from university, he worked briefly at a marketing agency then left to get into blockchain full time. [Listen from 1:23]   James comments, "What you've been able to do is take this web3 digital world and make sure that it interlinks and intertwines with the real world." Ashton responds that real-world applications for web3 brands are important for reaching a larger cross section of consumers. It’s about making it easy for them to use and understand. He and James agree that new users need the right education, so that they would not be compelled to use Web 2.0-based solutions if more effective web3 technologies are available. Ashton encourages the companies he partners with to educate consumers about the transition from physical to digital through relatable examples. He thinks that the best course of action for organizations is to develop methods to reward their current real-world communities. "You've got to reward that community in a way that they actually want to be rewarded or that actually gives them genuine value," he says. [Listen from 8:12]   NFTs Done the Right Way: Zebu Live  In the Moonbird project, NFTs are merely a gateway to investment within the larger project. James believes the program has great promise as well as a practical, cutting-edge plan. He credits the project owner for the project’s prospective success. Entrepreneurs who have expertise in launching real-world firms usually produce fruitful web3 projects, he posits. Ashton agrees: “I think what you'll start to see in web3 spaces, is that the ones that are going to stay around are the ones that know how to run a business, know how to keep revenue,” he tells James.    He also supports a new start-up called Dancing SeaHorse, which is the title sponsor for his company's major annual event, Zebu Live which is a gathering of savvy brand builders and innovators. This group has been assisting businesses and developing experience in the music industry. Additionally, they have developed web3 spaces to bring music into the environment. They are now constructing a location on Hollywood Boulevard where NFT holders will have exclusive access. Community, functionality, and ownership are defining features of the web3 space and typically indicate a successful project, James remarks; he believes the project has potential. He and Ashton talk about the schedule for this year's Zebu Live conference. He is excited to chat with Steven Bartlett in particular. Additionally, he is eager to share his future plans for the area. Several keynote speakers' discussions will also share their vision for the web3 sector. James believes that the conference offers attendees a fantastic opportunity to interact with web3 technologists in the real world. [Listen from 19:25]   The Way Forward Ashton's business, ZEBU, is eager to expand their Zebu Live model and host various conferences in addition to their regular gatherings. They've already started making preparations for Zebu Live 2023. He is optimistic about the future and believes that they have just begun to explore the sector's full potential.   Key Takeaways: The right education is crucial to help brands bridge the knowledge gap between users' familiarity with Web 2.0 applications and the developing web3 industry.   Resources James Burtt on Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram | Clubhouse Paul Abercrombie on Website | Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram   Zebu Live Dancing Seahorse Moonbird
