    Ep.10: Luzius Meisser and Yves Bennaïm – Swiss Democracy and the Bitcoin Public Initiative

    The Bitcoin Public Initiative is a direct democratic effort by Luzius Meisser and Yves Bennaïm for the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to include bitcoin in its reserves. Luzius is a board member of Bitcoin Suisse and Bitcoin Association of Switzerland as well as founder of Meisser Economics and Frankencoin. Yves is founder of 2B4CH, a think tank on bitcoin's impact on society, and part of the Swiss representation to ISO on standards for blockchain and DLT. Both guests lead The Bitcoin Public Initiative, embodying direct democracy in action and prompting discussion on the role of bitcoin as a global reserve asset, the actual energy consumption of bitcoin mining and a comparative look at monetary policy worldwide. This discussion was recorded before any details were released about the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. This is a uniquely relevant conversation in light of recent chatter about bitcoin as a reserve asset and not to be missed!  X (Twitter): https://x.com/syzthefuture Richard's X (Twitter): https://x.com/RichardByworth Find us on your favorite podcast channels: Youtube: https://youtube.com/@syzthefuture Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Cbky4e Fountain App: https://bit.ly/4e1ItAt Rumble: https://bit.ly/3R5dKp6   Instagram: https://instagram.com/syzthefuture Website: http://syzthefuture.com

    Ep.9: Jennifer Wines – What is Real Wealth?

    Jennifer Wines (https://x.com/jennifer__wines) is the Author of Invisible Wealth and a Certified Wealth Planning Advisor with novel insights into the evolution of wealth in our modern age. After many years spent at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Fidelity, she observed that clients were reconceptualizing their definition of wealth (largely in part due to the standstill caused by the pandemic) and it set her off on a journey to further explore this question thoroughly. The result was the book Invisible Wealth where she sets out a framework for understanding wealth throughout history and evolving trends today, as well as the historic generational shift in wealth that is currently ongoing. This discussion provides a moment for reflection and consideration on what it really means to build wealth with value and according to our values.

    Ep.8: Jason Box – Greenland in Focus: Climate, Conspiracy and Capital

    Geophysicist and glaciologist Professor Jason Box (https://x.com/climate_ice) joins Richard in the studio to discuss extreme weather, water security and the politics of it all. As a scientist, Dr. Box has spent 30 years in the field studying empirical data collecting quantitative metrics on ice, meltwater and other earth atmospheric measurements in Greenland, the Arctic Circle and throughout the world. Given the current fractured political climate, espousing any view, regardless of which side of the spectrum one might be positioned, can be controversial, however this episode takes a curious approach to observing conflicting stances, reexamining our preexisting models and beliefs and reassessing whether there might be potential paths forward out there. Please join us to thoughtfully consider whether today's capital decisions might be able to mitigate increasing concerns with food security, migrants, wildfires and other natural disasters.   X (Twitter): https://x.com/syzthefuture Richard's X (Twitter): https://x.com/RichardByworth    Find us on your favorite podcast channels: https://x.com/SyzTheFuture/status/1879488843042156753  Youtube: https://youtu.be/D_77tSCVop0 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Cbky4e Fountain App: https://bit.ly/4e1ItAt Rumble: https://bit.ly/3R5dKp6   Instagram: https://instagram.com/syzthefuture Website: http://syzthefuture.com

    Ep.5: Samson Mow – Convenience or Privacy: CBDCs, Digital IDs, an Upgrade?

    Samson Mow (https://x.com/Excellion) of JAN3 / ex-Blockstream fame, is a regular advisor to Nation States on integrating Bitcoin to manage sovereign debt and an accomplished gaming and tech entrepreneur. He discusses how his work with digital money and technology has come into contact with notions of privacy and freedom and how our love of more and more convenience may end up costing us more than we realize, especially with the emergence of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and Digital IDs. This conversation is surely one not to miss, touching on the increasing levels of surveillance across the world in the last decade enabled by the leaps in technological innovation and why we may wish to take pause when it comes to embracing the latest convenience.   Just around the same time of the recording this episode the UK announced implementation of its own Digital ID and rules called the Digital Identity Attributes Framework (DIAF), which is on a voluntary basis, for now - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-for-digital-identities-and-attributes. #privacy #freedomofspeech #money #state #surveillance #technology #CBDC #centralbankdigitalcurrency #freedom   X (Twitter): ⁠https://x.com/syzthefuture⁠ Richard's X (Twitter): ⁠https://x.com/RichardByworth⁠   Find us on your favorite podcast channels: Youtube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@syzthefuture⁠ Spotify: ⁠https://spoti.fi/3Cbky4e⁠ Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://apple.co/3YUmdV5⁠ Fountain App: ⁠https://bit.ly/4e1ItAt⁠   Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/syzthefuture⁠   Website: ⁠https://podcast.syzcapital.com⁠
