The Web3 Podcast

When it comes to the crypto markets, few people can claim to predict the future. On this episode, Callum is joined by two gentlemen who may be able to do just that.... AlgoDynamix is an innovative risk analytics company that detects disruptive events in global financial markets and anticipates price movements hours or days in advance of the event. They enable asset managers to preserve their assets under management and improve multiple portfolio metrics including lower volatility and higher returns.

Let's face it, Web3 is at an all time low. VCs aren't funding, HODLers aren't HODLing and BUIDLers... well, to be fair, they're still building. So, given we are Europe's premier Web3 podcast, we thought it only right to try and shine some sunlight on what is a stubbornly bearish market by showing some real world Web3 use cases. Callum is joined today by Simon Smith. Simon is the founder of Excalibur.fm and a sage on all things Web3. Links Callum on Twitter The Web3 Podcast Website Winefi on Twitter Winefi's Website

Since the birth of the internet, shady characters have been seeking to piggyback off well known brands by squatting on domains, creating phishing websites, and infringing upon trade marks and copyright.

On 11th November 2022, FTX, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, filed for bankruptcy. Overnight, CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (then a 30-year old billionaire) went from crypto's darling to public enemy number one. Bizarrely, 'SBF' (as Sam was universally known) made the somewhat dubious decision to live Tweet the collapse of his company.  In SBF's own words: W H A T H A P P E N E D. In an atmosphere of media and Twittersphere speculation, The Web3 Podcast brings back two of its most popular guests, Neal Rushton-King and Paddy Vance, to deep dive on what happened and what we can learn from it.

According to Chris (@castig), the core pillars of Web3 are decentralization, self-custody and building-in-public. Given many of us take those tenets for granted, isn't it weird that so much of Web3 community revolves around a centralized, privately owned and opaque platform like Discord? In this episode, Chris and Callum debate this topic and hint at what comes next... Chris' Recommendations  Take an improv class! Social Links 1. Chris on Twitter 2. Console on Twitter 3.
