We discuss a variety of topics including Radkl, Bitcoin, global financial markets, zero-interest rates, generational shifts, and much more. We begin our conversation by discussing Bitcoin. We discuss the recent announcement by Greenpeace, BlackRock, and other institutions of their intentions to move BItcoin from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. We also discuss Bitcoin's role within the global landscape. We also discuss Biden’s executive order about crypto and the implications of possible regulation. The generational shifts within money markets and how that has impacted people's lives. We touch on the evolution of the perception of the banking system by discussing the differing perspectives various generations have towards banks and crypto. Ryan explains the impact of the Fed rates on retail consumers. Ryan goes on to discuss how the Fed thinks about monetary policy and how they implement those policies. Ryan breaks down Radkl’s role within crypto markets from providing liquidity to providing immediate risk transfer for institutions or people who have large orders. Our final discussion topic centered around how long will it take for Bitcoin to become self-evident within the mindshare of the populace.
