Show highlights
- 19:32: “I think the thing about this technology layer is that it actually is not owned by anybody. And that’s very important when you have a shared public resource such as water which, you know, as mark Twain said in 1853 or whatever it was “whiskey’s for drinking, water is for fighting for.”
- 24:55: “When you really think about blockchain technology, it’s a governance technology that allows us to rethink the way we share value with each other. And it redesigns economic conceptual systems. And really at the heart of that, humans, hearing everything you’ve said and the hesitancy around blockchain, because it’s new.”
- 26:52: “I remember when I had the internet and it was a dial up modem and I thought this is insane, you know, apart from ICQ, what am I going to do with this? And I was a bit cynical too. Now I’d like to see me survive three days without internet. I’d go insane. It takes a bit of looking to the future.”
- 32:51: “Understanding the source of a product and tracking it through and not believing someone said they got it from somewhere because this is becoming more and more relevant. And there are so many examples. And the interesting thing, of course, is, and I keep banging on about it, this is going to be a right or a certification, or how do you manage these things? How do you sign on behalf of a producer in the field? “
- 40:37: “It’s about saying how this technology will make the system better and fairer, and you will be able to make more money because the counterparty risk is going to be removed between you and the buyer and the seller. So it’s actually catching the conversation in a world that they understand rather than coming in and down. I sound smart because I’m going to say the word blockchain 50 times and you might actually eventually believe me.”
- 41:17: “Why did VHS stump the beta? You remember the video? Why did VHS become the dominant instead of beta? It was the adult industry that actually realized that they could actually distribute content without a need without the big guys.”
