A Consensus 2023 panel with Brett Harrison and Anthony Scaramucci.
The fast and hard fall of Sam Bankman-Fried's empire sent shockwaves through the global crypto markets and raised troubling questions about industry governance practices. A hedge fund manager whose firm invested in SBF's exchange (and vice versa) and the former president of FTX's U.S. arm candidly reflect on how it all went wrong, what they'd do differently, and how they are reengaging and working to build a better industry.
Tracy Wang, deputy managing editor of CoinDesk, moderates alongside panelists:
Brett Harrison, founder and CEO of Architect
Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital

MONEY REIMAGINED: Terraform Labs’ UST Stablecoin 'Broke the Buck'
Épisode 219
vendredi 13 mai 2022 • Durée 31:08
UST, the algorithmic stablecoin created by Terraform Labs, was de-pegged this week from the U.S. dollar.
UST's price initially dropped from a one-to-one U.S. dollar value to 60 cents and then fell further. The cause of the de-pegging is due to the sell-off in crypto and in financial markets. The price drop in UST highlights the risks associated with cryptocurrencies and their volatility, which further poses the question of when regulators will step in. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had a few remarks concerning the de-pegging and reaffirmed to the world that the Fed is watching.
Join “Money Reimagined” host Michael Caseywith Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, the lead manager of USDC, a prominent stablecoin backed by dollar-based liquid assets, and CoinDesk technology reporter Sam Kessler as they discuss this complicated issue of how the UST peg system is supposed to work and what really went wrong.
After UST lost its peg to the U.S. dollar, $1.5 million of bitcoin reserves was used to defend the peg. Is the underlying algorithm sufficient to keep the token at a stable rate of one dollar? What are the alternatives? Are there other models, collateralized models that would be more effective?
Allaire further explains on how the structure of Circles model may offer more stability and security to investors.

MONEY REIMAGINED: When Traditional Structures Don’t Work, Try a DAO
Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are enabling entrepreneurs to rapidly raise funding and reach global markets in countries where traditional structures might not be effective or even available.
Joining “Money Reimagined” hosts Sheila Warren and Michael Casey is Geoffrey See, founder of Choson Exchange, an organization training North Koreans in entrepreneurship, and chief DAOist at Poko, which focuses on replacing LLCs with DAOs in emerging markets. See joins to explain the unique value DAOs offer to entrepreneurs in frontier hubs worldwide.
See explains that an on-chain governance structure can offer stability and security to a newly founded company in ways that existing institutions might not and enable access to an enthusiastic global market of investors and customers. The question of regulation and when the regulatory tone might sway against this new corporate structure remains a challenge entrepreneurs must prepare for.

MONEY REIMAGINED:Diversity and Inclusion Shouldn’t Just Be Buzzwords
Épisode 217
vendredi 29 avril 2022 • Durée 41:13
Blockchains are systems of governance written into code, algorithms dictating how users behave. The question of who gets to develop these systems and these rules becomes immensely important.
Joining “Money Reimagined” hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are Susan Joseph, executive director of fintech at Cornell, and Cleve Mesidor, executive director of the Blockchain Foundation. The guests provide insights on why crypto is not yet a diverse industry and steps to improve access and education for all.
Crypto, with its innovations in financial technology, provides underbanked populations with better access. But even when these groups have access, they might not receive the same treatment as others. Crypto needs to incentivize inclusion, respect, inclusion and empowerment to improve the industry for all who partake in it.

OPINIONATED: Big Time for Small Miners
Épisode 216
jeudi 28 avril 2022 • Durée 20:09
Small-scale bitcoin mining – think machines whirring away in basements, eating up home electricity bills – have become more popular in recent weeks.
Colin Harper, head of content and research at Luxor Mining, joins “Opinionated” hosts Ben Schiller and Danny Nelson to explore why the mining community has recently gained a new cohort of at-home miners. The influx goes back to China’s mining ban and is influenced by the economics of a bear market, but Harper explains the less tangible factors drawing those to mining, including a sense of community and partaking in securing the network.

The tone in Washington has shifted over the past year, with lawmakers joining regulators in recognizing that the crypto industry should be taken seriously.
But how does Washington actually see crypto?
To answer this question, “Money Reimagined” host Sheila Warren is joined by two guests intimately familiar with the attitudes of Capitol Hill: Cory Gardner, former senator and representative from Colorado, and Niki Christoff, CEO of Washington-based strategic consultancy Christoff & Co. and host of the podcast “Tech’ed Up.”
The trio debate Washington’s perceptions of crypto, and how that perception might impact future policy decisions. The speed of innovation in the crypto industry is bound to create educational gaps for lawmakers, while policy lags even further behind. How can the crypto industry present itself in digestible and compelling ways for those in Washington?
