‘’If you think the emperor has no clothes on, it’s probably true. Develop an attitude of questioning things”

Blockchain technology has potential to transform society. It’s described as ‘the trust machine’ – an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value. 

Some examples of its applications include: making your digital identity more secure, decentralising data storage, facilitating secure e-voting and even completely changing organisational structures. 

The guest for this episode is Kary Bheemaiah. Kary is a researcher, lecturer, writer, technology consultant based in Paris. 

Kary has recently published a book, ‘The Blockchain Alternative: Rethinking Macroeconomic Policy and Economic Theory’ that explores the macroeconomic implications of the blockchain. 

His other writings have been published in WIRED, Harvard Business Review, and Les Echos among others.

He is currently the head of research at Uchange.co, a mentor at StartupBootCamp, a Research Associate with Cambridge University and a visiting lecturer at ESCP and GEM.

Topics covered in this conversation include: complexity economics, generalism, the blockchain (duh) and fractional banking.
