A Faster, Cheaper Way to Pay
For generations, credit cards have set the speed limit for digital payments made by consumers and businesses around the world. From metal “charge plates” used to run up a tab at a department store; to the Diner’s Club card, which created a groundbreaking, cross-business credit network for everyday purchases; to the rise of digital payments connecting all corners of the world… nothing has felt more frictionless than paying with credit.Until now. Because stablecoins (cryptocurrencies that are pegged to a fiat currency) are making digital payments faster and cheaper than they’ve ever been. And they’re changing what’s possible at every scale of our payments ecosystem — from an international corporation making B2B payments, to a small business selling artisanal tree pots, to a parent sending remittances to family members across borders.We’ll learn how the rise of the credit card changed consumer expectations of what it means to pay for goods and services. Then we’ll dive into the concrete uses of stablecoins that could signal a new revolution in the speed and ease of payments and open up new tools for growth and stability across the world.

#6: Financial Security and Mental Safety
#6: Financial Security and Mental Safety Prioritizing Individual Mental Models for Income Generation In this Entry, we are going to move on to the second layer of Maslow's Hierarchy. Now that we've covered the basics in Entries 1-5, let's continue on the path of self-actualization. The next layer of Maslow's hierarchy is security and safety needs. I generally associate this level with having a place to live and money to buy what I need (not want) in life. I need to be able to pay for food, debt, mortgage, and retirement savings. Having quit my job (see Entry #1), I know that I do not have the luxury of focusing solely on the base level of the Burnout Recovery pyramid, I also need to earn income. I want to earn income in a way that does not bring me back to a burnout phase like my last job. Additionally, I want to earn income while I am recovering from burnout. That is no small task. Welcome to the Recalibrating Podcast 🧭 ✨ Join me as I explore the depth of what the world has to offer. Learn to better life in every way possible, reflecting and recalibrating along the way to keep from getting too lost. Thanks for sharing the journey with me ✨ I hope that you enjoy this episode of Recalibrating, thanks for listening! Subscribe for free to receive new episodes and support my work. ABOUT ME My name is Callum, also known as wanderloots. I am an intellectual property lawyer, patent agent, blockchain specialist, photographer, animator, videographer, writer, and I studied engineering. I quit my job to pursue a life of creativity while teaching people along the way. The world is changing more rapidly than ever before. Learning how to deal with change and recalibrate is the best skill I can learn, and hopefully the best skill I can teach you ✨

Erik Voorhees' New Venture: Why AI Desperately Needs Privacy and Uncensorability
Erik Voorhees, a crypto OG, has launched Venice, a private, uncensorable, open-source competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, powered by a decentralized crypto network. In the episode, Erik and Venice’s COO Teana Baker-Taylor delve into the problems with censorship and data in current AI agents, including how they create honeypots of information about users’ search history for hackers, or that they can be absurdly politically correct, such as refusing to create images of Caucasian people. As they point out, there’s also the risk that the companies managing them could be censoring the models to please the Chinese government, in order to access the market in that country. They talk about their plan for Venice to gain market share, considering that DuckDuckGo, a privacy-preserving competitor to Google, has a much smaller market share. And they explain why they intend for Venice to eventually use the compute of Morpheus, or other decentralized crypto-powered compute networks. They also critique the SEC’s current regulatory approach to crypto, calling it “a joke.” Additionally, they explore the concept of AI agents using cryptocurrencies as their primary currency.
