ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Why do we believe in money?
Listen to blockchain architect, computer engineer, cryptocurrency visionary and award-winning Arimaa board game inventor Omar Syed and I discuss the philosophy and future of cryptocurrency.
How did the online ledger system Bitcoin garner enough faith to reach over a 1 trillion USD market capitalization?
What arguments are there for using private cryptocurrencies rather than traditional public currencies?
Tune in as Omar and I discuss how money is a belief system - like a religion, how he’s trying to start his own “sect” called GETCoin, how blockchain technology helps the world in all kinds of ways unrelated to cryptocurrency, and how Omar invented a variant of chess called Arimaa after AI beat Gary Kasparov in chess... creating another battle of man -vs- machine where man could still win… for a time.
