“Learn to do good; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” Isaiah 1:17 is one of many verses in the Bible about justice and protecting the most vulnerable. But did you know that the ‘business’ of labor slavery has a massive footprint around the globe and is about a 150 billion dollar a year industry? It directly impacts about 25 million people, half of the estimated 50 million people who are enslaved around the world. Jeff Hancock, International Justice Mission’s Director of Church Mobilization, joins Greg Leith on the Convene Podcast to give us an eye-opening perspective on justice, the ‘justice gap’, slavery, injustice, the work of restoration, and what it means to us as business owners.

Zubair Quraishi talks about recent news events with Jeff Hancock of CoinPass. Jeff is a former security expert so he really knows his stuff. They talk about the fallout from the Celcius, 3AC, and Voyager bankruptcies, and where the Yield comes from with a lot of these black box crypto companies. They also discuss what you need to learn in crypto in order to be a good trader, from understanding crypto transactions to using MetaMask. They also talk about the Ethereum Merge and the 5 stages: “The Merge,” “The Surge,” “The Verge,” “The Purge,” and, “The Splurge” Lastly, they discuss Fireblocks and the role of stablecoins and whether there is a need for a GBP stable coin. Enjoy the episode! Show timeline: 00:00 Introduction by Zubair to Jeff Hancock of CoinPass 03:00 We discuss the fallout from the Celsius, Voyager, and 3AC Crypto bankruptcies - Jeff talks about how there could be more bad news to come, and how the crypto industry has a bad image in 2022. We discuss about how these companies are examples of black box companies which means that they are not transparent. We talk about how these companies lend money to each other and how the crypto markets really work internally. We go further into what need to know to trade crypto such as knowledge of how transactions, block explorers and Metamask. 13:12 We discuss NFTs and cross chain solutions. When your taxi drivers tells you to buy bitcoin, or your plumber launches an NFT collection maybe it is time to get out of the NFT market! Use cases for NFTs like ticketing like holding up a mobile phone to get access to a physical location may make sense. Access via NFTs and mobile phone to Crypto club in London is one such club. NFT tickets will also be used in football and sports tickets as they are harder to fake. 24:21 Ethereum Merge and the 5 stages: “The Merge,” “The Surge,” “The Verge,” “The Purge,” and, “The Splurge” . The background is that Eth was the first smart contract platform and tries to stay backward compatible. Eth is overloaded and expensive, and progress has been slow which has allowed faster and cheaper Eth compatible chains like Fantom, Polygon to get market share. Also it has allowed non eth compatible chains like Solana to gain traction. Could existing Eth miners move to bitcoin. How we think about layer 2s will change, as it will be important to have assets that work across multiple chains , without the hacks occurring on bridges 29:40 The future of Web3/Defi and big tech chains like Google Chain, Microsoft Chain, and where the crypto nodes actually live today, on big tech cloud provider chains. How Metamask is a big single point of failure, and we need to move permission based systems. How Government ID shops may come about, much like mobile phone shops of today. It could be the post office which performs government functions like driving licenses in UK today, and has taken over post office duties too. How restoring access to crypto wallets is an unsolved problem in crypto. But offline restoration is still not very secure. 37:02 Uniswap and institutional pools for the enterprise. Centralised and non decentralised options will both be available 39:18 A discussion about what is Fireblocks, it has become a standard system for trading crypto for teams. They have many enterprise features for policies and security. 41:15 Using crytp to move from quarterley financial staements to real time financial views. This has many advantages for financial reporting 42:50 Discussing stablecoins and the need for a GBP based stablecoin, mainly because USD via USDC and USDC is used as a standard currency even in the UK. Also how the USD is getting stronger, instead of becoming worth less as many people feared would happen.

This week, Tony is joined by Jeff Hancock, a crypto expert, and co-founder and CEO of Coinpass, one of the UK's fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange and investment platforms. Jeff talks to Tony about his business journey, Coinpass as a platform, and how you can invest in cryptocurrency in a safe and secure way. KEY TAKEAWAYS The world of cryptocurrency has changed dramatically. The UI involved is becoming far simpler to navigate, and risks can be mitigated if guidance is followed. Crypto services can stand out to their client base through customer service. Providing real time human interaction is a true differentiator. People want to feel supported at all times. A crypto wallet contains a public address, which is like a card number in the real world. A private key is also attached, which is akin to the lesser-known details required in order to make transactions of any kind.

Zoom, Facebook, group text messages: This past year, technology has sometimes felt like the glue that’s kept many of our relationships alive. More and more, we talk to each other with technology in between us. Jeff Hancock, PhD, director of the Social Media Lab at Stanford University, discusses how this is affecting human communication, including whether people are more likely to lie online, whether the versions of ourselves that we present on social media are authentic, how artificial intelligence infiltrates our text messages, why video calls exhaust us more than in-person conversations, and more.

“Psychology trumps technology,” says Jeff Hancock , founding director of the Stanford Social Media Lab and professor in the Department of Communication at Stanford. “If you want to understand what's going on in social media, the first place to start is with what's going on psychologically.” On the latest episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart , lecturer and podcast host Matt Abrahams sits down with Professor Hancock, to talk about the communication tendencies, styles, and mistakes of social media users. “Whenever there's a new kind of technology ... our focus is on what it's doing,” Professor Hancock says. “But I think over time what we end up realizing is that it's still people using it to accomplish things. And I think when we start to when we step back … we can get a sense of what really is changing.” Connect: Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart Premium Email Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.io Episode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart Website Newsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.io Think Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn , Instagram , YouTube Matt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn ******** Thank you to our sponsors.
