"A lot of ethical, if you will, or moral questions are being asked already. Most American companies promote American values and protect democracy, and things like freedom of speech. But for example in countries like Malaysia Facebook had a major problem with freedom of speech, because the First Amendment does not apply there."
A relaxed talk about startups, macro economics, blockchain, tech diplomacy, late stage ...
"At this stage, the conventional war is what we see. Conventional media as well. But what we have to handle now are the consequences of this situation. So as we know, the economy is at stake, but also the social cohesion in Europe. And it is true that it's a communication war, it's an opinion war."
An interesting conversation with Her Excellency Ms. Laurence Auer - French Ambassador to Romania about geopolit...
"...a lot of our systems are fundamentally based on the threat of violence. I'm not saying that people will not do horrible things, but now we have a system that is built on the idea of violence. Money, taxes, regulations, inflation, all of these things are imposed on you.
There's no contract, you have no saying in it, you cannot opt out. So if you disagree, there's always the threat of being thrown in jail ...
"Fake news and disinformation pose a threat to democracy. They pose a threat to the functioning of democratic institutions, which is something we've seen already. But more more serious than that, they attack the very essence of democracy. It is a very paradoxical thing, if I may put it that way."
An interesting conversation with His Excellency Mr. Doru Costea - Romanian Ambassador to China about geopolitics ...
"Most people don't beat the market. But that's exactly what you make with these individual bets. So if you want to buy individual stocks, I would consider that a medium risk.
How much you put in high risk is a personal choice, you can put zero in high risk and that's great or you can add 50% in high risk. And that also ends up being a very personal perspective.
Yeah, crypto's definitely high risk.&q...
"...most importantly, enable the curation when we are talking specifically about this area of NFTs. They are enabling the best out of people if they want to curate and to really help the fans achieve their own interest and purposes. So this could be a little bit of a paradox if we're talking about blockchain, about decentralisation and then here I come to say that this is how it should be done. I think that this could be ...
"So the point is that we have for the first time in the history of the humanity a system of storing and transferring value that cannot be controlled by anyone and that is very transparent, very easy to use, very easy to understand once you get it and that it's free. Basically the technology is free because if you look a little bit back, the first implementation of of blockchain was Bitcoin."
A great discussi...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
