51: Amazon Documentaries are Rizqi | Calvin Tran


Listen Later

Alain and Jeff interview Calvin Tran, director of the Amazon documentary “Rizqi Presents: Blockchain.” In today’s episode we discuss:
- A lot of people still think cryptocurrency and blockchain are the same thing (why haven’t people gotten this by now?)
- How blockchain can dramatically stimulate developing economies by creating secure systems for real estate and land titles
- How Blockstack, a blockchain name system to replace DNS, aims to create a decentralized internet
- How alternative social networks end up getting filled with trolls and worse
- It is uncertain how well decentralized companies will compete against centralized organizations due to different incentive structures
- Blockchain gives us an option to directly control our money, but due complexity, people will usually default to using 3rd party systems.
- Putting your genome on the blockchain
- How to publish a documentary on Amazon
