On this episode of BlockChannel, McKie and Dr. Petty have a nice long discussion on the future of humanity with Vinay Gupta, CEO and Co-Founder of Mattereum. His firm (after having successfully assisting in launching Ethereum) is building a way to merge legal, real-world contracts, with on-chain smart contracts on Ethereum. His belief is that the digitization of tangible resources will be pivotal in solving some of humanity’s hardest problems — especially those in relation to climate change and resource scarcity. This one is a tad longer than usual, but we couldn’t just tell Vinay to stop talking, his words were too important. It’s a very educational episode — grab a coffee.
