In this episode Zubair Quraishi talks to David Sterling of Good

In this episode Zubair Quraishi talks to Spanish Entrepreneur Juan Gasca of TinDefi, a platform for investing in early stage crypto companies. Juan talks about how they are making investing simpler and safer for investors with an all-in-one service, and how his experience working in fraud detection helped to shape his vision.

Zubair Quraishi talks to the founders of Theia Finance, who are building a Kickstarter for the crypto world, a platform where creators can build and get investors for their projects. Theia Finance wants to go even further than Kickstarter by building a full stack company platform into their product. Theia Finance is still testing the system, but so far the response has been amazing, with nearly 20,000 people engaging with their platform and thousands of monthly users trying it out.  

They also have a novel method to prevent scams, by putting all invested money into an escrow account to stop people from shutting down projects as soon as they are funded. We talk about this, and a whole lot more such as the future of crypto. Join us for this amazing episode!

Zubair Quraishi talks to Noah Healy of Coordisc. Noah is a mathematician who has developed a new technique to provide high price stability for crypto markets by using Game theory to reward traders for predicting asset prices.   

An example of how this technique could make crypto exchanges more user friendly is to think about when you buy or sell a token on an exchange and it gives you a popup with a 5 second countdown timer in which you can accept or reject the trade. With Coordisc instead of seconds to accept a price, you will have potentially minutes or even hours.  

Zubair and Noah have a great discussion and also talk about the multi chain future of crypto. Enjoy the episode!!

Episode 15 - A journey from traditional to Crypto finance  

Recorded 17 may 2022.

In this episode of Castoshi, Zubair Quraishi talks to Martha Reyes, a former  emerging markets fund manager who now works at Bequant, a crypto OTC company that specialises in high frequency trading and crypto arbitrage.   

They discuss inflation in South America in the early 2000s and the following economic collapse, and how Martha sees the same warning signs today in developed countries. Martha also talks about how she transitioned from traditional finance to crypto, and how other traditional finance people are doing the same by starting to understand Defi and Smart Contracts. Zubair and Martha also discuss where the crypto markets are going.

Zubair Quraishi talks to Demian Klenk and Dan Hutter of 6C Index, a new platform aiming to be the Nasdaq of Environmental Assets. Initially they are just focusing on Carbon Assets, and intend to link real world Carbon Production to digital assets on the blockchain, with a twist. They want to not only link Carbon Production but also "Carbon Removal" as an asset. This means that there will be a healthy incentive to not only pollute the environment, but to clean it up as well.

This is a space which has recently started to gain attention since Adam Neuman, the founder of WeWork, recently announced that his latest startup, FlowCarbon is attempting a similar mission, but Demian and Dan believe that they are uniquely positioned to solve this problem since they have a background in finance, crypto, and the ESG industries.
