August 20, 2021 NFTs
NFTs – people say they’re a fad, but that’s what they said about the Shake Weight! Maybe a bad example. Nevertheless, Kevin and Adam discuss this remarkably useful new technology (NFTs, not Shake Weights), including the ways it is already fulfilling the internet’s promise of allowing artists to not only quickly and easily create art and share it across the world but even – gasp! – get paid for it.

August 13, 2021 Stablecoins
They have "stable" in the name so you know they're boring, right? We thought so too! Actually turns out they're the entire future of the global financial system! Yeah – we're just as surprised as you are, but it's true. So it would probably be a good idea to know something about them – up to you, I'm just saying. Kevin and Adam cover them all, from the hopefully trustworthy to the definitely sketchy.

August 06, 2021 Summer of DeFi Part 6 – Everything we learned about DeFi this summer
It’s a sentimental farewell to the 80’s coming of age movie that has been Adam and Kevin’s summer journey to learn about DeFi… and themselves. Don’t you… forget about me… no, no, no, no more weird 80’s references, please, thank you. Anyway… we sum up with a comprehensive review of everything we’ve learned about DeFi so far. Flavors of DeFi protocols, blue chips, promising up and comers, risks, insurance options, stablecoin basics, tools to get started and resources for further reading. Our goal was to make the best 60-minute audio guide to getting started with DeFi and, well, we did it. Ready to start exploring DeFi? Welcome to the party, pal (ok – last 80’s reference).

July 30, 2021 Deflation
Behold! The power of Kevin Lum. While every other FinTech podcast is hand-wringing, beard-stroking and pearl-clutching about inflation, Kevin digs into his years of financial industry experience to offer a different perspective. This is why we call the show FutureFolio instead of PanicFolio. You're welcome.

July 22, 2021 DAOs
We'll skip the Buddhism puns and just get right to it: DAOs – distributed autonomous organizations. Business entities organized around a single smart contract on a blockchain. A meaningful new innovation in the history of the human business organization? Or just a more complicated way of administering the same business structures we've had for hundreds of years? Spoiler alert – the answer is... yes. Kevin and Adam discuss. Here’s this week’s It’s The End of the World As We Know It list – Coinbase, professional microphones (yay!), legal practice (boo!), Twitter, Henry IV, podcast motorcycle gangs, Jack Dorsey, Square, Bitcoin, DeFi, Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Cathie Wood, Ophir Gottleib, ThorChain, Cosmos, truth and justice, Alchemix, Ethereum, Cardano, Alonzo, Alfonso Ribeiro, Elon Musk, proof of work, proof of stake, corporations, LLCs, partnerships, Delaware, shareholder derivative suits, NFTs, Curve, Maker, political science, American voter turnout, inflation, deflation, the 60s.

July 01, 2021 Summer of DeFi Part 4 – Finally! The DeFi Part!
This week, a DeFi adventure story! Adam invests in the Pickle Finance Back Scratcher pSLP yvBOOST Pickle Farm! That is a lot of words and stuff. This one investment combines yields from Curve, Yearn, SushiSwap and Pickle – a veritable $5 foot-long of DeFi. Did it work? Does Adam know what he bought? Is there a reason why all these DeFi protocols sound like restaurants in a shopping mall food court? We report. You DeFi.

June 24, 2021 Summer of DeFi Part 3 — Summer of Ethereum
Our Summer of DeFi series continues with a deeper discussion on Ethereum’s coming-of-age saga. Hey – we've all been there. Getting bigger. Changing. Trying to figure out the best way to scale throughout while maintaining transactional security. It's just part of growing up. Feels like there's an 80's movie reference point here... Teen Wolf? Sixteen Candles? Say Anything? Maybe Ethereum is just a blockchain... standing in front of the internet... asking it to love it. Let's dig in.

June 16, 2021 Summer of DeFi Part 2 – Ethereum is growing up... aww...
Twitter: @futurefolio, @kevinlum, @kadambloom
Email: [email protected]
Does Ethereum seem... different... to you? It's bigger. It's faster. It's growing sidechains where it had no sidechains before... Yup, Ethereum is upgrading to Ethereum 2.0, the Beacon Chain, which means... blockchain puberty. Kevin and I talk through what will change, what it means for the Summer of DeFi, and why even though it seems scary, it's going to be ok. Get ready to feel happy, sad, and deeply confused, all at the same time!

Email: [email protected]
This week, Adam and Kevin get you ready for the Summer of DeFi, starting with: what is DeFi (decentralized finance)? How is it different from CeFi (centralized finance)? Yearning for a quick trip down the bonding curve? Then bring your laptop to the pool and fill your cooler with $ETH while we help you understand why Uniswap may be about to become your favorite unicorn.
