The Crypto Ethic

It's been an extraordinary weekend in crypto and the wider banking sector (US-focussed) and because of that we have delayed our planned show for this week and Tansy (lead coach of The Crypto Ethic) made this short video to share a little bit of the news as it relates to the several bank collapses (focussing on Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank) and the run on USDC (a stable coin) that lost, for a time, it's $1 peg due to a high number of people trying to exchange their holdings of it (with many in the crypto space facing PTSD reminders of the Luna/UST collapse).

In this video Tansy and Anja return to chat about money being energy and how bitcoin is such a perfect articulation of this.   

This video was recorded early-on in our youtube journey and so we may seem a little younger and perhaps a little more nervous!

The Crypto Ethic’s Tansy and Anja return to chat about 'buying the dip' (buying 'low'): what this means, the challenges, the fears of missing out (FOMO), a strategy of dollar cost averaging (DCA), and the serious contemplation of whether or not to sell your mother for collateral in order to buy the dip ;)

This week The Crypto Ethics' Tansy and Anja chat with the beautiful Lucy McDowell a silicon valley tech marketer, crypto educator, NFT collector, and a mother with big dreams and a desire to make crypto more accessible for women. 

 Originally from Germany, Lucy now lives in the United States, and while working in silicon valley she discovered crypto and became curious about investing and so she dove further into the crypto World of coins and NFT's, however after becoming frustrated with the crypto 'bros' and a lack of women in the space she stated her business - Women X Crypto.     

In Lucy's own words "as I was growing my portfolio, learning, making mistakes, and celebrating my wins, I decided to share my knowledge and bring more women into the space by educating them about crypto in a safe and non-judgmental space."

In this episode Tansy & Anja (from The Crypto Ethic) discuss their thoughts around the recent World Economic Forum (WEF) gathering at Davos 2023 and how a deeply ingrained mentality of centralisation (that starts at the very top of the organisation), and the 'we know best what is right for you' power dynamics, continues to dictate the economic agenda for the World.  

Explainer: Every year the World Economic Forum (WEF) brings together powerful stakeholders, elites, various heads of state, central banking leads, the media and general rising members in society to Davos (Switzerland), in order to discuss key agenda's as they relate to the economy, the environment and the state of the World. This of course includes crypto, the metaverse, blockchain and the development of web3.  

The intention of the WEF is to take a front seat in highlighting key areas and solutions which, through the contributions of a range of global representatives and 'experts', they deem to be best for the future of the World.

This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Margot Paez, who is part of the Bitcoin Policy Institute and is a PhD candidate working on Climate Change modelling.

Margot speaks and writes extensively on the relationship between bitcoin, money and environmental sustainability.

A little written synopsis of this episode:

Our current global economic system contributes towards climate change and long-term environmental resource depletion due to the impacts of the over-distribution of fiat money (government-issued) which incentivises businesses to grow far beyond their means and fuel unsustainably high production/consumption demands, as well as to embed a lower time preference of money - i.e as our money depreciates over time it makes little sense to hold it in a bank and so populations are incentivised to spend it.

This overspending on the present not only leads to debt and future uncertainty but it directly contributes to the purchase of quantity over quality,  and the push to make purchases now - greater fuelling the unsustainable production/consumption cycle.  What is need is structural and financial change.  Bitcoin provides a way out of this unsustainable system, by having a built-in supply limit of 21 million bitcoin (released over time), the scarcity of it as a money contributes to it's value rising over time and in response creating a higher time preference around it (i.e people won't want to spend it arbitrarily as money itself will be intrinsically valuable - in similar ways to gold, if gold supply was limited).

In this conversation Margot Paez argues this perspective and alleges that moving to global bitcoin adoption will support environmental sustainability and create a better world for future generations, although she does take account of the immediate difficulty around the uncertainty of the bitcoin price as it is still in price discovery and is used as a tradable high risk asset by financial institutions and investors and so continues to fluctuate significantly.
