In this episode, we explore the grand European experiment that's been seventy years in the making—and why it's spectacularly failing to deliver on its promises. From the Draghi report's brutal diagnosis to the untapped potential of truly integrated markets, the conversation examines:

• Europe's €2 trillion competitiveness gap and the fragmented Single Market costing 10% of GDP
• Why one-third of European unicorns flee to America and no €100+ billion company has emerged from scratch in 50 years
• The MiCA regulation as Europe's first real shot at harmonized cross-border markets
• How transparent comparison platforms can weaponize information against corporate asymmetry
• The cryptocurrency exchange landscape as a testing ground for genuine European integration
• Why reducing information gaps between producers and consumers benefits everyone (except the grifters)
• The human-centered approach to technology in an age of algorithmic optimization

Bold, data-driven, and refreshingly honest about Europe's institutional failures, this episode argues that the continent's digital future might finally unlock what decades of political promises couldn't deliver. We're not just talking about crypto—we're exploring whether technology can succeed where politics has failed.

In this first audio-only episode, we dive headfirst into the swirling chaos of global change—technological upheaval, economic uncertainty, and the erosion of individual agency. From Nietzsche’s dancing star to the quiet rise of algorithmic control, the conversation explores:

• The shift from human labor to automation

• Accountability in corporations and government

• The paradox of executive pay and labor value

• How tariffs signal deeper economic and moral battles

• Why money is just a tool—and morality might be the real currency

• The individual’s place in a world tilting toward post-humanity

Thought-provoking, unapologetically philosophical, and layered with references from Smith to Nietzsche, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about the systems shaping our future. Are we witnessing the dawn of a new value order—or the sunset of the human era?
