  • "Is Facebook about to takeover banking?"...Libra Coin 101 - E90
    Summary:
    This week Francis and Jerome go over the Facebook backed Libra Cryptocurrency. With a large global userbase across Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, the announcement has caught the attention Regulators and Central Bank officials.
    Libra is going to be operated by the Libra Association which includes firm such as Uber, Lyft, Mastercard, Spotify, Coinbase etc. This is a separate entity to Facebook and will be based in Switzerland.
    One of the key points covered in the episode is who the coin is being aimed at, which are people in South America, Africa and Asia, who are considered “unbanked”, or put simply people who do not have access to modern banking and payments.
    Correction:
    Wallets don’t hold your cryptocurrency; they hold your private key which is the code you need to be able to access your cryptos.

  • "People Don't Understand the Value Of Money"... Universal Credit Part 2 - E89
    This week we were joined by one of out listeners Ayo to discuss her experiences as a working mother on Universal Credit (UC). She covers some of the challenges faced by people who claim, as well as some of the misconceptions.
    One of the main criticism of UC is that it incentivises people not to work, as the benefit paid is dramatically decreased for working people. We also touch on the question of how people who are on UC should budget and priorities spending.
    Thanks again to Ayo for coming down and sharing her experiences with us and please remember if we touch on something you would like to contribute to please get ion contact with us.
