  • Not about building smarter markets

    This podcast got lost a long time ago. It was supposed to be a buildup to the exchange launch and then that got delayed by 3+ years. David is a good host, but the podcast has been meandering aimlessly for years. Like a lot of podcasts they ran out of ideas and started recycling guests.

  • Promoting “hydrogen economy”

    I can’t believe how ignorant the guests on this carbon obsessed show are.

    I listen just to hear their doom and gloom, along with their useless carbon credit schemes and “green hydrogen” garbage.

    The fact most guests don’t even mention nuclear as a solution is a complete and total embarrassment to this podcast and its host.

Re-engineering Tokenization Episode 2 | Ian Forester, Head of Product, Abaxx Technologies
Q: What is public key, private key, cryptography, and how do we use it to create this new form of digital identity?
Public key, private key cryptography is a foundational concept that allows secure online communication by using two keys: a public key, which can be shared, and a private key, which is kept secret.
Re-engineering Tokenization Episode 1 | Josh Crumb, Founder & CEO, Abaxx Technologies + Ian Forester, Head of Product, Abaxx Technologies

Current approaches often overlook legal reconciliation and focus too much on ledger management, which is insufficient for institutional needs.
Re-engineering Tokenization Episode 1 | Josh Crumb, Founder & CEO, Abaxx Technologies + Ian Forester, Head of Product, Abaxx Technologies
Q: Do we have the technology now to accomplish that re-engineering, or is that something that has to be developed?
The cryptography is robust and can be relied upon, but it focuses on organizing how to apply it effectively within established legal frameworks.
