Zeitcast Broadcasting Collective
Zeitcast exists to capture stories of the young technologists who are grappling with the future and shaping it with intentionality. It’s a digital anthropology that reverses the gaze, and aims to articulate the hopes, fears, and dreams of our generation’s relationship with technology. Hosts Noah Putnam and Humphrey Obuobi along with a rotating crew of guests break down different cultural and technological questions every Friday and try to do the hard work of both exploring the problems inherent in these technologies while still looking for the opportunities they can bring to the world.
New Money, Old Problems
Noah and Humphrey chat with a few Zeitgeist community members, Patrick and Ivraj, about cryptocurrencies -- what differentiates them from traditional currencies, and the unlimited possibilities that are unlocked when money becomes native to the interactions on the internet. Patrick brings his years of experience writing about the future of technology at Mutable Matter (https://medium.com/mutable-matter) to neatly present some useful frameworks for thinking about how crypto changes the change; we also think through the risks of purely digital money, from enabling digital tontines to entrenching existing systems of power. If you're a young technologist, get involved with the Zeitgeist community! Discord: https://discord.gg/J5UvhCgmGe3 Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeitgeist_fm
