You wanna have some staying power, and demonstrate that you can commit to one thing for some period of time, but you should do what's interesting to you. And the way I always thought about different opportunities as they came was especially early in your career, is like, does it open more doors. Than it closes? So if I do this thing, if I take advantage of this opportunity, what are the doors that will be open to me afterward and are there more doors open to me now than there would have been had I not taken this job, or had I taken a different job or a different opportunity?
So I always sort of thinking about the job after the job. I also have a very good friend who thinks about it slightly differently, but I think it's a valuable framework as well. He's always approached his jobs is what are the skills I wanna acquire if I have a long-term vision, like a year vision.
What skills do I need to get to the 10 year vision, and how do I then find opportunities that will add those skills to my profile if you're organized enough to have the tenure vision which I never was. I think that's also a very effective framework. But for me it was dope more doors than it closes. That means, does it expand my network does it add to my skill set? Is it fun and interesting, and do I think there can be lots of other things that I could do for me.
Yeah, I think especially a lot of us are beginning to launch or relaunch our careers after graduate school, so that's really helpful thinking about skills and opportunities, especially surrounding FinTech which I think is a huge draw will why a lot of us came to here you speak tonight. We all know, FinTech such a hot topic, it's new, but there are a lot of unknowns.
Where would you recommend we start interested in pursuing a career like yours? Because when I started looking at this several years ago, people were like It's a fad, it's not a thing, isn't an ATM. FinTech and I was like, "Well yeah, I guess technically, but like No, it's not what we're talking about now.
I think it has much more validity and staying power so much so that you hear people saying, "Well it's not really FinTech isn't it? Now, just financial services, the two are so interwoven. It's a big area financial services. Part of the reason why I like financial services, is it touches everything, there's nothing you can do in the economy, there's no industry, you can pick that doesn't touch financial services somewhere.
So if you think about FinTech, you definitely by impacting financial services, you then have the power to impact all kinds of other things, whether it's sustainability and renewable energy me financial inclusion manufacturing, whatever your thing is, it touches financial services somewhere. So I think part of the way to approach FinTech is - Is there a narrow slice of financial services that interest you, right? Are you into asset management, do you like banking, or payments or is there some other industry that is in financial services per se, but you can see the hook as to where something in the financial services space, could make that industry better?
So part of the way to approach it is just, is there something I'm interested in or a few things you're interested in and how do you learn as much as you can? Are there courses you could take? Who do you follow on Twitter? Are there newsletters you can get, right? I always hesitate to recommend books to people because by the time somebody writes a book on technology, right, it's like out of date by the time it gets published, generally, but I keep a list of people I follow on Twitter and newsletters, weekly or daily newsletters that I like to read to.
The quickest way to get up to speed is to just dive in. And then like any area, you start to talk to your colleagues, you start to talk to experts in the field, you start to read more, stop and slowly but surely you build up this interest and expertise about a topic before you know what you're off to the races.
Yeah, so which issue, which kind of joining industry kind of grip to you and pull you into FinTech? I'm like that nerd but for the reason I described So for me, it was the fact that financial services in some way is a utility. It touches everything. It's the foundation that interested me. What in some ways the same reason I went to law school, I was like, I wanted to learn the rules of the road.
I wanna understand how governments work. And then I went to be school 'cause I was like Well, now I wanna understand on how business works, like what are the rules of the road, and then how do I build from there? Lately I've been sort of gravitating towards FinTech and sustainability, right? And what are the ways Financial Services can help us think about environmental issues? But I do stuff in payments, in banking.
We have this project on financial inclusion with the Gates Foundation. I sit on the board of the Financial Health Network which is less about inclusion but more about financial health. So how do you make sure people have resilient financial lives? So for me, I'm always interested in shiny objects.
So there's lots of issue areas and subject matter of topics that I'm interested in all the time. I would say one of the things in being successful generally, a couple of things. One, I would say you need to establish what lawyers call a jurisdictional hook. You need the thing that you're an expert in even if you wanna be nimble and a generalist and play in lots of different fields, you need to establish yourself as very good at one thing. Generally, first, right? For me it was derivatives.
Not because I came out of law school and knew anything about derivatives. I was practicing law and much of the same way you take a professor in school and not a class always. I was interested in working with this partner because our working styles were very similar. He happened to be the head of the derivatives group. Hence, I developed an expertise in derivatives and there's very little that I've done with the rest of my career that's related to derivative, but I established myself as a credible person who could learn fast, who could work well, who could advise clients, who could identify trends and that skill set became transferable to all kinds of other things.
So I think one piece of advice I would give people is like, "What's your jurisdictional hook? And then from there, you can do lots of different things, and the more times you do that, the more nimble in some ways you can be. So I became an expert in derivatives and derivatives law and regulation, and then I went to Treasury and was doing cyber security, and sanctions, but now the people around me in my network know that I'm good at getting up to speed on things quickly.
That I can size up different issues, that I can execute on things so then people are more apt to let you do things that are different from maybe your original, original path. So it's always: get smart on something work hard produce excellent work product. And I know it seems sort of cliche to be like work hard to be good at what you do, but in some ways like life is sort of that That's simple. And the other thing I would say is, you guys know this 'cause you're B school, right?
Networks are so, so important. We were talking earlier with a group of students about cover letters, right? And resumes are You guys are all for you, do resume drops you do interviews. But I think aside from my first job at a law firm, which is a very young rote recruiting process, I haven't really applied for a job ever. So I think maintaining that network and thinking strategically about the people around you is also a very important thing to do.
Like building a reputation of someone who learns quickly, and then building advocates for yourself as well. It's easy to think that because people aren't coming to you and giving you a pat on the back for a job well done that they're not noticing or if they're not coming to you in scolding you for leaving work early or for cutting corners that they don't notice, people always notice they notice the good, and they notice the bat and just because they don't point it out, to you doesn't mean it hasn't resonated for them.
So part of the way to develop a good reputation is to just. It sounds paranoid. I don't mean say you should be paranoid but you should be a little paranoid that people there are always watching and when you do go to work, and when you go the extra mile and you come in early and you stay late even if people aren't giving you the atta girl or atta boy, as a result they notice and they will give you opportunities as a result.
This is a fad, this is not gonna be a thing. Everything has tech at the end of it. But I felt strongly and I had been in the industry long enough to know that it was gonna change, that it was right for disruption. I had witnessed the financial crisis first hand. People forget the iPhone was just becoming popular, really popular at about at the same time as the financial crisis. So, you have mobile technologies coming along very quickly a large distrust in financial institutions, millennials are starting to come of age.
All of this collides at one. Of course, things were gonna change but part of what enabled me to be on the front of that wave was despite people telling me that FinTech was a fad or this wasn't gonna be a thing was just realizing for myself and I could've been wrong like I just as easily could have been wrong, but I had developed enough expertise to sort of identify what was gonna happen, among other people.
I have a law degree and do the MBA. And I tend to think that most people that tell you that they planned everything from the very beginning are fibbing is the PC term I will use. They're fibbing. I will say for me, and I don't remember if I was in the law school or I was already sort of adulting. The crux of, which was the people who are best equipped to solve the hardest problems are people that have experience in the public sector, the private sector, and the philanthropic sector.
And I sort of thought about that a little bit differently, which is, as my career sort of evolved is like, "Well I've done financial services in New York now, I've done policy in DC. But I think what the take-away for me from the HBR article is And my career is like if you are interested in lots of different things or different sides of the same industry, the ability to translate, to be in business and talk to policy makers or to be a policy maker and talk to business or be a lawyer and talk to the Corp comms group at a client… the ability to do that translation and do it credibly for me has always been an important skill.
Now it's not important to everybody. Some people are like I wanna be the best lawyer, I can be and And that's fine, and valid. My attention span was just always too short for that, to be frank, and I liked the idea of being able to play in a lot of different arenas and have credibility in them. So there was no grand plan about marrying these things together.
But I do think it's I had a ultimately, hopefully it's not all over for me yet, but I do think it's resulted in a sort of unique skill set in space, that's allowed me to do fun things. Do you mind sharing a little bit more about your project with the financial inclusion? The basic crux of which is if you were gonna remake a central bank, right? Like the Fed or really any financial regulator so that financial inclusion was at the core of the remit. How would you change it, right?
How would you remake the feds or that financial inclusion was a core part of what they do as opposed to And we also do IT, and the nice to have. And how would you use technology to do that? So they gave us a grant. The project's a two-year project, where we talk with informers from all over the world with technologist, and futurist bankers to think about, if you could remake the Fed or the Central Bank of Kenya or whoever so that financial inclusion was at the core, what would you do and how would technology help that?
So we talk a lot about Central Bank digital currency which is obviously a very hot topic we talk about what if the central bank or a financial regulator was the arbiter of identification because identification is so core to what you can do in financial services. What if there were more women as Central Bank governors would that make a difference, right? How would the mandate change such that financial inclusion could be more steadily advanced around the world? So we're about halfway through the two-year project.
Hard to believe it's gone that fast or we've come up with some really interesting things. And I think there's probably more to come at the end of it. We have to go back to the Gates Foundation, with recommendations for additional research we think is worthwhile, technological utilities that they could build for central banks and recommendations for central banks themselves about things they might do differently inside their four walls, that would help advance financial inclusion.
And normally technology is not built in that way. What are other areas in FinTech that students can get involved with besides payments? Payments, we touch every day. It was in New York yesterday and I was a long-time New Yorker I was so thrilled to get on the subway with my phone, it was like the coolest thing I wasn't fumbling for my mentor car. I was like this is great asset management right banking, which is more than just payments lending insurance, which is part of what I did.
Insurance is obviously very broad. Capital markets every area of financial services is cliche, to say, but it's being disrupted by technology, so any area of financial services, you could think of. They're sort of a FinTech thing happening. I think what's happened over time, is FinTech. When it was just emerging, with payments and lending. It was prosper and SoFi and all of that stuff, and that still exist.
But now what you've seen is the industry shift toward more balance sheet intensive things. So insurance that require some capital reserves, more capital markets, and things that are more part of the financial infrastructure right? So if you think about payments, it's usually the cool app, right?
It's the fact that you can put your thumb on your phone or show your face to your phone and make a payment. It's the glossy on top of the infrastructure, but the infrastructure is largely the same, at least in the US, but as FinTech matures, you're seeing more and more tech impact the infrastructure of the financial system itself, which is harder, it's harder to do, it's easier to paint a wall than it is to knock it down and rebuild it.
And so now we're in this phase of FinTech we're seeing more people think structurally about changes they can make and not just about a new color of paint. And I'm sure folks who follow this, have seen the Feds work on real-time payments. So you guys know probably a in the US, I send you some money if I do it through ACH, right bank to bank, I'll send it to you today, and it won't show up in your bank account and do what's today, Wednesday?
So Friday at best, probably Monday, right? The system shuts down over the weekend, right? I mean it's no that doesn't happen in a lot of other places in the world. So the Fed has been working for a long time to make payments real-time.
That it sounds very vanilla but it's really important, right? Especially if you're paycheck to paycheck, that timing gap really is the ball game, for a most working class and middle class people. So that's gonna be a big change in infrastructure. Lots of developed and developing nations, did this long ago.
The U. But part of this because we had this legacy infrastructure that didn't exist in other places, so that is gonna be a big big change. How do you take a liquid assets and make them liquid so that they're available on a secondary market and thus, you broaden the universe of investors in the primary market. There's lots of interesting things happening. So, I would be hesitant to say there's one big next thing. There's just so much happening in the space.
Not clearing out on a weekend. What other technological advances are happening elsewhere in the world, that you think will scale- scale to the U. Alright, for the longest time, especially in the US, we've thought of identity as this plastic card usually a driver's license or some non-driver ID.
And I would say it's like the thing that teenagers have been faking since the dawn of time. So why is this the hallmark of your identity is the thing that's so easily counterfeited. And by kids, I It's not hard to do. Where is the rest of the world. And still with a bank. If you wanna open a bank account, you're going in with your idea or at the very least, you're entering your social security number, all of those things, when you don't need to do any of that stuff, your thumb, your face, your voice your geo-location data, all of that can be used to identify you.
And I think certainly the developing world is far ahead of us on that. I think the US will catch up. And I think part of what you're gonna see here is distributed ledger technology is usually what people call blockchain, but as I'm sure you guys know a Blockchain is one protocol of a distributed ledger technology, universe.
Even the way we think about what pieces of information we need to do certain things in life. So we always use the example of And here, people use the example of like, if you go to buy alcohol before you're 21, you go to the Bodega and the court will say, "Give me your ID again. This thing that's been faked since the beginning of the the beginning of time by like year-olds by giving the clerk your driver's license, you are providing him or her with way more information than they need to know whether or not they can sell you alcohol, right?
You've given them your height, your weight, your eye color your hair color, your address, right? Like all of this stuff that is totally irrelevant to the decision at hand, and even your age is irrelevant to the decision. All the courts used to know is are you over 21 or over aren't you? So as we think about a distributed ledger and think about the universe of decisions you make, especially online, paying for stuff, looking things up and now, all that information is out there in the ether.
We think about an internet 20 where you could insert only the information that's relevant to the decision to the transaction to whatever activity or undertaking you can insert that into the protocol and then withdraw it, when you no longer need it. So your information is not living out there in the world, you're only providing the information that is needed or It's token IED payments, it's Apple Pay or Google Pay so for those, when you swipe a credit card, there's all kinds of information about the transaction that's traveling from bank to bank and through the payment system or even when you dip a credit card right if you're using to Anise payments, all that's generated on each side is an ID number to identify the transaction, so it's actually much less information that's traveling through the pipes, so it's much, much safer.
The same thing could be duplicated across so many things that you do in your online life, but if not, the way the internet works, because it was designed for sharing not for privacy right now fast forward to So I think all of that is a very long-winded way of saying like, identity and privacy, especially in our financial lives, is a thing that a lot of developing nations have done much better because they didn't have the legacy infrastructure.
And I think the US will start to learn more from those places. What kind of push back have you seen from institutions that are so embedded in the current way of doing things? I don't think because people don't recognize the value of innovations or because they don't want it, it's just And you guys know this from any number of school classes. There are switching costs if you have a SaaS system, throughout your entire organization, and you're JP Morgan, the cost to change that over to something new is enormous, and time consuming, right, and you're not just JP Morgan, but JP Morgans, connected to every other bank, right?
So how do you change that over? It's gonna be a slow process, and it's gonna interrupt business, it's gonna have an impact on business continuity so it's just change management, which is hard to do. And the same is true for regulators, they have a way of observing markets, they have a way of doing business. It's not that they don't recognize the value in doing it differently in these technological innovations, but switching changing is hard to do.
It's not pretty alright. So it's hard to do. What kind of advice do you have for us about what separates a good pitcher, in a bad pitch? Judging things is one of my favorite activities. So I would say two things: One, you have to do the work to anticipate every question that your audience is gonna have, whether that audience is investors, or regulators or professors or whatever, it is, so you really have to work hard to put yourself in the shoes of the audience and say, "Well if I make this statement, what are the natural follow-up questions gonna be and how do I answer?
So you really have to anticipate questions which you don't ever wanna do is go into a pitch or any sort of professional presentation and have somebody ask you a perfectly obvious question and not know the answer right it's not or have to be so right, through an answer. So that's one thing sort of anticipate the the questions the other thing I always tell people two other things.
So now I'm gonna expand my answer. The other thing is run water through the pipes, which is to say as you're describing your innovation, your company, I find pitches are best when they are very linear. The person logs into the app and then they'll push this button, and then people wanna understand exactly how it's gonna work. You can't be like, Well you open the app, and now you can do this thing.
People are gonna be like But how How does it work? Is it process is it code? So be prepared to really walk people. That's why they run water through the pipes. How is this going to travel, how many clicks, how is this thing gonna work? So I think that's another important piece. And then the third thing I can tell a story, any technological innovation has a user, it may not be a customer like a retail customer may be a B2B innovation, but there's a user.
How put your investor your regulator your professor, pick them on a journey of the user and how they're gonna experience this versus how they experience the ASQ, and Kelso. It's one thing And this is, it's obviously not a partisan conversation, but I think most people would agree, it's one of the things President Obama did very well, right. When he was pitching a policy, he wasn't like Section of the thing will be changed to read it.
He was imagined Susie without health care and right he would tell you a story. And just because this is business and not policy, the same rules apply. Tell a story about your user and it'll be much more compelling for your audience, to understand why this is impactful and important. I'd love to invite anyone with a question to raise their hand, and we'll work through all of them.
I really appreciate it. So I'm in the business school and I spent the summer working on a start-up in tech space using distributed ledger technology to accelerate post-trade settlement security, digitizing assets.. But exactly, we talk about the case SSIS and moving everything over to you on product you is a huge lift. Yeah, because of the connotation in the technology as a "Tatar still are in the case.
I was and also just to be an O, which times when I was gonna want it was What do you think it's going into? I first like a J Morgan, a fan run, or people like that. Yeah, to accept a technology like this. Ballpark, why do you think something like that?
What actually? I have never really invested in anything before — aside from placing the money I had in a savings account that had minimal, minimal interest. This sense of urgency only continues to grow. Over winter break, I had found out that many of my friends had begun investing in cryptocurrency and because they had timed it right, had made thousands of dollars in profit.
A slow feeling of panic began to fill me. A lot of people seem to have their act together and seem to know exactly what to do and when to do it. However, I feel like that the biggest problem lies with myself. Is it because I know that my parents will always be able to support me financially if worst comes to worst? Either way, I need to change my perception and, in turn, my actions.
This amount of money will be good to have on a rainy day, and so I would put that aside.

At the time, it was called the Council of One Hundred, prohibiting the throwing of oranges and regulating the use of the masks. This shows that Carnival has been taking place in Barcelona for more than 7 centuries.
In the sixteenth century, new regulations came in power and the carnivals as we know them today were created. Costumes were later incorporated after the success of satire novels. The bests spots to explore in Barcelona Each neighborhood of the city has a different celebration. Fat Thursday is dedicated to gastronomy, and you can find food stands that offer popular snacks and meals.
Carnival Friday is celebrated as the arrival of the Carnival king. Ash Wednesday is the closing party, and sardine is buried by tradition. Traditional snacks are also made and sold all around the city. Castellers of Catalonia One of the most distinguishing cultural features of Catalonia are the castellers. Castellers are groups of people who create human towers by climbing on top of each other.
This is an old Catalonian tradition and is carried out in multiple locations. The castellers gather on 24 September and create human towers in the popular Sant Jaume square. The square is usually very populated by locals and tourists alike. Els Minyons of Terrassa are another group of traditional collas, and the best celebrations take place in Terrassa, Barcelona.
The third or fourth Sunday of November towers are usually the greatest and most impressive. They gather on the first weekend of August, and the biggest party is organized that same day. The Sunday afternoon is when the colla of the castellers begins. Festivals of Barcelona are also amazing celebrations, with a long history of tradition. These fiestas usually take place in August. Diada de Catalunya The 11th day of September is a very important day for the Catalans.
This is the day that is called the official holiday of Catalonia. There are multiple events carried out throughout the whole region. The last king of Austria, Carlos II died without any descendants. This leads to a war between families to grab the throne of Spain. The bourbons were led by Philip V, along with the Archduke of Austria.
Since old nodes will recognise the new blocks as valid, a soft fork is backward-compatible. This kind of fork requires only a majority of the miners upgrading to enforce the new rules. Bitcoin Cash has been hard forked since its original forking, with the creation of Bitcoin SV. What Is Taproot? Taproot is a soft fork that bundles together BIP , and and aims to improve the scalability, efficiency, and privacy of the blockchain by introducing several new features.
MAST introduces a condition allowing the sender and recipient of a transaction to sign off on its settlement together. Schnorr Signature allows users to aggregate several signatures into one for a single transaction. This results in multi-signature transactions looking the same as regular transactions or more complex ones. By introducing this new address type, users can also save on transaction fees, as even complex transactions look like simple, single-signature ones.
Although HODL ers will probably not notice a big impact, Taproot could become a key milestone to equipping the network with smart contract functionality. In particular, Schnorr Signatures would lay the foundation for more complex applications to be built on top of the existing blockchain, as users start switching to Taproot addresses primarily.
If adopted by users, Taproot could, in the long run, result in the network developing its own DeFi ecosystem that rivals those on alternative blockchains like Ethereum. What Is the Lightning Network? The Lightning Network is an off-chain, layered payment protocol that operates bidirectional payment channels which allows instantaneous transfer with instant reconciliation.
It enables private, high volume and trustless transactions between any two parties. The Lightning Network scales transaction capacity without incurring the costs associated with transactions and interventions on the underlying blockchain. A few years ago, the idea that a publicly traded company might hold Bitcoin on its balance sheets seemed highly laughable.
The flagship cryptocurrency was considered to be too volatile to be adopted by any serious business. Since then, many others have followed suit, including EV manufacturer Tesla. MicroStrategy has by far the largest Bitcoin portfolio held by any publicly-traded company. The business analytics platform has adopted Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset, aggressively buying the cryptocurrency through and Is Bitcoin Political? Bitcoin is becoming more political by the day, particularly after El Salvador began accepting the currency as legal tender.
The country's president, Nayib Bukele, announced and implemented the decision almost unilaterally, dismissing criticism from his citizens , the Bank of England , the IMF , Vitalik Buterin and many others. Since the Bitcoin legal tender law was passed in September , Bukele has also announced plans to build Bitcoin City , a city fully based on mining Bitcoin with geothermal energy from volcanoes.
Countries like Mexico , Russia and others have been rumored to be candidates also to accept Bitcoin as legal tender, but thus far, El Salvador stands alone. On the flip side, countries like China have moved to heavily clamp down on Bitcoin mining and trading activities. In May , the Chinese government declared that all crypto-related transactions are illegal. This was followed by a heavy crackdown on Bitcoin mining operations, forcing many crypto-related businesses to flee to friendlier regions.
Surprisingly, the anti-crypto stance of the Chinese government has done little to stop the industry. According to data by the University of Cambridge , China is now the second-biggest contributor to Bitcoin's global hash rate, only behind the United States. How Much Is Bitcoin? The current valuation of Bitcoin is constantly moving, all day every day. It is a truly global asset. From a start of under one cent per coin, BTC has risen in price by thousands of percent to the numbers you see above.

Bitcoin is, in many regards, almost synonymous with cryptocurrency, which means that you can buy Bitcoin on virtually every crypto exchange — both for fiat money and other cryptocurrencies. Some of the main markets where BTC trading is available are:.

Many crypto enthusiasts and economists believe that high-scale adoption of the top currency will lead us to a new modern financial world where transaction amounts will be denominated in smaller units. The smallest units of Bitcoin, 0. The top crypto is considered a store of value, like gold, for many — rather than a currency.
This idea of the first cryptocurrency as a store of value, instead of a payment method, means that many people buy the crypto and hold onto it long-term or HODL rather than spending it on items like you would typically spend a dollar — treating it as digital gold.
Crypto Wallets The most popular wallets for cryptocurrency include both hot and cold wallets. Cryptocurrency wallets vary from hot wallets and cold wallets. Hot wallets are able to be connected to the web, while cold wallets are used for keeping large amounts of coins outside of the internet. Some of the top crypto hot wallets include Exodus, Electrum and Mycelium. Still not sure of which wallet to use? For example, if users A and B are disagreeing on whether an incoming transaction is valid, a hard fork could make the transaction valid to users A and B, but not to user C.
A hard fork is a protocol upgrade that is not backward compatible. This means every node computer connected to the Bitcoin network using a client that performs the task of validating and relaying transactions needs to upgrade before the new blockchain with the hard fork activates and rejects any blocks or transactions from the old blockchain. The old blockchain will continue to exist and will continue to accept transactions, although it may be incompatible with other newer Bitcoin clients.
Since old nodes will recognise the new blocks as valid, a soft fork is backward-compatible. This kind of fork requires only a majority of the miners upgrading to enforce the new rules. Bitcoin Cash has been hard forked since its original forking, with the creation of Bitcoin SV.
