SoulBound - Asia's Crypto Podcast: Recent Episodes
Alan Hellawell and Rawson Haverty
Glenn Gore, CEO of Affinidi, reflects on a career spanning a number of elemental roles that stretch from the early days of the internet through to the more recent advent of blockchain and Web 3 paradigms. Temasek-backed Affinidi proposes a shift of control and ownership of data back to the individual, and in so doing is enabling new business models. Glenn shares fascinating examples of Affinidi's decentralized frameworks for data ownership in describing how various countries reopened their borders post-COVID.
Web3 is "about empowering people to have agency over their digital lives...We all have been lulled into a false sense of security over the fact that we trust the companies who have our personal information", says Robby Yung, CEO of metaverse and NFT leader Animoca Brands. Robby joins cohosts Alan Hellawell of Gizmo Advisors and Rawson Haverty of Reflection Digital on the inaugural episode of SoulBound to discuss issues of the day such as "premature digitalization", volatility in the crypto space and Animoca Brands' portfolio of 350+ investments.
Welcome to SoulBound, Asia’s leading voice on crypto and blockchain. Cohosts Alan Hellawell and Rawson Haverty intend to interview some of the region’s leaders in the crypto and Web3 space for a full, “top-to-bottom” discussion of important trends and themes. “SoulBound” is a reference to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin’s latest paper outlining a new token type for on-chain reputation.
With our technology focus being Web3, and our geographic concentration being Asia Pacific, SoulBound is where the next generation of the internet meets the world’s most dynamic region. The series seeks to create deeper understanding of areas that may otherwise seem both ever-changing and dauntingly complex.
Our ultimate hope is that there ends up being something in every episode for everyone, from the established crypto native, to your novice...to the simple passerby.
We hope you enjoy.
