CryptoCurrencyWire Audio Production Featuring Layne Lafrance, Co-Founder of Flow

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest production features Layne Lafrance, Co-Founder of Flow, a decentralized, public, layer-one blockchain designed for building Web3 experiences for mainstream users. To begin the interview, Lafrance discussed her background and path leading up to her role as the Co-Founder of Flow. “I was one of the co-founders of CryptoKitties in 2017. It was an incredible landmark moment for the Ethereum network – bringing it to a halt,” Lafrance stated. “Prior to endeavoring to build the future of consumer applications and web3, I spent some time working with a company called Heartisans in Hong Kong, building a blood pressure watch. Now, I get to spend my time thinking about how the world of web3 and technical innovation will elicit significant social, economic and technical change.” She then discussed a pivotal moment in her career and how it has impacted her journey in the web3 space. “The moment that I held closest to my heart, especially throughout the design and development of Flow, was one with Heartisans – completely unrelated to crypto,” she continued. “At that time, people were finding my personal phone number and calling me, begging me to release the blood pressure watch. They said, ‘I don’t care what it costs; please, just give us this product. It’s going to change my life.’ That became the new benchmark for what product/market fit looked like. If people aren’t calling you, begging you to get the product, then you don’t have product/market fit. That was a really important litmus test for me going forward, to be sure that what we were creating was going to deliver real benefits to real people.” “The core of why web3 is going to change the way we interact with the internet is most related to the notion of dynamic identity. With the existing internet, your identity, preferences and the data associated with all of that is held by companies that give you access to it only when it is useful to them. With

CryptoCurrencyWire Audio Production Featuring Boustead Securities CEO Keith Moore and Upstream Co-Founder Mark Elenowitz [Video Edition]

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Keith Moore, CEO of corporate finance firm Boustead Securities, and Mark Elenowitz, Co-Founder of blockchain-powered securities exchange and trading app Upstream. To begin the interview, Elenowitz provided an introduction to Upstream and detailed some of the advantages it offers to retail traders. “We are really excited about our relationship with Boustead,” Elenowitz stated. “Boustead has been so instrumental in small cap capital raising and capital formation that they were a perfect candidate to partner with Upstream. Upstream is the only national securities exchange in the world that is powered by the ethereum blockchain. We’re an affiliate member of the World Federation of Exchanges. There are 250 members around the world, including New York, Nasdaq, Tokyo, London and Hong Kong. We’re the smallest, but our affiliate membership enables us to adhere to the highest standards of investor disclosures and protections.” “What’s unique about our marketplace is that we’re designed for the global audience to be able to come in and have access to issuers that trade on other primary markets around the world,” he continued. “As Americans, we take it for granted that it’s very easy to download an app and open an account. It’s very difficult for the rest of the world to place securities transactions and buy stock. We are a direct-to-consumer marketplace. Investors can connect directly to our exchange through an app with a credit card, cash, cryptocurrency or PayPal. There are no intermediaries or market makers, meaning that there is no ability to have market manipulations like layering or spoofing and, most importantly, there’s no ability to borrow or hypothecate, so there’s no ability to short sell.”

CryptoCurrencyWire Audio Production Featuring Evgen Verzun, Founder of Kaizen.Finance

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Evgen Verzun, Founder of Kaizen.Finance, the first automated cross-chain token launch platform for everything from token creation and distribution to listing security and management. To begin the interview, Verzun discussed the focus of his activities in crypto, including efforts to improve security for investors of all skill levels. “In the crypto space, we are starting with solving the most difficult problems, like eliminating cybersecurity risks and attacks, because the worst thing that you can experience in crypto is losing money due to theft,” Verzun said. “Crypto theft is a technology failure, and we’re here to bring advanced technology to the space. There are not a lot of professional players in the crypto space focusing on cybersecurity. That’s why our focus on crypto is very important.”

CryptoCurrencyWire Audio Production Featuring Michael Amar, Chairman of Paris Blockchain Week

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Michael Amar, Chairman of Paris Blockchain Week, one of the most influential global events in the blockchain industry where business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and developers gather to share ideas and drive progress. To begin the interview, Amar discussed what is, in his opinion, the most exciting aspect of the cryptocurrency space. “Sometimes the user is at the center of the economic equation. There are sometimes challenges between the consumer, the shareholder and the employees. I think crypto can align these interests,” Amar said. “Sometimes you buy a t-shirt that costs $2 to produce, but they sell it to you for $200 because of a certain logo on it. Now, you’re advertising for the brand. I’m not sure that’s so fair. Is there a more fair way to have people contribute and get fair compensation for what they bring to the table? I think crypto can be that.”

CryptoCurrencyWire Podcast Featuring Charlie Lee, Creator of Litecoin

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Charlie Lee, Creator of Litecoin and Director of the Litecoin Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on promoting the adoption, education and development of Litecoin. To begin the interview, Lee discussed the volatility of the cryptocurrency space since he founded Litecoin in 2011. “The whole crypto space has gone through many boom-and-bust cycles where bull markets and bear markets set the price. The price has gone crazy,” Lee said. “When I first got into bitcoin, it was at $30. It crashed to like $2, then it’s been up and down. Recently, we’ve crashed back down quite a bit since the high of almost $70,000. In terms of price, it’s been a crazy, wild ride.” Lee then addressed how Litecoin has maintained a strong position in the market as many other large market cap cryptocurrencies have fallen by the wayside. “One of the reasons [for Litecoin’s longevity] is its fair launch. There was no ICO. It was launched publicly. I had to mine or buy coins off of an exchange just like everyone else,” he explained. “Everyone had their chance to buy and mine Litecoin from the start. That really helped with the narrative that it’s just money for the people and not something to enrich a small group. A lot of the coins that have gone bust are those that had huge ICOs where the development teams took in hundreds of millions of dollars and didn’t do much with it. Since they already made their money, there’s no incentive to actually work on the project anymore, so a lot of those projects have died. “Litecoin has been pretty steady, without a lot of hype. The network has been up-and-running for 11 years-plus with zero downtime. That’s kind of unheard of in this space,” Lee continued. “People use it every day for small payments and buying stuff, so the adoption rate has just gone up over the last 11 years without much of a break – unlike the price, which has been a roller coaster rid

CryptoCurrencyWire Podcast featuring Mario Nawfal, Co-Founder of NFT Technologies Inc.

CryptoCurrencyWire’s latest audio production features Mario Nawfal, co-founder of publicly listed NFT Technologies Inc., a leading technology company partnering with top-tier brands to accelerate their entry into the world of web3 through innovative technologies and unparalleled creativity. To begin the interview, Nawfal discussed his entrepreneurial background in the cryptocurrency space. “I got into crypto in 2017. I had a big e-commerce business at the time, and I had been watching bitcoin for a while. I should’ve owned a lot of them, but, long story short, I didn’t,” Nawfal said. “I launched IBC Group, which is now one of the largest incubators and media empires in the space. We started as a consulting firm, later became a marketing agency and then became an incubator in 2021. “I used to be really big on Clubhouse, so a lot of people know my voice but don’t know how I look beyond that picture – I used to have the same picture everywhere. I saw the power of live [content] – even live audio… The reason for this power is the conversion rate. I would tell people on Clubhouse to take a selfie and send it to me via DM, and I would be flooded by hundreds and hundreds of photos. I realized the influence you have when you have people’s attention, and when it’s live, it’s just different… I started Twitter Spaces when it first launched… we had the biggest space back then in all of Twitter, and now it’s the biggest room in web3.” Nawfal then turned his attention to the metaverse, providing insight into how he views the hot button topic. “The metaverse is simply a digital representation of the physical world we live in today. That’s it,” he explained. “Imagine everything you do on a daily basis – making friends, signaling your identity, trying to make money, entertainment – and just replicate them in a digital world… Where the confusion happens is decentralization… We go on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram – they’
