Luca Bersella and Jonty Fish, two young South African entrepreneurs, embark on a journey of shifting their minds to find the truth of how to succeed in the world. In their conversations between them and their guests, they cover topics ranging from business, finance, technology, mindset and everything in between.
Mindshift #19 | Part 2 - Ethereum, The Global Supercomputer
Luca Steiner (@steinerluca_) is a consultant working in the Banking and Credit Risk Management space. He is a big believer in Web 3.0, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and has been deep down the crypto rabbit hole for over 2 years. He is a digital nomad of sorts, splitting his time between Frankfurt Germany and Stavanger in Norway.
Jonty Quenet (@GalacticQue) first started trading and investing in stocks when he was 13 and has made the transition to crypto investing in the past few years. After looking beyond the charts and understanding the true promise of the technology, he has become a firm believer in Crypto and Web 3.0. He believes it is time the average person has control over their own wealth, which can be enabled through innovations in crypto.
The two guests join Luca Bersella, the host of Mindshift, to breakdown Ethereum (which at the time of recording hadn't been smashing its ATH), how it works versus Bitcoin, how it is a global supercomputer and why it is so valuable in the context of its analogy to digital oil.
