Disruptors and curious minds, book lovers, readers! Welcome to book club, where serious readers come to get more from their books. It's where adventurous book lovers come to understand concepts, share ideas and get different perspectives.


Benjamin Franklin said, "once you lose it, you’ll never find it again." Theophrastrus said, "it was the most valuable thing you can spend." Pericles said it was "the wisest counsellor of all." Oscar Wilde said "punctuality steals it away."

Turns out they were all wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein:

“The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

Or,

“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”

Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.”

Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.”

Time really is all we have. And in this months book club, we're talking about it in more detail than we ever thought possible. We're reading:

- The Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli.

Please Enjoy The Book.

John Banville: "Physics has found its poet."

Tom Whipple: "An elegantly concise primer that makes theoretical physics intelligible stunningly written."

Disruptors and curious minds! This week we’re speaking with Vince Yang, CEO of zkLink. In what will be a far-reaching, technological and philosophical conversation about the impact of ZK technology and Layer 3s on DeFi, and in turn, what that means for the financial infrastructure of culture.

Yikes! That is a big topic, but we’re ready.

Please Enjoy The Show.

==========================

Questions we'll try to answer:

What are ZK Proofs?

Why do we even need DeFi?

How does DeFI impact business? What does it give the ‘man on the street’?

DeFi and the tools are complex financial instruments. What is a better blockchain user experience (UX) in DeFi? Should it be simplified?

Where is the line between education and mass adoption?

How do you navigate regulatory environments across different countries when expanding DeFi services?

What role do you think regulation should play (if any) in the DeFi space to balance innovation with consumer protection?

How can DeFi impact traditional banking and financial services in the next decade?

How can traditional financial institutions leverage DeFi to enhance their service offerings?

Why do we need layer 3s?

What is layer 3? How far does the Russian doll go? Do we need layer 4 and 5? Is layer 3 the final layer?

What is ZKlink, how is it different?

What is ZKlink Nova?

Disruptors and curious minds! Welcome to Thinking On Paper: real conversations on the impact of emerging technologies on business and culture.

This week we’re speaking with Stepn CEO Shiti Manghani.

👟 STEPN is a web3 lifestyle and fitness app built on the Solana blockchain . It launched on December 1st 2021 with 99,999 NFT trainers.

Each cost 1.3 SOL (Sol was trading at $228 dollars that day).

In March 2022, they launched their governance token, GMT.

The following month GMT was worth $4 and Stepn had a $3 billion market cap. If I’m reading the charts correctly, at one point 24-hour trading surpassed $4 billion.

Someone sold a Stepn NFT for 58 Sol.

Pretty darn extraordinary.

Move-to-earn was a thing. You probably remember it.

Of course there were many imitators to the Stepn throne.

You could sleep, eat, meditate and (insert verb here)… to earn.

The Stepn concept - if not the tech - was simple: you won GST (Green Satoshi Tokens, not GMT) based on how far you ran, jumped, hopped, swam, crawled.

I'll be honest, I stopped paying attention at that point.

But here’s the thing.

Where most died, Stepn survived.

Yes, It took a hit. The floor price is 0.01 Sol. GMT is trading at $0.2.

But the market cap is still half a billion.

A community has stuck with them. Or a new one joined.

Stepn has matured.

It's a lifestyle app.

A social platform.

Where people want to get healthy (and wealthy?)

Strava meets couch-to-5k meets friend Tech.

Last week it announced a partnership with Adidas.

We're curious to know more.
