This episode, we travel around the world (in our minds) and check in on some cutting-edge national innovations. From Liberland adopting the world’s first government on a blockchain to China’s massive One Belt, One Road project (which is revitalising or creating entirely new ports around the world), there is some incredible things going on that aren’t getting covered much in world news.
We check in on a few aspect of Bitcoin, from the sparkly new website to how it tracks against many other major stocks, indexes and commodities in the world. We also look at the latest in VR and AR, and deal with the usual slew of updates out of Elon Musk’s many projects – including brain computer interfaces, ‘full’ self driving and internet-beaming satellites.
Finally, we look at a great tool for your two-factor authentication called Authy, which allows you to keep access to your tokens across devices. No more worrying about losing your phone!
