Reggie And Royal Perspectives, on Economy, History, Cryptocurrency, Business Podcast
Old School Meets New School! Somewhat recently, the Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett was forced to finally admit that he was not well-connected to the tech boom to fully profit from that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He just didn't get it. Many of the discussions relative to current day economics, business, history, cryptocurrency are quite often constrained by the perspectives of the participants. Younger participants are more attuned to the world into which they have grown and are now currently immersed, giving them a valuable basis to relate to those in the generations of those coming behind us. However, without the benefit of living history, and, the historical perspectives that might be missed by that younger generation, this forward view alone clearly misses the boat. Quite often the wisdom of eyes on events long gone must be weaved in to either emphasize, balance, or, at times, dismiss that view entirely. And, vice versa. This father and son pair are using their own personal understandings, successes, failures, and, understandings, both mutual and distinctively different, to impart their spin on the news and events of the day. Many elements flowing through our media streams each and every day are leaving a few loose ends that require a bit of further understanding and crucial context. Join us as we explore many of the topics of the day from both ends of our generational spectrums.

Cryptocurrency - The Seventh Layer©
August 6, 2021 • 16 MIN
The Seventh Layer is my characterization of the current state of evolution as seen during my career in business and information technology tracing back to my first experience, that of marketing to, and, servicing the needs of Fortune 500 executives who lacked proper efficient and profitable information management support. This was in the early 1980's. I refer to this period as the first layer. Of course, there were many previous evolutions that occurred long before that point. I am not dismissing the significant contributions and commitments that allowed that infrastructure to exist. It's with that as a foundation that I view the current evolution of cryptocurrencies, as a technological evolutionary layer, rather than as a stand-alone entity. Connecting the bridge between technology and business is where the understanding begins in the world of cryptocurrencies. Also, see us in full video form on YouTube's Reggie and Royal channel.
