Investing Frameworks For The Exponential Age | Crypto x AI Event

The Six Year Window: Making Money in the Exponential Age - A wide-ranging conversation between Kevin Kelly (Delphi Digital) and Raoul Pal exploring investment frameworks for an AI-driven future.

In this thought-provoking discussion, macro investor Raoul Pal shares his thesis on why we have roughly six years until AI and other exponential technologies fundamentally reshape the economy and society.


Key insights:


- Traditional macro investing frameworks may become obsolete as AI reshapes economic fundamentals

- The next 6 years represent a critical window to position for the new economic paradigm

- Technology and crypto represent the primary vectors for capturing value in the exponential age

- The intersection of AI and blockchain could enable new forms of economic activity and value creation


"We've got about six years, I put 2030 as a rough date when we don't begin to understand how anything works. And so therefore I would like to be on the other side of that protected." — Raoul Pal

bZx’s Kyle Kistner: Exploring The Protocol for Tokenized Margin Trading and Lending

Host Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Digital is joined by Kyle Kistner, co-founder of bZx Protocol.  For the podcast, we try our best to locate early stage projects in the space. We noticed bZx's total value locked on DeFi pulse grew from $1M in September to near $3.5M in late November. While small in absolute numbers, the increase is notable, and with the launch of Fulcrum and Torque, we believed having the team on the podcast would be worthwhile for our listeners.  BZX is a decentralized protocol that enables lending and borrowing for margin trading. The protocol can be easily integrated into new and existing exchanges or accessed through the bZx portal. On this episode we also discuss the products built on the bZx Protocol including Fulcrum (DeFi margin lending and trading) and Torque (indefinite-term loans with fixed interest rates).
