0149 - Working in Blockchain with Kevin Matthews

Hosts: Anil Yadav and Andres Aboitiz We are very pleased to welcome Kevin Matthews from Coinbase.First, Kevin, could you tell us a little about yourself and how you came to be a Blockchain Operations Programme Manager for Coinbase?1.     What attracted you first to a career in the Blockchain industry?2.     Can you give us a sketch of the various actors that make up the ecosystem?3.     Is there a role for specialist consultants and tech consultancies?4.     Is the approach taken for programme management just the same as in other software centric sectors? [that is, working with diverse product owners, project management, software lifecycle, product portfolios?]5.     Where do new product ideas come from? [internal 20% projects; inside/outside entrepreneurs]6.     What new organisational forms do you envisage based on DAOs?7.     Finance and Banking has evolved over a long time rather than being designed for purpose - ancient (if not ‘antiquated’) industrial structures. How can they co-exist with distributed finance, distributed ledgers? [example of custody-of-assets?]8.     Where do you see this sector in the next 5+ years? [emerging trends in Crypto, DAOs and NFTs]AcknowledgementsMusic Title: Check Them InArtist: Ema GraceSource:  https://bit.ly/2tJ6BndLicense:  CC BY 4.0Artist notes: Ema Grace is an AI vocaloid produced by Ryoma MAEDA (@Ryoma_Maeda).
