Joshua Scigala is the Co-founder of TheStandard.io and Vaultoro.com. Joshua Scigala has worked in bitcoin since 2010 when Satoshi was still around. He was one of the first to implement the bitcoin protocol into a web service. Like many early bitcoiners, he fell victim to the first bitcoin exchange collapse called MtGox, which inspired him to invent the “glass books protocol” for exchange transparency. Joshua went on to launch and run the first bitcoin exchange Vaultoro.com to trade bitcoin and physical gold with radical transparency. 

He also worked in the background to help dislodge the bitcoin scaling stalemate and went on to launch the first implementation of the bitcoin lightning network on an exchange.  Joshua shared his thoughts on the potential impact of AI on the job market, and the challenges and opportunities presented by decentralised currencies. He also provided insight into the concept of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and how they could potentially shape the financial landscape in the future.  

One topic that particularly stood out to me was Joshua's discussion on decentralised autonomous organizations (DAOs) and the potential for Web 3.0 to disrupt traditional financial systems. He also shared his thoughts on the recent FTX collapse and the future of the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry.  Overall, it was a fascinating conversation that offered a lot of food for thought on the future of money and the role of technology in shaping it. If you're interested in learning more about these topics, I highly recommend giving the full interview a listen.
