Discover how the original ideas behind blockchain predate Bitcoin by 17 years and how they laid the groundwork for a revolution in digital records. Scott reveals the groundbreaking concept that shifted the focus from combating deepfakes to making deepfakes irrelevant, and how this approach could redefine digital security. You'll hear about the evolution of immutable records, the future of blockchain-based currencies grounded in real-world assets like energy, and why proof of stake may be a more stable foundation than proof of work.
