I think the Soundcloud embed doesn’t work for Medium when you upload it originally with an apostrophe in the title. Link here: https://soundcloud.com/rhys-lindmark/25-trent-mcconaghy-ocean-protocol-cryptoeconomic-primitives-humanitys-future-plan

In this episode of Creating a Humanist Blockchain Future (Patreon, Soundcloud, Youtube, iTunes) I interview Trent McConaghy, the CTO and co-founder of Ocean Protocol, a decentralized data substrate (and protocol!) for data marketplaces. We chat cryptoeconomic primitives like Curation Markets and Token-Curated Registries and Trent’s proposed system to map our future. Enjoy, and as always, let me know if you have any feedback!
