b'How do you feel about deFi and the latest innovations? Do you jump in headfirst or bide your time? Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby discuss how markets work, the appeal of new technologies, and the importance of regulation.

We\\u2019ve always been told that knowledge is power. And it\\u2019s true. Information is what drives markets. Do you want to corner a specific market? You need information. Do you want to understand it? You still need information.\\xa0

\\xa0

For far too long, the people who have had access to this information are the ones on Wall Street, or the ones who can afford ultra-fast internet and tech equipment. But with TARTLE, that\\u2019s about to change.

In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby discuss data-grabbing, the battle over money, and how we are at the center of everything.

The Importance of Regulating Emergent Technologies

Regulation is not bad. In some instances, establishing oversight on markets has been what makes it more accessible for the people on the ground. This is because it protects market participants from malicious actors, especially those who are not familiar with the commodity or currency yet.

\\xa0

Emerging technologies are appealing because they are innovative, and it\\u2019s always exciting to think that we may be early adopters of the next big thing. But we have seen just how catastrophic an unregulated commodity or currency can become. It\\u2019s not just a matter of losing jobs and money. When the stakes are high, people lose their lives as well. We only need to look at the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to see this.

\\xa0

So when we look at bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it\\u2019s not enough to find out how we can use these technologies. We need to ask ourselves what the right regulatory response is as well.

The Role of Choice in New Technologies

With the introduction of decentralized technologies, particularly in finance, the world has realized one thing: people want choice. Consent in the outcome of new markets.

\\xa0

This highlights the problem we face with fiat currency. Government-issued currency isn\\u2019t inherently bad. But printing lots of money is. And an elite, exclusive group of bankers controlling that entire system makes it worse.

\\xa0

Why don\\u2019t we get to decide how far we go in our participation, and how much we can get out of it? Why does it feel like someone else is taking advantage of our hard work?

\\xa0

These are questions that anyone is bound to have mulled over in their lifetime. For too long, we\\u2019ve had to adjust to the whims of another person or entity. This centralized model does not listen to us, or cater to our needs. It\\u2019s time we find a new system to work with.

Why TARTLE Wins

On TARTLE, everybody can be a market participant and a part of the investment. The market is capable of naturally equalizing; everybody can be a part of the investment. Everybody has the same access and the same information on the platform. And of course, everybody is fairly compensated for their hard work.

\\xa0

It\\u2019s almost like the relationship between mining and the price of gold. It\\u2019s the effort put into extracting the ore and refining it that makes it so expensive. Bitcoin mining operates in a similar fashion. But with TARTLE, you don\\u2019t need to have lots of complex equipment or cash to become a data champion.\\xa0

\\xa0

Nobody takes a cut from your efforts.\\xa0

\\xa0

It\\u2019s time for you to find out: what\\u2019s your data worth?
