| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Crypto 101 podcast presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money. |
| 0:10.9 | All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Crypto 101 podcast. I'm your co-host, Bryce. As always, joined by my good buddy across the Great Plains all the way over in Florida. Brendan, how are you doing? I'm doing good, man. You know, I took the weekend and I was thinking, I have a lot of questions about layer ones and alt coins. And you came and you said, hey, I think I have the right guy for this. |
| 0:38.5 | I think I have the solution. Yeah, no joke. We're really excited to be speaking with Arthur |
| 0:44.1 | Brightman today, who's the co-founder of Tezos. Arthur was, you know, a big wig over at |
| 0:50.2 | Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and then over at Google and Waymo, and then decided, hey, |
| 0:55.2 | I'm going to take my conquering skills and go to the blockchain world and built a layer one |
| 1:00.1 | protocol. So there's nothing he hasn't done in finance, in engineering. Arthur is joining us. |
| 1:05.8 | Welcome to the show. And how are you doing, Arthur? Thanks. Thank you for having me. I'm doing, |
| 1:10.7 | I'm doing all right. I will correct. I was not a big |
| 1:13.3 | wig. I was a midwig. Maybe at least. But you were, you were building a lot of the algorithms, |
| 1:20.0 | doing a lot of the hard mathematics and quantitative stuff. Yeah, I love that. I was doing a lot of |
| 1:25.7 | math. A lot of math. And still are doing a lot of math, I presume. Not enough, you know, I, uh, I love that. I was doing a lot of math. A lot of math. And still are doing a lot of math, I presume. Not enough, you know. I, I wish they were more math on my day to day, but it is what it is. Yeah, absolutely. Maybe you'll take a sabbatical and do some deep study on some imaginary numbers or theoretical physics. What, what's your favorite |
| 1:47.7 | kind, just before we get in, like, what's your favorite kind of math, like non-Euclidean geometry, |
| 1:52.1 | or what's your, what's your quirk? Um, I love, um, I like quinitorics a lot. Uh, and what was that? |
| 2:00.7 | I didn't hear that. I didn't hear that. But I would say applied math. I'm not, I like computerics a lot. What was that? |
| 2:00.8 | I didn't hear that. I didn't hear that. |
| 2:01.2 | I didn't hear that. |
| 2:03.4 | But I would say applied math. |
| 2:04.8 | I'm not a theory called my math guy. |
| 2:06.9 | I'm just, I like, I would say, numerical engineering. |
| 2:12.9 | It's when you have, when you have to deploy computer solution |
| 2:17.2 | that actually implements mathematical algorithms |
