| 0:00.0 | Credible neutrality in the world that we live in today is so important. |
| 0:04.0 | And there's so many examples you can point to where not having credible neutrality has resulted in a Fiat edict that says something's going to change and it's going to disrupt people's lives or organizations. |
| 0:28.8 | Welcome back to Gen C. Sam here. Today we're going to have a conversation with York Roads. |
| 0:34.9 | York is someone who's been at Microsoft now for I think almost a decade, really focuses on emerging technology. I think was a co-founder of the blockchain group as well |
| 0:38.4 | within Microsoft and has spoken many times at consensus. I've listened to a lot of his work. I've |
| 0:43.7 | read a lot of the stuff that he puts out. And I thought it would be really interesting for us to |

| 1:23.0 | We'll see you soon. |

| 1:37.9 | of blockchain that is private and inclusive by design. Break free with midnight, visit midnight. |
