  • The benefits of slack
  • The cash conundrum
  • The 29 Day Altcoin Trading Challenge

Stories:

 

On Notice: The average financial advisor’s knowledge base continues to expand. Outside of their day job they have to know about the innovations their customers are reading about and sometimes using. That means crypto and various fintech innovations. 

 

Scrapping scraping?: Firms in Australia are debating the merits or lack thereof of screen scraping.  Some say it’s bad tech, while others believe the absence of it will impede fintech development. 

 

Crypto currency war: The contest for global financial dominance is deep seated and has numerous historical influences. Take the long adversarial relationship between the Chinese and the Japanese. Could crypto lead them to war?

 

The benefits of slack: One of the challenges of highly optimized systems is that when something goes wrong the impacts are substantial. With tightly woven supply chains and an unexpected and virulent virus spread, options and impacts are unknown. This is where a little slack and redundancy can pay big dividends.

 

The cash conundrum: This is your must read for the week. While the idea of digital banking as a panacea for all things is perhaps, a little Alice in Wonderland, there is a ton of gold in this UK report. If you’re a fintech builder or marketer, get your coffee ready.

LEAN regulation: The World Economic Forum, ie The Davos crowd, would like to recommend to regulators that they act more like agile tech companies.
