What do festivals and crypto have in common?

@HarryHorsfall_ @Flight3official joined us in the pub last week - Full episode drops tomorrow.

Another productive conversation about AI, ended, as they all do, with @GreggsOfficial.

Arsenal may bottle the league, but if they do end up winning it, it'll have a lot to do with their set-piece coach Nicolas Jover.

Turns out he's also pretty handy at running a Monte Carlo analysis too. @Benjaminputley explains how he's putting him to work at @AlkimiExchange

[The LOCAL W.M.C. @TheLocalWMC]

Is Crypto getting more TradFi or is TradFi getting more Crypto? @alexblocmates, @Grantblocmates and @TheLocalWMC discuss who's shitting it the most...

[The LOCAL W.M.C. @TheLocalWMC]

ads are a ubiquitous part of the internet experience, but have you ever delved into the ecosystem behind them? We're joined in the pub by @Benjaminputley of @AlkimiExchange to discuss adtech, and an openclaw setup named after the arsenal set piece coach. Links below as always

[The LOCAL W.M.C. @TheLocalWMC]

What if crypto was only ever meant for one thing? @blocmates and @TheLocalWMC discuss...

[blocmates. @blocmates]

This one spiraled in the best way possible. One of the most fun pods we've done in a while

[LO:TECH @lo_tech]

Thanks to @AstridDoerner of @handelsblatt for the thoughtful piece, and for joining @TimMeggs and the team in Cannes.

Good to see the shift we're building for being covered properly: blockchain is becoming part of the underlying rails of finance.

What happens when you get the local lads and the @blocmates boys together in a french chateau, ply them with booze and stick some cameras and microphones in front of them? Follow along to find out more, full episode coming next week.

[LO:TECH @lo_tech]

This time last week, the LO:TECH team joined forces with @stakecapital and @verisventures for a special rooftop edition of @TheLocalWMC. For those queuing downstairs who couldn't get up before we hit capacity, this is what you missed out on:

[The LOCAL W.M.C. @TheLocalWMC]

Having a bank account is something most people take for granted. But what happens when you get turned away for being into crypto or an OF creator? @itamarl talks about how @ready_co is creating the Protonmail of finance.

[LO:TECH @lo_tech]

The best week in Cannes with the @blocmates lads, can’t wait to share what they’re cooking up. Pure cinema

[LO:TECH @lo_tech]

There's a few "theories" about Polymarket’s 5-minute BTC windows.

If you want to know what’s actually going on, look at the data.

We’ve added live + historic prediction market data to LO:TECH Data across Polymarket, Kalshi and Opinion.

[LO:TECH @lo_tech]

Great to have @itamarl from @ready_co join us in the office pub last week. This one is a good listen!

[The LOCAL W.M.C. @TheLocalWMC]

Can you actually live on stablecoins? It's a reality for many users of @ready_co. Great to have @itamarl join @TimMeggs in the Local pub to talk all things self-custody, crypto cards, and why banks still make it so hard for people to move and use their own money.

“I was waking 2–3 times a night just to pay gas…”

@itamarl joined us in the pub last week with @TimMeggs to discuss the future of on-chain banking, mainstream Stablecoins and how @ready_co tackles traditional banking friction.

Full episode drops tomorrow.

One week today, the LO:TECH team will be gracing a rather nice rooftop in Cannes, It's great to be co-hosting with @StakeCapital again, and this year it's a pleasure to also joined by the team at @verisventures.

@EthCC felt like a huge success in Cannes last year. We're looking forward to doing it all again next week, in weather conditions more suitable for some of the pasty brits we have in the team.

[LO:TECH @lo_tech]

Bonjour. Remember how fun this was last summer? Well we're doing it again in a fortnight with our good friends at @verisventures and @StakeCapital.

Once again, the food will be excellent, the rosé will be chilled, the guest list will be curated, the view will be spectacular and the LO:TECH team will be there in force.

If you're heading to Cannes for @EthCC then check out the Luma event below to sign up.

[The LOCAL W.M.C. @TheLocalWMC]

@b1rdmania any regulars in search of a local?
