Don't miss @ledaglyptis.bsky.social thoughts pre-#Sibos2025:

"Whether you see #stablecoins as the currency of the entire digital asset space, a stepping stone to a larger transformation or the transformation itself, you probably can't afford to ignore this."

Is BAU (business as usual) taking over your life? buff.ly/vjrTyTd | @Fintech_Futures
Is BAU taking over your life?
Although you have a plan and the talent and the best intentions, the gravitational pull of BAU, not just the work itself but the way the work is done, pulls you right in.

What your contracts tell me about your business
Businesses tell you who they are in every piece of paper they produce and nowhere more than in their contracts.

"And when a direct question is asked, we talk around it. We give context and colour. We give caveats and dependencies." - @ledaglyptis.bsky.social calls out the eight-hour conference call 💯 buff.ly/p09WpOo | @Fintech_Futures
The eight-hour conference call
The thing that is characteristic of the eight-hour conference call is not so much its duration as its cadence.

"Between AI, stablecoins and tariffs, the pace of new information, regulatory flex and associated opinions seems to have accelerated, and the worry of missing the one thing that will make all the difference is through the roof."

The right time timing is always a combination of opportunity costs akin to gambling on being Goldilocks
Too early
Too late
Just Right

There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch
Just like there ain’t no such thing as free banking
Because somewhere someone is subsidising the cost by paying the price
Ain’t nothing free in this world, especially love and money

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Curiosity is a moral virtue

And the limits of innovation all depend on the liability model: who pays when something goes wrong

At the end of the day, everything depends on who pays; sadly that doesn’t always satisfy our curiosity

We magnify that which we praise

Want to encourage more from team members?

Recognise their contributions

Recognising others’ contributions fosters respect, appreciation, loyalty, and - here’s the kicker - future contributions

Magnifying = maximising

"...the imperative to innovate and be reliable are equal, simultaneous and bound to each other."

Technology is a tool, not a religion (AMEN!)

The maxim of simplicity being the essence of elegance holds water here: building less, while building it better is wisdom

A shiny ✨ tool isn’t the point, but the shiny thing it enables you to build is

Embedded finance will be accelerated by smart data use cases
This is why tech stack infrastructure interoperability is such a big deal
Data sharing models are destined for embedded finance, and are exactly why the revenue/market share gains are shifting (and yes, it’s a bit of a zero sum game)

George is a legend.
Life is surprisingly accommodating when we face it knowing what we want and what we’re willing to do for it.
That said, be careful what you ask for AND ask for it to arrive in a particular way and shape.
That last bit is where it gets tricky…

All bodies of water - streams, rivers, estuaries - all lead to the ocean
There’s an inherent longing for the vastness of it, there will always be a need to build ships
Whether or not those ships are built for your organisation is a matter of how connected your team is to your intentions
