Thanks Greg,

I'd appreciate it, if you could discuss other crypto's or speak with a guest about other cryptos & real world assets, utility tokens & Iso20022 compliant coins (to replace the swift messaging standard with new Iso20022 standards), Ai Agents & Defi tokens etc

I would really like it if you had time to spend 15 minutes researching into Gilbert Verdian & the Quant Overledger Network & Iso standard Iso20022 T370 plus other standards!

I think Quant will be a major player in the global digital economy & global interledger protocols via it's Api integrations, going forward.

Maybe ask your community if they have any insights & their thoughts, if your too busy (I do understand) or not interested.

Cheers Greg

... crypto is an on-ramp to UBI digital slavery, a penopticon/surveillance/tracking agenda.
