An entrepreneur, broadcaster, and technologist with a deep skepticism of big tech, Simon Dingle’s journey has taken him from the early days of Luno (then BitX) and 22seven to his current focus on growing ZARP, a South African Rand stablecoin.
In this episode of the Business Unusual Podcast, host Ralf Fletcher sits down with Simon to explore the realities of stablecoins, navigating the global digital economy, why South Africa’s apartheid-era exchange controls are holding the country back, and how artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency intersect.
You’ll find out:
- Why nobody should claim to be an expert on AI
- Why you should be weary of people who claim to be able to predict the future
- The reason founders should get out of the way of their own business
- The critical role of authenticity in corporate storytelling, and why today’s highly engaged young talent cannot be managed with a traditional “coin-operated” mindset
