There's a dark side to the emerging token economy.
Tokens are becoming the base of your business's Maslow pyramid. The thing that everything else depends on. When they stop, everything stops. And you don't control the supply.
We made this fun short to call out very serious Token Anxiety. It’s a symptom of the realization that tokens are THE new mission-critical resource on your risk register. One that most enterprises haven't planned for.
So what's the play? Hybrid strategies? Multiple suppliers? Hope?

If we dont trust the service providers then what happens to the cloud ecosystems? In this episode, the Cloud2030 team really got into what will cause transformation of the industry at a broad scale, what the triggers were, what the motivations are, and and sort of why it would happen.
And we did it talking about things like Bitcoin and trust and security and economics. So it was really well rounded discussion. And the punchline is that we think government changes, economic changes. geopolitical issues, are potentially big disruptors in this case, and hard to predict. And potentially other hardware innovations or things that the cost people lose faith or confidence in the way things are, could cause very rapid change.
