About this listen
‘Crypto', a loose term that means many things to different people, only entered the public consciousness within the last five years or so, now evident by the volume of public discussion, commentary and analysis spread across every conceivable media outlet. Cryptography has been around for millennia, but Bitcoin only arose in 2009, and it was the spark that has taken crypto from a small group of enthusiasts into a many-tentacled creature, now attaching itself to an astonishing number of projects across all manner of applications, challenging both public and private power centres and long-established norms as it spreads. Starting with the emergence of cryptocurrencies, a whole new host of life-forms have emerged–NFTs, the metaverse, Defi, Web3 and DAOs–all of them changing the very notion of ownership.
It's Mine digs into the history and concept of ‘ownership', which ecosystems nurture it, and where we are now. Filled with anecdotes, observations and interviews, the book takes an entertaining and accessible look at how Bitcoin made its mark, how its technology is being re-purposed to enable a revolution, and (in non-technical terms) how it all works. It explores how these new crypto ‘life-forms' will interact with the rest of the virtual and physical world, while making some very rich and some very poor.
'Future historians may well look back on "It's Mine" and wonder at such a heuristic prescience gilded with clarity, style, and grace' Josh Rosenthal, US historian, podcaster, public intellectual, educator, serial entrepreneur
'Sidley explains clearly and persuasively how our rights and identities are being changed and challenged by technologies of our own making' Bronwyn Williams, futurist, economist partner at Flux Trends and Metanomic and author of The Future Starts Now

Story
When André de Ruyter took over as Eskom CEO in January 2020, he quickly realised why it was considered the toughest job in South Africa. Aside from neglected equipment, ageing power stations and an eroded skills base, he discovered that Eskom was crippled by corruption on a staggering scale. De Ruyter takes the listener inside the boardrooms and government meetings where South Africa’s future is shaped, with ministers often pulling in conflicting directions, and candidly reflects on his three years at the power utility.

The NFT market has exploded over the past years, reaching over $12 billion in sales in 2021, and it’s expected to grow even further. Whether you want to be an investor, creator, or both, you will first need to understand what you’re getting into. For all the press that NFTs get, they’re still widely misunderstood. And that misunderstanding could spell the difference between hitting the jackpot with your NFTs…and losing a lot of money.

If you had bought and held unto $100 of bitcoin in 2010, you would have approximately $41,000,000 today in February 2022! Those are astronomical gains, but most people didn’t know about bitcoin at that time or understand that it's the future of money. Even today, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and binance coin sound like unintelligible concepts; concepts that only the “experts” - the computer geeks - can understand and take advantage of.
