Using the complex but analytically defined expressions of the asymptotes, we can find a numerical fit of all material parameters by only giving the numerical values computed with Comsol Multiphysics® and the apparent mass density ρ of the unit cell. Note that we only use the cut-offs k = 0 and asymptotes k → ∞ for calculating the material parameters while the shape of the curves for intermediate values of k comes automatically. The routine is completely written with Mathematica allowing us to use symbolic calculations. The essential part of the fitting procedure uses the inbuilt algorithm NMinimize (with the Method RandomSearch) to minimize the mean square error of the asymptotes between the relaxed micromorphic model and the numerical values of the finite element approach in Comsol Multiphysics®. Therefore, in general, if a local minimum is found, it is not guaranteed that it corresponds to a global optimum as well. This paper is available on arxiv under CC BY 4.0 DEED license.

Semi-Analytical Algorithm for Metamaterial Parameter Fitting

When Cambridge Analytica imploded in 2018, they didn't just destroy a company, they revealed a multi-billion dollar market that everyone's too afraid to touch. Here's the uncomfortable truth about Cambridge Analytica: Their core idea wasn't just good – it was revolutionary. The problem wasn't what they built. It was how they built it. Think about it. What if you could map human consciousness at scale? What if you could understand not just what people do, but why they do it? What if you could help people understand themselves better while building the world's most valuable dataset? That's not dystopian. That's destiny. The Global Consciousness Hack isn't just about collecting data – it's about interpreting it. Here's where AI changes everything: imagine every psychological insight being processed, interpreted, and delivered in real time. We're not just building a database; we're creating an intelligence layer for humanity itself. But here's what everyone misses about the Cambridge Analytica story: They weren't thinking big enough. While they were busy manipulating elections, they missed the bigger play: creating a legitimate market for psychological insights that could transform humanity while printing money. Let's break down the real opportunity they missed: Paper Record: Basic device data, cookies, navigation patterns
Bronze Record: Personal demographics, the who
Silver Record: Psychographic data, the why
Gold Record: Engagement patterns, the how
Diamond Record: Behavioral data, the what Cambridge Analytica stopped at manipulation. They could have built an empire of illumination. Here's how Web3 changes everything: Zero-knowledge proofs protect privacy
Blockchain ensures transparency
Smart contracts automate consent
Tokens align incentives
Proof of Humanity ensures uniqueness Proof of Humanity doesn't just verify users – it verifies consciousness itself. Each psychological profile becomes a unique fingerprint of human awareness, impossible to fake or duplicate. One human, one consciousness map, infinite possibilities. The market isn't just ready. It's begging to be built. Three Markets, One Revolution: Corporate Intelligence: Imagine Nike understanding not just what shoes people buy, but the deep psychological drivers behind athleisure culture. Or Tesla mapping the psychographic evolution of sustainable consumers before their competitors even spot the trend.
Political Landscape 3.0: Move beyond basic voter demographics to understanding deep psychological currents shaping society. Not to manipulate – but to genuinely serve constituents' evolving needs. Create policies that resonate because they actually understand people's core drivers.
Mass Self-Awareness: The personal growth market meets data science. Users gain deep insights about themselves, unlock hidden potential, and contribute to a global map of human consciousness. Think Headspace meets Myers-Briggs but powered by Web3 and AI. Think bigger. Much bigger. As one testing platform whispered to another: "Cambridge Analytica's biggest crime was thinking too small." While they focused on manipulating votes, we're talking about elevating global consciousness. This isn't just Psychographics-as-a-Service – this is Consciousness-as-a-Service. Think about it: Companies spend billions understanding customers


Researchers need psychological data at scale


Individuals want self-knowledge


Society needs better understanding But here's the billion-dollar insight: The real value isn't in exploiting this data. It's in empowering it. Instead of manipulating behavior, what if we could enhance consciousness? Instead of targeting weaknesses, what if we could develop strengths? Instead of selling privacy, what if we could reward insight? Privacy in 2025: The Zero Knowledge Revolution Let's talk about the elephant in the room: privacy. But here's where 2025 changes everything. We're not just protecting privacy – we're making it mathematically impossible to violate it. The privacy stack of 2025 makes Cambridge Analytica's concerns obsolete: Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Verify insights without seeing data


Homomorphic Encryption: Process encrypted data without decrypting


Privacy-Preserving ML: AI insights without data exposure


Threshold Systems: No single point of privacy failure Think about what this means: We can verify psychological profiles, process behavioral patterns, and aggregate insights across millions of users without a single piece of personally identifiable information ever being exposed. When Cambridge Analytica harvested Facebook data, they needed your personal information. In 2025, we don't need it. We don't want it. And most importantly: we can't access it even if we wanted to. The playbook is simple: Users take psychological assessments
They own their data (and earn from it)
They control its use
They benefit from its insights
The market funds their growth And here's where AI transforms data into destiny: Raw psychological inputs become actionable insights
Pattern recognition across millions of consciousness maps
Personalized growth pathways generated in real-time
Collective consciousness trends identified and analyzed
Future potential paths predicted and optimized It's Cambridge Analytica's vision, but with: Privacy by design (no PII involved thanks to Zero-knowledge proofs)
User consent at core
Value distribution built in
Consciousness elevation as the goal The technology exists. The market exists. The need exists. So why isn't anyone building it? Simple: They're afraid of becoming the next Cambridge Analytica. But here's what they're missing: The next Cambridge Analytica won't be a scandal. It'll be a unicorn. Because this time, we have the tools to do it right. The real crime isn't building this market. It's leaving it unbuilt. Every day we wait: Valuable insights are lost


Human potential goes undeveloped


Billion-dollar opportunities evaporate

Advancing the Detection of Ultralight Vector Dark Matter through Novel Analytical Strategies

Developers can leverage advanced analytics tools to streamline and improve software, compliance, and internal controls auditing. Several novel solutions solve existing pain points, suggesting their effect on audit processes could be permanent. How Advanced Analytics Enhances Audit Processes Whether auditors review contracts, financial statements, code, or internal controls, their traditional techniques are tedious — and inherently inaccurate to some degree. Take sampling, for example, where they test a database subset. It is not uncommon for sampling portions to be trivial compared to the total population. For example, while testing 500,000 Amazon transactions may seem significant, it only accounts for 0.012% of the total — which may introduce unintended bias or errors, skewing audit process insights. Advanced analytics tools like artificial intelligence, complex event processing, and data mining enable 100% population testing because of their rapid processing capabilities. They eliminate the need for sampling, thereby reducing bias and error risks. These tools can also enhance fieldwork, risk assessment, document reviews, and report drafting. Autonomous technologies like AI are particularly beneficial since automation eliminates human error and increases quality. Moreover, they enable real-time data analysis or anomaly detection, streamlining processes. Examples of Successful Analytics-Based Auditing The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently leveraged advanced analytics for its audits. Since they are relatively rare, few people are audited yearly. While this undoubtedly benefits individuals, it creates persistent discrepancies and financial losses for the federal government. The U.S. Government Accountability Office reports that the IRS is using AI-powered tools to close the multi-billion dollar tax gap. It uses multiple models to audit select taxpayers and partnerships by selecting large representative samples of high-risk returns. This automation eliminates tedious manual processes, enabling federal employees to expand their scope. Many leading accounting firms have also seen success. For instance, PricewaterhouseCoopers has deployed AI auditing technology for financial procedure review to identify irregularities, enabling it to perform more in-depth analysis. Similarly, Ernst & Young uses natural language processing (NLP) technology to minimize the need for manual contract reviews. It detects anomalies during review and explains its findings, minimizing the risk of material misstatements. A human-in-the-loop validates its model’s output, offering expertise and context awareness to maximize precision. Deloitte developed an AI-powered chatbot named DARTbot for 18,000 audit employees, enabling real-time assistance. It provides source material alongside output, enhancing explainability and enabling auditing teams to analyze complex queries in greater detail. Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler — one of the largest global accounting firms — partnered with Mindbridge, an AI platform, to increase audit explainability. Its advanced rule-based and machine-learning technology integrates with the auditing platform KPMG Clara for real-time analysis. Consequently, its auditors gain more time to review high-risk items. What Technology Can Be Used to Improve Auditing? While many notable case studies revolve around financial, compliance, and consulting applications, this approach is also relevant for software auditing. Developers can leverage cutting-edge analytical tech to improve accuracy, explainability, and speed. 1. Data Visualization With data visualization, developers can convert databases into graphics, charts, and tables, enhancing vendor collaboration and providing clarity to auditees. Since tools like AI can process unstructured data, they are not bound to text-based format. 2. Complex Event Processing Since complex event processing analyzes numerous systems simultaneously in real-time, developers can detect software abnormalities swiftly. Consequently, pinpointing the source of issues becomes much more manageable. 3. Artificial Intelligence AI tools can accelerate most auditing processes because of their autonomous and rapid processing capabilities. Developers can even use generative models or algorithm-powered chatbots to rewrite code or suggest solutions for errors. The Benefits of Leveraging Advanced Analytical Tools Developers using advanced analytical tools benefit from being able to audit in real-time. Moreover, they can comprehensively review entire populations instead of sampling data. These benefits contribute to a more accurate, precise, and quality assessment.

These days, within minutes, seconds, or even . With streaming technologies, we no longer need to wait for scheduled batch jobs to see new data events. Real-time processing batch processing many businesses rely on data being available milliseconds Live dashboards are . updated automatically as new data comes in Despite all the benefits, to the overall data processes, tooling, and even data format. Therefore, it’s crucial to carefully weigh out the pros and cons of switching to real-time data pipelines. In this article, we’ll look at several options to with the and maintenance effort. real-time streaming adds a lot of additional complexity reap the benefits of a real-time paradigm least amount of architectural changes Traditional approach When you hear about real-time data pipelines, you may immediately start thinking about Apache Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, and similar frameworks which to operate a distributed event streaming platform. Those open-source platforms are best suited to scenarios: require a lot of knowledge - when you need to continuously ingest and process reasonably of real-time data, large amounts - when you anticipate and and you want to decouple their communication, multiple producers consumers - or when you want to own the underlying infrastructure, possibly ( ). on-prem e.g. compliance While many companies and services attempt to facilitate the management of underlying distributed clusters, the . Therefore, you need to consider: architecture still remains fairly complex - whether you have the , resources to operate those clusters - do you plan to process by using this platform, how much data - whether the added complexity is . worth the effort In the next sections, we’ll look at if your real-time needs don’t justify the and of a . alternative options added complexity costs self-managed distributed streaming platform Amazon Kinesis AWS realized the customer’s difficulties in managing . As a result, they came up with — a family of services that attempt to . By leveraging serverless , you can create a data stream with a few clicks in the AWS management console. Once you configured your estimated throughput and the number of shards, you can start implementing data producers and consumers. Even though Kinesis is serverless, you still need to monitor the message size and the number of shards to ensure that you don’t encounter any unexpected write throttles. message-bus architectures a long time ago (2013) Kinesis make real-time analytics easier Kinesis Data Streams In , you can find an example of a Kinesis producer ( ) sending data to a Kinesis data stream using a Python client, and how to continuously send micro-batches of data records to S3 ( ) by leveraging a delivery stream. my previous article source consumer/destination Kinesis Data Firehose Alternatively, to consume data from Kinesis Data Stream, we could: - aggregate and analyze data with , Kinesis Data Analytics - use Apache Flink to . send this data into Amazon Timestream The main benefits of using Kinesis Data Streams as compared to sending data directly to your desired application are and . Kinesis allows you to within the stream for up to and have that would receive data at the same time. This means that if a new application would need to collect the same data, you could add a new consumer to the process. This new consumer would not affect other data consumers or producers thanks to decoupling on the Kinesis architecture level. latency decoupling store data seven days multiple consumers Amazon Timestream As mentioned in the previous section, the . If you don’t need multiple applications that would regularly consume data from the stream, you could considerably streamline the process by using Amazon Timestream — a allowing you to analyze data in ( ) real-time. The underlying architecture is smart enough to for fast retrieval of real-time data, and then it automatically moves “old” data to cheaper long-term storage according to the specified retention period. major advantage of Kinesis is decoupling serverless time-series data store near ingest data first into an in-memory store Why would you use a time-series database for real-time data? Any new data record comes into the at a particular time. You may be tracking price changes over time, sensor measurements, logs, CPU utilization — practically . Therefore, it makes sense to consider using a time series database such as Timestream. The simplicity of the service makes it very appealing, especially if you would like to use SQL to retrieve data for analytics. stream any real-time streaming data is some sort of a time series When comparing the SQL interface of Timestream against the one available in Kinesis Data Analytics, Timestream is a clear winner. Kinesis SQL is quite obscure and introduces a lot of specific vocabulary. In contrast, Timestream provides an intuitive SQL interface with many useful built-in time-series functions, making time-based aggregation ( ) much easier. ex. minutely or hourly time buckets Side note: don’t use semicolons at the end of your queries in Timestream. If you do, you’ll get an error. Demo: Real-time ingestion into Timestream using Python To demonstrate how Timestream works, we’ll be sending cryptocurrency price changes into a Timestream table. Let’s start by creating a Timestream database and table. We can do all that either from the AWS management console or from AWS CLI: The above code should create a in your AWS region. Make sure that you use one of the in which Timestream is available. database regions Side note: The easiest way to find available regions for any AWS service is to check the pricing page: https://aws.amazon.com/timestream/pricing/ . Now we can create a . You need to specify your in-memory and magnetic store retention period. table Our database and table are created. Now we can get the latest price data from the . This AP provides many useful endpoints to get the latest information about a cryptocurrency market. We will focus on getting real-time price data for selected cryptocurrencies. Cryptocompare API We’ll get data in the following format: {‘BTC’: {‘USD’: 34406.27}, ‘DASH’: {‘USD’: 178.1}, ‘ETH’: {‘USD’: 2263.64}, ‘REP’: {‘USD’: 26.6}} Additionally, we need to convert this data to the proper Timestream format with a column, , and . Here is the full script that we can use to ingest new data every 10 seconds: . time measures dimensions https://gist.github.com/d00b8173d7dbaba08ba785d1cdb880c8 That’s it! The most time-consuming part is the definition of your dimensions and measures (lines 21–44). You should be about the : with Timestream you can only query data from a single table. No JOINS between tables are allowed. Therefore, it’s important to think ahead about your access patterns before you start ingesting data into Timestream. careful design of your measures and dimensions Here is how the data looks like in the end. Note that the ingestion time is presented in UTC: AWS Timestream: exploring the results in the query console — image by author We could now easily connect Timestream to Grafana for near real-time visualization. But that’s a story for another article. Never-ending script In the Timestream example above, running in a single process, we used a defined using while True. This is a common approach for a simple service ingesting data all the time, typically running as a background process or a service in a container orchestration platform. never-ending loop Minutely scheduled jobs An alternative to a continuously running script is a . The benefit of this approach is that it allows you to , which simplifies your architecture. You can think of it as a reversed Kappa architecture: while Kappa processes batch in the same way as real-time data ( ), this approach “batchifies” real-time data streams ( ) into micro-batches. service that is scheduled to run every minute treat this near real-time process as a batch job streaming-first approach batch-first approach Instead of while True, we now still ingest data roughly every 10 seconds but the actual process is executed once per minute, allowing us to track which runs were successful, and does not depend on the health of a single job run: There is no “right” or “wrong” approach. The main purpose of this method is to treat near real-time ingestion as a batch job. Here is a full Gist: . https://gist.github.com/d953cdbc6edbf8b224815cc5d8b53f73 Which option should you choose? The following questions may help you to make the right decision for your use case: - Which do you want to solve using real-time streaming: is it anomaly detection, alerting, product recommendation, dynamic pricing algorithm, tracking current market prices, understanding user behavior? Having a specific use case in mind can help you determine the right tool for the job, especially because there are a lot of specialized tools on the market. problem(s) - Which is acceptable in your use case? Is it OK if your data is available for analytics 1 minute after the event or stream has been received? Or on the contrary, you need a millisecond latency because otherwise, this data will no longer be actionable? latency - How many ( ) do you have to keep your platform operational? Does it make sense to spin up your own Kafka cluster, use some managed service, or maybe a serverless option such as Amazon Kinesis or Amazon Timestream can address your needs? resources employees and budget - How do you plan to and the health of your data streams? monitor observe - How much would be needed to teach your team how to use this specific platform? training - Which would need to be ingested in real-time, i.e. ? data sources data producers - What is the ( ) from which you would want to retrieve this data, i.e. ? And how do you want to retrieve this data — via SQL, Python, or perhaps only via analytical dashboards? target datastore data lake, data warehouse, specific database data consumers - In which way ( ) would you want to process this data? Is Kappa, , or other architecture worth considering to ? architecture-wise Lambda distinguish between real-time and batch Conclusion Ultimately, it depends on the problem that you try to solve using real-time processing technologies, the scale of your problem, and available resources. In many scenarios, a simple minutely batch job may be sufficient. It allows having a single architecture for all data processing needs, and data available within few minutes or even seconds after its generation. For other scenarios, Kinesis Data Streams or Amazon Timestream may provide simple yet effective means to add (near) real-time capabilities with very little maintenance effort. Lastly, if you do have employees who know how to operate Kafka, Flink, or Spark Streams, those can be helpful if you want to own your infrastructure and not being reliant on cloud providers. As always, thinking about the problem at hand will help assess the trade-offs and make the best decision for your use case.

Real-Time Data Processing for  Analytical Use Cases: Is it Worth it?

Emerging low-code development platforms enable Data Science teams to derive analytical insights from Big Data quickly. As organizations become proficient in capturing, storing, and analyzing data from multiple sources, they are discovering previously untapped business opportunities. This has been possible with the help of which has been enabling the companies to make smarter, data-driven decisions, as well as build & deploy Big Data solutions faster. The challenge, however, is that the same services are not yet available at the mid-sized or smaller companies often due to the lack of Data Science professionals. Data Science Enter Low-code development With graphical user interfaces and configuration, the Low-Code technology allows non-tech professionals to enter the world of development. They can build applications with no prerequisite knowledge of coding or other database management services. Gartner the global Low-Code Tech market to burgeon by 23% in the year 2021. forecasts How does this work for Data Scientists? platforms enable Data Science teams to derive analytical insights from Big Data quickly. With the co-existence of an array of features like Visual Modelling, Real-time monitoring & reporting, and Cross-platform accessibility among others, the low-code creates templates that replace any repetitive code structure, reducing the load from the algorithms. Low-code development This adds value to the work of developers and data scientists & accelerates the decision-making process. They can then focus on constructing information perceptions, structuring big data projects, or creating new products. Leveraging Low Code for Big Data Analytics: The data is still the data, but the ways of getting insights are continuing to improve. The use of Artificial Neural Networks like Machine learning in automating Big Data solutions has augmented exponential growth in the Digital economy. However, with a long & expensive deployment process, organizations are moving towards Low-Code programming for . Big Data Analytics With this, they needn’t rely on stressed data scientists for their acumen to extract insights from structured & unstructured data— to enhance business deftness. This synergistic relationship between the data scientists & those who aren’t programmatically inclined in the organization can foster more data work in a quicker amount of time without any compromise on data analysis. Furthermore, as much as Low-Code programming is ideal for non-tech professionals, it can also be used by data scientists to build data prototyping efficiently. Lastly, while low-code techniques may not replace traditional methods instantaneously, they can help less experienced as well as professional data scientists, in uncovering analytical solutions.

Low-Code Development Helps Data Scientists Uncover Analytical Insights

Preventing fraudulent transactions online is a cumbersome process for all the parties involved. With the digital payment ecosystem expanding each year, new technologies and companies develop innovative ways to detect fraudulent transactions in real-time. In an online ecosystem where trust between the parties is deficient - new-age technologies are waiting to disrupt the ecosystem. Artificial intelligence-based training algorithms are successfully flagging and resolving fraudulent transactions in real-time. I sat down with Nimrod Lehavi, Co-founder and CEO at Simplex, to discuss how new-age technologies are changing the digital payments ecosystem. Hi Nimrod, welcome to our “Behind the Startup” series. Tell us about yourself and the story behind Simplex? Ishan Pandey: I began my entrepreneurial career in the 90’s as a self-taught software developer. I’m a hacker at my core and I enjoy finding solutions to new and challenging problems. After 15 years of running my own software development business, solving complex business problems for many companies in various sizes and verticals, I stumbled upon The Bitcoin Whitepaper (the manifesto of Bitcoin, for any readers not familiar) and was charmed by it. No solution existed that allowed me to buy bitcoin with my credit card, and in general, it was constrained. I knew I wanted to do something new in this exciting young ecosystem, So I decided to make bitcoin accessible, in 2014 Simplex was born. Today I lead over a hundred of Simplex employees throughout the world as we work alongside our vast partner network to drive enablement and advance the ecosystem, helping anyone, anywhere, securely on-ramp, anyway. Nimrod Lehavi: How is fraud prevention different in crypto compared to processing payments for traditional credit card companies? Ishan Pandey: Fraud prevention differs between verticals, but it’s incredibly complex when it comes to crypto. The crypto space is unique in being truly global, 24/7/365 and that many who fall prey to fraud don’t even know it. It’s as much about identifying that users are aware of what they’re doing as it is weeding out real fraudsters. Fraud prevention warrants a lot of creative and analytical thinking always to stay two steps ahead of scammers, and it’s incredibly dynamic. We leverage a combination of skilled analysts and AI to detect all types of fraud at their earliest stages and annihilate them. Nimrod Lehavi: For new users, on-ramping is a confusing and complicated process. How is crypto on-ramping being democratized? Ishan Pandey: Excellent question. Crypto on-ramping has not traditionally been easy and I believe that the simpler we can make the process of on-ramping, the more the ecosystem will grow. On-ramping has been making steps toward democratization since we first pioneered methods for entering the ecosystem using credit or debit cards. We’ve now gone beyond credit or debit cards to enable uniquely large and flexible purchases across our partner network with our Banking solution. Leveraging Simplex Banking, our partners can allow users to on-ramp with any fiat anywhere globally, making giant leaps towards mass crypto adoption. Nimrod Lehavi: What problems do you see that still need to be tackled when it comes to Cryptocurrency On-Ramps and Off-Ramps? Ishan Pandey: Given the recent Bitcoin Boom, more users will be looking for a seamless way to off-ramp using rails that they are already comfortable with. The knowledge that it is just as easy to off-ramp, or utilize crypto earnings, as it is to on-ramp has been proven to increase the number of on-ramps in a given exchange. As a community, we need to continue working to ensure that crypto funds are easily accessible to the mass market. Nimrod Lehavi: Fraud prevention and management is a massive problem for exchanges, brokers, wallets, etc. What technologies and protocols are you deploying for preventing fraudulent transactions? Ishan Pandey: We are always vigilant to new fraud trends and strategies to protect our partners and their users. As fraud is an incredibly dynamic threat, we are continually expanding our fraud prevention technologies and protocols. An example of a protocol we employ is identifying user patterns and building a user story to see if the patterns of behaviour fit the user profile. By triangulating data and leveraging both advanced AI and seasoned analysts, we can build a profile of each user to make a timely, yet informed, judgment call, protecting our users and partners from fraud. Nimrod Lehavi: What new fraudulent and sophisticated techniques are you seeing being deployed by scammers? Ishan Pandey: Unfortunately, the panic surrounding COVID-19 launched a wave of fraud schemes. For example, some scammers encouraged the transfer of crypto funds in exchange for the sale of masks (which they never received), others included fraudulent CDC emails that facilitated the transfer of funds to invest in a COVID cure, among others. Ponzi schemes involving cryptocurrency amounted to billions last year, and scammers are moving beyond email to use social media platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, to promote their scams. When faced with an email or request, I encourage users to always look into a company before working with it and do their due diligence to make sure they are familiar with crypto concepts and what is being asked of them. Nimrod Lehavi: What advice would you give to a startup that wants to put measures for fraud detection and prevention in place? Ishan Pandey: It’s essential to have a well-prepared and trained team who are well-versed in all there is to know about fraud types and prevention. It’s also crucial to have up-to-date and sophisticated protective measures and checks in place to ensure that you are always one step ahead of the scammers. But what makes the difference is developing a profound understanding of your market, and putting yourselves in the shoes of the other side, trying to “think like the bad guys” and preempt the scams before they occur. Nimrod Lehavi: Do you think that being based in Israel, which is a global leader in cybersecurity, gives you a competitive edge as compared to others? Ishan Pandey: Being based in Israel is part of our DNA. As a company born out of the need to make crypto accessible, that mission continues to underscore and lead the company. In true, StartUp Nation fashion, we pride ourselves on being a talented and passionate group that works together to create unique solutions for difficult problems. Our team comes with a vast background in cybersecurity, finance, and defence, and brings years of quick and decisive problem-solving to join together and create something meaningful. However, the diversity of our team and values of problem-solving are not limited to our Israel office, and this culture permeates throughout our office in Europe as well. Nimrod Lehavi: What technology and trends are you looking at, which can disrupt our society? Ishan Pandey: I believe crypto has a lot to offer to the world: a lasting impact on our financial systems hence on society, a real change in the infrastructure of the economy and financial services. Our goal always has and will always be to democratize crypto accessibility and adoption for everyone. Nimrod Lehavi: I see the crypto ecosystem as a potential alternative financial ecosystem; fast, innovative, secure, and transparent. If indeed globally accessible, think about how that can impact the world. No matter the regime one may find themself in, they will be able to take hold of their finances and not be subject to others’ whims. From our Banking solution, all of our products to our Principal Membership with Visa are geared to enable our partners to offer anyone, anywhere access to purchase, anyway. As we enter into 2021, we will be focusing our efforts on making crypto even more accessible to anyone, anywhere, throughout our trusted partner network.
