Ever feel like the financial world is constantly shifting beneath your feet? Between rapid technological advancements and whispers of systemic change, it can be hard to keep up. Recently, on the Jon Dowling podcast, a compelling conversation unfolded featuring Zester, a blockchain and cryptocurrency expert with nearly a decade of experience, who brought invaluable insights to the table. This wasn’t just theory; it was about the very foundations of our financial future, and what we need to know to navigate the coming transformation.
Zester began with a foundational refresher on blockchain technology, cutting through the jargon to explain its core power: a decentralized, immutable ledger that promises transparency and efficiency. But this isn’t just about future tech; it’s about what’s happening now.
The big looming date? November 22, 2025, and the imminent implementation of the ISO 20022 messaging standard. Zester stressed that this is a critical development for traditional banking. Crucially, he clarified a common misconception: ISO 20022 is a messaging standard, not a cryptocurrency or a token. It’s about how financial institutions talk to each other globally, paving the way for faster, more transparent, and more efficient transactions. This standard is set to accelerate blockchain adoption within traditional finance significantly.
But technology alone isn’t enough. The U.S. legislative landscape is playing catch-up, with the Clarity Act serving as a crucial precursor to the anticipated Bitcoin Act. Zester emphasized this bill’s vital role in establishing foundational rules and protections for cryptocurrency, mainstreaming it for the future financial system. He made it clear: these legislative steps are essential groundwork, setting the stage before the full adoption of blockchain-based financial systems and the expected revaluation of gold and precious metals.
Perhaps the most impassioned segment of the discussion revolved around Zester’s critique of current financial instruments. N***d shorting, leveraged trading, and derivatives were called out as fundamentally harmful and even “i*****l” practices. His argument is clear: these instruments don’t produce intrinsic value; instead, they primarily redistribute wealth from retail investors to financial institutions, creating systemic risk.
So, what does this all lead to? A profound financial transformation. The podcast episode highlighted the anticipated acceleration of blockchain adoption in banking (thanks to ISO compliance), the rising popularity of crypto-related ETFs, and the historical suppression of precious metals like gold and silver, which Zester believes will gain their true value once the new financial system is established.
Zester eloquently used the metaphor of building a “field of dreams” – a description of the painstaking legislative and technological groundwork being laid today. This groundwork is necessary before the financial system reset can be fully realized and truly benefit everyone, not just a select few.
Zester’s commitment extends beyond analysis; it’s about public education. Through his online platforms, he stresses the importance of knowledge and preparation for the coming financial transformation. This isn’t a passive event; it’s a transition that requires collective understanding and effort to navigate with minimal harm.
