The yearly Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is always full of surprises, and 2023’s was no different. The Talk Shop team attended the event, and one sector that caught our attention was Healthtech. With a host of new products on full display, these innovations have a major opportunity to change how we live and work.

After a four-day Odd-yssey (emphasis on odd) at Bitcoin 2022, our team took the largest Bitcoin event in history by storm. The phrase, “Bullish on Bitcoin” was never more evident than a showing with headliners like Serena Williams, Jordan Peterson and Peter Thiel. The event kicked off with an unveiling of a New York stock-exchange-inspired crypto bull. It was complete with NFT art galleries, an indoor volcano, epic parties and a musical music festival feel. Overall the four-day affair was a deep dive into the weird and wonderful.
