At EarthX 2025, Conscious Capital Foundation’s Storyteller, Ernest White II, engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Sara Jacobi. The conversation centers on a revolutionary concept for the future of finance and sustainability: generating value from in-ground assets without resorting to ecosystem destruction.

In this excerpt, Sara sheds light on the high environmental and financial toll of traditional mining, noting that excavation alone can reach approximately $100 million before processing even starts. She then introduces her “new play” on conventional banking. This approach leverages cryptocurrency as a means to broaden access to gold while committing to “not harm the earth,” with the ultimate goal of establishing “the earth the bank.”

To fully grasp the larger vision, the inherent tradeoffs, and the potential implications for real-world assets in a rapidly evolving economy, be sure to watch the complete conversation.
