On this week’s episode of the Unhashed Podcast: Bitcoin Maximalists like Jameson Lopp and Alena Vranova are shilling an Ethereum compliance coin that they are advisors on. Is this a hypocrisy that calls into question their whole reputation or a big nothing burger (or something in the middle)?
Location: SkypeDate: Tuesday, 26th NovProject: Premier Ark LLCRole: ManagerWhen Bitcoin is held on an exchange or with another 3rd party custodian, that 3rd party owns the Bitcoin, they have control of the private keys and can they have the ability to use it as they choose. As the customer to that custodian, all you have is the promise of that Bitcoin.One of the core fundamentals of Bitcoin is that it allows you to become self-sovereign; so is adding a layer of trust to a trustless system antithetical to what it was designed to do?On the anniversary of Bitcoin’s genesis block Trace Mayer’s Proof of Keys campaign encourages everyone to take control of their Bitcoin and remove it from these 3rd party custodians. Not only does this encourage everyone to control their private keys, but it also ‘stress tests’ the exchanges and offers proof that they are running fully reserved.In this interview, I talk to Trace about his Proof of Keys campaign, exchange hackings, claiming your monetary sovereignty and stress testing custodians.-----Connect with Trace:- On Twitter @TraceMayer- On LinkedIn- On Medium- On CrunchBase- His website: https://www.tracemayer.net/- The Bitcoin Knowledge Podcast- Proof of KeysMentioned in the interview:- Hackers liquidated 3.2 million from Cryptopia hack- Hacked Cryptocurrency Exchange Cryptopia Goes Into Liquidation- The History of the Mt Gox Hack: Bitcoin’s Biggest Heist- The Strange Tale of Quadriga- BlockFi- Celsius Network- Genesis Capital- Executive Order 6102- Coinbase move 5% of all Bitcoin- Reddit thread on Mimblewimble and Extension Blocks with Pieter Wuille- Mimblewimble- Bitcoin WhitepaperOther relevant WBD podcasts:- WBD158: Be Your Own Banker with Pascal Gauthier- WBD153: Trace Mayer on Claiming Your Monetary Sovereignty with Bitcoin- WBD127: Saifedean Ammous on Understanding Bitcoin Economics- WBD058: Trace Mayer on Why You Must Own Your Bitcoin Private Keys- WBD042: Casa's Jeremy Welch and Alena Vranova on Crypto Custody-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | Deezer | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

In this panel, recorded at the Oslo Freedom Forum 2019, I moderated what an attendee described as a "lively" discussion on the relationship between finances and freedom with Bitcoin author and educator Jimmy Song; Alena Vranova, Head of Strategy at Casa; and Coin Center founder Jerry Brito. We talked about what it's like to live under a regime where people don't have a lot of financial freedom, how the move to a cashless society is leading to a surveillance state, and how we're seeing the emergence of a corporate surveillance state. We talked about how cryptocurrency could bring us more financial freedom, how crypto is/should be regulated, privacy coins and the imminent Financial Action Task Forces rules that require crypto exchanges and other services send each other information on customers for each transaction. Plus, we discuss bad state actors using crypto.

How Polychain is faring during the crypto winter, where we are in the tech cycle, whether he thinks Ethereum 2.0 will deliver and how he views the competition in the smart contract space. We discuss the upcoming Facebook coin, what that might look like, and how his portfolio projects could compete against a token issued by a large company. We cover how regulatory uncertainty is affecting the development of crypto projects, what he thinks of the fact that some trends in the DeFi movement seem to mimic the risks leading up to the financial contract, why he's so excited about MakerDAO, what he makes of its difficulties keeping its USD peg, and why Tether hasn't lost its dollar peg despite being only 74% backed. Plus, we talked about how decentralized autonomous corporations could someday come into being, and what he thinks of on-chain governance systems today. Join us at the Oslo Freedom Forum! On May 27th I will be hosting a conversation about the future of finance and human rights at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway.

Sharon Goldberg, CEO of Arwen and Boston University computer science professor, describes how the protocol enables people to trade on crypto exchanges without making their coins vulnerable to exchange hacks, how this differs from trading on a decentralized exchange, and how Arwen would function if the exchange you were using on was hacked during a trade. She also discusses how Arwen works with any custody solution, how they choose which coins to support and what other features they are considering adding in the future.

Phil Chen, decentralized chief officer of HTC, discusses the upcoming model of the Exodus, why it will feature a full Bitcoin node, what's in it for the user, whether or not it will affect the performance of other apps on the phone and whether HTC would ever add mining capabilities for the phone. We cover how the phone also functions as a hardware wallet, how private keys are kept safe, and how they are recovered if the user loses their phone. Plus, he describes who the ideal user is and how having so many crypto features built into the phone could change how people interact with their devices.

Alena Vranova, Strategy at Casa, Inc. Welcome to the second episode of OG Crypto Series on LAB Radio, with the very talented, Alena Vranova, currently heading up Strategy at Casa Inc. There is no doubt that she is an OG in the world of Crypto and Blockchain. For those of you that don't know her past, she was pivotal to the formation of Satoshi Labs, TREZOR hardware wallet and Slush Pool to name a few. Alena and I first met in August 2015 after the Keynote 2015 event in Los Angeles at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. We had some mutual friends in the space already and we instantly connected. I vividly recall how much positivity and good energy she gave off. After a business success, Alena likes to take some time to scan the field and find out what is calling to her next. And after leaving Satoshi Labs, she eventually landed at Casa, Inc. In this episode you will hear about why she chose Casa and how Casa's solutions are powering a safer and more user friendly environment for Bitcoin users. Other things you will learn during this episode: What is the latest from Prague? And why it's a great place for crypto & blockchain innovation The importance of building strong personal connections in a business setting Her advice to entrepreneurs in the crypto and blockchain space Inclusion, Diversity and Global Mentality perspectives If she could change one thing about the industry, what would it be? Alena is one the rare gems in this world, so if you ever get a chance to speak with her, do it. Her passion is obvious and she brings a great intensity to the table. She's also very cognizant of the position she is in now and how much good she can bring into the world. In this episode, you will also find out what the younger version of herself might think about where she is now. Alena says the most important skill to have in business is "Listening". So we hope you enjoy the episode. Further Reading and Resources Casa Inc.| Website | LinkedIn | Twitter | Alena Vranova, Strategy @ Casa, Inc.| Twitter | LinkedIn |

I met Alena Vranova at the Israel Bitcoin Summit in Tel Aviv in January 2019. We talked about how she got into Bitcoin, why user experience is the most important factor for user adoption, why she wants her Mom to use Bitcoin, about her hopes that the Lightning Network - as a global financial network - is about to explode in 2019. We discuss how TREZOR, the hardware wallet manufacturer she co-founded, and CASA, where she is the Head of Business Development and Strategy, support the security of sovereign hodlers. ---------- more: https://bitcoinundco.com/en/alena-vranova ---------- Special offers for my listeners from my sponsors: Card Wallet - the safest cold storage solution.

Welcome to our flashback series where we give you access to archived shows on our feed that are so outdated you can’t find it on our feed anymore. With crypto being so unpredictable, we thought it would be fun for our new listeners to check out episodes of our older content. It’s like opening up a time capsule! Originally aired in February 2016, Episode 38 focused on the question of “how to store your bitcoins” which leads to one of the most important decisions for a Bitcoin user to make. But like Reading Rainbow, you don’t have to take our word for it. Joining us this week is Alena Vranova, business developer, Co-founder of SatoshiLabs, and the creator of TREZOR. She chatted with us about crypto, economy, security, questions of life, everything! It’s a good listen. You know what to do.

Interview location: SkypeInterview date: Saturday 27th OctoberCompany: CasaRole: Founder (Jeremy Welch), Strategy (Alena Vranova)As the value of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies increase, custody has become an increasingly important and sophisticated part of self-sovereignty. The freedom and ease at which cryptocurrencies can be transferred also makes them a honeypot for hackers, coupled with immutable records, there is little recourse should your funds be stolen.People hold their cryptocurrencies in a variety of wallets, from paper to hardware but these still expose vulnerabilities. From lost seed phrases to personal attacks, there is a demand in the market for more sophisticated custody solutions, and Casa is leading the way in developing the space.With their central three-of-five management solution, Casa has targeted those with significant portfolios, but with the release of their Bitcoin full node and lightning node they are opening up options to more customers.In this interview, I talk with Casa founder, Jeremy Welch and strategy lead, Alena Vranova (previously Trezor) about how the Casa solution works, the challenges of managing custody and why design is central to everything they do.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.
This week we chat a bit about the Bitcoin 'Breakthrough' which claims block size increase is possible without hard fork. Some dub it a "breakthrough," others call it a "network attack." In addition we chat about the Czech Republic (Prague) being at the top in the world with the number of (CryptoATM's per Inhabitants). Oh, and SOulja Boy's new bitcoin song. Spoiler alert: It's garbage! For our guest, we are incredibly excited to welcome Alena Vranova back to the show as Head of Strategy and Business Development for Casa. Alena is best known as the co-founder of SatoshiLabs and Trezor. She served as CEO of SatoshiLabs for 4 years, where they brought the first widely successful bitcoin hardware wallet to market. She is, quite frankly, a legend in the crypto space and we couldn’t be happier to learn from her this episode.
Show support appreciated: 35iDYDYqRdN2x6KGcpdV2W1Hy3AjGje9oL Matthew & Fernando interview Alena Vranova, co-founder and former CEO of Satoshi Labs and Trezor, and co-founder of the newly announced group supporting Bitcoin, 'The B.' Alena and many prominent people in Bitcoin unveiled 'The B' this past weekend in Riga at the Baltic Honeybadger 2018 Bitcoin Conference.

Former Satoshi Labs CEO Alena Vranova shares how the first hardware wallet was created and what is coming next.
Coming back to the show, Alena Vranova will no longer serve as the CEO of SatoshiLabs. In her first media appearance since that decision, we dive into what is next for her. Alena will start working independently and will focus exclusively on her new business ideas related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The main plan for the first half of 2017 is to develop the TREZOR 2 into a full product, ready to ship to you! BUT, that ain't what we's about this week.
The question of "how to store your bitcoins" leads to one of the most important decisions for a Bitcoin user to make. Keeping your private keys strictly offline used to require two computers until Trezor came along and made cold storage easy and affordable. But like Reading Rainbow, you don't have to take our word for it. Joining us this week is Alena Vranova, creator of TREZOR. She chatted with us about crypto, economy, security, questions of life, everything! It's a good listen. You know what to do.
