"Cyrpto" is a term applied to a broad range of products and services from digital currencies, to blockchains, to new forms of contracts and art called Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs. In this episode we talk with long time crypto-journalist Bailey Reutzel about how all of these things work and where they fit into the world of payments. We talk about the history of bitcoin and whether or not it will ever become a true currency. We cover whether or not blockchains are as useful as they seem, and we look at what NFTs are and how they can be used.

Regulation is a topic that makes many crypto enthusiasts sick to their stomachs, but CoinDesk's Aaron Stanley and Amy Davine Kim, the chief policy officer at The Chamber of Digital Commerce, take you on a whirlwind journey through a new set of rules governing crypto exchanges created by a powerful intergovernmental organization. This episode is sponsored by ErisX, The Stellar Development Foundation and Grayscale Digital Large Cap Investment Fund.Government regulators call the standards for regulating cryptocurrencies that were published in June of last year, nicknamed the Travel Rule, just recommendations. But, really, they're not voluntary. They're rules every crypto exchange must follow or suffer the consequences. Released by the Financial Action Task Force, a powerful intergovernmental organization that focuses on combating money laundering and terrorist financing, these standards were the topic of conversation on the latest episode of CoinDesk Live: Lockdown Edition. During the conversation, CoinDesk's Aaron Stanley and Amy Davine Kim, the chief policy officer at The Chamber of Digital Commerce, had an exciting discussion on regulation (seems like an oxymoron). Kim outlined what the rules mean for crypto businesses and users alike as the deadline for compliance nears next month although Kim believes an extension might be issued because of the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. Other topics include: What's a FATF? It's the Financial Action Task Force and you need to be aware of its recommendations. What do those recommendations mean for crypto businesses? Hint: More compliance. Why have these recommendations proven quite complicated for crypto businesses to comply with? What's up with the recommendations being nicknamed the Travel Rule? Is this one of those QWERTY keyboard situations where it's the first and so will be used extensively even though it may not be the best layout? How regulators are struggling to govern these new crypto systems Why regulators are fixated on counterparties Any cost/benefit analysis to assess the burden of the recommendations? China's reaction to FATF recommendationsHow the COVID-19 crisis and subsequent lockdowns might affect FATF Do U.S. exchanges have a leg up on complying with these rules? Why the Libra "cryptocurrency" project, jump-started by Facebook, continues to get draggedCountries that are going about complying with FATF the right way and those that are doing it wrongKey FATF developments to watchSolutions that are being built to help exchanges comply with the recommendations It might not seem like it but relations have improved between regulators and crypto companies Plus, there was some shameless, shameless plugging of our upcoming, completely virtual Consensus: Distributed conference, May 11-15, because the lineup is stacked!

Our digital personas are becoming the primary way we interact with the world, particularly during this worldwide pandemic. But we only see a tiny bit of the information being captured while we’re online, and we rarely know what our personal data is being used for. While the majority of our economy is related to our personal data, there’s no interface to help us understand what we actually look like to data collectors and their customers.Welcome to a reboot of CoinDesk Live: Lockdown Edition, a livestream series in which CoinDesk journalists and virtual audience members chat with speakers from Consensus: Distributed, our first virtual conference May 11-15.

Bitcoin has passed $13,000 in value, and is now acting as a digital asset. But with the spike in value, many people are wondering if this is a bubble or just the beginning. Brett King hosts four guests: Brian Roemmele, founder of PayFinders.com; Bailey Reutzel, U.S. editor of Coindesk; Gabe Sukenik, founder of Morph Token; and Suleman Din, technology editor at American Banker and Financial Planning.
Bailey Reutzel is an independent freelance journalist covering the intersection of finance, culture and technology. She started writing about bitcoin in early 2013 for American Banker and PaymentsSource and has since become one of the leading journalists covering cryptocurrency, blockchain … Continue reading →
Bailey Reutzel, a journalist/freelancer, talks about various controversial topics of the bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and blockchain universe. Even though, ironically, what was once a distributed, equitable and ‘fight-the-man' libertarian-inspired concept (bitcoin and cryptocurrency) has now become a hotbed of politics, censorship, and infighting online. Regardless, Bailey Reutzel, being a journalist, goes in deep to find the answers to questions and debates few want to talk about. From the bitcoin block size debate to finding the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, she shares her thoughts and opinions regarding the political side of the Crypto World. Having traveled 48 states in search of answers to how people feel about cryptocurrency, blockchain and bitcoin itself, Bailey has a unique perspective on what people think and know (often nothing) about these technolgies.

Today we welcome Bailey Reutzel to Liberty Entrepreneurs. Bailey was one of the first financial reporter to cover bitcoin, before banks would even acknowledge its existence. She just finished a six month, 48 state road trip and wrote an article about each state's financial and economic culture. To get an idea of what Bailey wanted to accomplish during MoneyTripping, her road trip, check out the Atlantic article featuring her below: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/09/financial-alternatives-post-recession-living/404995/ You can connect with Bailey at: Her Blog: http://moneytripping.com/ - over 50 blog posts from her road trip Twitter @BLR13 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bailey.reutzel As a reporter for American Banker and Payment Source, Bailey broke some big early stories, and was one of the lone voices reporting on bitcoin to the banking sector. Bitcoin has mostly been seen as a consumer application, so Bailey reporting for a trade publication is quite unique. You can find an archive of her reporting here: http://www.americanbanker.com/authors/bailey-reutzel-1627.html She currently writes freelance for Coindesk frequently – you can find her recent work here: http://www.coindesk.com/author/baileyreutzel/ Favorite Quotes from the podcast: On Bitcoin versus private permissioned ledgers: “I think a lot of these private permissioned blockchains, it is still yet to been if they can pull this off. Because everything is in pilot or proof of concept phases, and so the bitcoin community has an angle there to say were the only ones up and running, and we've been up and running since 2008.” On covering early Bitcoin companies: “And a bunch of companies that I covered that covered back in the day are no longer around, and it's not necessarily because they were bad companies, it was because they were too soon, they were before regulation, and once regulation hit, it was like 'Oh shit, what do we do now?'” After making a name for herself in the bitcoin payment reporting space, Bailey moved to London. There she met a group of anarchist squatters in London – who further motivated her to go out and do her own thing. She met guys like Brett Scott http://skepchick.org/2014/03/bitcoin-101-with-brett-scott/ and Dave Birch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccTA2J1QcBM. Amongst the London squatters: “There was a huge group also talking about the history of money, predominantly because bitcoin is a thing. Let's go back, why is bitcoin a thing now? Does that say anything about money's past, or money's future? That was the initial underlying of MoneyTripping, the road trip.” An intense road trip - three days per state: “As the road trip went on, it just became more and more of a vacation. Where I am just going to do whatever I want. And I think that actually turned into better work. To financially make MoneyTripping happen, Bailey saved up some money, and did some freelance journalism on the side. She also earned $1500 in tips, mostly through Paypal, but some bitcoin tips. She started MoneyTripping with $8,000, and in all spent about $12k, living frugally. Half of the spending was on gas. To cap off the trip, she drove back into Missouri with $300 in her account. Could iy have something to do with the Bystander Effect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect On limits to living where she wants to in the world: On a freelance budget, there's no way they would give me a visa. There is a systematic bias towards employment in the modern immigration system. Favorite Quotes from the Podcast: On Bailey's view of the US economy after driving through every state: “There's a huge contingent of young people in this country right now: the job market is shit, unemployment is high, and so what do you do? You become an entrepreneur.” The best way to create your lifestyle of freedom and flexibility is to get into the entrepreneurial mindset. Keep. Building. Freedom.
