Setting a festive mood with a holiday shirt to boot, Charles Miller kicks off the CoinGeek Conversations Christmas Special this year, sharing a bubbly toast with his guests: CoinGeek Reporter, Becky Liggero, and Osmin Callis, the Founder and CEO of Mode 8. The two battled it out to the end in an exciting quiz covering topics, such as Bitcoin SV (BSV) companies, Bitcoin terminologies, entertainment, science, and a final odd one out round. Formulating the questions using ChatGPT, Charles marveled at how the language model came up with its responses, as well as abstract images for BSV companies, based on the very little information he gave. The first round focused on Bitcoin SV companies, with Charles asking participants to identify BSV their names based on AI images. The next round shifted to general knowledge, covering topics such as the Olympic Games in London, planets, Komodo dragons, and Taylor Swift albums. The third round took a unique turn, presenting descriptions from Robin Kohze, CEO and Co-founder of Vaionex, with participants tasked to identify Bitcoin-related terms based on these descriptions. In the final, odd one out, round, participants had to pick the word or phrase that didn't belong among four choices. The competition was fierce as Osmin and Becky vied to answer questions, earning points for correct answers. At the end of the quiz, the scores were tallied, ultimately revealing the winner, with prizes, like the bubbly, ‘magically' passed across the online connections! To find out who won, you'll need to watch the show and perhaps test your knowledge by attempting some of the questions! Best of luck, and may you have a joyful holiday season from the CoinGeek Conversations team!

Darren Kellenschwiler's long BSV history runs from the tumultuous days of the BCH-BSV split to his current role as a technical lead at the BSV Blockchain Association.On this week's CoinGeek Conversations, Darren takes a trip down memory lane with Charles Miller, recalling the end of 2018 when he hosted Bitcoin meet-ups in London. It was during this period that the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin SV (BSV) split occurred, resulting in heated debates and ideological divisions within the community. Darren recalled the atmosphere, when "everything was a little tumultuous, and people were taking different ideological stances. There were very strong arguments - over a beer! That's the sort of atmosphere at that time. It was the hash wars era." Darren was on the Bitcoin SV side of the divide, firmly believing in Dr Craig Wright as the inventor of Bitcoin. As he explained, "I had made my mind up years before that this chap, Dr Wright is the inventor of Bitcoin. So I didn't really waste my time with the crowd that were somehow rebelling against him." As Bitcoin SV emerged, Darren took “a leap of faith” despite the ongoing debates about Dr Craig Wright. As he says, “there wasn't a lot of public detail with respect to the evidence for Dr Craig Wright having invented Bitcoin." This period also marked the birth of the "Bitcoin protocol is set in stone" campaign. One of Darren's notable contributions to the BSV community was Baemail, an email application integrated with micropayments. He explained his motivation behind it: "I don't like spam. I hate reading emails that are not relevant to me. So I thought, attach some value to it. We'll create ‘inbox economics', where the highest in the inbox is the person who paid you the most for you to read it." While Baemail gained quick adoption within the BSV community, it faced challenges in achieving widespread usage due to limitations in BSV wallet adoption. Darren's journey continued when he met Brendan Lee from ELAS Digital at a conference in London. Brendan bought Baemail and hired Darren, making him a co-founder of the company. Together, they delved into building Metanet applications and experimenting with hosting entire websites on the Metanet, a concept that was both groundbreaking and esoteric at the time. Today, Darren serves as the technical lead of the utilization value stream at the BSV Blockchain Association. He described his role as multifaceted, involving contributions to various aspects of the BSV ecosystem. He also emphasized the Association's responsibility to ensure that the user experience and businesses built on BSV remain intact and thrive. Darren also highlighted his passion for tackling complex challenges and his role in documenting, analyzing, and improving wallet architectures within the BSV ecosystem. He mentioned the importance of effective communication and collaboration with developers, including discussions with Dr Craig Wright, to advance the ecosystem's growth and development. Darren Kellenschwiler's journey in the Bitcoin SV ecosystem exemplifies the resilience and dedication of individuals committed to the vision of a stable, scalable, and innovative blockchain. As Bitcoin SV continues to evolve, Darren and others like him play a pivotal role in shaping its future.  

Swiss entrepreneur Bernhard Müller's app, Centi, built on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain, is a platform that offers financial services which combine the revolutionary capabilities of digital money with the trust and security of traditional banks. Centi's creation of the Centi Franc Stablecoin (CCHF), a stablecoin connected to the Swiss franc is a significant achievement for the BSV blockchain. According to Bernhard, the Centi Franc is a "stablecoin of a new category, which is fiat guaranteed". He stressed that this guarantee provides peace of mind, saying, "you know exactly how you can get your money as it is backed by a Swiss bank guarantee." On this episode of CoinGeek Conversations, Bernhard details the process behind the Centi franc, explaining that for every token issued, the bank provides an equivalent amount of money as a guarantee in the event that Centi defaults. He outlined the steps involved, from contacting the bankruptcy trustee to the bank's role in collecting data and distributing funds. Bernhard emphasized, "you have this guarantee, which is quite unique". Bernhard also points to the Centi Franc's capability to handle micropayments, not just for trading between cryptocurrencies. "It's a direct-to-consumer stablecoin," meaning that users don't need to have large amounts of money to interact with it. Bernhard aims to get more people, including developers and businesses, to use Centi Franc. Presenter Charles Miller suggested that the Centi Franc represents "genuine digital cash." Bernhard agreed and pointed out that when you use cash, you don't have to share your ID or leave behind any digital traces, as opposed to other financial transactions, such as with banks, where you need to share all sorts of personal information. Centi does not rely on loans from banks, instead, it front-loads the money. This not only minimizes the bank's risk but also ensures Centi maintains sufficient reserves. The Centi Franc's real power is in its versatility. As Bernhard points out, "If you want to have a Swiss franc that's ultra-versatile and can be used for micropayments...that's not something you can do with money in a bank account because it's not cash."  Bernhard also unveiled Centi's merchant list, highlighting its growth. He explained that consumers can directly pay merchants, and Centi's competitive pricing is one of the reasons merchants choose to accept it. It's also good to note that the absence of chargebacks and faster access to funds is an added advantage to merchants of Centi. Furthermore, Centi has partnered with Centbee, a wallet provider based in South Africa focused on facilitating cash payments and remittances within Africa. Bernhard described their partnership as an opportunity to create a remittance product that fits well with Switzerland's unique remittance landscape. Switzerland is a significant source of remittance payments, surpassing even the entire United Kingdom, despite its smaller size. This is due to Switzerland's diverse society, comprised of both locals and international workers, including refugees. Centbee, on the other hand, offers cash, bank payments, and mobile money services in sub-Saharan Africa, and now expanding to countries like Brazil.  Combining Centi's infrastructure in Switzerland with Centbee's offerings, the collaboration aims to create a remittance product that can meet the demands of the current remittance market. Bernhard Müller's Centi combines the best of traditional finance with the possibilities of the digital age. As he notes, Centi offers its users the convenience of web3 technology while maintaining the familiarity of web2, making it an exciting prospect in the world of digital finance.  

Calvin Ayre: Blockchain can make governments look good to their citizens The London Blockchain Conference next week will be held at a prestigious venue in Parliament Square - no coincidence because its tagline is “Bringing government and enterprise onto the blockchain”. As conference creator Calvin Ayre explained in this week's CoinGeek Conversations, the use of blockchain could benefit both governments and citizens:   “Governments can use this technology to manage data in a way that makes them look really good to their citizens. They're saving costs. They're being able to provide unique services that weren't possible before.”  But the “honesty and truthfulness” of a government will also become more transparent to its citizens, which may not always be welcome, Ayre believes: “it's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds because we do know that a lot of governments don't like things that force them to be honest”.  The conference is “about solving big data challenges in a unique way with blockchains”. And although Ayre is a big supporter of the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain - partly through his Ayre Ventures, which invests exclusively in BSV businesses -, he insists that the conference is not a BSV event: “BSV is just a tool. If someone else has another tool that wants to compete in that space, then the conference is open to them.”  Indeed, the conference advertised for participation by supporters of any other blockchain that had what Ayre considers essential to serve this market - unbounded scaling, the ability to make nano payments and a readiness to follow all existing laws - but nobody applied: “nothing came back. Not one person. And I found that shocking actually”.  Ayre draws a complete distinction between the work he supports and the rest of the ‘crypto' market. He sees no future for crypto and backs the suggestion of a Select Committee of British MPs who recently recommended that crypto should be regulated under gambling laws rather than financial - as it currently is under the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) in the UK.   “Innovation on blockchains will happen after the crypto nonsense is cleared of the way,” he says. And as a former entrepreneur in the world of online gaming he believes that crypto is “like gambling - only it's like illegal, unregulated gambling”.  On the current media focus on AI, Ayre believes that more important technological developments will be centred on the implementation of BSV and IPV6 - an internet protocol that allows greater scaling of IP addresses than the currently more common IPV4.   “You're not going to solve the challenges that the Internet has with artificial intelligence. You need what BSV does to make the Internet work better, for artificial intelligence to work better. They are things that will actually work together”. The BSV blockchain could provide a record of the provenance of data used in AI - an essential additional component to make its results more trustworthy.   On the question of Dr Craig Wright's many ongoing court cases, closely followed in BSV circles, Ayre is a huge supporter of Dr Wright on social media, but admits “I'm not a fan of all his court cases. I actually wish that there was a lot less of that and a lot more focus on business.” Nevertheless, Ayre has no doubts about Dr Wright's claims - “of course I support him because he's right. I just don't think that all that stuff needs to be proven right now”. He jokes that “everything looks like a nail to Craig and he's got a couple of hammers in his hands”.  The London conference will be the first of a regular annual event, Ayre says. From next year, he wants to expand it from this year's two stages - focussing on business and technology - to three, and to extend th

Tuvalu may be the fourth smallest country in the world, but it hasn’t let that get in the way of its giant ambitions. The island nation announced in December 2020 that it plans to create the world’s first national digital ledger, using Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain technology.The plan is to migrate to a completely digital infrastructure, with Tuvalu choosing BSV for its scalability and efficiency. The news has already made waves in the BSV ecosystem but could it go further and show the world what can be done on BSV?One of those behind the project, Brendan Lee, CEO of Elas Digital, certainly thinks so. He told Charles Miller, on this week’s episode of CoinGeek Conversations that he is confident the project will be an “eye-opener to other people who are looking in, at just what’s possible when you use Bitcoin in this way.”He believes that the scheme is “a fabulous opportunity… to demonstrate what’s possible” and hopes that the success of the project will encourage other nations, even the US, to follow suit.The digital transformation is being led by a partnership between Elas Digital, developers nChain, BSV consultancy firm Faiā and the Tuvaluan government.Brendan first heard about the project after seeing an article on Medium by his former colleague, the MD of Faiā, George Siosi Samuels. He was intrigued and reached out to George who was keen to involve him.The three companies all bring unique strengths to the project. Elas has been integral in designing the initial concept, nChain brings developmental expertise and Craig Wright’s Metanet while Faiā’s community-driven approach will ensure the project’s utility for the people of Tuvalu. They aim to build “the highest velocity financial and administrative service in the world.” This will include the digitisation of government documents and the introduction of a tokenised cash system which will sit on top of the Tuvaluan currency (the Australian dollar). The digitisation of government records will make it easier for the government to access and verify the source of data. And Brendan believes that a digital cash system will also prove extremely valuable for Tuvalu, a country which has “a very difficult time actually keeping enough cash in circulation for the economy to function properly.”Brendan explains that his understanding of the islands’ needs is derived from public consultations and ongoing dialogue with government ministers.He has also been able to lean on George’s Tuvaluan heritage. George’s mother was born on one of the islands. This has allowed the team to approach the project with a better understanding of what’s appropriate and how the ledger will fit into islanders’ lives.This has been vital as one of Brendan’s core goals is eventually “handing it over to them and allowing them to use it to build a record of their own culture and heritage.”At the moment, Brendan is focusing on a few starter projects, including a portal for citizenship applications which he hopes to have up and running by the end of the year. After that, he is confident that the process will speed up and prove to the world just what’s possible on BSV.

Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Bitcoin SV (BSV). How on earth did we get to having three vastly different projects laying claim to the Bitcoin name? In episode 1 of our new podcast series, Bitstocks Product & Sales Manager, Emmanuel Alamu and CFO, Elia Yousif set out to explore the history, ideologies and economics that underpin the different Bitcoin node implementations. In part 1 of this episode, Emmanuel and Elia take us through historical events and the narratives that developed along the way. The pair take us back to the very beginning of the block size debate, when Mike Hearn proposed an 8MB block size limit in 2014 and ended up ostracised from the community. Moving on to 2015, we look at the initial proposal of SegWit, a protocol change that would radically alter the way transactions would be processed on the BTC network. By 2016, the Bitcoin project is split between those vying for the adoption of SegWit, and those rallying for the block size to be increased to 8MB. The first hard fork follows as result, with the birth of Bitcoin Cash at the end of 2017. A little over a year later, a civil war erupts within Bitcoin Cash, a hash war takes place, and Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (Bitcoin SV) is born. To an outsider, the different factions of Bitcoin might seem absurd. But, by focussing our attention on the different ideologies (socialism, anarchism, capitalism) and economic incentive schemes of each, Elia and Emmanuel show us there’s more than trivial tribalism brewing beneath the surface.  

Alex Fauvel is a technologist and entrepreneur with a passion for Bitcoin - and Bitcoin SV (BSV) in particular. His Two Hop ventures, based in the Netherlands, is a fund that invests in companies that are building “on BSV and BSV only,” Alex says. “We are not interested in any other technology - other than what Satoshi created.” The fund has given itself 18 months to raise money from investors, and is aiming for 40 million Euros to invest in a portfolio of around 15 companies. Two Hop is aiming to invest in businesses that work in the infrastructure layer, rather than consumer apps. “There’s much more value there,” Alex says. Although, in the end, value on Bitcoin may migrate to consumer products, for the moment “users don’t trust it” - so, for now, consumers shouldn’t even be aware of the technology behind Bitcoin-powered services that they’re using. It’s the opposite to the trend in Internet companies like Amazon which started as a consumer business but now makes its largest profits from infrastructure, in the form of Amazon Web Services. “What we’re really looking for at Two Hop is something that the Internet cannot do, that people aren’t even necessarily aware of, but they need desperately,” Alex says.Alongside the venture fund, Alex also has a BSV-based business called Pixel Wallet, which has a technology that conceals blockchain data in picture files. It provides a solution, Alex says, to “the problem of encryption eventually being broken through the passage of time”. Alex is thinking in terms of the next hundred years, during which time computing power will become ever greater. The technology behind Pixel Wallet uses the ‘random’ quality of a photographic file to hide the blockchain information within a much larger data set. Steganography, as the process is called, has the equivalent function of data masking processes that are used by the credit card industry, but it’s “data masking on steroids”. “The reason why we invested in Pixel Wallet is because to legally own a digital asset is very, very difficult right now ...And that technological problem is not likely to be solved by technology. It’s more likely to be solved by law.”To get Pixel Wallet going, Alex says, “we’re trying to convince BSV startups that this is possible, this is compliant and this is in their best interest.” Alex’s background is in technology, having studied mechanical engineering at UCL in London. But he says he’s “always wanted to get into business”. He became nterested in Bitcoin while still at university in 2013: “I was just absolutely fascinated by it - because no-one knew how it worked ...everything about it was unknown.” Today, he’s just as enthusiastic and has a big vision of Bitcoin’s potential: “it’s something we interact with as a tool, and it shows us what we are, how we interact with one another.” As to where we should look for big breakthroughs in the use of Bitcoin technology, Alex points to replacing remaining paper requirements: “I’m quite shocked at how paper-based business is still”.

Brendan Lee is gathering together the collective wisdom around Bitcoin SV (BSV) and making it digestible for developers - both for newbies and for the battle-hardened. “I wanted to take my knowledge of Bitcoin and get it out to as many people as possible,” he says. BSV is still less than a year old, since its fork from Bitcoin Cash, so it’s surprising how much there is to learn and to impart. But at the CambrianSV Bootcamp in Bali recently, Brendan, the new Training and Development Manager for the Bitcoin Association, demonstrated the fruits of his studies in a series of well-received seminars for the 30 or so developers who were attending. He’s also taken on a second new job, as Head of Technology for Faiā, a management consultancy that works with companies who may be taking an interest in the potential of Bitcoin for the first time. For complete newcomers, Brendan admits there are often some prejudices to overcome. The “civil war” in Bitcoin is “very hard to explain to people”. But “as soon as you start talking about an honest money system, that’s transparent, where transactions are instant and extremely cheap ...people actually hear that and they go ‘wow, I want to learn more’.”One example of a consultancy project that makes use of Bitcoin is the development of a system to allow the automatic payment of royalties to an artist by an end consumer - making use of Bitcoin’s ability to pay out to multiple parties from a single transaction: “the fan pays the artist directly”.In his work for the Bitcoin Association, Brendan says that what’s being built today still needs to achieve “feature parity” with existing applications on the Internet. “But once we get to the point that they do achieve feature parity, and start executing features that are in addition to what’s already available, we will see a moment where people start sitting up and listening” because they’ll have learnt that “if you use this application on Bitcoin, you can earn money really quickly”.Brendan admits that there isn’t yet a defined body of knowledge around BitcoinSV. In preparing his sessions for the Bali Bootcamp, he’s been “scouring the Internet” and talking to researchers at nChain to make sure that “my ideas and understanding of things is correct”. The result of the work will be a series of educational resources that the Bitcoin Association will release “so that people who are new to Bitcoin can come in and learn about these concepts - a lot of which are extremely important to understand if you are looking to build an application that works on top of Bitcoin”. But Brendan is making no claims to be the final authority on the matters he’s teaching: “I’m working this out as I go along, and I have learnt so much in the process of putting these lectures together. What I’m really hoping for is that at some point someone comes to me and says ‘hey, I was thinking about what you said but here’s an even better way to do it’. That to me says that I’ve hit the right notes, I’ve got the creative juices flowing.”

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) and the total crypto market cap hit new 2019 highs this morning of $9,470 and $339 billion respectively. It appears new sanctions aimed at Iran’s Supreme Leader may be the cause of this morning’s bullishness. Burstcoin (BURST), the king of proof of capacity, has rallied 100% in the past 4 days. We discuss how 98% of the activity on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain is generated by a weather app. Hear about how Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency team will be testifying before Congress on July 11, and how the Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee wants to stop all Libra development until regulators review the project. Learn about how two Israeli brothers have been arrested in relation to the 2016 Bitfinex hack where almost 120,000 Bitcoins (BTC) were stolen, and how Binance has done its first margin trading liquidation.

“Three is kind of a lucky number,” says Jack Liu, “you’re not really going to get a fourth chance, fifth chance, a sixth chance - so I look at it as like this is all or nothing.”Hong Kong based entrepreneur Jack Liu sees the opportunities offered by Bitcoin SV (BSV) today as being the third and final chance to realise the potential he’s always seen for cryptocurrency.After the decision was made, years ago, not to scale Bitcoin (BTC) and then the problems with Bitcoin Cash (BCH) that followed, Jack is now pinning his hopes on BSV. But to work, he says, reliable revenue streams must be developed for BSV - and fast. “I think as much as today we sit here with amazing optimism for BSV, if we cannot get BSV adopted on a transaction level, you’re going to see divisions again within BSV. So you’ve got to get transactions going as soon as possible - and that’s where the urgency comes from.”To that end, Jack and his team - formed since he left Circle just a couple of months ago - have already released two products, FloatSV, an exchange, and RelayX, a ‘superwallet’ that connects BSV with existing payment platforms such as Alipay and WeChat.Jack’s concern is that transactions must sustain the network of BSV miners by providing them with micropayments. The danger is that the rival version of Bitcoin, BTC, is used purely as a store of value: “the great thing that banks would love to see is if they can make Bitcoin merely ‘digital gold’ - they would love that because it would not alter the world that we live in ...which is really not that interesting at all. If that was what you told me Bitcoin was going to be, I would never have joined this industry.”Instead, Jack’s vision is to have BSV playing a part in every aspect of our lives, with micropayments being sent and received between people all the time - during work, rest and play: “I think in the future, if someone notices that you haven’t made a hundred transactions in a day, they might call the police and look for you - because just by living, you’re going to be making transactions.”Although we may find ourselves making micropayments for things we now think of as free, Jack says that on the other side of the equation, “you probably will have hundreds more income streams daily”. But that doesn’t mean they’re all going to be big money-makers: “I mean income streams as in maybe you open a door for someone and they tip you one cent”.But small payments made to people in developing countries for providing casual digital services, for instance, could make a big difference in those economies. The aim, Jack says, is for people to be able to start using RelayX with no BSV or fiat money. Instead, they would earn money through the app, and it would get into circulation that way. BSV is uniquely able to make this possible because its rivals “never had the vision that Satoshi did for the entire system”. Instead, they’re marketing individual use cases, which, when the market changes, will have to pivot: “they’re kind of opportunistic blockchains” whose protocol will inevitably change, making them unsuitable for established businesses to build on.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) is sideways and volatile the past few days, but the rest of the crypto market continues to rise and the total crypto market cap has hit a new 2019 high of $281 billion. Bitcoin SV (BSV) rallied 100% last night on fake news that Craig Wright proved he was Satoshi with a large Bitcoin (BTC) transaction from one of Satoshi’s wallets. In other news, someone else besides Craig Wright has copyrighted Bitcoin’s (BTC) white paper, proving how anyone could copyright Bitcoin (BTC). Hear about the rumors that Coinbase may offer margin trading in the future. We discuss how Abra is now offering direct trading between Bitcoin (BTC) and stocks, and is currently offering 50 different stocks and ETFs. However, due to regulation Abra is not available in the United States.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) is near $8,700 this morning after dropping to $8,450 overnight, and it appears stock market weakness is helping to prop up Bitcoin’s (BTC) price. Bitcoin SV (BSV) has rallied more than 50% in the past day. IOTA (MIOTA) has rallied over 20% in the past day due to news that its developers are removing the centralized coordinator from the network, making IOTA (MIOTA) far more decentralized. We discuss the critical CME Bitcoin Futures Expiration that is coming up on Friday. Hear about how Bitcoin (BTC) HODLING is way up among retail and firm-sized investors, and how this has driven the recent rally. We also discuss the mechanisms behind MakerDao and the Dai stablecoin, and how they recently lowered their interest rate from 19.5% to 17.5%.

The low transaction costs of Bitcoin SV (BSV) are paying dividends for a startup called FiveBucks. It’s a digital marketplace that connects service providers round the world with customers. The starting price for a job is just $5 US, paid in BSV.The entrepreneur behind it is Getar Hoti, who started the business last year and has already attracted almost 500 people offering their services - everything from “I will create a powerful logo for your business” to “I will record a professional British voiceover” and “I will talk to you in Italian on Skype for 15 minutes”. Thanks to the use of BSV, no money goes to payment processors. FiveBucks only charges 10% for connecting the freelancers with customers, not the 20% that “most freelance platforms charge,” according to Getar, “and long term, with what’s happening on BSV, we plan to decrease this more and more”. Since the arrival of BSV after the hard fork from Bitcoin Cash last year, “we have been doing great, because in BSV you have this stable ecosystem, stable protocol, a strong market.”

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) is oscillating around $8,000, trading between support at $7,600 and resistance at $8,300. The crypto market is generally in the green this morning. The biggest story of the day is Craig Wright has copyrighted Bitcoin’s (BTC) code and white paper, and plans on transferring ownership of these copyrights to the Bitcoin Association which owns the Bitcoin SV (BSV) software. This has caused a Bitcoin SV (BSV) rally this morning. We discuss how Bitfinex will begin offering ICOs, similar to the Binance launchpad, despite being in the middle of a court case with the New York Attorney General’s Office. Hear about how the Van-Eck SolidX Bitcoin ETF has been delayed yet again. Learn about how Kraken has followed Bitfinex’s lead and is now selling shares to the public to raise money, and has raised $6 million within two days. We also discuss how the IRS is issuing additional crypto tax guidance, following the general failure of the original crypto tax guidance issued in 2014.

Co-founder Widya Salim describes her business, Cryptartica as a cryptocurrency-based design platform. Designers can upload their work and put it on a product (just tee shirts at the moment, but with more kinds of products promised for the future). Then Cryptartica will produce the physical product, and either ship it to the designer to sell, or designers can just invite their customers to go to Crypartica and order the product for themselves. All transactions are done in Bitcoin SV (BSV) or Bitcoin Cash (BCH). For now, Cryptartica’s website offers a range of designs around BSV and BCH - and even Craig Wright on a tee shirt -, but Widya is hoping that one day, the site will be “less niche” and its users will offer a wider range of subjects: “our whole idea is to have designers who are not just into cryptocurrency.”Widya has been interested in Bitcoin since 2013. But in recent years, she’s been more involved because there’s been more emphasis on promoting adoption than just currency speculating. By requiring her customers to trade in crypto, Widya may be limiting her market at the moment, but she says that she wants Cryptartica to help lower the barriers to entry for new users. For instance, if you’re a designer whose product sells, all you need to receive your payment is a wallet: you won’t need to use an exchange in order to acquire your first Bitcoin. To set up the business, Widya has established links with a network of suppliers around the world who will manufacture and ship the products. In terms of sales patterns, Widya has noticed that when the value of Bitcoin decreases against fiat currencies, “people are less willing to spend, because a lot of people a lot of people still think in fiat currency”. But when the value of a cryptocurrency rises, then people start buying.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) continues to be stuck at the $5,300-$5,400 resistance level, and the crypto market is waiting for Bitcoin (BTC) to make a move. Binance Coin (BNB) continues to rally as the launch of the Binance DEX approaches. We discuss how Bitcoin SV (BSV) has experienced two small block-reorgs. There is speculation that this could be an attack, but it also could be the result of Bitcoin SV’s (BSV) network propagation being relatively poor due to large block sizes. Hear about how people are betting Bitcoin (BTC) on who will win the Iron Throne in Game of Thrones. Learn about Bcause Mining LLC, which has declared chapter 11 bankruptcy to protect itself from debts with the local electric company and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and how this is the first such case for a crypto company. We also discuss Satoshi’s Treasure, the worldwide hunt for $1 million of Bitcoin (BTC), and the interesting dynamics that are beginning to develop within the game.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) is continuing to hover near $5,000, and since Bitcoin (BTC) dropped since yesterday the crypto market is generally in the red this morning. The Mayer Multiple (MM), which is a ratio of Bitcoin’s (BTC) price to the 200 day moving average, has moved above 1.0, which in the past has been an indicator that a bear market is ending. Bitcoin SV (BSV) is continuing to plummet following the Twitter battle between Bitcoin SV (BSV) Founder Craig Wright and Lightning Torch Founder Hodlonaut. Binance and ShapeShift have delisted Bitcoin SV (BSV), and Kraken is also threatening to delist. Binance has announced another quarterly Binance Coin (BNB) burn, but it has had no effect on the market today. This is probably due to Binance burning coins that are not actually in circulation. Coinbase and Binance are offering a new Proof of Stake (PoS) service where users can hold PoS coins and earn from mining. Since both these exchanges have selected Tezos (XTZ) for their PoS service, Tezos (XTZ) has rallied over 170% since the beginning of March. Hear about Satoshi’s Treasure, which is a treasure hunt where users download clues from the Blockstream Satellites and find Bitcoin (BTC) private keys hidden in physical locations. Whoever finds 400 out of 1,000 keys wins $1 million of Bitcoin (BTC). We discuss how LedgerX is trying to launch physical Bitcoin (BTC) futures in the United States, but how this may prove difficult due to the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) has risen into the $5,100-$5,200 range over the weekend. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has rallied 17% and Bitcoin SV (BSV) has crashed 8 percent this morning on news that Bitcoin SV (BSV) is being delisted from Binance, following the Twitter debacle between Craig Wright and Hodlonaut. The Ethereum developers are discussing the possibility of more frequent hard forks in order to get to Ethereum 2.0 aka Serenity more quickly. However there are dissenting opinions on this issue since it is difficult to do frequent hard forks. We discuss how BitMEX may add Bitcoin (BTC) bonds in the future as well as the option of buying the S&P 500 and Nasdaq stock indices with Bitcoin (BTC).

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) and the rest of the crypto market are slowly rising after a bearish day yesterday. Hear about how a Federal Reserve meeting which forecasted economic instability likely led to the Bitcoin (BTC) price rise to over $5,400 on Wednesday. We discuss the Twitter battle between Craig Wright and Lightning Torch Founder Hodlonaut, which has escalated to Craig Wright threatening to sue Hodlonaut and offering a $5,000 bounty to DOX Hodlonaut, Hodlonaut deleting his account, and the CEO of Binance threatening to delist Bitcoin SV (BSV). We also discuss how the President of the United States wants to shutdown money remittances for illegal immigrants so they don’t send money to their families in Mexico, and how Bitcoin (BTC) is the solution to this potential problem.

Mark Allison has been a freelance IT consultant for 20 years, specialising in data. He works for investment banks, retailers, insurance companies, hedge funds and payment processors. Many of the people he deals with are sceptical about Bitcoin - and have been more so since the crash in its value last year. But Mark is optimistic about Bitcoin’s prospects and has been following the sector closely. Now he’s spending his evenings and weekends building products for Bitcoin SV (BSV). “I see huge potential”, he says. Bitcoin could allow governments and banks to be more transparent. “If we do move over to Bitcoin as a currency ...I think everyone’s going to be better off.” He understands the scepticism among his City and IT colleagues: “because BTC [Bitcoin Core] has these limits in place, it couldn’t scale, so people who did go out and buy Bitcoin and try to use it, were like, ‘well, it’s not actually very good, is it?’.” With transaction fees rising to around $50, its prospects for being used as a global cash seemed “ridiculous”. But Mark says the limits on transactions and high fees were artificial and the appearance of Bitcoin SV (BSV) has given him even more hope because it returns to the ideas of the original Bitcoin White Paper, of which Mark is a huge fan: “When you consider Bitcoin as a whole, I see it like a Michelangelo painting: it’s a thing of beauty. If you look at the economics behind it, all the incentives behind it - how the miners are incentivised - if you look at the computer science breakthrough that happened to solve the Byzantine Generals problem, if you look at the game theory behind it, if you look at the law: all of these elements all come together in one package, and it’s just a beautiful thing.”The developers at nChain are removing many of the limits imposed on BTC, and then “Bitcoin can really realise its potential”. It will make business more efficient by reducing their costs. All it will take it one large business to start using it. Dr Craig Wright, Jimmy Nguyen and others have spoken of the need to achieve massive scaling on the BSV network - and Mark agrees: “we need to scale now”. With the mining block subsidy being halved again next year in line with how Bitcoin was set up, eventually “if there’s not significant volume, then the miners are going to leave - so we’ve got this ticking time bomb”. The answer to that problem is BSV, Mark says. It’s not only a stable platform in terms of the protocol, but nChain is committed to scaling. “If we don’t scale, it’s going to fail,” Mark says. “We need to see consistent large blocks though real world usage”, for instance for data that needs to be immutably stored with proof of existence. To help things along, Mark has been making his own applications for BSV. The first is a Chrome extension for the Handcash wallet. To make it, Mark had to teach himself Javascript, among other things, over two or three weekends. After about a month, he says, he “managed to cobble something together that kind of worked”. You can try the Handcash Handle Converter for yourself: it converts a Handcash handle into a Bitcoin address. Or, thanks to fellow developer Derek Moore, who made use of Mark’s open source project, you can get the same functions on a website, handcash.to.Mark’s second project is an analytics database, SVCharts, which produces Bitcoin trends, such as mining fees: “ultimately what I want to have is a self-service analytics platform.” The project includes an interesting monetisation model using MoneyButton.

Michael Hudson says he founded Bitstocks in 2014 to help the “everyday investor” understand cryptocurrencies. That meant trying to “get rid of all these nerdy, geeky terms” and offering advice to people who want to gain access to crypto markets. This year he’s launching Gravity, Bitstocks’ own “holistic ecosystem”, which is the company’s next step in making the crypto world easy to use for experts and non-specialists alike. Gravity is “a modern interpretation of what banking should look like in a new Bitcoin world.”Michael has thought deeply about the theory of money - the intellectual framework through which the power of crypto can be explained: “money is just a measure of someone’s time and their skill. The more skill someone has, the less time it takes to perform a task. The more money you have, the more people you can hire with the skill, reducing the time. Money is a time measurement: the more you have, the more you condense time”.Having been in crypto for five years - an eternity! - Bitstocks has experienced the rollercoaster ride of successive bull and bear markets. But Michael admits that the current downturn, stretching all the way back to the start of 2018, is different. That’s because for the first time, there’s a level of “regulatory oversight” that’s never been part of the crypto world before. With more than 4000 cryptocurrencies out there, Michael predicts that “99 per cent of them are going to fall on the wrong side of regulation. So we see this as massively clearing up the market”.In fact, Michael thinks that when it comes to the various competing cryptocurrencies, eventually “it’s inevitable that there’s only going to be one” - and Michael believes that will be Bitcoin SV (BSV). Success for BSV is all about encouraging more transactions, or “building density” in order to strengthen the network. BSV’s commitment to a stable protocol makes it the best candidate for that leading role: “you have to lock down the foundation, and then I’ll build my house on it”. All the other blockchains are “built on quicksand”. Michael’s hopes for cryptocurrency extend way beyond London’s financial sector, and into the developing world: “Africa is a huge agenda for us here at Bitstocks”. Despite Western preconceptions, Michael says, African countries already have “the necessary prerequisites that allow them to step into modern banking”. For instance, with smartphones, you have “the hive mind of the world in the palm of your hand”. The unique value of crypto as the basis of an economy is that “in crypto, there’s nobody to distort the value.” That’s partly because of the limited supply, for instance on the Bitcoin blockchain. That means that “as long as I’m measuring and weighting my time and skill in Bitcoin, over time, I know I’m always going to get a better return - because the value that I took initially, will be worth more four years down the road”.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) is showing volatility this morning, but in general continues to be on a slow downtrend since the February 8 rally. Major cryptocurrencies are mixed this morning. Hear about how Coinbase is finally letting users withdraw their Bitcoin SV (BSV) about 3 months after the fork

There’s general recognition in the cryptocurrency world that if crypto is to achieve its potential, it needs to work closely with regulators. One of those trying to make regulation useful to crypto and crypto acceptable to regulators is Hans Henrik Hoffmeyer, COO of the Copenhagen fintech company Coinify.Hans is bullish about his discussions with EU officials and politicians. “Most of the regulators I meet nowadays are keenly aware that this is actually a paradigm shift,” he says. There is “a profound understanding of this technology, and the implications and potential.”That level of engagement and comprehension is new: “it has completely changed, and I have been surprised by the speed.” Hans says the EU is “keenly aware that if they apply a regulatory framework which is very hostile, then the business will in principle just move elsewhere.”For instance, the EU has agreed to update its existing anti money laundering directive to include virtual currencies and cryptocurrencies. And companies like Coinify will now be registered with their national financial services authority. That’s “hugely important for the industry,” Hans says. Coinify is a payment gateway, working with payment service providers to act as “the bridge between the traditional financial world and the new, emerging world of virtual currencies.” It specialises in helping people from the financial industry to get involved in cryptocurrencies and likes to think of itself as a “Mastercard for virtual currencies”. In other words, it acts as an intermediary between a customer and a retailer, allowing transactions to take place in different currencies - just as a credit card holder may have their account in pounds sterling or euros but is still able to use the card in the USA, to pay for something in dollars.Currently Coinify accepts around 15 different cryptocurrencies, and offers transactions online, where Hans says the company has “very good traction”. It’s now also working with prototype systems to test ways of offering its services in physical stores. For bigger merchants, Coinify offers a simple interface, a bit like Worldpay’s. But the majority of merchants work with Coinify through their existing payment service providers, which makes it simple for the merchant to add virtual currencies to their existing payment methods.Hans says there have never been so many ways to pay for something - which may be good news for the likes of Coinify, allowing it to play a useful role in simplifying a complex range of choices for merchants and customers. Part of what Coinify offers is to take the risk associated with accepting volatile currencies on behalf of the merchant and the payment service provider. Now Coinify is adding Bitcoin SV (BSV) to the cryptocurrencies it supports - although Han stresses that the business is “blockchain agnostic”. But with BSV “the attention that is given to the regulatory compliance side and to ensure transparency is something that we appreciate.”Coinify doesn’t actually hold any currency - which makes it different from an exchange, which would be required to hold currency in order to carry out its business. Indeed, in its transactions, Coinify finds the best price by comparing between different exchanges to optimise deals for its customers. Another part of Coinify’s business is closer to the end user. It gives wallet providers the chance to offer cryptocurrencies to their users without leaving the wallet. It’s called “in-wallet buy and sell”.
