We break down the basics of Bitcoin, discuss its history, and explain key concepts, providing a solid foundation for anyone new to the world of cryptocurrency. What is Bitcoin? Definition: General public perception: Is Bitcoin a scam, internet money, or crypto? Hosts' definitions: Insights from DEE A & RA George. Whitepaper Definition: Peer-to-peer electronic cash system, as defined by Satoshi Nakamoto. Why it Matters: Challenges with the current banking system vs. Bitcoin's peer-to-peer model. A personal perspective on the inefficiencies of traditional systems like KYC and large-sum transactions. The Basics of Bitcoin 21 Million Limit: Exploring the concept of demand vs. supply. Bitcoin Halving: An easy breakdown of how and why Bitcoin rewards are halved every 4 years: History of Bitcoin Bitcoin wasn't the first cryptocurrency; others like eCash, B-Money, BitGold, and Hashcash came before. The Double-Spending Problem and how Bitcoin solved it using cryptography, hashing algorithms, and mathematics (SHA-256). Key Concepts of Bitcoin Peer-to-Peer: A comparison with fiat systems and real-world examples (e.g., Dubizzle, Facebook Marketplace). Electronic Cash System: Bitcoin Mining Simplified explanation: Miners solve puzzles to verify transactions, using energy in a process called Proof of Work (PoW). Pillars of Bitcoin (Open Blockchain) Open Source: Transparent source code available on GitHub. Permissionless: No age or location restrictions for users. Borderless: Seamless transactions worldwide. Censorship-Resistant: Miners update transactions without validating their purposes. Publicly Verifiable: Bitcoin transactions are traceable via Blockchain Explorer, making illicit activities detectable. Comparison to CBDCs CBDCs are not peer-to-peer and are controlled by central banks. Bitcoin provides transparency, while CBDCs allow selective verification and potential double-spending. This session breaks down the barriers to understanding Bitcoin, helping beginners grasp why it's often called the future of money.

I've been on a research quest to find the best arguments for why cryptocurrencies will go to zero, here's what I found out.In Episode #301 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: our thoughts on the upcoming crypto winter, why serious people will still be working on projects (like 'unsigned_algorithms'), chatting about complete capitulations days before the Terra LUNA fiasco, useless mediums for conversation plus Andrew Tate, crappy arguments saying no-one uses it/ is only for criminals and why hypothetical 50 year jail sentences might not stop adoption.As always, we hope you enjoy.

I'm sitting with Josh Crumb, the co-founder of a company that was originally called BitGold but following the acquisition of James Turk's GoldMoney they rebranded their company as GoldMoney I agree with that decision because I think GoldMoney is more descriptive of what they are really doing with gold, than is BitGold But the reason we're sitting here today is because I was so impressed with their company after having lengthy conversations with the other co-founder, Roy Sebag, that I really agreed with Roy and I thought that the best thing for us to do was to join forces and to combine both companies to the mutual benefit of both investors and, more importantly customers of both my company SchiffGold, and GoldMoney So we've agreed on a merger and we've formed a joint venture between the two companies What I wanted to announce today is what this new joint venture means for current customers of my company, SchiffGold One of the things customers might be thinking is: "Does this mean that my experience is going to change?" GoldMoney (BitGold) is much more of an internet-based program where people are not interacting with live representatives The answer to that question is no. Nothing is going to change regarding the our customers' relationships with SchiffGold In fact, what we're hoping to achieve is to bring some of that personal service to the current GoldMoney customers

During this 40+ minute interview, Charles talks extensively about his in depth research into the financials of the Clinton Foundation and the potential more than $100 billion in solicitation and wire fraud they may have committed. Charles talks about how this charity went out of its way to not have any required financial statements and audits since its inception in 1997. Charles thinks there's potentially millions of cases of wire fraud and solicitation fraud in all US states, national charges and also international charges for fraud against the Clinton Foundation. Jason also asks Charles about the Hillary Clinton email scandal. To wrap up the interview, Jason then asks Charles about why the US stock market hasn't crashed yet given how bad things are in the global economy, why holding physical gold is a good idea and how the US economy can be fixed long term and put on much sounder footing.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main interviewed returning guest, Bitgold https://www.bitgold.com/ co-founder and the Chief Strategy Officer of Bitgold, Josh Crumb. New articles on Bitgold software free for users: 1) http://www.pymnts.com/news/b2b... 2) http://www.financialpost.com/m/wp/blog... During this 20+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Josh why gold has rallied in US Dollar terms since December? Josh talks about negative real interest rates and how the gold bull market has actually been going on for more than 2 years in other currencies besides the US Dollar. Jason and Josh discuss negative interest rate policy and the attempt by many global central banks to implement financial repression. Josh says that gold will be an even more attractive alternative for investment and savings the more attempts central banks try at manipulating interest rates down or taxing people to keep money at a bank account as part of negative interest rate policy or NIRP. Jason then starts asking Josh a lot of questions about the Bitgold business model like what problems in the market was Bitgold created to solve? Bitgold has recently added the ability for businesses to pay payrolls in gold and pay dividends in gold for free to users and Bitgold is rapidly approaching 1 million users/customers in a little over a year. If you want to learn more about Bitgold, this is a informative interview from Josh about where the company is now and where it's going!
Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on first time guest, former reporter, money researcher and Bitcoin and Crypto Currency Expert, David Seaman https://www.youtube.com/user/davidseamanonline David has over 10k subscribers on his YouTube channel and can be contacted on his Twitter handle: @d_seaman During this 30+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking David about his background. David talks about how he was a reporter with a math background who was researching the NSA and our online security and he found out some of the bad things the BSA was doing with the data of American citizens before Edward Snowden did. David became fascinated with gold, Bitgold, Bitcoin and crypto currencies and he began researching about money and reading many technical, white papers about Bitcoin. David takes pride reading complicated white papers on the math and technology behind Bitcoin and Ethereum and explaining them in easier to understand terms for videos on his YouTube channel and in his written paid newsletter. Jason asks David about the problems with Bitcoin in layman's terms and if Bitcoin developers are working on fixing them asap? David says Bitcoin is in a difficult transition now and it was originally designed to only have added security measures to prevent it from being hacked rather than the source code being made for lots of extra innovation. Jason then asks David about the other crypto currencies like Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc and what differences, if any, they have between themselves and Bitcoin? David calls these coins copycats using copy and past from the Bitcoin source code but he says the real innovations from Bitcoin and the block chain technology are from Ethereum, which he calls Bitcoin 2.0 on his videos. Jason then asks David more about Ethereum and the innovations. Jason and David have an interesting discussion about gold, debt based fiat currency and the problems with the current money system now. Jason asks David if he is seeing increased usage of Bitcoin and Bitgold in collapsing countries like Venezuela, Argentina, etc? To wrap up the interview, Jason asks David why he likes gold and Bitgold a lot?
Jason Burack and Mo Dawoud of Wall St for Main St did a review of how 2016 is playing out and how accurate their report they released in January 2016 is.

Darrell MacMullin is the CEO of one of Canada’s fastest growing public companies, BitGold. In this hour long conversation we talk about Darrell’s journey from Chapter’s in the early days of e-commerce in Canada to his roles with eBay Canada, PayPal Canada and now BitGold.
Darrell MacMullin, CEO of BitGold and former President of PayPal Canada, visits. At a time when banks are preparing for bail-ins to shore up their balance sheets, reallocating savings as possible outside of the banking system may be prudent. BitGold has the potential to become “PayPal on steroids,” the steroid being gold. Its value, unlike fiat money, does not require healthy banks. Combined with modern technology BitGold leads to a less expensive payment system than PayPal. With a PayPal-like technology in hand and using gold to reduce transaction costs, BitGold not only provides you with a legally safe option outside an increasingly dangerous banking system, but it has the potential to richly reward investors in BitGold's parent, GoldMoney (T-XAU/USOTC-BTGDF). We will look to Darrell to explain BitGold's many services for consumers as well as the company's business prospects. Chen Lin will also join us to update us on his favorite stocks in the bio-pharmaceutical space.
Ellen Brown and Roy Sebag return as guests. As the debt and equity markets once again enter crash mode and as the world careens toward bankruptcy, the Fed and other central banks are planning to use your wealth one more time to save the 1% and their banker friends. Ellen will explain why your savings are at risk despite FDIC insurance. People do not realize their checking or savings accounts are not legally their own money, but rather an unsecured loan to the bank. As an over-indebted global economy defaults, leading to bad loans and insolvent banks, central planners have arranged the passing of laws to confiscate your deposits through bail-ins. Your money is at risk! That's why you should move as much of it as possible ASAP out of the banking system into alternative places of storage. We will ask Ellen for safe storage ideas and then Roy, whose GoldMoney payment system is outside of the banking system, will explain how GoldMoney can help shield your wealth from the bankers.
Personal savings is designed to be built over time. Gold is an asset which may not be growing exponentially, but it continues to hold its value. Our guest, Joshua Crumb, runs the service company BitGold. BitGold is a software-based service which allows users to sign up at no cost and to buy gold or other precious metals at any time and in any amount they choose. Joshua has an extensive background including working for Goldman Sachs in the Global Economy division. He shares his thoughts on inflation, flaws in the federal system and his thoughts on why millennials may not have the leverage to invest in real estate.

Roy Sebag and Michael Oliver return. James Turk's dream for GoldMoney.com was for gold to return as money. His patents combined with modern technology have led to the construction of a BitGold platform that enables you to once again use gold as money. Simply load your Master Card with grams of gold and purchase goods and services as you would with any other credit card. But this Bitgold platform is more than a retail credit card. It is not only a PayPal-like system but superior in that it enables commercial transactions at less cost than ordinary international payments systems. For that reason your host loves GoldMoney (AKA BitGold) both as a consumer and as an investor in GoldMoney Inc. (OTC-BTGDF). CEO Roy Sebag will explain why Gold Money is potentially superior to PayPal and how you can use the BitGold payment platform to enhance your wealth. Michael Oliver will return to update us on his latest technical revelations on the stock, bond and precious metals markets.
Learn from James Turk, co-author of The Money Bubble: What to do before it pops and The Coming Collapse of the Dollar. How government debt got out of control, why what is happening in Greece will eventually happen in the US and many other countries around the world, why the crisis that happened in 2008 will happen again, what "real wealth" is and what "financial wealth" is, how Goldmoney.com was devised in 1979 before the technology for it existed, future forms of currency and e-commerce, what Goldmoney.com is, what BitGold is, how currency evolves over time, the next global online commerce, and James' predictions for gold prices and mining stocks.
Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Bitgoldhttps://www.bitgold.com/, Josh Crumb. Josh is also a serial entrepreneur. His full bio is here: Josh Crumb is the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of BitGold. He is an entrepreneur with a background in early stage global businesses. Josh was previously the Senior Metals Strategist at Goldman Sachs in the Global Economics, Commodities and Strategies research division in London. He also held various positions within the Lundin group of companies, serving as Director of Corporate Development and Special Project Analyst for group chairman Lukas Lundin. Currently, Josh is a director of three Canadian listed public companies and plays a large role in many philanthropic organizations. He holds a Master of Science degree in Mineral Economics, a Graduate Certificate in International Political Economy, and Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines.During this 25+ minute interview, Jason asks Josh why he and his co-founder of Bitgold, Roy Sebag decided to get into the gold business? Next, Jason asks Josh for an explanation of how Bitgold works. Josh says it allows for people to immediately buy and transact in gold close to spot prices, store in 6 vaults in different countries and also take delivery of the gold quickly even in small amounts. Josh thinks Bitgold allows the individual to be on a personal gold standard without governments backing their currencies with gold. To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Josh to address some very common and prevalent objections and misconceptions about Bitgold in the gold community and among gold bugs.
Roy Sebag, CEO of Bitgold, and James Turk of GoldMoney will explain how you can profit from the merger of GoldMoney into the crypto world of Bitgold. Turk has sought to use technology to enable people to use gold as money once again. His belief that Roy's BitGold holds the answer led him to merge GoldMoney into Bitgold, which company's shares now trade publicly in Canada. Bitgold enables holders of gold to load their credit cards with a portion of their GoldMoney holdings for the purchase goods and services just as you would with any other credit card. Self serving Paul Tustain, CEO of Bullion Vault, expressed criticism against the newly merged company suggesting people who keep their gold at GoldMoney may lose it in bankruptcy. Sebag and Turk will address those criticisms and talk about potential profits for equity investors in Bitgold. Drost will join me to provide an update on the progress of Carlisle Gold's emerging mine which is moving forward with partner Aurico Gold Inc.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, former top hedge fund manager and chairman of the Sprott group of companies http://www.sprott.com/, Eric Sprott. During this 25+ minute interview Jason asks Eric about his expert opinion on many important topics including interest rates and financial repression, what's really going on in the US economy, Bitgold, production costs for gold and silver miners, and a review of the fundamentals of the gold and silver market. Eric thinks anything can be manipulated now for awhile in markets and no major liquidations are allowed anymore.
