With no need for a centralized authority, blockchain technology is completely reengineering our existing systems and services. This is the second episode of a 4-part series dedicated to discussing blockchain, cryptocurrency, and the tokenization of assets. We move into the nuts and bolts of blockchain, decentralized ledgers, and why it matters. Today's guest is Avi Spielman, the Founder and President of Joon Properties, who is well known as a translator between the two industries of real estate and blockchain. During our conversation, Avi defines the fundamental features of blockchain as an innovative technology, emphasizing its decentralized nature around trust and trustless transactions, and analyzes the effect it is already having on our existing systems, services and marketplaces. With an eye to the future, Avi gives us an example of a fully integrated framework using blockchain, AI and IoT, which is a premonition of what's to come. With a background in real estate, Avi was attending MIT to receive his Masters in Real Estate Development when he became involved in the school's Digital Currency Initiative. Soon after, he found himself preparing a thesis on the Intersection of Real Estate and Blockchain, and he's been an active pioneer in the space ever since. Avi is passionate about digitization and eager to see the real estate industry adopt more innovative systems, using blockchain technology as a means to that end.

The Bitcoin 2021 Conference in Miami was a huge success, and a monumental event in bitcoin's history. Over 13k people descended on Miami to come together, meet each other, build relationships, talk bitcoin, and have fun. There was lots of tears, and special moments that many of us will remember for the rest of our lives. I thought it would be fun to get some of the organizers from BTC Media together to discuss what went on behind the scenes, how it all came together, and what made it so special for all of them.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Mathew Nemer. Matt is the co-founder of GetLinus.IO, a fintech company that is changing the game when it comes to what banking is and getting great returns on your savings. Linus pays over 57 times that national average interest on clients’ accounts and is able to do so by taking advantage of blockchain technology and the decentralized, digital asset credit markets. Don’t worry if that went a little over your head, because Mathew explains it a lot better and simpler than me. The important thing I want to discuss today is the future of banking and finance and how companies like Linus are at the forefront. And we are also going to discuss how Mathew was able to get a rag tag group of IBM’ers, former founders, and top software execs to join his crew and make Linus a reality. www.GetLinus.io Matt’s career was launched in 2008. He started with a wealth management firm/hedge fund and hustled to make a name for himself. With all the carnage happening in the markets, he knew that the firm probably wouldn’t keep him, so he went to grad school and finished tops in his class. He worked at Chicago Board of Trade during school in the grain pits. He then worked at Morningstar in 2012 as analyst. He started his first startup in 2012. As he says, he didn’t know what he was doing. It didn’t pan out. He then moved to Nashville and took a job with Vanderbilt University. It was at this time, he started to learn about Blockchain and Bitcoin and started following it. In 2016, he noticed that BTC Media was gaining steam and Bitcoin meetups were becoming more common. He started doing work on the side for people doing ICO’s to get his feet wet. He then worked for BTC Media as their CFO. He was recruited by some other companies in the space and pitched an idea to one of them and landed with a crypto wallet company. This is where he met his business partner, who worked at IBM in the blockchain area. They were working on ideas on the side and decided to build the idea of Linus on their own. They got funding and put the pieces of the team together. At the 10:30 mark, Matt and I discuss our current money system to set a baseline for what he does at Linus. (It’s best to just listen) How does Linus work? It is a cash deposit account, similar to a high yield savings accounts. The difference is that Linus gives 4%+ interest. T hey can do this by tapping into the digital asset credit markets outside the FED system. Borrowers in these markets will pay higher interest to borrow US dollars. Linus is considered a Fintech company. They only deal with fiat dollars (like the US dollars), but use a blockchain concept. The platform does the conversion of fiat to crypto assets and handles the lending process. It functions like a bank account and you can deposit or withdrawal any time you want. Break it down for us all to understand… There are people that need USD to purchase cryptocurrencies and are willing to pay more interest for the ability to do. Linus helps to provide this money. It is similar to a money market type of account. It is a global market that Linus taps into. Because people are willing to pay higher rates for the money, the amount Linus can pay customers is higher. The borrowers put up collateral and have to store more collateral in escrow with Linus than they borrow, so that Linus has claim to it if they don’t pay. How do you address that you are not FDIC protected, etc.? Linus is outside the FED system, so it would not participate. Linus does not do fractional reserve banking, so it would not apply to them anyway and they would not get approved. The FDIC doesn’t even currently have to a reserve ratio because of the CARES act. Matt says that if you do truly feel you need to know that the money is there no matter what in the matter of 3-6 months, then invest in something like a Marcus account. If you are looking for a solution between traditional low interest savings accounts and investing in the markets, which carries minimal risk, Linus or a solution like it may be a good option for you. At the 27 min mark, Matt talks about risk and the “efficient frontier.” What else should we know about blockchain and the emerging digital ecosystems? Matt is a big fan of Bitcoin and Etherium Linus is built on the Etherium ecosystem. Bitcoin is the largest and most widely used. Bitcoin is more like gold in that it is a deflationary currency – it is predictable like gold. There is a limit to amount of Bitcoin that can ever exist. It is finite. A lot of people haven’t notice that most of the big players and banks are going into cryptocurrency and positioning themselves to be the players in the space. At the 34 min mark, Matt shares the example of JP Morgan getting into crypto and creating it’s own stable coin (digital dollars). The technologies JP Morgan/Chase and others are using are the same ones Linus is, so it confirms they are headed in the right direction. What have you learned so far in this venture about entrepreneurship? It is an interesting time to be an entrepreneur because ideas can grow so well. We need to be careful not to get stuck in the day to day. Take a step back and look at the longer-term opportunities. It’s important embrace the digital world and interact with people as much as possible and in every way possible during this time. “The best thing you can do in your life an career is put blinders on. Don’t waste energy worrying about things you cannot control.” How were you able to get a team of top talent like you have pulled together for Linus? The best place to start is with like-minded people. Network through friends and those you work with currently. Be open to people that are unique and have other skills sets or experience that lends it to succeeding in your business. Even if they don’t have experience in the business you are in. ​ What is your best advice for an entrepreneur starting today? Put on blinders Find joy in other things. Don’t forget to learn lessons from all areas of your life. Practice passive thinking. Sometimes synapsis fire and connect better when you are away from your business.   Best Quote: "The best thing you can do in your life an career is put blinders on. Don’t waste energy worrying about things you cannot control."   Matt's Misfit 3: Be yourself. It sounds cliché, but it is actually really hard to put into practice. Grow your network. You will owe a lot of people a lot of favors. Do your best to repay them. Persistence is king. You cannot give up.

“The legacy of our civilization is a state based on a hierarchical system of control and specialization of labor, which leads to all of the modern problems we have. To create a different kind of society, that's free, where people have liberty and natural wealth, the emerging field of cryptography offers us power." -Amir Taaki With markets around the world plunging into a downward spiral, now is a great time to revisit the original reasons why people started working on Bitcoin. Amir Taaki was one of Bitcoin’s first-ever dedicated developers and perhaps the one most infamously focused on maintaining privacy and freedom from authority.  In 2014, Taaki created Dark Wallet, the first privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet to include a CoinJoin mixer. That same year, he received even more notoriety as Dark Wallet was twice named in the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) report on the potential money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks posed by cryptocurrencies.  In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with Taaki, who after years spent working with the Syrian Democratic Forces fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and helping build their society, is now contributing to multiple cryptocurrency and privacy projects not yet revealed to the public. Taaki takes a critical, perhaps unwarranted, view on the Bitcoin movement of today, but he also has a valuable perspective on many of the topics covered. Topics: What Bitcoiners can learn from the Free Software movement How Bitcoin has changed between 2014 and today, and why Taaki believes the ecosystem needs to create a new narrative. The pros and cons of American startup culture on Bitcoin's development How Taaki' opposing views of Bitcoin led to conflict with Gavin Andresen, and later the creation of the BIP system. How Taaki believes the Bitcoin of today is not radical enough The limits of mesh networks at a large scale Why Bitcoin needs a stronger narrative to defend against co-option by larger corporate and state entities. What Bitcoiners can learn from Taaki's experience helping build an autonomous free society in Syria The narrative the Bitcoin ecosystem needs to adopt according to Taaki Nym, the Barcelona hacker academy and Taaki's other unpublicized projects The similarities and limits of comparing Bitcoin to religion.

What is Bitcoin? This question is constantly posed to us at Bitcoin Magazine. The truth is that the answer varies depending on who you ask. With the recent economic shock from the global spread of COVID19, now feels like the right time to revisit it. In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with Yassine Elmandjra, crypto analyst at Ark Invest about whether or not Bitcoin does and should correlate to the stock market and global economy more broadly. Yassine doesn't claim to know what Bitcoin is, but he has a firm grasp of the many things it can be in a realistic future, and more importantly, he has a lot of experience explaining its value to less familiar and more skeptical peers and institutions.  Topics: The downfall of breathing narratives into existence  Bitcoin bugs and the believers of digital gold Why noncorrelated assets are essential for mitigating risk How Bitcoin could potentially separate not just money from the state but also property and the state How Ark uses the Sovereign Individual thesis  Who is going to support Bitcoin's development The Cash App's connection to Square Crypto Underhyped v. overhyped Resources: Ark Newsletter Cash App beating Venmo Hunger Games: Libra Addition Twitter: Yassine Elmandjra (@YassineARK) Dave (@dshollers) Bitcoin Magazine Sponsors: Etoro DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

In this episode, Dave Hollerith interviews journalist and author, Brian Merchant, on a recent story he wrote about a darknet website that offers murder-for-hire services. Part hoax and part reality, Merchant's investigation into this scam marketplace led him into a world of white hat hackers, fake hitmen, murderous spouses and real-world victims. He explains that although this dark corner of the internet is essentially fake, it has drastically harmed the lives of innocent people and blurred the line between virtual anonymous markets and real-world life and death consequences. Topics: The origins of online assassination markets. How Chris Monterio hacked into the backend of a murder-for-hire scam website How the murder-for-hire scam had terrifying real-world implications on innocent people The frustratingly slow pace at which law enforcement investigated the issue How Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are implicated in these scams How future scenarios could play out for online assassination markets Resources: Click Here To Kill (Harper's Magazine) Chris Monterio’s blog (Pirate Dot London) Twitter: Brian Merchant (@bcmerchant) Dave (@dshollers) Bitcoin Magazine Sponsors: Etoro DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

In this episode, Dave Hollerith speaks with Coinfloor's Obi Nwosu and Blockstack's Muneeb Ali, two leaders who have run companies in the community since 2013.  Coinfloor is the U.k.'s largest cryptocurrency exchange while Blockstack is a developer platform and network trying to build a new internet. Though different in what types of product they offer, both companies are taking innovative and even perhaps opposing strategies for how they can and should successfully leverage Bitcoin.

“I’ve come to believe charity depends on finding those people who can truly execute on the ground, those real-life angels. Bitcoin is one of the best things for these people because they can work with it. They are completely transparent, they don’t have to go through any of the financial hoops. Most of all, they can convert it to anything, anywhere. It’s beautiful.” —Ray Youssef, CEO of Paxful While speculation and "hodling" are store of value qualities mainly used for bitcoin in North America and Europe, it's also being used as a tool for unlocking the world's unrealized capital by serving the unbanked. Paxful is one company leading this charge by offering bitcoin as a medium of exchange for people in developing countries. In this episode, Dave Hollerith interviews the CEO of Paxful, Ray Youssef, about how his peer-to-peer exchange has enabled a new economy of currency exchange and payments all through the use of Bitcoin. Additionally, Dave asks Ray about his philosophy and experience in social good and how it directly ties into Paxful's initiative for building schools across the world. Interesting Topics: How Paxful enables Bitcoin as a medium of exchange Why Bitcoin's potential to bring real change is occurring in developing places like Africa and Central America How Paxful navigates both regulation and scams as a peer-to-peer exchange A growing commercial corridor for Bitcoin and iTunes gift cards between Africa and China A growing class of entrepreneurs who build businesses off of Paxful Paxful's #BuildingwithBitcoin philanthropy initiative Bitcoin 2020 Conference in SF Resources: Bitcoin and Gift Cards Are Fueling a Million Dollar Remittance Market In Africa (Bitcoin Magazine) Bitcoin Scam Defense (Paxful)  BuildwithBitcoin.org ZamZam Water Twitter: Ray Youssef (@raypaxful) Dave (@dshollers) Bitcoin Magazine  Sponsors: Etoro DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

“Everybody has a bias, the important thing is not to Grandstand about having no bias. We see this with internet privacy in general, the narrative is framed by saying, some criminals are using it so let’s make the privacy worse for 99% of users who are law-abiding. That's problematic because at some point it's going to fall into the wrong hands.” —Matt Odell Bitcoin is a tool for financial freedom, but not everyone who buys it understands that this means it also comes with more individual responsibility. In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with Matt Odell, an active privacy advocate and educator in the Bitcoin Community, to discuss: Bitcoin 2020 Conference in SF The most effective ways to educate people about Bitcoin Bitcoin narratives from the mainstream media The problem with the Bitcoin payment app, PEI Why Tor was a major part of the blocksize debate Opsec and privacy tips (SIM swaps) What Matt thinks is overhyped V. underhyped Readings: Bitcoin Time Traveler (Reddit) Bitcoin Has Lost Steam...

“While there is a reasonable use case for Bitcoin in the US, I would argue its a “nice to have versus a lot of other parts of the world like Lebanon where owning Bitcoin is almost like an act of survival to preserve your savings.” - Mark Saroufim In this two-part series, Dave Hollerith interviews members of Lebanon's diaspora migrant population to understand the country's current financial crisis and why Bitcoin is both an important asset for mitigating its risks as well as how it could play a roll in the country's downturned economy.  In this episode (Part 2), Hollerith talks with a Lebanese Bitcoiner, Mark Saroufim, about how Bitcoin is ultimately fitting into Lebanon's downturned economy. Topics discussed: News information through Twitter, as opposed to political party, owned news companies Lebanon's The Whatsapp tax How inflation and unemployment are starting to change spending habits. Government-issued “haircuts”  Consequences of the lira's devaluation: more crime and scams  Why Mark's Grandma understands Bitcoin   How a rogue Discord community wants to send Bitcoin to Lebanese friends and family Resources: Why do the Lebanese People Suddenly Care About Bitcoin?

“The next year or two is going to give very interesting examples of the role of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in countries that are like Lebanon — where people, on the one hand, are well-educated, wealthy, and have access to information and on the other hand, are facing a banking crisis that has led a lot of them to distrust their banks.” -Mike Azar In this two-part series, Dave Hollerith interviews members of Lebanon's diaspora migrant population to understand the country's current financial crisis and why Bitcoin is both an important asset for mitigating its risks as well as how it could play a roll in helping those who live in Lebanon.  This episode (Part 1) focuses on understanding the current Lebanese financial crisis in all it's complex historical, political and economic turmoil. Dave talks with Mike Azar, a financial consultant and lecturer, who walks him through how the Lebanese financial crisis started and what it could mean for the countries future. Topics discussed: How Lebanon's diaspora plays a crucial role in this crisis. How political and economic mismanagement led Lebanon into its currently tenuous economic position. Why the Lebanese central bank's insolvency is unique. How economic factors such as inflation, unemployment, and civil unrest will likely get worse in Lebanon's near future. The hard decisions that must be made to prevent the crisis from getting worse. What current solutions like Bitcoin or a central bank-backed digital currency are currently being discussed to help mitigate the crisis.

In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with A Boy Named Pseu (Phil Gibson). He is a libertarian writer and podcaster whose journey in understanding Bitcoin is more recent yet rooted by a longterm interest in Austrian economics and agorism. To test his understanding of what actually happened to Bitcoin in 2019, Pseu recently wrote a Medium post, "Bitcoin Is Dead." In it he argues why Bitcoin's growth stands out as uniquely different from how it has been portrayed by mainstream media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal. Topics of discussion: Understanding Bitcoin as an educational growth opportunity Bitcoin Is Dead - high-level concepts and real-world examples for newcomers on what happened to Bitcoin in 2019.

In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with Kiara Bickers, author of Bitcoin Clarity: A Guide To Understanding Bitcoin. Bitcoin Clarity is different from other Bitcoin guides because it takes uses "systems thinking" by explaining how and why each part of Bitcoin's system evolved into what it is today.  Topics included in the discussion: Independent publishing Approximating decentralization Bitcoin as a trustless time chain The value and limits of information Why Bitcoin Clarity does not dig into privacy How science and art should not be separated  Links: Bitcoin Clarity Kiara Bickers on Twitter Dave Hollerith on Twitter Bitcoin Magazine on Twitter Sponsors: Etoro DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

For almost a decade, Bitcoiners from all across the world have celebrated January 3 as Bitcoin’s bonafide birthday. It was on that date in 2009 that Satoshi Nakamoto mined Bitcoin’s genesis block and it was this first successful hash computation that defined the political purpose of Bitcoin with the embedded message: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks.” Simply put, Bitcoin is an instrument that is specifically designed to resist the inflationary urges of monetary politics, and its qualities empower individuals to become sovereign. However, the business sector that developed and blossomed around Bitcoin has not always remained true to the cypherpunk origins that created it; Often times, exchanges and lending services impose withdrawal limits, freeze accounts and find other ways to arbitrarily restrict users’ access to their funds. In this episode, Bitcoin Magazine's Vlad Costea interviews long-time Bitcoiner Trace Mayer. They discuss how some cryptocurrency businesses tend to restrict the concept of sovereignty that the technology was meant to protect, and Mayer's response to the phenomenon, the Proof of Keys event, held every year on January 3.

"In Bitcoin, some of the best ideas occur when somebody has just taken the time to sit down and just really break down each concept in writing, and articulated it in a 15 to 20-minute article." -Guy Swann In this episode, Dave Hollerith talks with Guy Swann, host of the Cryptoconomy podcast. Guy's show has become a staple in the Bitcoin community for curating and recording some of the best long-form articles about Bitcoin.  Dave and Guy discuss Guy's curation process, what makes a compelling Bitcoin read, Bitcoin maximalism as a reaction to the 2017 ICO boom, some of the historical metaphors used to explain Bitcoin and how technology like Bitcoin and the internet are changing sovereignty.  Resources mentioned in the episode: A Most Peaceful Revolution Bitcoin Reformation Cryptoconomy website Bitcoin Time Traveller (Updated 2019) Bitcoin Is Worse Is Better (CryptoQuikRead)  The Sovereign Individual Twitter: Guy Swann (@TheCryptoconomy) Dave Hollerith (@DsHollers) Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) Sponsors: Celsius Network - Enter "BITCOINMAG" to get $10 off any deposit over $200 Etoro DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

The work of blockchain analysis companies such as Chainalysis isn’t always welcomed by privacy advocates. However, if you're a Bitcoiner who cares about the future of the industry, this work is always worth watching.  And there tend to be two great narratives that we hear about how these companies affect Bitcoin. One is that they bring more transparency and in turn increase Bitcoin’s adoption and legitimacy. The other is that they are leveraging data from the Bitcoin blockchain to provide better surveillance for corporate entities and nation-states at the expense of financial privacy.  Coming to the end of what appears to be a successful year of growth, Chainalysis cut 20 percent of its workforce back in November.  Today I’ve got an interview with Philip Gradwell, he’s the Chief Economist at Chainalysis. We talk about what exactly is gleaned from blockchain analysis products, why they are seeing so much growth in Asia Pacific, why they cut 39 employees and whether they are putting resources into tracking off-chain transactions (final question).

"If we continue down this road where we have no privacy and governments and corporations know every single thing about us because of these surveillance devices we're all carrying around in our pockets, technology becomes our only hope really." - Bruce Fenton In this episode, Bitcoin Magazine staff writer, Vlad Costea, interviews Bruce Fenton, CEO of Chainstone Labs and Satoshi Roundtable. Longtime Bitcoin advocate Bruce Fenton discusses his early days in Bitcoin, scaling debates, the pros and pitfalls of a purely Bitcoin maximalism and his outlook on privacy.

In this episode, Dave interviews Catherine Coley, CEO of Binance.US. Binance is the largest global cryptocurrency exchange in the world, but they have avoided competing in the US until a few months ago. To remain compliant with regulations, Binance.US is its own company. In October, during the time that Binance.Us launched, Binance captured 60 percent of legitimate cryptocurrency trading volume, their highest share of the global market since March. In this interview, Coley explains how Binance.US happened, what it has been like to face competitive and regulatory hurdles launching a cryptocurrency exchange and what stage Binance.US is at now coming to the end of their first quarter.  Resources: Binance to  Block All US Users, Launch Regulation Compliant Spinoff Site Binance.Us and Tagomi Partner to Offer Institutional Liquidity and Access Twitter: Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) Dave Hollerith (@DsHollers) Catherine Coley (@cryptocoley) Sponsors: Celsius Network - Enter "BITCOINMAG" to get $10 off any deposit over $200 Etoro DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

In this episode, Dave talks with Alex Gladstein about the recent news that China and President Xi Jinping, have publicly expressed admiration for blockchain technology. This news spiked the Bitcoin price at the beginning of November, but Gladstein is weary for what China's public praise could mean for cryptocurrency in general. Gladstein recognizes that blockchain technology by itself is really just a mechanism for control and surveillance of financial data. He believes from a human rights perspective that the real value of the blockchain comes from decentralization, which is essential to Democracy. He states that Bitcoin is the greatest example of a decentralized blockchain and that in the wrong hands, this technology would be used as a tool for tyranny instead of freedom.  In China, It's Blockchain and Tyranny vs Bitcoin and Freedom Twitter: Dave Hollerith (@DsHollers) Alex Gladstein (@gladstein) Sponsors: Celsius Network - Enter "BITCOINMAG" to get $10 off any deposit over $200 Etoro Haven - Get $5 in Bitcoin, Litecoin or Zcash DISCLAIMER: The following content is for informational purposes only.

People will always need banking, but now, more than ever, we're beginning to see that people don't necessarily need banks. Emerging apps such as PEI offer consumers opportunities to grow their finances outside of credit card companies.  In this episode, Dave Hollerith interviews Tom Bachar, Co-founder, and CEO of PEI to find out how they do it. Pei is a mobile card-linked cash-back app with banking functionalities that helps people save money. You basically link your existing debit or credit cards to the app and then when you make purchases at select merchants you get rewards in BTC or cash. The two dive into what PEI offers, how they make money and how they treat user data.

In this episode, the guys bring on Brandon Green, another Bitcoin Magazine staffer, to talk about a spicy op-ed he recently wrote about the Bitcoin mining energy consumption problem. Brandon flips the problem on its head by asking, why more energy companies aren’t seeing the business opportunity in servicing cryptocurrency mining companies.

Nashville has long been the center of the healthcare industry and with Amazon's announcement to establish a 5000 job branch there, it's no secret that they could potentially expand their already dominant services into the healthcare sector.

On this episode of Distributed Dialogues Dave, Grahm and Rick explore a non-traditional approach to treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: psychedelic drugs. Traditional methods of treating PTSD have left much to be desired, not only by those who suffer from it, but from their loved ones as well. This has led to a growing number of people exploring experimental treatments, including many who travel great distances for ayahuasca ceremonies. While these techniques still have a long way to go to reach a mainstream audience, the numbers on their effectiveness don't lie. One such research center is The Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS): a program that has received millions of dollars in funding from Bitcoin.

Artificial intelligence is a big term, it's often misused and applies to a number of different applications and industries. It's also very polarizing and people usually fall into one of two camps; either they're wild fanboys about it or terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

Data could quite possibly be the buzz-word of the 21st century. This is especially true in terms of health data, which is what this episode is all about. As a topic, health data is a behemoth not unlike the Death Star; so, we spend time in this episode pulling it apart piece by piece, and in the end, we may just have a happy ending via a hard to find thermal exhaust port.

This week we had a lot of action, a lot of fun, and a lot of guests spanning a variety of topics.  Special thanks to our sponsor Stamps.com. Use the code ”Moroz” to get the promo from the show. We had our friend Lyn Ulbricht back on to give us the latest update on Ross.  We remind everyone to sign the petition to help him get clemency for his double life sentence for all non-violent charges, which you can find here.  Frederick, who is a relatively new, but very cool friend came on the show talking about Mondo.NYC which focused on music and tech.  As a performer and panelist, I was really excited to learn more about what to expect. Fred is really enthusiastic and I look forward to having him back on! Chris told me all about the latest news at the LTB Network, as well as the upcoming Nashville conference Distributed Health (https://health.distributed.com/).  He has great energy, just like the rest of the BTC Media team.  Plus, who doesn’t love Nashville! Finally, Rafael told us all about what it’s like to live life off of one bitcoin!  What a whirlwind of travel, we can’t wait till his video is released. Learn where to support him and possibly gain visibility for your brand with the links below.   About the Guests: Lyn Ulbricht is the mother of Ross Ulbricht, a peaceful 33-year old and alleged creator of the Silk Road website. Ross was sentenced to double life without parole for all non-violent charges. Since Ross’ arrest Lyn has strived to direct awareness beyond the sensationalism to issues at stake and how the case impacts freedom in the digital age. She has spoken at numerous events; appeared on many TV, radio and podcast shows, including Reason TV, CNN, HuffPost Live and Fox; and conducted interviews with major and alternative media, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes and The Guardian. She is also featured in the documentary Deep Web.   When not working to raise awareness, Lyn focuses on raising funds for Ross’s appeal through www.freeross.org Frederick Steinmann has advised early stage tech, media and crypto companies in matters of accounting, finance, tax, strategy and business development.  From 2004-2007 Fred worked at Cohn Reznick on music, media, tech and hospitality clients. At the 7 years Fred spent at Blackstone implemented technology and processes to scale from a private company to a public company and was a key member of the finance team.  Fred first learned about Ethereum in 2016, but did not buy, at a crowd funding conference at Baruch College. In October 2017 Fred decided to go all in with implementation of Blockchain technology to rebuild the Financial infrastructure in the Media & Entertainment industries.  It is Fred’s mission to find new ways to discover talent and create new financial eco system. Fred joined Mondo.NYC in February 2017 and is a partner responsible to find and develop business relationships, operations, strategy and finance.

Rafael was born in Poland, grew up in Portland. Just a few letters different — but worlds apart. He learned about Bitcoin in 2011 — he didn’t understand until all the way in 2017. Since then he dedicated his resources, passion, and curiosity to the blockchain — and how it’ll give people around the world true financial freedom.

David Bailey, CEO of BTC Media, discusses the recent shutdown of BTC-eand its mysterious connection to the MtGox hack which led to the exchange's demise in 2014. He also introduces Po.et, a revolutionary proof-of-existence blockchain platform. The arrest of Alexander Vinnik and seizure of the BTC-e website by the FBI in late July shed some long-awaited light on the cold case of the 650,000 bitcoins which went missing from MtGox over several years from 2011 to 2013. Upon his arrest, WizSec released a comprehensive report detailing their findings on the matter, and stating that “Vinnik is [their] chief suspect for involvement in the MtGox theft (or the laundering of the proceeds thereof).” [Read more about the developing timeline of the MtGox/BTC-e connection & the lasting regulatory legacy of the hack.] Bailey also talks about BTC Media's partnership with Po.et, whose proof-of-existence mechanism uses hashing to allow media producers to timestamp and license their content in an unalterable system which will verify and automatically issue digital ownership. Po.et combines this timestamp with metadata about the published content to build an open ledger of media assets which includes information such as the original URL, the word count, the author's name and the publisher. Po.et also enables split-equity and payments terms for writers whose work is published by BTC Media, as well as different licensing agreements. Other use cases include the re-monetization of old content and individual profile management systems for employees of media outlets. The Po.et platform will ultimately build a digital fingerprint of each author's history and preserve their portfolio on a blockchain, revolutionizing the way in which digital content is published, leveraged and monetized. twitter.com/davidfbailey btcmedia.org twitter.com/_poetproject po.et consensys.net consensysmedia.net https://itunes.apple.com//podcast/the-ether-review/id899090462?mt=2

On today’s show I get to share with all of you my great experience at Nashville’s very first Distributed Health Blockchain conference that was held on Monday October 3rd in the heart of downtown Music City USA. In addition to some amazing panel discussions and presentations by some brilliant women and men, I was also able to slip away from time to time to get some face to face interviews with some of the attendees. In this episode I include some of those interviews. But for the real meat of this conference, check out BTC Media which includes Bitcoin Magazine, yBitcoin and The Distributed Ledger. My hope is that Blockchains might also address challenges in the area of provider data management to support a new level of interoperability between payers and to ensure that updates to provider information are widely distributed in real-time.
