Saudi Arabia and UAE announced a cryptocurrency project last month. This is part of a seven-point cooperation plan. This project is experimental for now aimed at banks. What does this mean economically, politically, and religiously? During the 2017 Bull Run, there was much debate about if crypto was Halal or Sharia-Compliant. Does this mean that crypto is halal? What does this mean for oil? Saudi Arabia and UAE are two of the largest oil producers in the world. Currently, the oil is denominated in USD. Could this mean that oil could be denominated in crypto in the future? Check us out on Youtube, your favorite podcast player, or on coingamma.com/podcast.

Many companies have CEOs who pass away, unfortunately, but they usually have other leaders who can step up. Think of Apple. The issue here is that this is a crypto exchange and one person, the CEO controlled this exchange's funds. One of the biggest attraction to crypto is the fact that you are your own bank. You control your security keys which means no one can take your crypto for you. The issue is if you forget your keys, there isn’t a customer Service number to complain to; your funds are gone. Instead of using a custodian or third party, QuadrigaCX decided to manage the funds themselves, but since they are handling the funds of their clients, they should have had continuity planning. This story highlights the importance of managing your crypto and having continuity and estate planning. What good is being the only person who knows your private keys if you pass away?

On our 34th Coin Gamma Podcast, we are happy to have the Quarters team, their 12 year old CEO George B. Weiksner and Advisor Devo Harris. Quarters are the universal virtual currency for gaming, usable across different games and platforms. Players have a single wallet with Quarters. When they start playing a new game, they can transfer Quarter coins to that game. When they don’t want to play that game any more, they can transfer Quarters back to their wallet, and use them in other games. Quarters are designed specifically for playing games and not for storing value. Like classic arcade tokens (i.e. Chuck E Cheese), you can buy Quarters but you can’t redeem them outside of the gaming ecosystem. George B. Weiksner founded Pocketful of Quarters to fix this problem for himself and his friends. George is also a sixth grader at Greenwich Country Day School, in Connecticut. He is a regular speaker about cryptocurrencies and games, he has appeared in various publications, including Marketwatch, ICO Investor TV, Be Inspired, and The New York Post. He streams games on YouTube and Twitch as ThisKidCEO. Devo Harris is founder and CEO of Adventr, named one of the 100 Most Innovative Companies in the World. In the hip-hop world, he is better known as Devo Springsteen. He's won three Grammy's for his work with Kanye West and John Legend and has collaborated with Britney Spears, Nas, Aretha Franklin and Barack Obama. He's a proud graduate of Wharton and earned an MBA from Columbia Business School. He's here to help George connect the dots with cultural resonance. This is a pretty cool team that’s attacking the blockchain space with a real use case. Enjoy the show. This podcast is brought to by....… Coin Gamma.

Learn how to use Crypto Tax Loss Harvesting to save on your IRS bill with Zac McClure, founder of TokenTax [www.tokentax.co]. We hope you are enjoying the extra time with family and we know taxes are the last thing you want to think about, but we have to remind you that you have only 3 days left to harvest your Crypto Losses. The only benefit to 2018 Crypto Losses is that you can take these losses and use them to offset your tax liability. With that said, you cannot do this just by looking at the negative signs in your crypto portfolio tracker. While those losses may feel real, they are not real until you exit the position. In fact, no loss or gain is realized until you trade out of it. Until then, you are only looking at Unrealized Losses. Once the ball drops on December 31, 2018, you lose the opportunity to make these unrealized losses real in the eyes of the IRS. On this episode, we break down what Tax Loss Harvesting is, how it works, and why 2018 is the best time for Crypto Investors to use this strategy. Use the code "COINGAMMA" to get 10% off any TokenTax plan. Visit tokentax.co for more information.
