Podcast appearances and mentions of connie gallippi

Today's episode will cover events happening the week ending December 11th, 2020. This week we'll be discussing a few of the big adoption stories of the week. More information about all of the stories discussed today can be found on Talk.Bitcoin.Tax Full Show Notes: (00:23) It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to frequent listeners that large mainstream corporations and businesses are rapidly adopting cryptocurrency, generally by investing into BTC. There are a couple of whales this week, one who is no stranger to Bitcoin and one who has been around for ages, but is just now getting into the world of crypto. The new whale this week is MassMutual, an insurance company that was founded in 1851 and currently serves five million clients. Not only did they invest $100 million into Bitcoin, they also “acquired a $5 million minority equity stake in NYDIG, a subsidiary of Stone Ridge that provides cryptocurrency services to institutions”, according to Bloomberg. The familiar whale this week is MicroStrategy, who has purchased hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of BTC in the past 6 months or so. According to Cointelegraph, “The company currently sits on 40,824 BTC representing over $734 million, which represents a gain of nearly $260 million from the basis acquisition price.”  Earlier in the week, they announced that they were working to raise an additional $537 million dollars to invest in Bitcoin…but today they issued a press release stating that they have surpassed that goal by successfully raising $650 million – which is over 36,000 BTC. This means MicroStrategy will nearly double their BTC coffers, and secures their place as the number 1 publicly traded company investing in Bitcoin, according to the list at Bitcoin Treasuries.  While exciting for advocates of BTC adoption, it's been reported that traditional financial analysts are worried that the company is investing too much in BTC. (02:01) Adoption isn't only infiltrating the financial world this week. In pop culture, a movie about The Silk Road, a notorious marketplace for buying and selling illicit materials, is set to release this coming February. This mainstream recognition could be good or bad for cryptocurrency adoption. If the movie is successful, it will undoubtedly increase mainstream exposure to the world of cryptocurrency. However, illicit activities, which essentially defined The Silk Road, are often conflated with cryptocurrency in general, since purchased on The Silk Road were made with cryptocurrency. (02:33) In music, the popular music and podcast streaming app Spotify may be the next big company to embrace crypto, at least according to a recent job listing. According to FXstreet, “A job offer posted by Spotify recently on Lever, an end-to-end talent acquisition platform, seems to indicate that the giant audio streaming service is looking at potentially enabling cryptocurrency payments.” (03:06) Finally, in the art world, Beeple, a popular contemporary online graphic designer, has gone all in on NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Beeple, the alias of Mike Winkelmann, is known for his long running daily abstract digital art releases. Beeple first ventured into NFTs by offering his first collection of unique art-based NFTs during the presidential election. Today, and throughout the weekend, Beeple is dropping his second collection, which will include a number of his daily art works, auctioned off in the form of NFTs. Of course, anyone can view his art for free, but as his FAQ states “This for people who are interested in COLLECTING artwork, which is a very different experience. I want people to feel like they can truly own, collect, and display this artwork in a way that feels more exciting and engaging than just viewing a picture on Instagram.” Some of the NFTs also include a physical token that will be shipped to the winning bidder. If you haven't heard of Beeple, I would definitely suggest checking his unique art-style out. Check out this week's BitcoinTaxes episode – we talked to the CEO of BitGive, Connie Gallippi, and cryptocurrency tax pro Matt Metras about how donating crypto can benefit you, help others, and encourage adoption.

Today's episode will cover events happening the week ending November 13th, 2020. This week, Bitcoin Cash is undergoing a hard fork over the weekend, President-Elect's Biden's transition team gains a crypto savvy financial lead, and the first decentralized philanthropy conference is right around the corner! More Info @ Talk.Bitcoin.Tax Full Show Notes: (00:29) First up – the seemingly inevitable Bitcoin Cash hard fork is happening this weekend. If you've been following this podcast, or keeping current with all things BCH, you'll know that there's been an ideological split between two implementations of Bitcoin Cash. That ideological split is right on the edge of becoming an actual coin split. For those unfamiliar, Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that exists as a result of an August 2017 fork from the original Bitcoin. Subsequently, in 2018, BCH was forked into two different versions of the coin; for all intents and purposes, those two resulting coins were known as Bitcoin ABC (Adjustable Blocksize Cap) and Bitcoin SV (Satoshi's Vision). It can be a bit confusing but, as Coinmarketcap says, “Bitcoin ABC became the dominant chain and took over the BCH ticker”. So, as of now, when we discuss the BCH ticker, we are referring to the dominant coin - Bitcoin ABC. Bitcoin SV is referred to as BSV. However, the Bitcoin ABC dominance could be in danger. Back in August, Amaury Séchet, a leading developer of BCH, released a blog post detailing the plan for a November 2020 Bitcoin Cash Network Upgrade. The plan did not sit well with everyone involved in BCH and only one day later, a statement was released by a number of notable miners that they do not accept Sechet's vision for altering the BCH implementation. According to Bitrates.com, “The two factions are divided over a single controversial feature. Bitcoin ABC intends to introduce an Infrastructure Funding Plan (IFP), which will collect 8% of miner rewards and reallocate those funds toward development. BCHN, on the other hand, opposes that plan due to the effect it will have on mining profits.” As a result, a fork of the current BCH blockchain will occur on Sunday, November 15th, resulting in two blockchains – Bitcoin ABC (or BCHABC) and Bitcoin Cash Node. There are a few different possible results of this fork – the commonly held belief, as reported by Bitcoin Magazine, “Currently, Bitcoin Cash Node has much more hash power support than Bitcoin ABC: more than 80 percent … versus less than 1 percent for Bitcoin ABC. Bitcoin Cash Node also appears to have significantly more community support, and large Bitcoin Cash-supporting companies like Coinbase, Kraken and BitGo have also indicated support for Bitcoin Cash Node. It therefore seems likely that (the name) Bitcoin Cash will live on through Bitcoin Cash Node…(It would then probably also receive the “BCH” ticker on most exchanges…)” What does this mean for current BCH holders then? Time will tell what will actually happen – but a 1:1 ratio airdrop is very likely to occur for current BCH holders. One thing is definite - Bitcoin Cash is certainly a coin fraught with conflict, and one that is likely to confuse a lot of crypto newcomers. (03:17) Former Vice President Joe Biden will become the 46th President of the United States. This fact has proven to be quite divisive in the United States. That being said, the President-Elect is already preparing for his transition, and has recently appointed a crypto-savvy and crypto-friendly lead to his financial policy transition team. Gary Gensler, a former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, was formerly named this week – his role will be “…to oversee a team of volunteers focused on banking and markets regulators, such as the Federal Reserve and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as part of an agency review process that occurs with every transition.” according to The Wall Street Journal. Gensler is Senior Advisor to the MIT Media Lab Digital Currency Initiative. He conducts research and teaches on blockchain technology, digital currencies, financial technology, and public policy, according to his MIT biography. Gensler criticized ICOs back in 2018 and warned Congress against the potential  dangers of Facebook's Libra – but is generally viewed as generally pro-crypto, and most certainly viewed as crypto knowledgeable. Interestingly, Bloomberg reports that Gensler could also be up for the role of running the SEC under Biden – that's not confirmed, but it is certainly something to keep an eye in with this incoming administration. (04:29) Finally – this coming Wednesday, November 18th, will be the world's first Decentralized Philanthropy Conference – aptly named the De-Phi Crytpo For Good Conference. The conference will “highlight the people, projects, and organizations who are genuinely and actively leveraging bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology to help others and improve our world” according to BitGive, who are organizing the conference. If you aren't familiar with BitGive, check out the interviews (1,2) we've done with their CEO Connie Gallippi over on The BitcoinTaxes Podcast. They were the first Bitcoin non-profit and their company is all in on utilizing cryptocurrency for the betterment of society. The conference itself will take place virtually, and is completely free to register and be a part of. We've got a link to the registration page on talk.bitcoin.tax, or you can go to bitgivefoundation.org to find out more details. The event will cover Decentralized and Digital Philanthropy, Cryptocurrency Across Borders, Leveraging Crypto for Good, and the current and potential social impact of blockchain technology. You can find a list of keynote speakers and other event details by heading over to the conference website. If you either love crypto, want to encourage crypto adoption, or have a passion to help others (or all of the above) don't sleep on this conference. That's it for this week's episode of The Cryptocurrency Informer.

The COVID-19 coronavirus has had an unprecedented global impact on health and economy and it has been heartening to see so many efforts to offer relief appear throughout the world. BitGive founder Connie Gallippi joins Tatiana and Josh from Tahoe, where the coronavirus has impacted a disproportionate number of residents, to share the ongoing COVID-19 relief efforts happening through BitGive’s donation platform, GiveTrack and shares her experience in helping to rally the crypto community and beyond during this crisis. BitGive, the first bitcoin and blockchain non-profit,  has applied it’s RSK blockchain solution, GiveTrack, to transparently record donations from around the world to benefit  Direct Relief, GiveDirectly, and One Fair Wage Emergency Fund with an initial fundraising goal of $20,000. RSK Labs got them off to a great start with a $10,000 donation. With their integration partnership with Uphold, supporters can now donate using bitcoin, fiat, or any of the more than 30 cryptocurrencies supported by Uphold. GiveTrack’s blockchain fueled transparency introduces a timely use case for blockchain and cryptocurrency by allowing supporters to watch their donation move from their wallet to the intended charity and then to see how the charity spends their donations, all one one platform. BitGive has also set up several funds to help expand their reach. Supporters can donate to Growth Fund, the Innovators Fund, or the Leadership Circle to empower BitGive’s mission. As Josh mentions, crypto evangelists should be enthusiastically supporting efforts like BitGive. Have a good month and a little extra to spare? Supporting charity efforts though BitGive and GiveTrack are a great way to walk to the walk of getting government out of charity. Before the close of the episode, Josh shared some great feel-good news: people in Ireland are repaying the Hopi and Navaho Nation tribes in the United States for a favor done for Ireland in 1847. Connie wasn’t the only one who got chills hearing about this beautiful effort.

Connie Gallippi, the founder and executive director for BitGive, and Joe Waltman, the executive director of GiveCrypto.org, discuss charitable giving in crypto -- what problems in philanthropy it solves, what level of transparency they can achieve and how they measure impact. Connie explains why she has chosen to work with existing non-profits and Joe, why GiveCrypto is working on its own initiatives, and why its working thesis is that crypto will be especially helpful in places with broken money or broken government. They also dive into the tax implications of donating crypto directly -- namely that donors can offset taxes on gains, particularly by donating their oldest coins before the end of the calendar year. Connie talks about how BitGive needs to ensure it doesn't hold or convert money in order to avoid money transmitter regulations, and Joe, how GiveCrypto has to ensure it's not giving money to bad people, such as money launderers or people or entities under economic sanctions. Plus, the two discuss why a space that so often espouses the ideals of democratization of finance gives so little and what it will take for it to donate more. Thank you to our sponsors!

Tonight we talk Connie Gallippi of BitGive.org about a fundraiser with Cheapair.com and Gem alongside Amazon and Purse.io Then with Paul Sztorc we talk about prediction markets and TruthCoin.info some very interesting ideas.

Hello, welcome to episode 22 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. In today's podcast you'll hear the Blockchain Tech panel from the State Of Digital Money conference, which took place earlier this year in Los Angeles. I thought it was a very fun panel that was filled with many insights. You might say the panel was stacked a bit on the side of blockchain tech over Bitcoin, and Bitcoin maximalists (amongst others) may not agree with some of the points made. But hopefully everyone can still appreciate hearing ideas and discussion from very bright people in the field. Some interesting tidbits: It's Jeff Garzik you'll hear yell “not true” from his seat in the audience, and Connie Gallippi also speaks from the crowd. I was surprised to learn the source of inspiration for Medici (the blockchain-based stock exchange being pioneered by Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne). On the panel, you'll hear (in order of appearance): Moderator: Alex Rozman Senior Manager in the Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP @rozman7 Craig Sellars Co-Founder and CTO for Tether @Tether_to Eric Benz VP of Payments at BitReserve @EricBenz84 Judd Bagley Director of Communications at Overstock.com @WriterJudd Alyse Killeen Associate Venture Capital Investor at March Capital Partners @AlyseKilleen MAGIC WORD Listen for the magic word, and submit it to your LetsTalkBitcoin.com account to claim a share of this week's distribution of LTBcoin.

These substantial metal keychains make great conversation starters, and they also make great gifts to or from Bitcoiners. You can find a list of online retailers at Bkeychain.com, and several support Bitcoin so much, they don't even accept fiat currency. So what are you waiting for? http://Bkeychain.com Here's a link to the YouTube video of the panel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9sZu-HIFys The videographer who recorded videos from this conference works relentlessly on the front lines, recording cryptocurrency and P2P content from all over the country.
