Robert Hockett joins Steve to talk about his latest book, The Citizens' Ledger: Digitizing Our Money, Democratizing Our Future. The episode is right at home in our archive of interviews around the topics of fintech, digital wallets, cryptocurrency, CBDCs, and privacy. We urge our listeners to look up past episodes featuring https://realprogressives.org/podcast_episode/episode-181-cloudmoney-with-brett-scott/ (Brett Scott) and https://realprogressives.org/podcast_episode/episode-123-defining-the-world-of-crypto-and-the-digital-commons-with-rohan-grey/ (Rohan Grey). Just about everyone acknowledges that digital payment systems offer enormous convenience, but we're equally aware they come with a cost – we lose all claim to privacy. Bob presents sound arguments for halting the private takeover of the public commons. “If we think in terms of the commons ... you might say that what the private sector fintech industry is trying to do, and what the private sector crypto industry seems to be trying to do, is to displace actual physical cash; in effect to take away that commons and replace it with a bunch of proprietary fiefdoms.” Cryptopians, as Bob calls them, are touting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as creating some kind of democratic new world of sovereign selfhood. This is patently absurd. Bob makes the case that we could develop a digital system – a digital wallet – with all the attractive attributes of cash, including privacy and universal accessibility. Bob describes a way for individuals to pay, receive, and save, while completely bypassing private banks and financial institutions. He says it could be run by the Fed, the Treasury, or both. The Fed would have new monetary tools that directly benefit people instead of banks. Steve and Bob discuss concerns about government overreach and consider the kinds of regulatory laws that would need to be in place. As for privacy, well, do you have a smartphone with GPS? Are you making purchases online? Or with a credit card? It's already too easy to peer into our lives. Unlike private entities, neither the Fed nor the Treasury are profiting from our transactions. “Obviously it's like a never-ending quest to get our data protected and to prevent overreach by federal agencies ... But all I mean to say is that I don't think that introducing the system introduces new vulnerabilities that aren't already there.” Bob usually has a rosier view than we do at Macro N Cheese, but he always gives us something to chew on. This episode will have you thinking about history, policy, and possibilities. Robert C. Hockett is an American lawyer, law professor, and policy advocate. He holds two positions at Cornell University and is senior counsel at investment firm Westwood Capital, LLC. His latest book is The Citizens' Ledger: Digitizing Our Money, Democratizing Our Future. @rch371 on Twitter

Peter Van Valkenburgh, director of research at Coin Center, discusses a proposed rule by the US Securities and Exchange Commission that has massive implications for the free-speech rights of crypto software developers in the US. Show highlights: why an SEC proposal changing the definition of “exchange” could violate the right to free speech of US crypto developers whether the SEC is going after DeFi on purpose – as its 200+ page proposal never mentions crypto or DeFi what precedent Peter has found that should prohibit the SEC from taking away software developers' right to free speech how Peter and Coin Center structured their recent letter of comment to the SEC what the next steps (such as a lawsuit?) should be for the crypto community if the rule goes into effect why writing software is part of someone's right to free speech what implications the proposed rule could have on AMMs what happens next: when could the rule be put into place?

Do Kwon is the CEO of Terraform Labs and a director at Luna Foundation Guard. On Unchained, he explains why LFG is spearheading a plan to partially back Terra's $15 billion stablecoin UST with Bitcoin. He also dives into another project idea that would transform developer salaries into financial assets that, as far as I can tell, he has not yet spoken about publicly. Part 1: Everything you need to know about Terra, UST, and BTC. how Terra works and why Do thinks UST will soon be the third-largest stablecoin why Do and LFG decided to back UST with bitcoin why Do thinks LUNA's price will continue to appreciate despite UST's new dependence on bitcoin how UST might perform if the price of a bitcoin were to crash why diversifying UST with different types of collateral could help Terra politically how LFG plans to use bridges, smart contracts, and an AMM reserve pool to secure its bitcoin why Do thinks Terra is now a Layer 2 project for Bitcoin who is deciding to purchase bitcoin and who determines what other assets to purchase as collateral for UST how a bitcoin reserve pool would help UST not de-peg from the dollar whether Do thinks Anchor's 19%+ yield is sustainable and why Anchor is moving to other chains Part 2: Do, the self-described “toymaker” of DeFi. why Do is fascinated with creating a fungible labor market how developer working hours could become a token traded on an AMM and used to take out loans why Do thinks developer salaries in crypto should be cyclical how on-chain identity and history will be similar to credit scores why Do is a personal fan of Thorchain – but is reticent to use it as a bridge for LFG why Do is interested in Prism Protocol what Do thinks the impact of a pro-crypto president will have on South Korea Book events Keep up on all the latest events here! https://www.laurashin.com/book/#tour-dates Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode, Anthony is joined by writer, crypto journalist, and podcaster Laura Shin to discuss her new book, The Cryptopians, which takes readers inside the founding journey of Ethereum. Together, they discuss Laura's crypto eureka moment back in May of 2015; assess how the book is somewhat a coming-of-age story for Vitalik Buterin; investigate the DAO hack of 2016; and explore each of the Ethereum co-founders, and how these larger-than-life personalities came together. Next, Christopher Leonard, New York Times bestselling author and business journalist, talks with Anthony about his new book, The Lords Of Easy Money, which infiltrates one of America's most mysterious institutions —the Federal Reserve. Chris takes us through the role and history of the Fed, and how its policies over the past ten years have accelerated income inequality and put the United States' economic stability at risk.Finally, Anthony speaks with Sean Ford, chief operating officer at Algorand. Algorand seeks to build on similar projects like Ethereum by improving scalability, security, and reducing the amount of time it takes for transactions on the network to be considered “final.” In their conversation, Sean and Anthony start by recalling Sean's career journey to date, then go on to talk about all things ALGO, from its creation by MIT professor Silvio Micali to why it will change the crypto space, and much more… Follow our guests on Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurashin https://twitter.com/CLeonardNews https://twitter.com/wsford Subscribe on YouTube: //bit.ly/3ICdZXx Follow us:https://twitter.com/moochfm https://twitter.com/scaramucci Sign up for our newsletter at:www.mooch.fm Created & produced by Podcast Partners:www.podcastpartners.com

While researching for The Cryptopians, I discovered that Andrey Ternovskiy, the founder of internet sensation Chatroulette, was heavily involved in The DAO back in 2016. In this episode, we skirt around revealing major spoilers from The Cryptopians and discuss Andrey's experience founding Chatroulette, how he fell down the crypto rabbit hole, whether hacking smart contracts is ethical, and more. Show topics: Andrey's background how Andrey's struggles with PayPal at Chatroulette led him to quickly understand the need for crypto what Andrey's involvement at Chatroulette is the different ways Andrey thinks crypto can disrupt middlemen why Andrey became infatuated with the narrative behind the “crypto” movement why Andrey became a fan of Ethereum why Andrey decided to tell me about his previously undisclosed involvement in The DAO and early Ethereum whether hacking smart contracts is ethical (or legal) what Andrey thinks about how Ukraine has used crypto in its fight against Russia's invasion why Andrey will most likely not decentralize Chatroulette what Andrey's perspective is on decentralization in terms of DeFi and DAOs Upcoming Book Events For folks in the Bay Area: On Tuesday March 8, I'll be doing a reading and signing at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club, moderated by The Information's Kate Clark. Doors open at 5:15 p.m. , the program begins at 6 p.m., and the book signing is at 7 p.m. https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-03-08/laura-shin-inside-first-cryptocurrency-craze For people in Seattle: I'll be doing a reading and signing as part of town Hall Seattle on Wednesday March 9, at 7:30pm at The Forum, moderated by Steve Scher, of Town Hall Seattle. https://townhallseattle.org/event/laura-shin/ And, I may also be at SXSW on March 12 — details still TBD, and I may also be in Boston at Harvard the weekend of March 26.

Show topics: Andrey's background how Andrey's struggles with PayPal at Chatroulette led him to quickly understand the need for crypto what Andrey's involvement at Chatroulette is the different ways Andrey thinks crypto can disrupt middlemen why Andrey became infatuated with the narrative behind the “crypto” movement why Andrey became a fan of Ethereum why Andrey decided to tell me about his previously undisclosed involvement in The DAO and early Ethereum whether hacking smart contracts is ethical (or legal) what Andrey thinks about how Ukraine has used crypto in its fight against Russia's invasion why Andrey will most likely not decentralize Chatroulette what Andrey's perspective is on decentralization in terms of DeFi and DAOs Upcoming Book Events For folks in the Bay Area: On Tuesday March 8, I'll be doing a reading and signing at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club, moderated by The Information's Kate Clark.

In this week's episode of The Defiant podcast, we speak to Laura Shin, the former senior editor at Forbes and host of the popular podcast Unchained, about her new book ‘The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze.' In Cryptopians, Laura may have solved Ethereum's biggest mystery; the identity of the DAO hacker. In this interview, she goes into the backstory of how she came up with the most credible suspect to date.

During my research for The Cryptopians, I found information that I believe identifies the perpetrator behind The DAO hack on Ethereum. Three founding members of The DAO and Slock.it (Christoph Jentzsch, Lefteris Karapetsas, Griff Green) discuss how and why they created The DAO, how they helped save the funds being siphoned off by black hat hackers, their personal feelings about The DAO, along with their reaction to the news about who I believe was The DAO attacker. Show topics: Part 1: Background on The DAO Christoph, Lefteris, and Griff's background and how they came to Slock.it what Slock.it was and why the Slock.it team decided to create The DAO what The DAO has to do with venture capital funding why the Slock.it team did not cap The DAO sale what made The DAO such a popular investment vehicle why The DAO developers were scared at the amount of money they raised Part 2: what Christoph, Lefteris, and Griff's initial reaction to The DAO was saving funds from The DAO via a hard fork versus white hat hacking whether they thought Ethereum Classic would survive a hard fork how the Ethereum community has treated Christoph, Griff, and Lefteris in the wake of The DAO attack Part 3: why they disagree on whether code is law their reaction to my naming Toby Hoenisch as The DAO attacker which actor would play them in a movie about The DAO attack Come to My In-Person Book Signings and Events!

In this SPOTLIGHT episode of Tech Intersect, I selected a recent conversation with crypto investigative reporter Laura Shin, from part 2 of my 100th episode. First, it's one of the most popular to date. And second, Laura just released her book, The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze. So, I thought this would be a great time to share this insightful and engaging chat about the past, present and future of crypto and the rise, controversies, promise, pitfalls and transformative impact of Ethereum on crypto, NFTs, defi and beyond.And today, Laura dropped an exclusive interview with Forbes to share her conclusion about who hacked The DAO in 2016, diverting 3.6 million ether. She identifies the apparent hacker by following a complicated trail of crypto transactions and using a privacy-cracking forensics tool.

As listeners of Nori podcasts, you might know that we use cryptocurrency in the form of Nori tokens which may become a market-driven price for carbon removal. You also might know we issue non-fungible tokens, otherwise known as NFTs, when buyers purchase those removals. But you may not know the history of the blockchain we run on or how the system works. So, where can you go to learn Ethereum 101? Laura Shin is a crypto journalist and host of the Unchained Podcast.
