In this episode of Conspiratus, Sunny sits down with Eric Meltzer to discuss immortality, death, and Terror Management Theory. Spurred on by a series of tweets Eric put out a few weeks ago, we talk through different strategies for dealing with one's own mortality. And to lighten stuff up, we also learn about the Satoshi's Hunt, a global scavenger hunt for $1 Million in Bitcoin organized by Eric and top secret team of puzzlemasters. Maybe Eric dropped a few hints in this episode? Better listen through to find out!

In this episode I talk Eric Meltzer and Dovey Wan, both partners at Primitive Ventures, about the crypto scene in Asia. We also discuss regulatory trends, trading perspectives, VC in crypto and Satoshi's Treasure.

Blockstream chief strategy officer Samson Mow, who used to work at a competitor to Bitmain, discusses the recent news that the crypto mining manufacturer suffered a $500 million loss in the third quarter of 2018. He talks about possible reasons, including difficulties in selling its most recent miner and its stockpile of Bitcoin Cash, which has dropped more precipitously than Bitcoin during the last year. We also cover the extensive layoffs that the company has undergone in recent months, the shakeup in company leadership and what the prospects are for its IPO filing. Thank you to our sponsor!

In this wide-ranging episode, Eric Meltzer and Dovey Wan of Primitive Ventures describe how Asia is weathering the crypto downturn: how have the low prices affected miners, how has this affected Bitmain's prospects for an IPO and how, despite a ban on crypto exchanges, Chinese crypto users have been trading. We also discuss more broadly how crypto projects and startups differ between China and the U.S., how crypto is upending Silicon Valley's dominance, and how differences in regulation are affecting entrepreneurship in the space. Plus, Eric and Dovey address whether or not the surveillance state is motivating Chinese interest in crypto. Thank you to our sponsors!

Hey, this is Clay. Welcome to another episode of The Nomics Update. Today I'm going to talk about color capitulation. So for some time now, we've really been proud of our branding. When we first started, we hired a fancy branding agency, and they're called Fuzzco. They've worked with MailChimp and other folks, pretty fancy team, and we developed this dynamic brand together, [00:00:30] and the way the brand works, I'm sure you've seen on the website, is that the colors change on the website based on the state of the market. So if the market's way down, the accent color across our homepage is red. If it's way up, then it's green, but when you traverse the spectrum from -2 percent down to +2 [00:01:00] percent up or greater, you are traversing this color continuum from red to green or from green to red. So if the market's in the middle, if there's virtually no change on a given day, then essentially, the website is purple, because that's roughly the middle point between red and green. So a lot of people don't like purple. It's kind of weird, it's becoming a more trendy [00:01:30] startup color, but the main thing that the people don't like is seeing a bunch of currencies in purple. People tend to really like these binary signals. So if it's up, even if it's up by only .01 percent, they want it green, and if it's down, even if it's down by .05 percent, they want it red. So I fought this for a while. I thought our branding scheme was cool. But [00:02:00] over and over again, I heard people say like, "Why is it when I change from the month view to the year view, the color scheme changes?" Well, the reason why the color scheme changes when you go from the month view to, let's say, a year view is because the market's up over the last year. Well, it was as of a few days ago. But the market's down if you take the month view. [00:02:30] Oh no, it's actually up six percent. Anyway, all kinds of people telling us they didn't like the colors. And the thing about a good product company, I think, is that you just don't fight with your customers. If you hear something enough, you just have to do it. So we're capitulating, we thought we were so smart and so clever with this design, but we're not. [00:03:00] We're not smarter than you, we're not smarter than our customers. So we are going to essentially make everything either green or red, which essentially means we're just tightening the band. So basically, the color spectrum from red to green is going to dynamically update from .2., from .2.5 [00:03:30] percent to point, I'm sorry, from .2.5, my God, I can't say this right. From .25 percent to -.25 percent, it's gonna traverse. So anyway, almost everything is going to be basic red or green. And if we have to tighten that color, that band as well, we will, and then almost everything will be red and green, which will be kind of sad, but we'll understand. [00:04:00] Anyway, thanks to everyone who so passionately argued for this. Eric Meltzer hated our colors for a while there. Ben Davenport, ex-CTO of BitGo and founder of that company and a really cool guy, someone who we like to learn from, sent in this feedback as well. And then just a whole slew of other people I won't name drop here, but [00:04:30] suffice to say, we heard the message loud and clear. We're going to do it. You hate the colors. Okay. Thanks for the feedback. Bye.

I’ve long aspired to release topical content relevant to the current crypto news cycle. But I never found a great way to pull that off. There are lots of podcasts with crypto bros shilling their unedited opinions on price movements or the latest ICOs, and I just didn’t want to go that route (especially since I don’t personally enjoy this content).While contemplating this delimma, Eric Meltzer’s Proof of Work Newsletter arrived in my mailbox. What I appreciate about Eric’s Newsletter is that it isn’t filled with news hackery or thought pieces from Medium; instead, Proof Of Work includes updates directly from the makers behind top crypto projects. Proof of Work includes primary source material coming directly from founders, rather than third-party analysts.So I approached Eric about doing a Monthly Proof of Work Audio wrap up. He said yes, so here we are.In this episode we discuss:Major themes and trends amoung crypto projects for the month of augustOur 6 favorite features and releases “shipped” from various engineering teams in the spaceWhich crypto team has won “The Ship Award” … which is the monthly award we give to the project that has shipped the most in a given monthWhy asian exchanges are absolutely dominant right nowWhich crypto businesses are making money, and . . .What new developments we expect to see in SeptemberHere’s a little bit of background on Eric.Eric is a partner at INBlockchain, China’s oldest and largest institutional cryptoasset and blockchain fund. To give you a sense of INBlockchain’s size and scope, consider that they announced a $1.6 Billion dollar fund with 30% coming from the Hong-Jo local government. And prior to that they already had a couple billion under management.If you want to learn more about Eric, check out Flippening Episode #17.--ClayThis Episode Is Possible Due To The Generous Support of PandaAnalytics.comIf investing is not your full-time job, but you still want to get into crypto and blockchain, what cryptocurrencies should you consider when making an investment decision?One popular solution is a portfolio of cryptoassets selected and rebalanced on a regular basis.
