Mark Jeffrey is the award-winning co-founder and CEO of Guardian Circle, a service tackling an extremely critical industry most of us take for granted… emergency response. He's also a serial entrepreneur with five exits, a published author, named one of '50 to Watch' by Variety, and worked closely with some of the biggest names in tech including Jason Calacanis and Travis Kalanick. Guardian Circle will support the six BILLION people worldwide and in developing countries, who have no emergency services at all — particularly in countries like India where a woman is sexually assaulted every 15 minutes. Guardian Circle is the first emergency response system that acts as an AMBER Alert-style warning for your own private network. The app offers four different alert levels: Emergency, Urgent, Request and Only A Test, so your guardians know the severity of your request, can communicate with one another and organize a response team, dispatching help closest to your emergency. These guardians are then rewarded in cryptocurrency with Guardium, the company's new token built on NEO. Tokens can be redeemed for more services or sold for fiat currency within the platform. All transactions are recorded using blockchain-based smart contracts. Guardium's token sale is going on now and closes June 1, 2018 @ 6:59AM (UTC)

G-Sass is back in France this week but that won't stop him joining Simon for this week's installment of the news show. First up this week, the guys explore the implications of competition in the crypto futures space, as the CME launches its contract to compete with CBOE. Bringing the cryto debate firmly into the mainstream, we discuss the French finance minister's intervention, urging a debate at the G20. Plus, why has Keanu Reeves spoken out over Bitcoin and what does it mean for the future of cryptoassets? Why has Bill Miller's hedge fun put half its money in Bitcoin and what could his strategy be? Plus, has Bitcoin really become the biggest bubble the world has ever seen? The guys also discuss the nature of Bitcoin - is it a commodity? - and is the price totally fictional or is it really related to something? Our very own Pete Townsend, 11:FS Asset Management Lead, joins us this week to break down Vanguard's plan to adopt blockchain technology. We discuss the Gnosis Dutch exchange - do check out the blog post here (https://blog.gnosis.pm/introducing-the-gnosis-dutch-exchange-53bd3d51f9b2) - and finally, Cardano, the "Ethereum of Japan" has jumped into the top six cryptocurrencies by market cap of USD $12bn. So what's all the fuss about and is it really as secure as bitcoin? And we didn't have time to discuss: Loopring's decentralized exchange and open protocol; HODL - why the only good bitcoin advice is four years old; and, once again, CryptoKitties. And to finish up this week, we bring you interviews with Mark Jeffrey from Guardian Circle and Paul Forrest from MBN Solutions. We hope you enjoy the show and, as ever, don't forget to subscribe.
