Simon and Colin are back this week to talk about the latest and greatest news in blockchain, including: Libra fallout continues, Polkadot and tethery’licious volume! First up, we take a look at how central banks plan to create digital currencies, and it recieves backing! Augustin Castens, The GM of the Bank of International Settlements, has said that Global central banks may have to issue their own digital currencies sooner than expected! When asked about Libra, Castens said “The issue is how will the currency be used? Will there to be a discovery of information or data that can be used in credit provision and how will data privacy be protected?". A couple of months ago, the conversation was more around how you don't need central bank digital currencies, has libra changed the tone of the conversation? (01:13) Next we talk about the 5 Reasons why Facebook’s new cryptocurrency ‘Libra’ is bad news for Africa! The reasons stated are as following: - Libra Coin is Digital Colonization by Proxy - Libra Coin Is a Threat to African Central Bank and Monetary Policy - Libracoin is Threat to African Sovereignty and the African People - Africa Will Give Up Control Over It’s Digital Economy to Libra coin and Facebook - Big Brother Africa Colin argues that one big caveat in this article is that Africa is not one big country, and a lot of statements in this article are rather generalising. Simon argues that this article is written looking through a very dystopian lens. Could Libra be considered dystopian? (08:44) Other stories include: * UK crypto scene set for boost as London firm poised for FCA approval (14:11) * Globacap Launches FCA-Regulated Digital Security Offering Platform (18:07) * Ethereum Co-Founder’s Polkadot Closes Token Sale, Claims $1.2 Billion Valuation (23:33) * Wha-Tether could be going on with the bitcoin price?

Hi everyone! I have been talking about P3D, POWH.io, and FOMO3D for about a month or so now to anyone who will listen. I have suffered many eye rolls at what a fool I am to be taken in by this OBVIOUS ponzi… but I persisted. I wasn’t going to let close minded thinking shut me down! I thought it was an exciting project and experiment. Hopefully you guys agree! It was good to hear Kingsley’s perspective, as he is the bringer of P3D to me, as well as one of my first Bitcoin friends. Preston was a great skeptic, and was chosen for his tweet a few weeks ago around when P3D was popping. Petros brought in the dev perspective. Josh was a bit skeptical, but def intrigued. Where did we end up after the convo? I don’t know, but it was a cool exploration! We also had on Sharon from Chicago Blockchain Project. Check out the conference this weekend Aug 24-25! I can’t wait to perform, and I know I have some cool panels with some other neat music/blockchain projects. The vibe in Chicago is awesome, and I love Navy Pier, especially the ferris wheel!

Co-founding his first major venture, Leet, in 2013 he developed a first-of-its-kind skill-based gaming platform that utilized Bitcoin as the underlying micro-transaction layer. After successfully exiting, he worked on a venture to create programmable token valuation methodologies. In addition, he began advising multiple projects on crypto-economics, blockchain technical architectures, and general projects structuring with Block 16, a Las Vegas based blockchain consultancy.

The beauty of open-source software lies in its efficiency. If two companies, building different solutions, work together on the parts of the projects that overlap, they accomplish more in less time. The Hyperledger Project is an open-source collaboration working to build a set of blockchain technologies that can be used in a variety of industries and embedded in the emerging internet technology stack. Brian Behlendorf is the Executive Director of the Hyperledger Project for The Linux Foundation. Brian has dedicated his career to connecting and empowering the free and open-source software community to solve difficult problems. Early in his career, Brian was a primary developer of the Apache Web server and a founding member of the Apache Software Foundation. He was also the founding CTO of CollabNet and CTO of the World Economic Forum. Today, Brian serves on the board of the Mozilla Foundation as well as the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Prior to joining Hyperledger, Brian was a managing director at Mithril Capital Management, a global technology investment firm. Brian joins us to explain the relationship between the Linux Foundation and Hyperledger, describing the venture's subscription-based business model and several of the projects being built with its open-source blockchain technology. He walks us through the benefits of Hyperledger over public blockchains, discussing the business community's preference for anonymity and the right to fork if data is misused. Listen in for Brian's insight around measuring the progress of community-building and learn how open-source software helps us go further, faster.

This week Bitcoin has gone the the moon! So what's the story behind its new all time high price? And how might the long courtship between Wall Street and Bitcoin have played a part in the story? The guys take a look at the JP Morgan messaging on Bitcoin, including Jamie Dimon's views. We cover news from both Swell and Sibos, the pseudonymous nature of Bitcoin and how SWIFT intend to respond to the changing payments landscape. PLus, how is IBM using cryptocurrency in cross-border payments? Colin explains why open blockchains might be the canary in the coalmine and, while the People's Bank of China Digital Currency Director calls for a centralised state cryptocurrency, Simon asks whether it's really possible to have a true cryptocurrency that's centralised. Plus, what can all this mean for a possible CryptoRuble? We return to the story of the legal battle between R3 and Ripple to find out who's in the ascendancy, and the guys discuss how Digital Asset Holdings intend to use the $40m series B funding they raised recently. And of course, we also revisit Segwit2x for an update on its progress, and discuss Ethereum's own Byznatium fork. Plus, interviews with Brian Behlendorf, Executive Director of the Hyperledger Project (https://www.hyperledger.org/) within the Linux Foundation, and Paul Worrall, founder of Zonafide (https://www.zonafide.net/).
