From bizarre local crime waves to headline-making political shakeups, the Canadian Bitcoiners are straying far off the path this week to break down the cultural zeitgeist.On this episode, we investigate the inexplicable wave of AC units being stolen right off buildings in Atlanta, unpack Conservative MP Larry Brock's sudden resignation and what it means for the caucus, and look at the conversation around Indian gangs making headlines in Canada. Plus, we dive into the debate over Indian folk dancing as a high school credit course, settle the ultimate suburban rivalry of Hamilton Man vs. Brampton Man, track Carney's travels, and tackle whatever else crossed our feeds this week. Grab some popcorn—it's a chaotic one. Let's go!#CanadianBitcoiners #CurrentEvents #HamiltonVsBrampton #LarryBrock #CanadianPolitics #Atlanta #CultureWars————————————————————————————————SPONSORS

It's been an absolute whirlwind in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the Canadian Bitcoiners are here to make sense of the noise.On this episode, we unpack the widening fallout from the Coldcard vulnerability, dive deep into the contentious BIP-110 proposal and the looming threat of a chain split, and break down why infrastructure providers like Boltz and Zeus had to take services offline following a wave of AI-assisted attacks. Plus, BTCPay Server urges users to upgrade, corporate treasuries like MSTR and MARA make moves on their Bitcoin stacks, and we share our thoughts on what all of this means for the future of self-custody and network security. Grab a drink, tune in, and let's get into it!#Bitcoin #BIP110 #Coldcard #CryptoNews #LightningNetwork #SelfCustody #CanadianBitcoiners————————————————————————————————SPONSORS

La ICANN anunció que el 11 de octubre de 2026 cambiará el anclaje de confianza del Sistema de Nombres de Dominio (DNS), un proceso técnico conocido como traspaso de la KSK (Key Signing Key) de DNSSEC. En este episodio de Vida Digital conversamos con Nicolás Antoniello, Gerente Sénior de Participación Técnica para América Latina y el Caribe de la ICANN, para entender qué significa este cambio, qué será completamente transparente para la mayoría de las personas y qué deben revisar quienes administran redes, servidores o el sitio web de su negocio.Nicolás parte desde lo más básico y explica por qué al DNS se le llama la guía telefónica de internet: así como una guía asocia el nombre de una persona con su número de teléfono, el DNS asocia un nombre de dominio fácil de recordar con la dirección IP que las máquinas necesitan para comunicarse. Sobre ese cimiento aparece DNSSEC, las extensiones de seguridad que permiten verificar que la respuesta que entrega el DNS es auténtica y no fue alterada en el camino. Un punto que aclara con cuidado: "la información no está encriptada... Lo que se agrega es una firma que permite validar información."¿Qué ocurre realmente en octubre? En sus palabras, "esto que va a suceder en octubre es nada más y nada menos que un cambio de firma." La clave que hoy firma la zona raíz se reemplaza por una nueva, más robusta, y por eso los operadores de servidores recursivos de validación deben asegurarse de conocer las dos firmas antes de la fecha. La buena noticia es que la nueva clave se publicó hace más de dos años y la mayoría de los sistemas la adoptan de forma automática. Aun así, Nicolás recomienda hacer la verificación: es cuestión de minutos y evita sorpresas.También hablamos del vínculo entre DNSSEC y el correo electrónico, del riesgo que corren las instituciones con servidores antiguos que llevan años sin tocarse y de cómo la falsificación de información de DNS habilita ataques que suelen empezar con un phishing que imita la página de un banco. Para quien administra infraestructura sin DNSSEC, la recomendación es planificar su despliegue a corto y mediano plazo.Para la persona que navega, compra en línea o revisa su banca desde el celular, el mensaje es tranquilizador: "El impacto en los usuarios finales es cero, absolutamente imperceptible." Si tu proveedor y los operadores hacen su parte, ni siquiera notarás que hubo un cambio.Un episodio para entender, sin tecnicismos innecesarios, una pieza invisible que sostiene la confianza de todo internet.¿Administras una red, un servidor o un sitio web? Cuéntanos en los comentarios si ya verificaste que tus sistemas conocen las dos firmas de cara a octubre, o qué dudas te deja este tema. Nos encanta leerte y con gusto trasladamos tus inquietudes al equipo de la ICANN.Si este episodio te resultó útil, comenta, comparte con quien creas que lo necesita y suscríbete para no perderte lo que viene.Gracias a Nicolás Antoniello y a todo el equipo de la ICANN, y a Radio Ancón por permitirnos llegar a ustedes cada semana.Marcadores de capítulo0:00 Bienvenida y presentación de Nicolás Antoniello (ICANN)1:39 Qué es el DNS y por qué es la guía telefónica de internet11:56 DNSSEC, correo electrónico y falsificación de dominios12:43 Qué deben verificar los operadores antes del 11 de octubre20:30 Servidores desactualizados: riesgos y qué notará el público21:32 Impacto cero para el usuario final y defensa ante el phishing24:14 Despedida y cierre#VidaDigital #ICANN #DNS #DNSSEC #KSKRollover #Ciberseguridad #SeguridadInformática #Internet #Phishing #AdministraciónDeRedes #InfraestructuraTI #Panamá #RadioAncón #Tecnología

Michael Saylor's "never sell" era is OVER. Strategy sold 3,588 BTC (~$216M) at a 20% loss to cover $1.8B in dividend obligations — and Canadian pensions are holding close to $1B of MSTR stock. On June 29, Strategy's board adopted its "Digital Credit Capital Framework": $1B stock buybacks, a 12% STRC dividend, and a $1.25B "BTC Monetization Program" authorizing Bitcoin sales "when strategic." CEO Phong Le calls it "evolving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management." The mNAV premium that financed five years of buying has collapsed from 2.66x to around 1x — and one in three Bitcoin treasury companies now trades below the value of its coins. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- Strategy's pivot: the mNAV death spiral, coins sold at a 20% realized loss, insider selling, and JPMorgan's $2.8B-$11.6B index-exclusion warning- The Canada connection: CPPIB, AIMCo, National Bank, RBC and HOOPP hold ~$1B of MSTR — your pension bought the wrapper trade- A quantum-proof recovery tool that works for everyone except Satoshi's 1.1M BTC- OkoBot: malware that fakes your Ledger/Trezor recovery screen- Global hashrate is shrinking — but Pakistan is up 733%- CleanSpark signs a $6.6B, 20-year AI data center lease- Canada bans crypto political donations under Bill C-25- Clown World North: Stan Cho's $16,203 hotel bill, Canada Post's $30.8M in bonuses against a $1.57B loss, and $159,800 in flight catering- The BIS confirms Canada's housing crash is the biggest on record as 56,400 Canadians leave in a year The leverage cycle is unwinding — the conviction cohort isn't.

Michael Saylor's "never sell" era is OVER. Strategy sold 3,588 BTC (~$216M) at a 20% loss to cover $1.8B in dividend obligations — and Canadian pensions are holding close to $1B of MSTR stock. On June 29, Strategy's board adopted its "Digital Credit Capital Framework": $1B stock buybacks, a 12% STRC dividend, and a $1.25B "BTC Monetization Program" authorizing Bitcoin sales "when strategic." CEO Phong Le calls it "evolving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management." The mNAV premium that financed five years of buying has collapsed from 2.66x to around 1x — and one in three Bitcoin treasury companies now trades below the value of its coins. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- Strategy's pivot: the mNAV death spiral, coins sold at a 20% realized loss, insider selling, and JPMorgan's $2.8B-$11.6B index-exclusion warning- The Canada connection: CPPIB, AIMCo, National Bank, RBC and HOOPP hold ~$1B of MSTR — your pension bought the wrapper trade- A quantum-proof recovery tool that works for everyone except Satoshi's 1.1M BTC- OkoBot: malware that fakes your Ledger/Trezor recovery screen- Global hashrate is shrinking — but Pakistan is up 733%- CleanSpark signs a $6.6B, 20-year AI data center lease- Canada bans crypto political donations under Bill C-25- Clown World North: Stan Cho's $16,203 hotel bill, Canada Post's $30.8M in bonuses against a $1.57B loss, and $159,800 in flight catering- The BIS confirms Canada's housing crash is the biggest on record as 56,400 Canadians leave in a year The leverage cycle is unwinding — the conviction cohort isn't. Long-term holders just hit a record 14.85M BTC. ETF outflows and treasury-company stress are paper Bitcoin changing hands; the base layer doesn't care.

On January 1st a new EU law switched on across 27 countries — and it reports exactly how much Bitcoin you own.Europe's DAC8 turned "Know Your Customer" into what Bull Bitcoin calls "Kill Your Customer" — so the Canadian exchange just filed the first legal challenge to strike it down. We get into all of it: Tennessee becoming the 2nd US state to ban Bitcoin ATMs, Trump's disclosure showing $1.4B in crypto income while his own team writes the rules, Kraken reportedly chasing a full EU bank license — and the feel-good one, a single $150 home miner that beat billion-dollar farms to win an entire block worth ~$200,000. Then north of the border: KPMG says nearly half of Canadian manufacturers have moved or are eyeing a move to the US, Ottawa tells the UAE it has no "shovel-ready" projects for C$70B, and more.Canadian Bitcoiners PodcastWebsite: https://canadianbitcoiners.comX: @CanadianBTCPodSubscribe & turn on notifications so you never miss an episode. ————————————————————————————————SPONSORS

77 Bitcoin kidnappings logged in France since January — and Canada isn't immune. A Toronto CEO was ransomed for $1M. Saylor sells $216M in Bitcoin. Carney admits climate defeat. CUSMA gets rejected. This week on the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast: French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirms 77 kidnappings and extortions targeting Bitcoin holders since January 2026 — already past all of 2025. Ledger co-founder David Balland had a finger severed by his kidnappers. Then it hits home: Toronto's WonderFi CEO was forced into a car during rush hour for a $1 million ransom, and a B.C. family was held hostage overnight. Joey and Len break down why being loud about your Bitcoin stack is now a physical security problem — and what actually protects you. In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The global Bitcoin kidnapping wave - France's 77 cases and the Canadian parallel nobody's talking about- Strategy (MicroStrategy) sells $216M in Bitcoin - is Saylor's playbook cracking, or is this just treasury management?- K Wave Media's 10,000 BTC dream collapses to zero - the corporate Bitcoin treasury reckoning is here- Mark Carney concedes emissions targets will not be met, pivots to a new energy plan and a west coast pipeline- CUSMA joint review: the U.S. declines to renew, and what it means for Canadian trade- Toronto's FIFA World Cup bill: FIFA cashes out, taxpayers cover $380 million for six games- An Ontario judge exposes CBSA's 577,739-case deportation backlog through one repeat LCBO thief- Plus: a Brampton Ponzi scheme, Montreal's rental relief, BTCPay's new tap-to-pay terminal, Wasabi Wallet's mandatory upgrade, and a clipboard-hijacking cautionary tale Bitcoin doesn't create the incentive to overpromise and quietly walk it back - governments and corporate copycats do that fine on their own. Self-custody still means being your own bank. Just don't be a loud one about it.

In this episode of PING, we talk with Willem Toorop about a measurement of 6 choices for naming the root servers of the global DNS. This measurement was motivated by RSSAC 028, a 2017 technical analysis for ICANN of the naming scheme used by the root DNS servers. Root name servers are part of the global DNS system, and they provide basic bootstrapping for every other DNS resolver and authoritative name server worldwide. This is their primary role, but they also handle query load relating to the global DNS system all day and every day. There are 13 distinctly named root servers, each one identified by a letter from A to M under the domain root-servers.net. Although there are only 13 distinct "labels" there are in fact thousands of machines providing this service as independently operated clusters behind each of these letters, using the BGP "anycast" method we have discussed on PING before. The special zone, root servers.net was instantiated in 1995. It's delegated as normal under the .net zone, which in turn delegates from the root "dot" zone. If you are bootstrapping a new resolver, to find a root server you appear to need to know about the delegation of .net in order to find root servers.net, to find the given server. This is a circular dependency because you don't know how to find .net until you have asked a root server instance. The circular dependency is resolved by the contents of an initial "priming" response. This response provides the additional "glue" information to seed direct knowledge of how to find each of these named root servers as is, without all the intermediate logic of the circular dependency. This glue is inherently not signed in DNSSEC. It's insecure. The priming response is very carefully curated for both its size and the content but it would be good to give it some content security and increase trust in the message. RSSAC 028 explored the impact of applying DNSSEC over this domain, which in turn would add DNSSEC signatures to the priming response and impact a goal of keeping this a small 512 byte backwards compatible UDP packet. By keeping this response small, it would continue to work on all legacy systems worldwide. Nothing happens quickly in DNS evolution, and this naming question has now been under consideration for almost a decade. Willem and his colleagues at NLNet Labs and SIDN produced two reports reflecting on the candidate naming schemes, application of DNSSEC, and the impact on the bootstrap fetch. There are some surprising outcomes!

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Mallory Knodel, executive director and founder of the Social Web Foundation, to talk about internet governance, open standards, and the future of the social web. Mallory shares how her work as an activist, systems administrator, and public interest technologist led her into the organizations and working groups that shape how the internet functions, including the IETF, W3C, ICANN, and ITU. The conversation explores how the internet shifted from a collection of open protocols toward a small number of dominant platforms, and what that centralization means for users, developers, and independent service providers. Mallory explains how decisions made at the protocol level can affect everything from email deliverability to identity, data portability, trust and safety, and the ability to move between platforms. We also discuss the Social Web Foundation, ActivityPub, the Fediverse, and the idea of building a more multipolar social web. Mallory also looks at what happens when AI agents, automated accounts, and algorithmic feeds enter open social ecosystems. She shares her perspective on privacy, usability, encrypted messaging, and designing technology around user needs rather than engagement alone. Key Topics Discussed What it means to be a public interest technologist How internet governance affects everyday software development The role of global internet standards organizations How the IETF and W3C develop technical standards Corporate influence inside internet governance and standards bodies The internet's shift from protocols to centralized platforms Email deliverability and the hidden costs of centralization How platform control affects identity and user autonomy Why data portability remains difficult across social platforms The mission behind the Social Web Foundation How the Fediverse connects independent social platforms ActivityPub and Activity Streams as open web protocols AT Protocol, an alternative to ActivityPub How federated servers exchange content and user activity Why a multipolar web differs from decentralization What Meta's ActivityPub adoption means for federation The embrace, extend, extinguish risk for open protocols Discoverability challenges across federated social networks Trust and safety for smaller platform operators How protocol decisions can affect human rights AI agents entering open social web ecosystems Whether federated platforms should block automated crawlers Designing algorithmic feeds around values and user choice Privacy-first principles for developers building social software Encrypted direct messaging for the open social web Elixir projects building across the Fediverse ecosystem Links Mentioned: Mallory's Website https://malloryknodel.net/ Internet Protocol (IP) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) https://www.ietf.org/ International Communication Union https://www.itu.int/en/ Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) https://www.icann.org/ World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) https://www.w3.org/ Huawei https://www.huawei.com/en/ Cisco https://www.cisco.com/ Messaging, Malware and Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group (M³AAWG) https://www.m3aawg.org/ Social Web Foundation https://socialwebfoundation.org/ ActivityPub https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ AT Protocol https://atproto.com/ MeWe Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DNSP) https://dsnp.org/about/MeWe-use-case.html BlueSky https://bsky.app/ Mastodon https://joinmastodon.org/ Internet Society https://www.internetsociety.org/ Fediverse https://fediverse.party/ NCSA Mosaic Browser https://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/research/project-highlights/ncsa-mosaic/ Webring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring https://tags.pub/ Elixir projects: Pleroma https://pleroma.social/ Akkoma https://akkoma.social/ Bonfire Networks https://bonfirenetworks.org/ Mobilizon https://mobilizon.org/

DNSimple has a CLI! Carl and Richard talk to DNSimple CEO Anthony Eden about the evolution of the DNSimple CLI in today's software market. DNSimple provides DNS, domain registrar, and certificate services - so why does it need a CLI? Anthony talks about earlier experiments with CLIs for folks who didn't want to use the web interface. But today, large language models change the game and work best with a CLI - those specific commands mean more accurate results from LLMs, which make for a powerful natural language interface experience. The conversation covers the new tooling around LLMs, how the registrar market has evolved, changes to certificates, and ICANN's recent announcement of new gTLDs.

Illinois just signed the most punitive digital asset tax in US history — a 0.2% fee on every Bitcoin transfer, purchase, and receipt. Effective January 1, 2027. No exemption for transfers to your own wallet. And out-of-state brokers serving Illinois residents are captured too. This week on Canadian Bitcoiners, we break down exactly what the Illinois Digital Asset Tax Act does, who it hits, and why the Crypto Council for Innovation called it "the only state to punitively tax customers simply for receiving digital asset activity."But Illinois isn't the only story. The Federal Reserve proposed bank-style KYC requirements for every stablecoin issuer on June 18 — five agencies, joint rulemaking, comments close August 21. Stablecoins are officially becoming banks. Microsoft disclosed a Tor-based clipper malware campaign (Trojan/CryptoBandits.A) that has been running since February 2026, stealing Bitcoin seed phrases from clipboards and redirecting wallet addresses to attacker wallets via USB worm propagation. If your seed phrase ever passed through a shared Windows machine, you need to hear this.On the Canadian side: Prime Minister Carney's first federal budget cancelled the luxury tax on private jets and yachts — the only item in his budget that makes something cheaper — while Durham Region closed a homeless shelter and homelessness spiked 77% in eight months. Strategy's preferred stock STRC hit a record low of $87 against $100 par. Binance exits the EU on July 1. Jack Mallers' $140M XXI stock option package gets scrutinized. Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped 10% in the 11th-largest downward adjustment in network history.The week's thesis: every financial instrument that isn't Bitcoin is being taxed, tracked, or banned. Illinois taxed transfers. The Fed KYC'd stablecoins. Binance got pushed out of the EU.

“AI represents successful capitalism. What we have alongside that is unsuccessful government. Government has no plan — left or right.” — Keith Teare It's the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, there was an unambiguous end game — the defeat of Nazi Germany. But today, end games are more controversial, especially in terms of harnessing the AI revolution to benefit everyone. For Keith Teare, publisher of That Was the Week, the AI end game requires an “Institute of the Future.” Everyone from Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to Elon Musk and Sam Altman should hammer out a plan to harness AI for the benefit of society. Keith offers the internet governance organisation ICANN as a model for this institute. It will shape the future for all of our benefit, he promises. So a D-Day for AI? I'm sceptical of this type of Brave New World-style technocracy. Firstly, Sanders, Warren, Musk and Altman agree on very little. And Musk and Altman hate each other. I'm also dubious that AI will or can benefit everyone. As Keith notes, some professions — teachers, for example — will be decimated by AI. Where I agree with Keith, however, is that we need a new politics for this new age. Political parties, rather than institutes, of the future. Innovation rather than ICANN. Five Takeaways •       The Anthropic IPO Slip — and Why SpaceX Now Looks Small: Anthropic accidentally filed for its IPO this week — what the New York Times described as a slip. The terms of SpaceX's unconventional $75 billion IPO were also revealed. Keith's observation: SpaceX now looks small by comparison. He tried to buy SpaceX shares this week through his brokerage and expects to get none — the demand will be way bigger than the supply, and the price will go up from the offering. San Francisco real estate is already feeling the Cerebras effect: 800 employees are now millionaires. The three big IPOs — Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX — will compound that on a much larger scale. •       Successful Capitalism, Unsuccessful Government: Keith's framework for the week: AI is capitalism working. Resources are directed to money-making opportunities via the profit motive, which coincides with innovation and, at least in the short term, creates lots of jobs. That is successful capitalism. Alongside it: unsuccessful government. The Trump administration went from hands-off to requiring all AI models to be submitted for a 30-day assessment before launch — in the same week. No plan. No endgame. Everyone has an opinion. Nobody states what outcome they want. •       Keith's PhD: Why Capitalism Is Never Static: Andrew challenges Keith's authority to pronounce on these matters. Keith reveals: he has a PhD from the University of Kent in Canterbury — on why capitalism is never static, and why new entrants always eclipse what went before. Andrew: that was the 1970s, Keith. Does a fifty-year-old PhD give you authority? Keith: it's a useless criticism. You could say that to anyone about anything. The exchange is revealing: the argument is not about credentials but about frameworks. And Keith's framework — capitalism as dynamic, government as static — has at least the virtue of consistency. •       Credit to Bernie and Warren: At Least They're Having the Conversation: Andrew expects Keith to trash Bernie Sanders (50% government ownership of AI companies) and Elizabeth Warren (high taxation of AI profits). Keith surprises him: at least they're having the conversation. His criticism is not that they're wrong to want wealth distribution but that their framing — tax, centralise, spend — is unattractive to most people and captured by the interests of the old economy: teachers' unions, trade unions, legacy coalitions that can't think freely about a future without teachers as they currently exist. •       An ICANN for AI: Keith's One Concrete Prescription: Andrew pushes Keith for one concrete thing politicians should do this year. Keith's answer: create an Institute for the Future. Bring Musk, Altman, Amodei, Sanders, Warren, and everyone else to the table with a clear mandate — define the future you want, agree actual outcomes, seek governmental authority to implement them. His model: ICANN, the global internet governance body, which disagrees constantly and still makes decisions. Andrew's verdict: Keith wants to create an ICANN for society. Interesting idea. History's jury is out. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and Andrew's regular TWTW co-host. He holds a PhD from the University of Kent. References: •       That Was the Week by Keith Teare. •       Noah Smith, “We Need Liberal Nationalism to Come Back” — referenced in the conversation. •       The Economist, “American Capitalism Has Taken an Apocalyptic Turn” — referenced in the conversation. •       Ben Thompson on Google becoming a capital company; John Battelle on Google reinventing itself from search to data infrastructure — both referenced. •       ICANN — the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, Keith's model for AI governance. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

Balazs Nemethi, CEO of the Agent Community, explains why AI agents need identities and why the window to decide who controls that infrastructure is closing fast. He breaks down how a community-governed effort is working to secure .agent as a top-level domain, and why domains are a smart foundation for agent identity. Key Takeaways: Why agents need identities, including personalized names and domains What challenges will emerge around trust, safety, and accountability as agents scale, and why domains are a powerful trust layer What community governance could change by preventing single-company control over agent identity How the ICANN application process works, and the one bylaw that gives community a real shot at winning a TLD Why verifying agents (not just humans) may be the smarter approach to trust on the agentic web Guest Bio: Balázs Nemethi is a Hungarian technologist and entrepreneur working at the intersection of internet infrastructure, identity, and AI. He is the founder of the Agent Community at agentcommunity.org, a community-backed effort to establish .agent as a new top-level domain and identity layer for AI agents. He is also the author of AID, a DNS-first standard for agent identity and discovery. Previously, he helped scale the Decentralized Identity Foundation to more than 300 organizations; founded Taqanu, a financial-inclusion company serving refugees in Germany; and built Web3 compliance infrastructure at Veri Labs, where he is the inventor on a U.S. patent for programmable assets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.

Iran just launched Hormuz Safe — a Bitcoin-settled maritime insurance platform routing $10B in Strait of Hormuz shipping AROUND SWIFT. Bitcoin is now a geopolitical settlement layer. Canada take note.Iran's Ministry of Economy quietly switched on "Hormuz Safe" on May 16 — a state-backed platform that lets shipping companies buy insurance for transit through the Strait of Hormuz and settle the premiums in Bitcoin. Coverage activates the moment the on-chain confirmation lands. The Islamic Republic is projecting more than $10 billion in annual revenue from a service explicitly designed to bypass SWIFT, dollar rails, and Western insurers. The Strait carries roughly 20% of global oil. Bitcoin is no longer a retail speculation — it's a sovereign workaround layer for the most contested chokepoint on the planet. Canadian shippers, energy traders, and compliance officers will be navigating this for years.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:

Saylor just broke Strategy's "NEVER SELL" Bitcoin rule. The $1.5B dividend math, the 11.5% yield, the Q1 -$12.5B net loss, and what it means for Canadian MSTR holders — explained.Michael Saylor told investors on Strategy's Q1 2026 earnings call that he will "probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend, just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it." Three days later he walked it back, saying the remark wasintended to "jam short-sellers and 'haters.'" Strategy holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537. The annualized preferred dividend obligation is roughly $1.5 billion. Q1 net loss was $12.54 billion.

The human-speed defense of small business is being obliterated by the machine-speed offense of AI-driven cybercrime. Today, what large companies treat as a manageable risk is a terminal expense for small enterprises, with 60% of small enterprises shutting down within six months of a major attack. As AI-crafted phishing lures achieve a 54% click-through rate, traditional “awareness” training has become a shallow defense against an automated tide. We are at a strategic crossroads: do we outsource our security to Big Tech, wait for the government to mandate a minimum level of security, or return to the “radical collaboration” that built the Internet itself? Can we bake immunity directly into the Internet’s plumbing before the 400 million small businesses that form our economic backbone become mere collateral damage? Join us for a conversation with Brian Cute, the CEO of the Global Cyber Alliance. A veteran of Internet governance, he has held leadership roles at ICANN and the Public Interest Registry (the .org registry). He now leads The Global Cyber Alliance’s mission to deliver practical and effective tools to those most at risk in a fractured digital landscape. Hosted by: Alexa Raad and Leslie Daigle.

What if your biggest competitor this holiday season isn't another brand, but an army of AI-powered scammers stealing your customers and destroying your brand equity before you even know they exist?Agility requires not only building a brand that can pivot with market trends, but also one that can defend its value and customer trust against threats that evolve just as quickly.Today, we're going to talk about the dark side of digital engagement, including the rapidly growing threat of brand impersonation, counterfeit goods, and AI-driven scams that target the customers marketers work so hard to attract. This isn't just an IT security issue; it's a fundamental threat to customer experience, brand trust, and revenue.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Yoav Keren, CEO and Co-founder at BrandShield.

What if your biggest competitor this holiday season isn't another brand, but an army of AI-powered scammers stealing your customers and destroying your brand equity before you even know they exist? Agility requires not only building a brand that can pivot with market trends, but also one that can defend its value and customer trust against threats that evolve just as quickly. Today, we're going to talk about the dark side of digital engagement, including the rapidly growing threat of brand impersonation, counterfeit goods, and AI-driven scams that target the customers marketers work so hard to attract. This isn't just an IT security issue; it's a fundamental threat to customer experience, brand trust, and revenue. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Yoav Keren, CEO and Co-founder at BrandShield.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Chris Mondini, Vice President of Stakeholder Engagement and Managing Director of Europe for ICANN, and Dusty Trevino, CEO of Dot Vegas. We will learn how top-level domains are created and what domains like Dot Vegas can do to help a brand stand out. Our conversation is informative, educational, and will give you a whole new perspective on your brand's Internet address. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How top-level domains (TLDs) are created and why the addressing system of the Internet matters Why distinctive TLDs, like Dot Vegas, offer a strategic advantage for destination branding and marketing What it takes to register your own top-level domain, including the technical, financial, and organizational requirements necessary How geographic domains (such as .vegas, .nyc, and .brussels) can strengthen place identity and foster trust Why cities and entrepreneurs collaborate in launching city-based TLDs, and how community endorsement is essential for successful implementation How adopting new TLDs can make brands more memorable to prospective visitors, and help organizations stand out from the crowd Demystifying Top-Level Domains A memorable web address is more than just a convenience, it's an essential tool for branding, discoverability, and trust. Chris Mondini, Vice President of Stakeholder Engagement and Managing Director of Europe for ICANN, and Dusty Trevino, CEO of Dot Vegas, discuss how TLDs like .vegas, .paris, and .nyc can be invaluable assets for destination marketers, tourism professionals, and place branding experts. Most consider internet domains an afterthought, but as Chris explains, they're the backbone of online connectivity. The Internet isn't a single global network—it's tens of thousands of independently operated networks that agree to connect using common protocols and a shared addressing system. Fifteen years ago, there were only a handful: .com, .net, .org, and so on. Today, there are TLDs for cities (.nyc, .paris), concepts (.guru, .xyz), and more, opening new doors for personalized branding and community-building online. The Dot Vegas Story Dusty offers an inside look into operating Dot Vegas, which shows how a custom domain can amplify a destination's brand. Unlike some city domains, .vegas is globally accessible; anyone can register, regardless of residency. This flexibility enables local businesses, tour operators, and organizations worldwide to associate themselves with the Vegas brand, strengthening their ties to the city's renowned excitement and appeal. Why Top-Level Domains Matter for Marketers A custom TLD isn't just a vanity URL. Operating a TLD means running a piece of internet infrastructure and directly controlling your digital address, data queries, policies, and trust signals. For marketers, there are lots of benefits: Brand Identity: A city or region TLD immediately communicates place and can reinforce local pride. Discoverability: Words like "weddings.vegas" are memorable, making campaigns more effective and easier to recall. Trust & Security: A TLD operated or endorsed by local government or a trusted entity assures users of authenticity—crucial for e-commerce, municipal services, and tourism. Data Insights: TLD operators gain visibility into traffic and usage, supporting more targeted digital strategies. If you see ".yourcity," you can trust you're connecting with the real brand. Top-level domains aren't just technical jargon; they're strategic marketing tools that can transform destination branding, promote community engagement, and build trust with global audiences.

Kevin Werbach interviews Karine Perset, Acting Head of the OECD's AI and Emerging Technology Division, about the global effort to shape responsible AI. Perset explains how the OECD—an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries—has become a central forum for governments to cooperate on complex, interdependent challenges like AI. Since launching its AI foresight forum in 2016, the OECD has spearheaded two cornerstone initiatives: the OECD Recommendation on AI, the first intergovernmental standard adopted in 2019, and OECD.AI, a policy observatory that tracks global trends, policies, and metrics. Perset highlights the organization's unique role in convening evidence-based dialogue across governments, experts, and stakeholders worldwide. She describes the challenge of reconciling diverse national approaches while developing common tools, like a global incident-reporting framework and over 250 indicators that measure AI maturity across investment, research, infrastructure, and workforce skills. She underscores both the urgency and the opportunity: AI systems are diffusing rapidly across all sectors, powered by common algorithms that create shared risks. Without aligned safeguards and interoperable standards, countries risk repeating one another's mistakes. Yet if governments can coordinate, share data responsibly, and support one another's policy development, AI can strengthen economic resilience, innovation, and public trust. Karine Perset is the Acting Head of the OECD AI and Emerging Digital Technologies Division, where she oversees the OECD.AI Policy Observatory, the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) & integrated network of experts as well as the OECD Global Forum on Emerging Technologies. She oversees the development of analysis, policies and tools inline with the OECD AI Principles. She also helps governments manage the opportunities and challenges that AI and emerging technologies raise for governments. Previously she was Advisor to ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee and Counsellor of the OECD's Science, Technology and Industry Director. OECD.ai
