Two guests from the AnthemGold and Hercules projects join us for this episode. Cynthia Blanchard is the Co-Founder and President of these companies, while Julie Mei is the Chief Technology Officer. Cynthia’s husband, Anthem Blanchard, was adopted into a family with a deep history involving gold. She shares the story of how her father-in-law, James U. Blanchard III, led the charge in lifting laws restricting ownership of gold in the United States. AnthemGold aims to build on Blanchard’s vision with its gold-backed asset token that enables easy transactions using gold, one of history’s most widely trusted and universal mediums of exchange. Julie explains the technology behind Hercules, a blockchain-based supply chain solution, and its use to track the purchase, movement, and ownership of gold bars represented by AnthemGold tokens. Cynthia believes that as Hercules demonstrates its utility as an enterprise supply chain solution, various industries will wake up to the value of blockchain technology as a data verification and tracking tool. Julie says that the big changes in crypto are coming from the small players and that the current aim for AnthemGold and Hercules is to stay small enough to easily meet the needs of clients. Cynthia and Julie share their predictions of where bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general are headed in the coming years.   Topics covered: - The vastly different ways that Cynthia and Julie discovered crypto. - Cynthia’s ties to Anthem Blanchard and companies, AnthemGold and Hercules. - An explanation of AnthemGold and how it stores gold reserves. - How the Hercules software applies to AnthemGold. - An example of blockchain use in a supply chain. - Industries and applications that will really benefit from blockchain. - Cost benefits of Hercules compared to Ethereum. - Scaling dilemmas in the cryptocurrency space. - Resources that Cynthia and Julie use to stay up-to-date on news and developments. - The future of cryptocurrency.   Links to Resources: AnthemGold: https://anthemgold.com/ Hercules: https://herc.one/ Julie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sudobangbang Anthem Blanchard on Twitter: https://twitter.com/anthemhayek Hercules on Telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/E_FZdg4HNKlqnxKXEEeYxw AnthemGold on Telegram: https://t.me/anthemgold

I had an awesome interview with Anthem Blanchard. He's CEO and Founder of Anthem Vault, also serving as a member of the Board of Directors. Anthem brings extensive knowledge of the gold and silver industry to the company. He was raised by legendary goldbug and precious metals pioneer, James U. Blanchard III, who helped restore Americans' right to own gold and also founded rare coin and bullion company, Blanchard & Company. Anthem Vault provides individuals with an efficient and liquid way to buy, own, and sell fractional amounts of physical, 100% fine gold and silver bullion. Anthem Vault’s spinoff company AnthemGold is launching an Ethereum-based utility token, HERCULES (ticker: HERC), that functions to verify the existence of the gold backing its digital, spendable Anthem (ticker: AGLD) token. Each Anthem token is backed by one gram of physical gold, can be redeemed for physical gold, and will soon be tradeable person-to-person on a private network.
