David A. Johnston is the Chief Strategy Officer at DLTx, the first public tech company run by decentralists who believe the future will be built on open public blockchains, owned and operated by their users.David is a major crypto OG, he was the chairman of the board of Mastercoin and facilitated the world's first ICO (initial coin offering), he was one of the first people to analyze the Ethereum white paper.This episode is to understand the thinking that leads David to his current beliefs, to give us a better sense of how we can build a more decentralized financial system, a more decentralized “web3” or decentralized everything for that matter.David explains the "tokenization of everything" logic, and how it comes from his insights into economics and libertarian philosophy.One of his core insights in 2013 was that the network effects of technology companies are specialized. Arguing against others who believed Bitcoin would become the be-all-end-all, David foresaw and shaped the emergence of decentralized applications (dApps), before Ethereum even launched.The train of decentralization is now in motion and unstoppable. It will eventually lead to all assets having an on-chain record of transactions and ownership.This new decentralized finance system is orders of magnitude cheaper, faster, and more efficient than the traditional system that requires lawyers and intermediaries.Governments and legislators, consequently, fight against this new system that is threatening to upend their privileges. The United States has become a hostile environment for crypto, which is why David moved to Puerto Rico 3 years ago.Special jurisdictions have been forward-thinking, like Estonia, Switzerland, Portugal or Singapore, and especially Puerto Rico, in attracting the crypto community.Adoption of cryptocurrencies is highest in Nigeria, Vietnam or Argentina.David is quite open that the blockchain movement is on a collision course with nation states, and he would like to see a separation of nation and state.The future might be network nations that are globally distributed, but share an identity, a membership or residency, or a common culture.That is the ultimate end of the decentralization of everything.Join us on May 5-7 the Caribbean island of Roatan for a summit in Prospera and help us build exactly that decentralized future: https://infinitafund.com/defi2023For more information about Infinita, check this Linktree: https://linktr.ee/infinitavc

Brock Pierce has been at the heart of almost every major innovation and event in Web 3 from being an early investor in and Chairman of The Bitcoin Foundation. He has raised more funding for crypto startups than anyone else on the planet, pioneering the first Initial Coin Offering with Mastercoin in 2013 which triggered the run to a $20bn 2017 ‘ICO Boom’. He co-founded Blockchain Capital the first blockchain VC, and with them conducted the first STO (Security Token Offering). As co-founder of EOS he conducted not just the largest ICO but largest crowdfunding event in history raising $4bn. As an investor, he was one of the largest backers of Ethereum ICO but also cofounded Tether the first asset-backed stablecoin. He talks candidly about how being an early founder in gaming and esports in the 90s and 00s gave him an edge in understanding the rising importance of digital currency & assets like NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) as well as by growing a powerful network of founders, once described as the ‘Crypto Illuminati’, he built information asymmetry to spot and act on market opportunities.

In this episode, we are talking about cryptocurrencies  backed by gold, OmniCoin, and ICO Scams.   Since 1971, the US dollar is no longer backed by gold. It is essentially just a piece of paper, backed by faith in the US government. There are currently no government-issued currencies that are 100% backed by gold or any other valuable material. If you’re one of the many who wants a currency backed by precious metals, the emerging token assetization market is creating digital tokens that represent shares of gold, silver, palladium, and other metals, held in different mining reserves and private vaults. What if you could even trade your Bitcoins for gold? It’s now possible. But be careful, there are a tremendous amount of scams! A thing to beware of is that many of  ICOs are actually for gold mining companies. You get an equity share of the company while they mine for actual gold. However, there are no promises of actually finding any. These ICOs can be repeated indefinitely by the same people, suckering people who are hoping for a huge payout that never comes. There is a list of gold-backed tokens that have become legitimate enough to make it onto www.coinmarketcap.com. There are, however, dozens of others out there, which are in ICO, pre-ICO, or are too small to have made any waves in the market. Again, we are not endorsing the following projects and you must do your research before investing in any ICO or cryptocurrency. At the time of writing (July 16th, 2018) price of one (1) gram of gold: $39.87 AurumCoin (AU) - http://www.aurumcoin.com DigixGlobal (DGX) - https://digix.global GoldMint (MNTP) - https://www.goldmint.io HelloGold (HGT) - https://www.hellogold.org Xaurum (XAUR) - https://www.xaurum.org GoldBlocks (GB) - https://info.mygoldblocks.com Dignity (DIG) - https://cryptobontix.com   Omni (Known as Mastercoin) - The first altcoin was named Mastercoin. 5 years after its birth, Omni’s market cap is little over 7 million USD. The ROI for the initial ICO investors is about 700% and the value of the token has grown from an initial price around $1.5 USD to $12 USD by the time of writing. The most famous offspring fostered by Omni are Tether and MaidSafe - not exactly the hallmarks of a failure. But the truth is that compared to the grandiosity of Bitcoin and the explosiveness of recent ICOs, holding a rank of 499 on www.coinmarketcap.com is nothing to brag about.   Listen to Crypto and Blockchain Talk for more interesting topics!
