This video documents the "Fake Justin Sun" (no relation to the real Justin Sun) who is trying to scam me to buy his fake Tron Stablecoin. Details of the scam are covered here in CoinTelegraph: https://cointelegraph.com/news/careful-there-s-a-justin-sun-look-a-like-trying-to-launch-a-fake-tron-privacy-coin Gumi Cryptos Capital partner, Miko Matsumura, recently spoke with a scam artist pretending to be Justin Sun. The imposter was attempting to sell a supposed privacy-focused crypto-asset pegged to the value of real Tron TRX coins. Upon initial inspection of the project and its token sale, Matsumura jumped on Skype for a call with someone who claimed to be Justin Sun. "The impostor was very realistic as you can see," Matsumura told Cointelegraph referring to a video he provided of his chat. Matsumura also provided Cointelegraph with a copy of the fake project's white paper. The fraudulent token positioned itself as a privacy solution. Called TRZ, the asset claimed a price pegged to the TRX coin. It used similar technology to other known privacy assets. TRZ also claimed a total token supply of 99 billion — just 281,283,754 less than the total TRX supply listed on CoinMarketCap. The white paper showed a "seed sale date" of "May - June." "TRZ is the first privacy token on Tron and it realizes the complete privacy protection of the Tron network through non-interactive zero-knowledge proof," the scam white paper said. "Compared to the existing blockchain privacy protection technologies, TRZ can help realize the privacy protection of account and transaction information," the white paper added, proving a point of irony — an asset touting security actually looked to harm participants in reality, as part of a fake offering. Matsumura noted the sale as a purported Binance initial exchange offering or IEO. Matsumura said that the scam was persuasive: "Overall I thought it was a fairly convincing fake. I have met the real Justin Sun in person so this is a fairly high standard IMO."

In this episode of Silicon Valley Insider, Keith Koo’s special guest is Miko Matsumura, General Partner of Gumi Ventures and founder of U.S. based virtual currency exchange Evercoin. Miko shares how his passion for open-source software began as a Java evangelist for SUN Microsystem and how that passion led to Miko to embrace the decentralized world of Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem as they are fundamentally built on top of open-source standards so that he is now widely known as a blockchain and cryptocurrency evangelist. Miko and Keith also discuss how blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption has still not yet hit the mainstream and that is in part due to the fear, uncertainty, and doubt associated with many stories related to safety and security of these digital assets. Miko started a website called www.safercrypto.org to address this need and gives brief descriptions of some of the tools available for people to keep themselves safe. Miko and Keith also discuss the economic effects of “money-printing” and why people consider cryptocurrency as a hedge. On this week’s Cyber-Tip, Keith gives a warning on the rise of phishing based cyber-attacks under cover of “contact tracing”.

The release of admitting we don’t know everything is a source of hope. Jacob: Feeling like I’m known personally and professionally is important to me, but being known in a deterministic way resonated with me. Artemis: The Bob Marley principle that was mentioned. Thinking about that philosophy connects with the ideas we talked about. When you realize all the intelligence that is out there, thinking of how small you are. If we can lose our mind and come back to our senses and see that we are part of this fabric, we’re not really all that different. Miko: “You can’t fool all the people all the time.” It is a way of connecting with the world of limitation.

Miko Matsumura - Serial Entrepreneur, Venture Partner & Co-Founder of EvercoinMiko took a winding career road from pure science to Silicon Valley where he caught the start-up bug. After a foray at a large company, he went “from zero to one” and launched a series of start-ups. In 2016, he became interested in crypto and soon started Evercoin, a crypto service based in self-custody and ownership. In the episode, he raises some key questions: if money will poison open source or if open source will liberate money and make it more virtuous, if open source is essentially a bubble that will burst in investors’ faces, and if there’s a benefit to the crypto volatility that points to its rising fame. Hear Miko’s take on the beauty of the Internet, how crypto is the first protocol for storing and transmitting economic value on the Internet, and the future of open source currency.

Over the past couple years we’ve seen a number of crypto wallets designed to offer security to coin holders. We’ve been big fans of the Trezor and Ledger wallets, but some new technologies are creating opportunities for digital wallets to become even safer. Evercoin now claims to be the safest cryptocurrency wallet and exchange. Evercoin co-founders Miko Matsumura and Talip Ozturk join us today to discuss their latest update and how their integration with the Yubikey make their wallet the safest one available. What do you get when you combine a spicy password, a dash of biometrics, a sprinkle of 2FA, a dollop of hardware security and a jar of nutella? We’re not really sure, but at least part of it sounds tasty. Find out more on episode #338 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

There's a point in life, somewhere around the halfway mark, where the reality check hits -- you're going to die. There's a future without you in it. There's a new generation of children growing up, learning their way through the world, and humanity will keep moving forward without you. On one hand, this is depressing. Everyday, we go through the motions. Everyday, we play the game. And suddenly, it all seems so meaningless. The characteristic period of "mid-life crisis" starts with falling into a pit of nihilistic despair, and a quest to answer the most basic existential questions. Does anything really matter? Who am I? What do I live for? On the other side of these questions, something magical happens. The finiteness of Life is also what gives it meaning. Every breath is something to cherish. Every joyful memory is a gift. And right now, in this moment, we have the opportunity to live and be, whoever it is we want to be. Who are your heroes? Who do you admire? What character do you want to play? How can you use your special gifts to lift the people around you? Like a cacoon-shattering phase change, a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, we become an Elder, a steward, and a leader that works on behalf of the children of our future. This audio clip is a conversation between Claire Lew (https://twitter.com/clairejlew), CEO of Know Your Team (https://knowyourteam.com/) & Arty Starr (https://twitter.com/janellekz) about the journey of becoming an Elder, and why Arty decided to change her name.

In claiming the summer of 2018 as the Great Gestation, new terms and phrases arose in these interviews and I got seriously scared of what decentralization feels like. In Part 1, Rebekah coins "access equality" and "decentralized success" in the closing episode here @miko coins "consensus currencies" and tells the story of what might the original decentralized currency in the stone age.
