Theo and Eve are back this week with Social in Six - a breakdown the top social media headlines and what you need to know. In this episode we discuss the arrival of Voice Tweets and TikTok For Business, as well as the news that brands that want to advertise on Instagram will no longer have to have a Facebook Ads account to do so. That news follows the growing advertiser boycott of Facebook - the third in as many years. We also cover everything revealed at Snapchat’s smash-hit Partner Summit event, as well as revealing the reasons that WhatsApp Pay was suspended by Brazil’s government just one week after its launch - paving an uncertain path for Facebook’s Project Libra. Finally we talk about the latest addition to Instagram Shopping - something that small businesses and creators will be very, very happy to hear. Want to be on Social Minds?

According to a co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain, Facebook should not be spearheading the libra cryptocurrency project. Joseph Lubin, who also founded blockchain company Consensys, said libra “suffers from its greatest asset” — the Menlo Park, California-based social media giant itself. Unveiled in June, Project Libra was originally introduced along with a list of prominent corporate backers. Since then, it has faced skepticism and scrutiny from regulators, amid concerns over the entrance of Facebook into the financial services space, given the firm’s many reported missteps in handling personal data. To be sure, Facebook will not have unilateral control over libra. Instead, the cryptocurrency will be governed by its panel of backers, which includes Facebook as a member. In October, libra suffered a major setback when major payments firms such as Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and PayPal pulled their support for the project. The exodus preceded the Libra Association’s inaugural meeting, during which Facebook and 20 other members signed the council’s charter. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

The global revolution of expanding the internet of information and communication to include the internet of value is underway in earnest. Governments and Corporations are jockeying for position to be frontrunners. Facebook's Libra Association has thrown down the gauntlet on digital currencies, triggering China to announce that it will release its central bank digital currency in November of 2019. Whereas precious metals once backed the paper money revolution, the Bitcoin revolution is increasingly backed by the data-gold mined by corporations from our digital selves. Join Matt Foley and returning guest, Ziv Keinan, as they discuss the emerging taxonomy of digital assets, corporate and government competition for the new world order of money and the effects on our digital privacy.
In episode 048 of Social Minds we return for another Breaking Social segment, in which Theo and Eve translate the biggest social media stories to break over the last month—and July 2019 was not short of material. The last 31 days have seen Snapchat take its naysayers by surprise with impressive second-quarter results; the platform gained 13 million new users. Also new at Snap Inc. was Snapchat’s first major ad campaign, Real Friends, which reveals its USP and strategy against long-time rival, Instagram. Twitter was the second social networking site which had a campaign to share; its Me On Twitter user-generated ads are the latest in a shift towards a new and humanised tone of voice. Both campaigns hold important lessons for brands and hint at the most noticeable and cost-effective marketing opportunity right now. As well as this, we talked all things Facebook, following the FTC’s largest fine in its history, how Facebook widgets are falling foul of GDPR and the release of Netflix’s Cambridge Analytica exposé, The Great Hack. These setbacks come at a crucial time for Facebook as the data implications of its new Neurolink-style tech and Project Libra are under scrutiny. Finally we are thrilled to share the details of Social Chain Data’s official launch—a new dedicated service giving brands access to 80 million super fans, consumer trends and unprecedented marketing insights.
The Trump administration has dropped plans to add a citizenship question to the 2020 US Census, the Justice Department said yesterday, just days after the Supreme Court described the rationale for the question as “contrived.” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement, “I respect the Supreme Court but strongly disagree with its ruling regarding my decision to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 Census.” Is this a victory going forward?A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday blocked an April order by US Attorney General William Barr that would have kept thousands of migrants detained indefinitely while waiting for their asylum cases to be decided. Judge Marsha J. Pechman of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (a Bill Clinton appointee) described the order, which would have denied some migrants a bail hearing, as unconstitutional. Under a preliminary injunction, Pechman said migrants must be granted a bond hearing within seven days of a request or be released if they have not received a hearing in that time.A group of Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee is calling on Facebook to halt its plan to develop a cryptocurrency-based payment platform. The lawmakers, whose panel will hold a hearing later this month on Facebook's Project Libra, wrote a letter to company executives Tuesday expressing concerns with the cryptocurrency's security and oversight while stressing the need to protect users' privacy and thwart hackers. This is getting a bit dicey.GUESTS: Abel Nunez — Executive director of the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN). Carlos Castaneda — Attorney at Garcia & Garcia. Sinclair Skinner — Co-founder of BitMari.com, a Pan-African bitcoin wallet.Linwood Tauheed — Associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

So it's official: Project Libra has been announced to a waiting world, and we can finally get a look at the worst-kept secret in blockchain... Facebook, and a consortium of corporate partners, are creating Libra Coin. Their stated aim is to offer fast low cost payments to the millions of unbanked people around the world, but the details are still hazy. To help us try and unpack them, we speak to software developer Jeansy Molanza, whose knowledge of blockchain combines with life experience in the UK and Africa, to offer a unique perspective on what money really means - especially in parts of the world where economic and political uncertainty is a constant backdrop. We discuss the implications of Project Libra for developed and less-developed nations and the people who live there, and try to extrapolate the broader impact this new development may have on the cryptocurrency world in general... and indeed, the wider world. Keep up with Jeansy and his excellent work on Twitter https://twitter.com/jeansymolanza ________________________________________________________ And if you like what you hear, we’ll be sharing new episodes every fortnight.

(please subscribe and give us a 5-star rating!) Megaphone: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/hype... D. Tyler Jenks, the President, and CIO of Lucid Investment Strategies LLC developed the proprietary technical system of Hyperwave. After 40 years as an investment manager, he discovered over 300 examples of Hyperwaves within various asset classes; stocks, bonds, commodities, indexes, and cryptocurrencies. Through careful study, he invented and developed the Hyperwave Theory, which is a technical tool to analyze the Hyperwaves and determine price movements. Tyler believes that Bitcoin is currently in a Hyperwave and through these vlogs, he will educate, elucidate and explain the techniques needed to understand this powerful tool. Tyler has managed billions of dollars for Institutional Investors, Pension Funds, Hedge Funds and individual clients. He received his MBA from the University of Hawaii in 1975 and has been involved in the financial markets ever since. His background in technical analysis includes all the major techniques including a number of proprietary systems he and others created and designed. Tyler believes that Hyperwaves occur when there is a momentous shift taking place in the macroeconomic environment. Hyperwaves were formed as the world entered the Great Depression when Bretton Woods was scuttled with the US going off the gold standard in 1971, when Japan rose to world economic prominence in the 1970s and 80s, when the Nasdaq was powered by the dot-com bubble and now, with the introduction of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Amazingly, Tyler believes this newest Hyperwave could be the most significant he has ever studied.

This week we discuss Project Libra, the secret Cryptocurrency project Facebook has been working on for over a year. The Federal Trade Commission, backed by two bipartisan senators, sent a letter to Mark Zuckerberg this past week seeking clarification and the intentions of the project. They should have just asked Mr. Crypto! Tune in to find out all the poop and why Facebook should be broken up into several smaller public companies. Small is beautiful. Big is cancer.
Colin and Sara are joined by a host of brilliant guests this week to talk about the latest and greatest news in blockchain, including: Aman Kohli, CTO of Banking and Cap markets UKI at DXC Technology Isabel Woodford, Reporter at The Block Richard Crook, Director at LAB577 First up, we take a look at Project Libra. Facebook's long-rumored stablecoin will be at the center of a brand new payments network and is in discussions with payment networks Visa and Mastercard. The group discusses whether Facebook could be the Metro Bank or Monzo and asks if there's a strong enough use-case for the coin at all (02:16). Next we talk about SIX’s planned digital exchange going live with a native token and an “initial digital offering” (IDO) service in 2020. By 2021, they expect the SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) to be tokenizing traditional securities such as equities, fixed income and funds, provided the regulatory set-up is in place. Our guests ask if the token was made just because everyone else was doing it (11:30). We also have a great Tweet of the Week from @VladZamfir on calling Ether money. Other stories include: Fidelity Will Offer Cryptocurrency Trading Within a Few Weeks Regulators Ready to Approve Ethereum Futures NY Attorney General’s office alleges “substantial evidence of fraudulent conduct” at Bitfinex and Tether All this and so much more on this week's episode of Blockchain Insider.
