Bereits nächste Woche könnten die Bitcoin-Bestände Sachsens vollständig geleert sein. Warum das Land die Coins nicht behält. Noch vor wenigen Wochen war Sachsen in der Theorie eines der reichsten Bitcoin-Länder überhaupt. So zählte das Bundesland 50.000 BTC im Wert von mehr als drei Milliarden US-Dollar. Binnen weniger Wochen schrumpfen die Bestände um fast 90 Prozent. Durch seine BTC-Verkäufe erntet das LKA-Sachsen derzeit den Hohn der Bitcoin-Community. Möglicherweise zu Unrecht. Wann kommt der Ethereum ETF? Fast zwei Monate wartet der Krypto-Sektor nun schon auf die Freigabe zum Handelsstart der im Mai genehmigten Ethereum-ETFs. Doch diese lässt auch in dieser Woche auf sich warten. Grund sind Verzögerungen bei der US-Börsenaufsicht, die den Prozess scheinbar in die Länge zieht. Derweil bekommt der Solana-ETF eine Deadline für eine mögliche Zulassung. Wenngleich die Aussicht darauf eher getrübt sind. SEC gegen Krypto Die SEC macht sich indes weiter Feinde im Krypto-Space. Der Messari-Gründer Ryan Selkis, erklärte der Behörde demnach den Krieg – und beschimpfte sie als “korrupt und sinnlos”. So gerät die Behörde inzwischen sogar an die Kollegen bei der CFTC, wo man, entgegen der Narrative der SEC, 70 - 80 Prozent der Altcoins für Commodities erklärt. Wie es inmitten des regulatorischen Trubels in den USA jetzt weitergehen könnte. Entdecke jetzt alle weiteren Angebote von BTC-ECHO:

Iv'e recently noticed an interesting pattern in my sleep. Those days where I'm strictly low carb-high protein, I tend to wake up at 4 am regardless of what time I go to sleep. I usually go to bed at 10, but even when I went to bed at 12 - same thing happened! It's always the same time - betwwen 4 to 4:30 and from then until wake-up time I'm drowsing on and off! The other days when I'm adding carb throughout the day, my sleep is amazing! I've tried adding a little carb at night on my low carb days, sometimes a banana, sometimes even a piece of cake, but to no sucess. I take vitamin D every day both from the sun (when available) and from supplements (10000 UI). I'm 30 years old and I work out 3-4 days a week bodybuilding style. Oh and I fall asleep quite fast at night, but it's the waking up that bothers me. Hope you can help me, and waiting for your kosher certification on your LMNT's. Israel from Brooklyn   Brother's horrific fibro post op kidney transplant Longest time listener, first time caller, My brother (28 years old) suddenly went into kidney failure for no reason anyone has provided a good explanation for on Christmas Day 2019. He was on hemodialysis and then peritoneal dialysis until July of 2022. He underwent a kidney transplant from the best human among us. ‘Phase II' of his transplant included (was supposed to include) receiving stem cells from his donor post operatively, with emerging data showing reduction of anti-rejection meds with treatment. The trial was cancelled 10 days before he was supposed to participate, and who knows what happened to these stem cells. He is currently experiencing excruciating full body pains and has been diagnosed with medication induced fibromyalgia. He eats SQUEAKY clean, 5'10/160lbs but has poor tolerance to exercise because getting hot or sweating makes him itch excessively. He is nearing hopelessness due to the severity of symptoms and since his clinical trial was cancelled, will never receive those already harvested/cultured stem cells. I can't watch him suffer anymore and gratefully ask for any suggestions or referrals you could provide. You guys rock - found you guys in 2013 and it changed everything for me. Sincerely, Concerned sister   TRT Matt: Hi Robb I know you've brought up this subject in the past and chronically you experience with clomid.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong hosts Ryan Selkis, co-founder and CEO of Messari as the two discuss the impacts of the FTX collapse on the industry and its regulatory environment, and how Web3 builders can learn from this experience and move the space forward.This episode of Around the Block was recorded during @coinbase's live Twitter Space on November 16, 2022.This conversation is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or investment advice.

In Episode 283 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Vance Spencer and Michael Anderson about the downfall of FTX, the political back-story behind Sam Bankman-Fried's legislative push to build a regulatory moat around his business empire, and the path forward for the crypto industry. As the crisis at FTX was unfolding, Vance received a call from none other than Sam Bankman-Fried. The two had never spoken before, but Vance had become recently critical of Sam's efforts to lobby Washington for regulation that many felt would benefit him and his companies at the expense of everyone else in the industry. The legislation that SBF was pushing for would be particularly detrimental to the ecosystem of crypto known as decentralized finance or “DeFi” for short. Cashing in on the tens of millions of dollars that he spent to curry favor with lawmakers, Fried spent his time behind the scenes persuading them to pass a bill known as the ‘Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act.' Sponsored by Senators Debbie Stabenow and John Boozman, the DCCPA would, according to some of its critics, make it impossible for open source developers to function within the U.S., limit access to decentralized financial products and applications for U.S. consumers, and create a regulatory monopoly for FTX in the United States. On their call Sam stated multiple times that if the DCCPA didn't go through the S.E.C. was going to come after everyone. It was going to come after the DeFi projects and it was going to come after some of Framework's own investments. Sam Bankman-Fried was explicit, telling Vance Spencer that Framework would be “materially harmed if they did not get on side.” This was apparently part of a larger narrative being pushed by Sam Bankman-Fried in the months leading up to his phone call with Spencer. It's what Ryan Selkis, founder of crypto market intelligence firm Messari, described in a recent tweet as a “committed contingent of crypto policy people that want you to know that the Big Bad Wolf of Gary Gensler is coming to get you if the DCCPA doesn't pass.” At the same time there were rumors circulating that regulators may have somehow been working on behalf of SBF. Specifically, US representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota tweeted out a few days ago that there were reports coming into to his office suggesting that the chairman of the SEC was “helping SBF and FTX work on legal loopholes to obtain a regulatory monopoly.”  To our knowledge, Tom Emmer has not put forward any evidence to support his claims and no one on this call—not Demetri, Michael, or Vance—is making that assertion. While the facts of this story are still coming together, what we have learned thus far gives credence to every bias and suspicion that most Americans have about their government and the corrupting influence of money in Washington. It's at the heart of everything that's gone wrong with our political system and it's a big part of why extremists on both the left and right of the political spectrum have gained the support of an increasingly radicalized electorate. Demetri's hope with this conversation, besides telling a newsworthy story, is to prevent the narrative from being hijacked and recast as the case of some rogue, evil genius that we can easily blame for a problem that is systemic in nature. Yes, Sam Bankman-Fried a bad dude, but our system rewards bad dudes. And too often it punishes good ones. We need to change that. If we want to see a positive change in our country—whether in crypto, finance, the media, or in the nation's capital—we have to work together to fix the problem. And we have to hold people accountable, including ourselves, because in a democracy there is no one else.

Today is a unique episode of the podcast – a two-interviews-in-one episode! As you already know, one of the big announcements from Graph Day 2022 was that Messari, an industry-leading market intelligence platform, would be joining The Graph ecosystem as the first-ever Core Subgraph Developer. And as you heard in a previous episode, I was fortunate enough to briefly interview Ryan Selkis, Founder and CEO at Messari, backstage at Graph Day. Today's episode will feature two interviews with members of the Messari team. First, we will hear from Ryan Selkis, who generously made himself available for another interview. During my discussion with Ryan, we have a high-level discussion of how the Core Subgraph Dev grant came together, what it means for Messari and The Graph, and we also discuss a range of other topics, including his advice for entrepreneurs, his vision for what happens next in web3, and an experience he when a well-intentioned tweet caught a lot of attention and went viral. Then I am pleased to welcome Vincent Wen, Engineering Manager for the on-chain data team at Messari. Vincent and his team are managing all the work going on related to the Core Subgraph Developer grant. And, as you will most certainly hear, Vincent is brilliant and has a keen eye for how The Graph creates value for developers and web3! Vincent and I talk about the nature of the grant work he and his team are contributing and how you can get involved, how Messari uses The Graph, and so much more! Show NotesThe GRTiQ Podcast takes listeners inside The Graph (GRT) by interviewing members of The Graph's community and ecosystem.  Please help support this project and build the community by subscribing and leaving a review.Twitter: GRT_iQwww.GRTiQ.com

Today's episode is a special edition of the GRTiQ Podcast, split into 2 parts.  The first part of the episode is a full-length interview recorded live on the main stage during Graph Hack on June 3, 2022. The two guests of the podcast are Yondon Fu, Co-Founder and Director of Engineering at Livepeer, and Sebastian Siemssen, Co-Founder and CTO at Enzyme Finance. Both Yondon and Sebastian are also members of The Graph Council. During our discussion, we explore a lot of interesting topics, including the state of dApp development, the Web3 stack, unexplored opportunities for dApp developers, and so much more! The second part of the episode consists of a handful of short interviews recorded backstage during Graph Day on June 2, 2022. During this part of the episode, you will hear from several former guests of the podcast, including Tegan Kline, Kyle Rojas, Cami Ramos Garzon, Chris Ewing, Eva Beylin, Derek Meyer (DataNexus), and Zac Burns. And I'm also pleased to include a brief interview backstage with the Founder and CEO of Messari, Ryan Selkis, where we talk about the exciting news announced during Graph Day that Messari will be joining the ecosystem as a Core Subgraph Developer. As you will hear during the live interview with Yondon and Sebastian, the sound crew had a few issues getting the recording started, but it's a temporary issue and only lasts during the first 4 minutes of the interview.

This event is sold out. We will take walk-ins at the door if room becomes available. Cryptocurrency. Decentralized finance. Nonfungible tokens. Once only experts on the cutting edge of financial services were familiar with these terms. Now, with the emergence of digital assets within the global financial system, crypto, DeFi, and NFTs are becoming part of the mainstream financial services lexicon. The rapidly emerging crypto ecosystem faces uncertainty within a regulatory regime designed for very different institutions and securities. In response, on March 9, 2022, President Biden issued an executive order, “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets,” which ordered agencies to submit policy recommendations based upon multiple principles such as: providing consumer protection, ensuring U.S. financial system stability, mitigating systemic financial risk, responsibly developing digital assets, and examining the creation of a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Supporters of increased financial regulation over cryptocurrency see this as a necessity to provide security essential to ensuring financial stability and consumer protection within the digital asset space. Others view these federal regulatory efforts as a threat to future opportunities for economic innovation. SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce and an expert panel including Jerry Brito, Ryan Selkis, C. Todd Phillips, moderated by J.W. Verret, will address current and future efforts at regulation of cryptocurrency and its implications for innovation, financial stability, and consumer protection.

In response, on March 9, 2022, President Biden issued an executive order, "Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets," which ordered agencies to submit policy recommendations based upon multiple principles such as: providing consumer protection, ensuring U.S. financial system stability, mitigating systemic financial risk, responsibly developing digital assets, and examining the creation of a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Supporters of increased financial regulation over cryptocurrency see this as a necessity to provide security essential to ensuring financial stability and consumer protection within the digital asset space. Others view these federal regulatory efforts as a threat to future opportunities for economic innovation.At a live Regulatory Transparency Project event, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce addressed current and future efforts at regulation of cryptocurrency and its implications for innovation, financial stability, and consumer protection. An expert panel including Jerry Brito, Ryan Selkis, Todd Phillips, and moderator by J.W. Verret then followed the Commissioner's remarks with a lively panel discussion.Featuring:- Hon. Hester M.

Last week, the @WhiteHouse released its long-anticipated Executive Order on cryptocurrencies, marking the first time this administration explicitly highlighted the need to preserve innovation and competitiveness in the US. This Executive Order lays out a process for multiple agencies to write a framework around digital assets. This episode is an overview of the Executive Order, outlining the implications, pertinent sections, and reactions from thought leaders in the cryptolaw space. Here are links where you can read the full Executive Order and Fact-Sheet. Jake Chervinsky's (@jchervinsky) article on stablecoins. Highly recommend following Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot), Congressman Tom Emmer (@RepTomEmmer) and Jerry Brito (@jerrybrito), whose insightful comments were mentioned throughout this episode. This "solo-pod" is my attempt to add value to the space by highlighting ongoing blockchain regulation across the world - with a focus on the legal implications. It's a work in progress and can only get better (right??). Would appreciate any feedback on this format @JacobRobinsonJD or by leaving a review. If you have suggestions for topics of future solo-pods, I'd love to hear that as well!

Ryan Selkis is one of the most outspoken advocates for the core beliefs of self-determination and stewardship that define the cryptocurrency movement. The co-founder of Messari, a digital asset data and analytics firm, Selkis is unafraid to take on regulators and politicians whom he views as being anti-crypto, such as Securities and Exchange Commissioner Gary Gensler and Senator Elizabeth Warren. We talk about his early days when sports took over his life, his time as the night janitor at his college basketball arena, how the financial crisis affected his plans to work for JPMorgan and what it was like to help Coindesk get on the right track. He also reiterates his sharp criticism of Gensler and Congressional inaction with regard to crypto regulation.

Abra CEO Bill Barhydt sits down with the King of crypto charts, Ryan Selkis to reveal the major forces moving crypto markets. Then Abra Bitcoin Analyst, Natalie Brunell breaks down the BTC bounce. Plus, Bill's deep dive into what's going on right now, and what might be coming next. 

Location: New York Date: Tuesday 6th December Company: Messari Role: Founder & CEO Bitcoin's architecture uses decentralisation to achieve censorship-resistance and permissionless access to a revolutionary monetary protocol. And despite thousands of altcoins that claimed to be better or faster over the years, Bitcoin reigns as the non-sovereign store of value in the digital world. However, what is not yet clear is if the wider world of ‘crypto' can achieve similarly permissionless innovation outside of money, or if they are instead ‘decentralised in name only'. Can these protocols resist influence by powerful actors? What is ‘enough' decentralisation? Will the fundraising-via-token model survive the SEC? Will they adapt to increasing pressure? Is there real innovation, or is it all just a house of cards of venture capital and marketing? Many questions remain. As Bitcoiners it is important to engage those with broader outlooks, even if we have seemingly incompatible ideologies.  The battle of ideas involves free, open, and respectful discussion. In this interview, I talk to the founder and CEO of the research and data firm Messari, Ryan Selkis. We discuss Messari's industry-leading opus on the state of the ecosystem, Bitcoin and gold, regulation, both sides of the Web3 debate and the differentiation of Bitcoin and ‘crypto'.

Hey,In recent months, lots of high profile personalities have announced plans to get paid in crypto. The Mayors of New York and Miami joined athletes like Aaron Rodgers and Odell Beckham; and artists like 50 Cent and Mel B to get partially or fully paid in crypto. Coinbase recently partnered with UnitedMasters to let musicians receive their royalties in crypto. But is this just a gimmick for the rich? What are regular Joe and Jane doing? I’m conducting a survey to understand attitudes towards getting paid in crypto. It took me less than 1 minute to it fill out. Please let your voice be heard here! It’s anonymous. I’ll share the results with you. Besides getting paid in crypto, one could also receive crypto rewards for everyday purchases. I’ve been using the Fold card to earn bitcoin rewards for a couple months. I’ll share some of my thoughts below….and of course I’ll touch on some of the recent news developments in crypto: such as Chainlink, metaverse, Novi and regulations. Let’s go!Fold review: Bitcoin rewards card 💳Why Fold?When we got married, we paid for our honeymoon and flights to Hawaii with credit card loyalty points. We had an amazing time! But it was even sweeter knowing that we did not use cash for our luxury getaway. The Fold card presents the same allure. The opportunity to build a bitcoin stash without changing behavior was too good to pass up. How did it go?Fold started out enabling users to earn rewards by buying gift cards. Next, they graduated to offering a debit card with bitcoin buy back on all purchases.Phase 1: Gift cardsI earned 1% bitcoin rewards when I bought Amazon gift cards using Fold. I started buying $100 gift cards and pre-loading my Amazon account. I would spend cash from the gift card on my protein powder or a gift. I’m not a huge shopper but it felt pretty easy to score some free bitcoin. Bitcoin rewards: $100 Amazon gift card x 1% = $1 rewards = 0.00002 BTC rewards (assuming 1BTC = $50,000, 1% rewards for using a credit card)Yeah, the rewards are NOT huge. But I suppose they could add up if you shop a lot. Fold also has gift cards with varying bitcoin rewards from a variety of retailers like Chipotle, Banana Republic and Southwest Airlines. But you have to read the fine print - rewards might be capped at 1% if you are purchasing the gift card with a debit/credit card. Either way, might as well get free from bitcoin while you get your holiday shopping done. Additionally, Fold has an app where you can spin the wheel and potentially turbocharge your rewards or when 1 whole bitcoin! I haven’t won a bitcoin yet but I’ll continue spinning lol. Phase 2: Debit cardEarlier this year, Fold launched a debit card. I got the basic one. I figured I could earn more bitcoin from everyday transactions like going to a local coffee shop or my gym membership. Unfortunately, the card has been a disappointment. Yes, I routinely use it at my local coffee shop and my barber but it’s NOT accepted everywhere. Much to my annoyance, I have been unable to directly pay my gym membership, powerlifting coach or CashApp friends with my Fold card. I have had to develop workaround solutions to pay my coach like PayPal but PayPal charges a ~3% fee on the Fold card which is greater than the bitcoin rewards cash back. I imagine these are growing pains and will eventually be fixed. Right now, it’s incredibly annoying to have a transaction declined or be forced to pay higher fees. VerdictI still use my Fold card for a couple transactions every month. So far, I’ve racked up over $40 worth of bitcoin rewards. Nothing to get to terribly excited about. That said, I have seen folks on Twitter who have won 1 bitcoin from spinning the wheel in the Fold app. I’ve also seen people stack serious sats by putting most of their regular expenses like rent, groceries and airline tickets on their Fold card. To be honest, I could ratchet it up a notch or three. Exhibit A: My biggest recommendation to Fold is to address the pain points around payment acceptance and fees ex PayPal. What’s been your experience?NEWS1. Crypto goes to Congress👩‍⚖️CEOs of 6 crypto companies testified in front of the US House Committee on Financial Services and received encouragement from both Democrats and Republican representatives. The crypto executives provided some context on the potential and opportunities of cryptocurrencies and blockchain solutions to lower costs and drive greater inclusion. They also pleaded for more well thought out regulation to support the industry’s growth. This tone marked a departure from several years ago. Hopefully, there will be more in the future. I would like bipartisan support for crypto. 2. ChainLink: Attracting top talent 📈ChainLink connects real world data to on-chain smart contracts. So for example, a farmer in Kansas could get crop insurance with payouts triggered by weather events ex tornado. All of this could be executed with code NOT people enabled by ChainLinkThe 4-year old company has secured partnerships with a number of major players include AWS, Google, Oracle etc. Now, ChainLink Labs is attracting more big name talent: (1) Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, joined ChainLink as a strategic advisor (2) Mike Derezin, former VP of LinkedIn, joined ChainLink as COO. I think ChainLink is well positioned to help bring the promise of smart contracts alive for everyday use cases. It’s definitely on my radar. 3. WhatsApp testing stablecoin payments in the US 💬⚡️This is big. WhatsApp has over 2 billion monthly active users worldwide. Most of my family - scattered across Africa, Europe and North America - are daily users of WhatsApp. They may not understand crypto or stablecoins but they will eagerly use WhatsApp Pay. And more. I can see payments to merchants, lending, and so on. The question is, can Novi deliver on this promise? Last week, David Marcus, the head of Novi, announced he was leaving. Novi has suffered a string of high profile departures. From the outside looking in, it feels like a shadow of it’s former self.4. Bill Gates’ bullish on metaverse 🚀“People overestimate what can be done in one year, and underestimate what can be done in ten“. That said, I think Bill Gates is wrong here. But I also don’t know if he literally meant that MOST office meetings will switch over to the metaverse. I wonder if he was trying to make a clear statement: the metaverse is here to stay and is coming for Main Street USA. Now that’s a message I could get behind. 5.
