Abdul Osman is the founder and CEO of Goracle - a Decentralized Oracle Network built on the Algorand blockchain. With the new cross-chain compatibility feature, Goracle can import data from Ethereum and other blockchains, opening up new use cases. Why you should listen Goracle is a decentralized blockchain oracle solution built on the Algorand blockchain. It provides a secure and reliable way for smart contracts on the Algorand blockchain to access off-chain data. With the new cross-chain compatibility feature, Goracle can import data from Ethereum and other blockchains, opening up new use cases and opportunities for developers. Goracle is in Testnet and plans to launch to Mainnet this month. Goracle's features enable Algorand to act as a settlement layer for other blockchains, providing seamless access to data on other chains and facilitating cross-chain liquidity. This feature will enable developers to build a wide range of applications without building their own centralized oracles. For example, developers can now build DeFi apps that allow users to trade assets across multiple blockchains. Other use cases for cross-chain applications include supply chain management, gaming, and asset management. For example, developers can build applications that track the movement of goods across different blockchains, verify the ownership of virtual assets in games, or manage a portfolio of assets across different blockchains. Goracle is conducting an IDO for their $GORA token on June 28 via Tokensoft.   Supporting links Bitget VIP Link Goracle $GORA IDO Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.  

Mason Borda is the CEO of Tokensoft a software platform that automates fundraising and investor management on the blockchain to allow projects to compliantly launch and raise capital. 

“Why do I take risks? I think I just get into different rabbit holes, and I just get really interested and I just start going down that path and just do what's interesting to me, what's exciting, and that's sort of how I landed in the crypto space.”If you want to know what the price of Bitcoin is going to be in five years, don't miss this incredibly special episode with Mason Borda that was recorded live on Clubhouse. It was so good, we couldn't not share it with Halo Drop listeners!“In five years? Well, it seems to go up about 10X every three years. So I'll just extrapolate that out. And so in five years, it will probably be, I don't know. $500 600k ish, maybe.”Mason began his career at technology companies such as Boeing, SSL and Broadcom before entering the digital asset space in 2013, designing and building the infrastructure for dollar based blockchain. In 2014, he co-founded payroll automation company, Payroll Integrations, whose clients today compromise 14% of the US 401k market. In 2016, he built the first commercially viable custody solution on ethereum blockchain. And now, as CEO of Tokensoft, Mason guides the team in business strategy, business development and market planning. “Master how to build things really quickly, get them to market, if you can, just get them out there and launch them as a product. Maybe get them in the news, get people talking about it, then you can actually see if they get traction or they don't get traction. Latch on to the things that do get traction. That [is] how to start a startup.”From taking risks, to starting a startup, how crypto works, the fundamental concepts of blockchain, wrapped assets, even buying a Tesla with bitcoin, this is an unmissable deep dive into the world of crypto for anyone seeking to use digital assets as a growth strategy. On today's podcast: Entering the crypto space How to start a startup How crypto works The fundamental concepts of blockchain Buying a Tesla with bitcoin Security tokens Links:Buying Tesla with bitcoinHosts TwitterVishal - https://twitter.com/vgurbuxaniKrishna - https://twitter.com/ksub15Sunil - http://twitter.com/vermasunShow SocialTwitter https://twitter.com/halodropfm

Security tokens have at times, been heralded as the next major phase of crypto adoption. Despite the surrounding hype, security tokens don’t have any actual trading volume to speak of. In this conversation, Tokensoft CEO Mason Borda discusses the hurdles that still remain for adoption and outlines the bullish case for security tokens over the next few years. Conservatively, he estimates that we could see $10M in security tokens trading hands each day by year end and that once the industry gets moving, it can scale quickly from there.  --- Special thanks to our sponsors: Lukka - Crypto taxes made simple.

I had the chance to interview one of the greatest crypto artists of all time, Cryptograffiti. We discussed his latest work and what motivates him in the space. You can find his work at: https://cryptograffiti.com Twitter: @cryptograffiti cryptograffiti has been creating cryptocurrency-related art since 2012. His work is dedicated to spreading the crypto movement. cryptograffiti was the first to explore how cryptocurrencies could benefit artists through alternative revenue channels. In one such experiment, he juxtaposed a public-facing wallet with street art allowing passersby to send bitcoin in support of the pieces. cryptograffiti’s current work repurposes materials from industries being disrupted by the blockchain. These materials will shortly become scarce even though the monetary systems from which they were derived are not. By incorporating these soon-to-be extinct artifacts in his work, he teaches others about the advantages of cryptocurrencies vs the status quo banking sector. Looking forward, he is excited at how blockchain technology will transform the art world and to play a role in leading this new direction. cryptograffiti’s work has been featured in Bloomberg, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, International Business Times, VICE, CNNMoney, Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk, Art Daily, World Crypto Network, Bitcoin.com, CoinJournal, CryptoCoinsNews, CoinTelegraph, Bitcoinist, Inside Bitcoins, Free Talk Live, The Tatiana Show, SF Weekly and other media outlets. He has exhibited at Satoshi Roundtable, CoinDesk Consensus, CoinDesk Construct, LaBitConf, Coin Center's Annual Dinner, The d10e Conference, Digital Garage’s New Context Conference, Distributed, The Blockchain Supper Club, BlockCon, Proof of Art, and Blockchain for Good. His work is in the collections of Blockstream, Ledger, Blockchain Capital, Kraken, Pantera Capital, Shapeshift, Binary Financial, Digital Currency Group, Wachsman PR, Ribbit Capital, Xapo, eToro, The Montreal Bitcoin Embassy, TokenSoft, Jesse Powell, Wences Casares, Matthew Roszak, Brock Pierce, Erik Voorhees, Dan Morehead, WhalePanda, Brad & Bart Stephens, Jill Carlson, Marc Andreessen, Matt Corallo, Brian Hoffman, Charlie Shrem, Mike Novogratz, Linda Xie, Samson Mow, Francis Pouliot, Ted Rogers, Jason King, Marshall Hayner, and other notable figures within the space.

Lawson Baker, head of operations and general counsel at TokenSoft (disclosure: a previous sponsor of the podcast), explains the significance of this week's SEC statement on broker-dealer custody if digital asset securities, what issues it outlines, what problems remain to be resolved, what impact it could have on the overall industry — and why this, and other regulatory guidance, could push the industry in a more cypherpunk direction. Plus, we discuss Blockstack's Reg A+ initial coin offering, which was finally approved by the SEC, whether it's too onerous for startups and how this will affect the initial coin offering phenomenon. And finally, we talk about what we'll be watching out for in next week's Senate and House hearings on Facebook's Libra, and what the odds are that the regulators quash the project.

In a fireside chat I moderated with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce held by the Blockchain Digital Asset Forum, in conjunction with the NYU Stern Executive MBA program, on March 26, 2019, she explained where her reputation as 'Crypto Mom' comes from — a desire to look at the world with fresh eyes and say, are there things we can do things better? We also discussed a Bitcoin ETF and the prospects for one after Bitwise released a report showing a health legitimate market, as well as initial coin offerings and what will happen to the hundreds of ICO issuers that had initial coin offerings that look much like the ICOs that have already had enforcement actions against them. She described the process that occurs when something like an application for a Bitcoin ETF is submitted to the SEC, whether or not there's a lot of disagreement amongst the commissioners about how to regulate crypto, how much they work to persuade each other to come over to their side and whether Chairman Jay Clayton's opinion overrules everyone else's or whether majority rules. Plus, we covered dexes, stablecoins and security tokens.

Jalak Jobanputra, founder and managing partner of Future Perfect Ventures, talks about how, in 2014, her experience as an investment bank and VC, her global background, and her observation that new streams of data were becoming available led her to launch her first fund, which ended up being 70% invested in blockchain. She describes what it was like selling LPs on the nascent technology in 2014, how her latest fund, which will be more than $50 million, is different and how it's drawing LPs who thought they could make money through liquid hedge funds invested in tokens. She talks about why she thinks early-stage technologies can't be IPO'ed -- and why FPV shied away from ICOs -- but why her second fund is capable of investing in tokens. She also explains how the space is still lacking in early-stage VCs with knowledge of the blockchain sector, why New York launched the New York Blockchain Center and whether crypto is becoming more diverse.

Jeremy Welch of personal key security system Casa describes the company's various services and products, including its $10,000-a-year premium service for HODLers of at least $500,000 worth of cryptocurrency and the Casa node. He explains how he came to start Casa, why using seed phrases for managing security of crypto hardware devices is so problematic, and how customers should set up the keys in their possession for the company's multi-signature solution, in which any transaction requires the use of three of five keys. We go on at length at about potential ways in which an attacker could still force a target, say, at gunpoint, to move money to the hacker's wallet. We also discuss why the company doesn't offer a multi-sig solution for ether, why people choose to run Casa's Bitcoin/Lightning node and where people are using Lightning.

He describes how the current version of "single-collateral" Dai, is backed by ether, how Dai is created with a collateralized debt position and what happens when the value of the collateral falls too low. He also talks about the roles of various players in the system, such as keepers, oracles and MKR token holders. We also cover how the system handles black swan events or other emergencies. The MakerDAO system is so complex, however, that we will reconvene for a part 2 to describe the rest of the system and how a multi-collateral Dai will function. Thank you to our sponsors!

Gemini's Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who serve as chief executive and president, respectively, discuss their new ad campaign -- what they mean when they say crypto needs rules, why they agree in certain respects with some of their critics, and what the general reaction has been. They discuss why they launched a stablecoin, why they chose the stablecoin structure of dollar reserves and GUSD's role in an arbitrage involving a Chinese exchange and a competing stablecoin. They also explain how they intend to make a Bitcoin ETF a reality, what they think of SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce's dissent and what they intend for the Virtual Commodity Association. Plus, the brothers talk about why their goal is to be "the fastest tortoise in the race." Thank you to our sponsors!

In this wide-ranging episode, Eric Meltzer and Dovey Wan of Primitive Ventures describe how Asia is weathering the crypto downturn: how have the low prices affected miners, how has this affected Bitmain's prospects for an IPO and how, despite a ban on crypto exchanges, Chinese crypto users have been trading. We also discuss more broadly how crypto projects and startups differ between China and the U.S., how crypto is upending Silicon Valley's dominance, and how differences in regulation are affecting entrepreneurship in the space. Plus, Eric and Dovey address whether or not the surveillance state is motivating Chinese interest in crypto. Thank you to our sponsors!

Hey, this is Clay and I am pleased to announce that Nomics has raised a Series A round venture capital financing. Leading the round is Arthur Ventures, and also participating are Coinbase Ventures, Digital Currency Group, TokenSoft, Ben Davenport, who is the co-founder and former CTO of BitGo, CoVenture Crypto, CityBlock Capital, [00:00:30] King Capital, and some other friends and family, who participated in the round. We're excited to partner with all of them. I can tell you a little bit about how this came together. A few months ago, I started looking at companies that I really, really respected, in terms of the products that they had created, but also [00:01:00] how lean the companies ran. A few companies in that category include Zapier, Clearbit, SendGrid, folks like that. I looked at the size of their series A funding. Zapier and Clearbit, I believe, had only done one round of VC financing and or seed rounds, and never had to raise [00:01:30] money again. I believe that's true of Clearbit. I know that's true of Zapier. SendGrid, of course, went on to become public. I think they're being sold to [Tulio 00:01:40] right now, but I looked at the average series A size. I saw a lot of constraint, and pragmaticism around the raise. I think we were aiming for that as well. At my last company, we raised 38 million in ventures capital. [00:02:00] So I've done the thing where we raise a lot. Over time, I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of constraints, and just really being reasonable about these things, especially after the euphoria of the 2017 bull market and crypto. We're excited about this. I think I was saying this earlier. [00:02:30] How this got started was I approached Patrick Meenan at Arthur Ventures. Again, they're our lead investor. I told him we were going to raise, and that I wanted to pitch him first before we went to anyone else, really. I went to Patrick and pitched him. Basically said, essentially, "Here's what we're thinking, in terms of valuation. I'd like to have you specifically [00:03:00] on the board. I'd like Arthur Ventures specifically to be the lead investor, if you guys are down for this. If you're not, no problem. We'll go to the coast or maybe we'll look here internally, but we really, really want this to be you." The backstory there is I served on the board of Leadpages, and I'm still on board of Leadpages with Patrick for around five years. I knew that we were aligned. [00:03:30] The philosophy here is that I've seen a lot of VCs claim to do value-added things. I think in some cases it's possible, and it can happen, but that narrative has really been blown up around VCs doing intros, and helping you hire, and doing marketing stuff for you or in some cases, building software. I just, I think it's really [00:04:00] hard to actually realize that value in a lot of cases. I heard it was a famous Israeli VC talking about how when he first got started in crypto, he tried to do everything to help his portfolio companies. What he realized over time was that the companies that were going to make it, and that did make it, and that offered the biggest return or provided the biggest return didn't really need his help at all. [00:04:30] It was the companies that probably where the investment would go to zero or something similar, that ate up all his time. He got to the point where when he made an investment, he would just give the founder or whoever was leading the raise his card, and say, "Here's my number. You can call it. I probably won't answer, but just think of this as a money-only arrangement." [00:05:00] I actually think there's a lot of value in that.

Mason talks about what it takes to do a token offering, also known as an ICO. Dealing with wallets, regulation and exchanges are discussed.

On this episode of BlockChannel, McKie, Erica, and Dee sit down (literally) with Mason Borda of TokenSoft. TokenSoft is a compliance-focused, white-label platform that assists companies/engineers bring their ICO to fruition in a legally compliant manner. As we’ve see the recent crackdown from regulators on ICOs in many jurisdictions, we’ve reached a point where you have to do things by the book (especially if you’re raising pre-functionality of your protocol/ecosystem). Mason is one of the individuals helping to write that figurative book, so we got him on the show to tell us what he’s been building while dropping some compliance knowledge on us. If you’re thinking about ICOing, make sure you check this out first to get a lay of the land on what’s presently permissible legally before you begin.
