In a bid to fight the 40-year high US inflation, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday. The decision, which was unanimous, took the target range for the benchmark federal funds rate from 3% to 3.25% - the highest level since before the 2008 financial crisis, and up from near zero at the start of this year.  After the third straight big rate hike, the hawkish US Fed signaled to reach 4.6% by 2023 until inflation retreated to 2% objective.  As the US Fed signaled additional monetary tightening down the path, the 10-year US Treasury yields jumped to a 15-year high of 4.1%.  US dollar index also raced to hit a fresh 20-year high of 111.4.  Moreover, even though gold is regarded as a hedge against inflation, rate hikes usually raise the cost of owning bullion, which pays no interest.   On MCX, prices of spot gold have fallen 8% from March peak to 49,491 rupees per 10 grams.  Globally, too, prices of spot gold have trimmed 18% to 1,664 dollars per ounce from over 2,000 dollars per ounce recorded in March.  Analysts believe that the demand for a safe-haven asset is shifting to bonds as yields climb to decade-high.  Going ahead, the pressure is likely to continue on the yellow metal until inflation peaks out. Dilip Parmar, Research Analyst at HDFC Securities says, gold vulnerable until inflation peaks out. Support: $1,650, Resistance: $1,732. Weaker rupee, demand to limit downside. MCX Gold on a bearish side until it breaks Rs 52,500/10 gm.  Further, analysts also believe that though dollar appreciation would put pressure on gold prices globally, rupee's depreciation may spark interest in domestic gold. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services says gold and dollar value inversely related. He is bearish on gold in the short-term, but believes rupee fall may spark gold value. That said, according to the World Gold Council, an outright recessionary environment or stagflation could offset pressure from the yellow metal. Further, it also expects increased trading volumes amid a pick-up in consumer demand to support the metal in the near-term. As regards today, FII flows, rupee movement and crude oil prices will continue to guide domestic markets.  Besides, investors will also closely track the UK and Euro zone's factory and services data.

David Waldman, still humming shanties from yesterday, shares Tuesday's news booty: The Queen is dead, long live the Queen. Aren't we just about out of royal media to consume? Arise, Sir Guy of Former, King of QAnon, Orange Jesus, humble goat herder. The Guardian asks, did Trump really hide classified documents in his former wife's grave? Or is the left now as bonkers as the right? Well, given only those two choices, a sane person might expect Donald's usual MO. Trump's present lawyers aren't crazy. Team Trump knows where the Mar-a-Lago search will lead, they just want it to get there later, once their client has passed away and the estate pays them, a goal of many attorneys. Judge Raymond Dearie taking over as special master might only buy them just a few weeks, however, so it's up to cheeseburgers to make everybody happy. The Guardian should check out the story of the man not competent to stand trial who forged US Treasury documents that eventually made it onto the Florida docket on the Mar-a-Lago case. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar announced a probe into Ron DeSantis' ongoing migrant scams. Venezuelans have had it worse, but probably didn't expect this treatment. Judd Legum revealed evidence that DeSantis committed a crime. Ron DeSantis could comment, but that would interrupt his fundraising.  Liz Cheney and Zoe Lofgren are overhauling the Electoral Count Act to help prevent election overthrows. It may help, but it won't stop Republicans from trying. Joan McCarter tells us disasters might alter, but Republicans can't stop, the upcoming government funding bill. No one is undecided on codifying same-sex marriage, but bipartisan efforts lead by Chuck Schumer and Susan Collins have delayed the vote.

The United States Treasury market is supposed to be the most liquid in the world. The Treasury is supposed to be the most stable financial instrument available around the globe. Yet the next black swan event could very easily be the US Treasury going, no bid. Liquidity in the bond market could dry up so severely that there are no more buyers at any price for United States Treasuries.

In Episode 2, Dustin and Jeff discuss the recent Ethereum Merge, the current rise in mortgage rates, a review of the markets, the challenges facing Social Security, and how the yield on the 30-year US Treasury affects Social Security funding.The opinions voiced in this live stream are for general information only and are not intended to provide specific advise or recommendations for any individual.  To determine which investment(s) may be appropriate for you, consult with your attorney, accountant, financial advisor, or tax advisor prior to investing.Advisory services offered through Presidio Capital Management LLC, Registered Investment Advisors.  A diversified portfolio does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.  There are no guarantees any investment or strategy will meet it's intended objective.  Performance illustrated is not indicative of future results.

I-Bonds continue to offer a great deal here, especially while the CPI remains so elevated. They currently accrue interest at 9.62%. That's exempt from state & local taxes. Plus your principal is guaranteed by the US Treasury. Who wouldn't want a risk-free high return like this, particularly in today's shaky markets? The knock on I-bonds is the $10,000 per calendar year purchase limit, But there's a little understood strategy that allows you to buy much more than that -- right now. To find out how to put up to $150k (or more) into I-bonds for the coming year watch this new video. https://youtu.be/nQUfCcXRNts

With Turkish Russian trade booming since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna's visit to Turkey this week focused on efforts to further isolate Moscow. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu welcomed Colonna. But behind the diplomatic pleasantries, there are growing concerns in the EU over Ankara's refusal to enforce western sanctions against Moscow. At a joint press conference with Cavusoglu, Colonna stressed the importance of unity in standing up to Russian aggression. "The European Union and other partner and allied countries have the same objective: to limit the renewal of the Russian war effort and to make Russia understand that it has chosen a dead end," said Colonna. "In this context, it is important that as many countries as possible send the same message." Deep financial ties Russian-Turkish trade has surged to record levels since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict. Bilateral trade with European countries, which had strong trading ties with Russia, has spiked fuelling suspicions that Turkey is becoming a backdoor to circumvent sanctions. Turkish-Russian financial ties deepened further, with Moscow depositing five billion dollars in Turkey, ostensibly to aid a Russian company's construction of a nuclear power station in Turkey. A further 10 billion dollars is reportedly expected in the next few weeks. The infusion of hard currency is a welcome boost for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose 2023 campaign for reelection is dogged by a plunging lira and inflation running at nearly 80 percent. "By helping Russia get around sanctions, Turkey can earn key balance of payments receipts, and that will help support the lira, write down inflation and help Erdogan win the elections," explained Timothy Ash, a senior strategist with Bluebay Asset Management. 'Black knight' To safeguard his close ties with Vladimir Putin, Erdogan has resisted calls from his western allies to enforce sanctions against Russia. Last month at the Black Sea resort of Sochi, the two leaders discussed further developing trade ties. Turkey has doubled Russian oil imports since this year's assault on Ukraine. Russian oligarchs continue to moor their yachts in Turkish marinas, knowing that Turkish authorities won't attempt to seize them. "Turkey has de facto become a black knight. In academic literature, that means a state that is willing to help a sanctioned country, at least to mitigate sanctions," said Maria Shagina, a specialist on international sanctions at the Institute for Strategic Studies.  "And this is where Russia sees Turkey in that light, that it can come in handy in terms of developing its economic ties against the background of Western companies fleeing the country," added Shagina. Grain deal Turkey and the United Nations have brokered a deal to export Ukrainian grain to world markets, and those export operations are based in Istanbul. Erdogan claims credit for the agreement, saying it was possible only because of his close ties with Putin, relations which analysts suggest are set to deepen. Turkey's Erdogan due in Russia to 'sound out' Putin on Ukraine and Syria "The current Turkish Russian relations have definite bonds with the current war in Ukraine. Ukraine wheat exports is a new chapter for the region, and Turkey plays a quite significant role as an intermediary," said Russia Turkey expert Zaur Gasimov of Bonn University. "And also close military cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey and the aspect of Turkey not joining the anti-Russian sanctions, all that results in dynamics of importance for Moscow and for Ankara," said Gasimov. Ukraine drone sales Erdogan routinely points out that along with close ties with Putin, Turkish firms continue to sell military drones to Ukraine, weapons which are proving effective against Russian forces. But this balancing act between Ukraine and Russia raises questions about where the Turkish leader's loyalties lie. In a move interpreted as further stoking questions over Erdogan's loyalties, Putin invited the Turkish leader to this month's meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a Chinese-Russian-led, Eurasian security grouping. Turkey lays the ground for a smoothing of relations with Syria Galip Dalay, a Russia Turkey expert at the London-based Chatham House, says Putin's invitation and regular meetings with Erdogan are part of a broader Russian strategy. "Putin's telling the international community, 'actually I am not as isolated as the West wants or portrays me to be'," said Dalay. "So, the symbolism of these meetings, including Erdogan potentially joining the Shanghai Cooperation meeting in Uzbekistan, the symbolism is more important than the substance." High technology Analysts warn that Putin may seek to further leverage Erdogan's relationship and growing financial dependency on Russia to circumvent Western technology sanctions, putting Ankara on a collision course with its allies. "To me, the game-breaker is high technology," warned Atilla Yesilada of Global Source Partners, "If I understand it correctly, both in a civilian area and in a military area, Russia is denied high technology that is really hitting their supply lines. "If Turkish companies are used to import proscribed items to reexport to Russia, that will blow the game open, and Turkey will be sanctioned," added Yesilada. In a sign that Turkey's western allies are losing patience, the US Treasury sent a letter to Turkey this month bluntly warning Turkish businesses of the financial dangers of trading with sanctioned Russian companies. With Turkey's economy in a weak state, sanctions could trigger a devastating economic crisis. At the same time, analysts say Erdogan is placing his bets on Russia in the hope that Russian trade and support will revitalise his nation's economy ahead of next year's elections.

THE THESIS: There is something about Donald Trump that terrifies The Party and it's not what they claim. It's not fear of office holders questioning elections, the Democrats have done that for 25 years. It's not the supposed corruption, Joe Biden is the most compromised and corrupt president in history and comes from the Democrats, home of corrupt people like Pelosi. It's not “agitating for violence” as The Party claims Trump did on January 6th. Once again, the Democrats spent four years cheering for Black Lives Matter, Inc. and Antifa to destroy American cities. It's not mean tweets, just spend some time reading Eric Sallwell or AOC. No, The Party fears Donald Trump because he made the incredible move of doing that which is not to be done; he kept his campaign promises and went after their gravy train. But, that we way beck when . . . why do they fear him so deeply today? Because Donald Trump has unfinished business.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  God Uses Broken Vessels (Exodus 5-6) THE NEWS & COMMENT: The Party LAUGHED and giggled at President Trump when he warned them that Germany was far too dependent on Russia for energy. They laughed because, failing to stop him from being elected, The Party tried to cast President Trump as their buffoon. Funny thing about that . . .   Russia says it will not resume natural-gas flows via a key pipeline to Europe until the 'collective West' lifts sanctions against the country “The BIG LIE” screams MSNBC, CNN and former conservative talk show hosts. “UNPRECEDENTED!” No, it's not even uncommon for politicians to claim elections were stolen. Maybe the problem with Trump saying it is that so many people believe him . . .  [AUDIO] - Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Spokeslair: "Election deniers are a threat to democracy & are all insurrectionists" Peter Doocy: "You tweeted in 2016 that Trump stole the election." KJP: *panic, sweating*  "...um...thats different, ok?" Sadly, the January 6th affair was not the only scene of violence at the Capital or White House in the past few years--Color Revolutions seeks to cause this, ‘dontcaha know'?--so, it's not the violence that occured on January 6th, including the likely murder of two women by cops . . .  [AUDIO] - May 30, 2020: “Tensions flared near the White House. Not sure what triggered it, all I saw was a blast of pepper spray and a sudden sprint backward. There's a lot more pressure on the police cordon and they're pulling out gas masks.” - Alejandro Alvarez  . . . There were ~60 or more Secret Service agents wounded and 11 were hospitalized. Funny thing, though, there were no pretrial detentions or prison sentences of 5-10 years by the Bill Barr and the so-called DO”J” No, something else has caused The Party to continue to panic about Donald Trump and they are getting sloppy.  FBI Seized 40 Years-Worth Of Trump's Medical Records From Mar-A-Lago: Report Trump medical records, tax documents seized in FBI raid: judge; Judge Aileen M. Cannon reveals FBI seized medical docs and correspondence related to Trump's taxes and accounting information Did I say “sloppy?” Look at the fine print in Judge Cannon's ruling in support of a Special Master to act as a referee between the corrupt FBI and President Trump:  Why is the Figurehead directing what happens to Trump's records? The good member of The Party recused himself in a case between Hillary Clinton and Trump. Why didn't he do that again, here? Pink Floyd has a clue . . .  U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart has a clear judicial bias against President Trump. Reinhart violated the U.S. Code & judicial canons by ordering the unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful Trump home raid, with his clear bias. The Party cannot possibly be bothered by what they see as Trump's corruption. One need read no more than ten minutes into Hunter Biden's “work” on behalf of The Big Guy to understand the incredible corruption of these two.  Smoking Gun: Newly Discovered Emails Confirm Joe Biden Obstructed Justice For His Son's Foreign Business Deal “We need more information about these transactions.” -- @USTreasury has refused Rep. @JamesComer's request for records of Biden family financial activity flagged as suspicious. At least 150 international transactions were flagged by US banks, a report said. MUSIC REVIEW: Pink Floyd has a great song about the record business. It also applies to politics in this era.

Managing Partner of Stillmark, Alyse Killeen, joins us to discuss investing in bitcoin companies. She explains why Stillmark invests in "bitcoin only" companies, what she looks for in bitcoin startups and how venture capital in the bitcoin industry differs from traditional markets. She and Saifedean also discuss how bitcoin investing is long-term focused whereas token VCs have a new short-term model taking advantage of clueless retail with false narratives. Alyse explains how this long-term focus protects bitcoin VCs from short-term volatility, such as the recent spate of high-profile failures in the altcoin space. In the Q&A, Alyse answers questions on industry trends, the mindset of bitcoin founders and bitcoin adoption in El Salvador.ReferencesAlyse on Twitter.Stillmark official website.Lightning Labs explainer on Taro.Article about the sanctioning of Tordano Cash by the US Treasury.Paolo Ardoino appearance on The Bitcoin Standard Podcast.Saifedean's first book, The Bitcoin Standard.Saifedean's second book, The Fiat Standard.Enjoyed this episode?

I said on the previous episode that it was for Bitcoin but I want to be clear that it was being used for Ethereum mixing. Essentially the system worked using smart contracts to send and receive ethereum. When you deposit your funds, it issues a receipt to withdraw the same amount. It breaks the chain of ownership or anonymize your funds by breaking the connection to the original wallet. So because the US Treasury has sanctioned the use of Tornado Cash then anyone who has received any ethereum could be sanctioned. But Tornado Cash is still functioning because it runs on the block-chain and is accessible via IPFS network. IPFS is a peer-to-peer (p2p) storage network. Content is accessible through peers located anywhere in the world, that might relay information, store it, or do both. IPFS knows how to find what you ask for using its content address rather than its location. These three principles build upon each other to enable the IPFS ecosystem. Let's start with content addressing and the unique identification of content.

Andrew Hinkes, partner at K&L Gates and adjunct professor at NYU, and Martin Koeppelman, co-founder of Gnosis, talk about the sanctions on Tornado Cash, how they will impact Ethereum on the base layer, and the likelihood of having two chains.    Show highlights: the legal meaning of the OFAC sanctions on Tornado Cash and why it is causing complications how legislation is built for the fiat world, and how in DeFi and crypto there's no clarity  how miners have changed their behavior prior to the Merge whether a proof of work chain or a proof of stake chain would be more censorship resistant whether laws apply to validators in a PoS chain the ways in which the government could provide more clarification  the different entities involved in Proof of Stake the liabilities for each entity in PoS and what secondary liability is how the task of the bidder can be described as a mathematical optimization problem whether Lido is exposed to US regulations how long would it take for a large staker like Coinbase to stop being a validator how a user-activated soft fork works and the conditions in which a fork could happen whether social slashing is enforceable considering it is not in the protocol the likelihood of Ethereum becoming a permissioned system the role of Flashbots' relay code and what it means for Ethereum's censorship resistance how DeFi's exposure to US-based institutions can affect the likelihood of the chain complying with sanctions whether DAI is just wrapped USDC how MakerDAO is trying to be more independent of USDC why US-based companies will choose a conservative path, considering the lack of guidance the importance of educating the regulators  how cash and crypto are the only remaining private payment methods  Thank you to our sponsors!   Crypto.com: https://crypto.onelink.me/J9Lg/unconfirmedcardearnfeb2021 Ava Labs: https://avax.network a16z: https://link.chtbl.com/HObAJQDL?sid=unchained   Andrew Twitter: https://twitter.com/propelforward   Martin Twitter: https://twitter.com/koeppelmann   Previous Coverage of the Tornado Cash Sanctions on Unchained: Is TRM Labs Blocking Addresses From DeFi Protocols?

One of the topics that came up during our look at the cashless society was the notion of privacy and the digital age's erosion of it. Keeping one's financial transactions private is a big part of maintaining a life free from unwarranted interference and it's becoming harder and harder to do.   Then, not long after we'd recorded that episode, a blow was struck against crypto privacy that is still reverberating through the industry. On the 8th August, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) - a department of the US Treasury - imposed sanctions on the Tornado Cash mixing protocol, as well as a number of wallets associated with it. This unprecedented step was taken because Tornado Cash has been used by hackers from North Korea's Lazarus group to launder stolen crypto. It should be noted however, that, according to blockchain tracking company Chainalysis, only around 17% of the $7 billion that has passed through the protocol is thought to be related to illicit activity.    The impact of these measures was immediate: the Tornado Cash website was taken down, many DeFi protocols began blocking access to wallets that had used Tornado Cash and funds in many wallets were frozen. Most disturbingly of all, one of Tornado Cash's developers was arrested by Dutch police and was still in custody as we recorded this, nearly two weeks later.    If you caught the last episode, you'll be up to speed with what happened with Tornado Cash and the ongoing saga forms a big part of our discussion in this episode. We also talk about privacy in general, how the internet is eroding it and crypto's role in the fight to keep prying eyes away from our finances.    Privacy is a right, not a privilege, and forms a central plank of human freedom. But, like other freedoms, if we don't fight for it, then others will take it away. If that happens, it will be much harder to get back than it ever was to hold on to.   We hope you enjoy the show.   Producer for iHeartMedia: Noel Brown Editor: Sam Moult  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode #67: Bonds Aweigh There are two major questions many investors are asking with regard to the bond market these days, and we'll examine both in this episode. We'll also discuss the impact of inflation, provide historical context, and share the Flourish Wealth Management approach to client portfolios within this context. Want more Flourish Insights with Jay Pluimer?

As the director of investments at Flourish Wealth Management, I take pride in providing our clients, colleagues, and friends with resources and information that can help them make strategic and effective choices regarding their investments. If you've been enjoying the show, be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, so you'll never miss an episode. Today, we are discussing the state of the bond market while putting the bad performance from the first half of 2022 into context. When interest rates go up, bond prices go down. The price impact can be particularly painful when bond yields are at historically low levels and can't provide much of an offset. This has been the story for bond markets in 2022 as interest rates have risen at a staggering pace on the backs of high inflation expectations and aggressive interest rate hike policies from the Federal Reserve. It's important to note that although we will be focused on the US Bond Market in this episode, 40 countries are currently raising interest rates in efforts to fight high global inflation rates, meaning we are not alone with this problem and there is no place to hide from the bad environment. Bond prices have been falling across the spectrum, hitting corporate and municipal bonds at the same time while causing the worst returns in over 40 years. As of June 30th, UltraShort Bonds had lost 3%, Short-Term Bonds dropped 7%, Core Bonds were down 10%, and High Yield Bonds were down over 14%. This is the first time since 1994 that stocks and bonds have both lost money at the same time. These dramatic losses raise a couple questions. The first question is whether or not we are in a Bond Bear Market. We all know that a 20% drop in the Stock Market is the definition of a Bear Market for stocks, but there isn't a similarly clear definition for bonds. Part of the reason we don't have a definition for bonds is that they have been in a Bull Market for the past 40 years during a mostly declining interest rate environment, plus it's extremely rare for bond investments to fall that much. If a 10% loss for long-term bonds and a 5% loss for core bonds define a bear market, then we have definitely exceeded those benchmarks. The last broad-based bear market for bonds occurred from 1960-1981, during a period of high inflation in the US. The yield on a 10-year US Treasury rose from 3.9% to 15.8% during that time. Since bond prices fall when interest rates rise, we would expect the total return on the 10-year Treasury note to have been abysmal during that period. In fact, while annual returns ranged from -5.4% to 18.3%, the average annualized return during this period was 4% because as interest rates rose, income and principal payments could be reinvested at higher rates and offset the impact of price decreases. The second question is whether or not now is a good time to buy into the bond market. We have been encouraging clients with cash on the sidelines to add stock exposure while the market is on sale by 20%, but we are not as optimistic about bonds at the moment. The first consideration is that the Federal Reserve is not done raising interest rates, so the yield curve could continue to be a headwind for bond investors. In addition, core and long-term bond rates have not moved up in tandem, with short-term rates leading to a slightly inverted yield curve, an environment that is not favorable for new investments. Although bond yields are higher now than 6 months ago, we could continue to see negative bond returns through the rest of the year. In addition, looking at real returns for bonds means calculating the current return minus inflation, meaning that a 3% return for bonds over the next 6 to 12 months has a negative real return of 6% when inflation is at 9%. Our approach in client portfolios over the past few months has been to purchase short-term CDs, between 6 and 24 months, to capture moderate yields between 2.5% and 3.5% while protecting the principal of the investments. Staying short-term also maintains flexibility to buy higher yielding bonds in the future if the Fed continues to increase interest rates. We feel this provides a safe approach to capture positive bond yields to offset some of the damage from earlier in the year, but we will continue to closely monitor the bond markets for investment opportunities. Hopefully the next couple of years will be more favorable for bond investors so we can recover from historically bad bond market returns in 2022, understanding that bonds continue to be an important part of client portfolios because they reduce risk for a diversified portfolio while providing reliable income.

The US Treasury's sanctions on Tornado Cash could go down as one of the most significant events in crypto's history. The implications and nuances are vast, so we've decided to do something a little different for today's episode. On August 12th, Jill Gunter and Michael Mosier from Espresso Systems hosted a Twitter Space on Tornado's sanctions, financial privacy and regulation. We've teamed up with Jill and Michael to share this epic conversation with a wider audience. This is a massive episode, almost 3 hours, but it's full of profound insights and has an all-star lineup of speakers. I highly recommend listening if you want to learn more about the recent sanctions and where regulation is heading! Shoutout to @f1v3am and @nedbgq, who provided a recording of the conversation and made this episode possible. -- Follow Jill: https://twitter.com/jillrgunter Follow Michael: https://twitter.com/M_Mosier_ Follow Empire: https://twitter.com/theempirepod -- Resources Link to the original Twitter Space https://twitter.com/jillrgunter/status/1558150917387534336

This week's highlights from our YouTube channel look at two hot topics within the crypto community. So, get ready for the lowdown on proof of work vs proof of stake and what went down when the US Treasury decided to sanction a popular privacy tool.   First up, you'll hear our take on a recent report from the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange, which looks at the two most well-known consensus mechanisms in crypto: proof of work and proof of stake. Both have their detractors and their champions and both have been in the spotlight in recent months.    Proof of work is the consensus mechanism used by Bitcoin and is much discussed because of its high energy usage. It is also currently used by Ethereum, though not for long because Ethereum's transition to proof of stake is fast approaching. This will be a seismic moment in the history of cryptocurrency and offers the perfect opportunity to examine the two systems in depth. Kraken's excellent report is full of useful information and should be required reading for anyone interested in crypto. In this video, we give you our take on what it all says.   In the second part of this episode, we look at the sanctioning of the Tornado Cash mixing protocol by the US Treasury Department. For those unfamiliar, a mixing protocol provides crypto users with a way to obscure the origin of a crypto transaction. It also acts as a vital tool for preserving privacy in a world where almost every transaction is viewable on-chain. Unfortunately, Tornado Cash has also been used by hackers and money-launderers in the past, hence the Treasury's decision to sanction it.   What may on the surface appear to be merely the shuttering of a tool used by criminals is in fact a major blow to law-abiding users of cryptocurrency and one which is unlikely to affect the bad actors it purports to target. It also has enormous and far-reaching implications for the wider crypto industry and the fallout from it will be felt by all of us. So, for the background to the whole unfolding story, what has happened already and what could happen in the future, keep listening.    You can find the full text of the Kraken report here: https://blog.kraken.com/post/14885/pow-vs-pos-securing-the-chain/    We hope you enjoy the show.   Producer for iHeartMedia: Noel Brown Editor: Semir MutapcicSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the Toyota Land Cruiser Daria Dugina was driving exploded on a road 20 miles west of Moscow and burst into flames, Russia has opened a murder investigation into her assassination.According to TASS, When Dugina "turned onto the Mozhaiskoye road near the village of Bolshiye Vyazemi, there was an explosion, the car caught fire immediately. Forensic experts, investigators and experts in explosive engineering are inspecting the scene and they have found or concluded that approximately 400 grams of TNT were used to cause the explosion. If you like our content please become a patron to get our premium episodes and our public episodes ad-free. 1 Daria's father is Alexander Dugin, a right wing extremist and ultranationalist, is the figure who “inspired” and advised Putin to invade Ukraine. He helped lay the ideological foundation for Putin's invasion of Ukraine and is referred to as “Putin's brain” or “the architect of the Ukraine invasion”. He allegedly is Putin's spiritual advisor, based on his roots in the orthodox church. 2 Darya Dugina's father invented the concept of Eurasianism – a new flavor of fascism. He is to Putin what Steve Bannon / Alex Jones is to Trump. In March 2022, the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Daria Dugina for her contribution to an article on the United World International website suggesting that Ukraine would "perish" if it is admitted to NATO. Dugina was UWI's chief editor. She also claimed that the atrocities of Bucha were American propaganda, chosen because of the phonological similarity to "butcher," a word she linked to US President Biden calling Putin a "butcher" earlier in March. 3 We are considering three theories regarding who's behind the assassination of Darya Dugina, based on one simple question: who stands to gain from her death? Ukraine did it – we explain why that is not the case, in fact this is the last thing Ukraine would do An inside Russian opposition faction did it to destabilize Putin's regime and cause unrest – this theory doesn't hold water either in our opinion. Putin's FSB did it, on his orders as he did with the Moscow apartment bombings, the Moscow theater hostage crisis, Litvinenko, Boris Nemtsov and Anna Politkovskaya. What would Putin stand to gain? Re-energizing popular support for his continued invasion of Ukraine A pretext to escalate tragedies in Ukraine A pretext to justify those war crimes and attacks, as being payback or a response to this assassination – to his people and to the western leaders, United Nations etc Creating a martyr, a new symbol to galvanize the troops An opportunity for him to make some strong worded statements, to come out as a powerful, strong leader who has to double down on killing Ukrainians to keep his own people safe Lastly, a great opportunity to use the grieving father, Aleksandr Dugin, the architect of the war in Ukraine, as a megaphone for his propaganda serving his political goals.

Ari Redbord, Head of Legal and Government Affairs at TRM Labs, talks about the sanctions on Tornado Cash, and the role of blockchain analytics tools in crypto.    Show highlights: Ari's background as a federal prosecutor and his work for the US Treasury why regulators sanctioned Tornado Cash, according to Ari why the Ronin hack was important for regulators to start taking DeFi hacks more seriously the fact that for the first time the Treasury Department sanctioned software whether the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) messed up whether regulators understood the impact on regular users the role of TRM and blockchain analytics tools in mitigating risk how decentralized applications use tools like the ones provided by TRM to comply with regulations and to block addresses why, if Ari were a regulator, he would focus on regulation guidance whether the sanctions on Tornado Cash are unconstitutional what the future of privacy in crypto looks like and whether the government is going after privacy technologies   Thank you to our sponsors!   1inch: https://1inch.io/ Crypto.com: https://crypto.onelink.me/J9Lg/unconfirmedcardearnfeb2021   Ari Twitter: https://twitter.com/ARedbord   Tornado Cash Treasury Press release:  https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0916#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20%E2%80%93%20Today%2C%20the%20U.S.%20Department,since%20its%20creation%20in%202019 Tornado Cash Sanctioned: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/08/08/crypto-mixing-service-tornado-cash-blacklisted-by-us-treasury/ Developer arrested: https://www.fiod.nl/arrest-of-suspected-developer-of-tornado-cash/ TRM Labs blog post:  https://www.trmlabs.com/post/how-defi-platforms-are-using-data-from-trm-labs-to-respond-to-tornado-cash-sanctions Tornado Cash post on compliance: https://tornado-cash.medium.com/tornado-cash-compliance-9abbf254a370 Coin Center's article authored by Jerry Brito and Peter Van Valkenburgh: https://www.coincenter.org/u-s-treasury-sanction-of-privacy-tools-places-sweeping-restrictions-on-all-americans/ Second Coin Center article authored by Jerry Brito and Peter Van Valkenburgh: https://www.coincenter.org/analysis-what-is-and-what-is-not-a-sanctionable-entity-in-the-tornado-cash-case/ Coin Center may challenge the US Treasury's decision to sanction Tornado Cash: https://decrypt.co/107475/coin-center-tornado-cash-ban-court Circle freezes USDC in sanctioned wallets: https://www.theblock.co/post/162172/circle-freezes-usdc-funds-in-tornado-cashs-us-treasury-sanctioned-wallets  Crypto exchange dYdX blocked accounts that received funds from Tornado Cash: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/08/11/crypto-exchange-dydx-blocked-accounts-that-received-even-small-amounts-from-tornado-cash/ The possibility of forking Tornado Cash: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/08/10/cloning-tornado-cash-would-be-easy-but-risky/ What the sanctions mean for privacy coins: https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/08/09/what-the-tornado-cash-sanction-means-for-privacy-coins/ Tornado Cash laundered $1.5 billion, according to Elliptic: https://hub.elliptic.co/analysis/tornado-cash-mixer-sanctioned-after-laundering-over-1-5-billion/ Celebrities get Dusted: https://decrypt.co/es/107090/tornado-cash-dusts-public-wallets-jimmy-fallon-brian-armstrong-steve-aoki-logan-paul Previous Coverage of Unchained: Tornado Cash Sanctioned.

  It's Casual Friday! Sam hosts David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect, to break down the week in news. Then, Sam is joined by Jordan Holmes and Dan Friesen, co-hosts of the Knowledge Fight podcast, to discuss the recent Alex Jones-Sandy Hook trial. First, Sam walks through Merrick Garland's first impactful moment as Donald Trump put him front and center in the raid on Mar-a-Lago, also touching on today's IRA vote in the House, the banning of gender-affirming care for ADULTS in Florida, and Europe seeing its worst drought in five centuries. David Dayen then joins as he and Sam discuss how Manchin's Inflation Reduction Act impacts the US' healthcare infrastructure, looking first at its changes to ACA and ARP exchange rates, before diving deep into its empowerment of Medicare to negotiate drug prices, and why it's so important despite its limitation to 10 drugs per year, and not kicking until the next presidential election is over, meaning a Ron DeSantis or Donald J. Trump might be able to take credit for capped Medicare prices. Next, they move on to the Climate provisions of the IRA, with David walking through the positives we can take, including significant investment in domestic production in next-gen tech, particularly when it comes to EVs and batteries, before parsing through the myriad carrots that drive the bill's policy, how it employs the tax code throughout all of this, and why this essentially deputizes the US Treasury to interpret out climate provisions. After expanding on the tax credits that come from EVs that don't yet exist, they wrap up by taking on Manchin's disastrous fossil fuel provisions, from wider-scale requirements to lease fossil fuel extraction before leasing any permits for building renewable energy sites, to literally just “let me build my pipeline.” Then, Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes join as they reflect on the evolution of the Alex Jones Conspiratorial Multiverse, his slow shift to Televangelism, and how the roots of his income (beyond largely being fear-driven) are still obscured from even the most learned Info Warrior. And in the Fun Half, Sam and the MR Crew dive into the the interesting push by Republicans in Congress to now all of a sudden hate the FBI. Steve Doocy has had just about enough of that, as he spars with Elise Stefanik and Steve Scalise over their inability to "back the blue" anymore now that they've raided Trump's home. Then they look at whether Brian Kilmeade's producers hate him or if they were really that dumb to accidentally put on screen a photoshopped image of a Florida judge on Jeffrey Epstein's body onboard the Lolita Express. Then, the MR universe gets a look behind the curtain as to what went down when Sam was able to mole his way onto the Dennis Prager Show (for approximately 5 seconds), and how, despite Prager's aching for it, he won't engage in spirited intellectual debate.
