On this episode of "Speaking of Bitcoin", join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan for a discussion about loans in the world of crypto. HODL. It's crypto-land philosophy for not selling your preferred token even when things look their most bleak. But where philosophy intersects with real-world concerns like shelter, food and the niceties of life, tactics have emerged offering both opportunities and risks. From smart contracts to bitcoin collateralized mortgages, the hosts discuss their experiences with loans in the world of crypto. Credits Today’s show featured Andreas M.

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan for a discussion about the origins and evolution of Bitcoin maximalism.
Bitcoin maximalists – the self-described pro-Bitcoin, anti-altcoin faithful – have been around for longer than most modern crypto projects. The term was coined by Vitalik Buterin prior to Ethereum's release. Buterin intended the term to be a direct criticism of individuals with an unwavering view that Bitcoin was the only true option for cryptographic token use-cases.
In this episode as we explore the phenomenon's' motivation and roots, we also draw from Speaking of Bitcoin's extensive library. It features the very first recorded explanation of why there should only be one cryptocurrency and why should be bitcoin as explained by Hashcash inventor and bitcoin developer Adam Back . That clip is excerpted from episode 77 https://soundcloud.com/mindtomatter/e77-the-adam-back-interview (December 2013) before Adam became personally involved. It's a fascinating journey and one you won't want to miss.

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan for a discussion about crypto cycles and consequences.
As 2022 kicks into gear many of us are wondering what's in store for bitcoin and the broader crypto markets. Our lives, although our own, are driven by cycles which are often outside of our control. These cycles create the environment in which we each try to find happiness and success. But we can't see the cycles, at least not until they've come to pass and so we can't tell if this time is different until it's too late.

Join hosts Adam B. Levine and Stephanie Murphy along with special guest Josh Scigala, CEO of Vaultoro, for a wide-ranging exploration of the growing asset class of "Stablecoins."
On this episode we discuss: The possibility of central banks or regulators banning private 1:1 stablecoins. The challenges faced by early, decentralized, overcollateralized stablecoins. How negative interest rates will drive 1:1 stablecoins into fractional reserve. The potential weaponization of unlimited money printing to take control of limited resources. The scenario where governments freeze bank accounts connected to 1:1 backed coins in an attempt to destroy the wider crypto economy. The Potential for mismanagement of funds by 1:1 companies and threat of a Lehman brothers 2.0 The shrinking but still dangerous dearth of transparency within the biggest stablecoin balance sheets Why regulators can't seem to keep up with real solutions Why Josh believes decentralised stablecoins present a better set of tradeoffs.

The Lightning Network is arguably the most anticipated scaling solution for Bitcoin to date. Why isn’t everyone using it?
“Speaking of Bitcoin” hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Stephanie Murphy are joined by Rene Pickhardt, Bitcoin and Lightning Network Developer. The four lead a conversation on the still in development yet rapidly growing Lightning Network. It’s a second-layer network that enables fast, secure, private and inexpensive payments that don’t make sense to store on bitcoin’s base layer. But while that might sound ideal, it’s not simple in practice. A scrappy community of companies and developers have been pushing the tech consistently forward as the number of hard problems still to solve ticks down.
Even as early as we are, Lightning has proven to be a radical improvement on the user experience of bitcoin. On the bitcoin network, fees vary but typically range from $1–5 and complete with confirmation in an average of ten minutes. With Lightning, fees and transaction times drop dramatically: the transaction fees are generally 1/100th or 1/10th of a penny and take just seconds.
If the improvements of Lightning are clear, why isn’t everyone using it today? Listen to hear more about the challenges and solutions coming to this rapidly-evolving aspect of bitcoin.

With NFTs continuing their rapid advance into mainstream cultural awareness, how much is FOMO (fear of missing out) and how much is real? This time Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine discuss the evolving battle lines in the nascent world of triple-A gaming NFTs and whether these early announcements are a signal or just noise.
Later, the hosts explore the still-to-come moment when the behemoths of game publishing select which blockchain or blockchains will be their native NFT layer. Are we in for a repeat of the corporate adoption story? Or will big-budget games become a new differentiating factor, elevating their chosen partners to de-facto “incumbent” status?

Today’s show is from a time before the trillion (or even billion) dollar market cap; Before Vitalik had ever spoken the word Ethereum; Before taproot, segwit, stock-to-flow and the institutional investing thesis. In the early days, Bitcoin was the absolute state of the art and the basis for an entirely new and utterly revolutionary form of technology. In this episode you’ll get a peek at how we discussed it before everything that would happen had happened.

This is part two (a bonus episode) of last weeks discussion of "cryptoization" and why the IMF is utterly terrified of it going mainstream.
SOB #486 Why Is the IMF Afraid of Cryptozation?
The IMF has outlined yet another set of concerns it holds about crypto. Is crypto really the problem, or is the IMF just afraid of the things it cannot control?
Join hosts Adam B. Levine, Jonathan Mohan and Andreas M. Antonopoulos as they dissect the October global financial stability report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) subtitled “COVID-19, Crypto and Climate: Navigating Challenging Transitions.” An entire chapter of the report is dedicated to destabilization factors crypto poses, at least as identified by the IMF. It even coined a new term, “cryptoization,” to refer to the introduction and/or substitution of crypto in emerging markets.
Although worries of supply shocks, supply chain inflation and stagflation fill headlines, the IMF placed crypto in the top three stability concerns. Is the organization gearing up to poise crypto as the scapegoat in case of an oncoming financial crisis?

Why did a joke cryptocurrency with zero ambition find massive success, yet a calculated military campaign with plenty of ambition turned into a massive failure? With the right leverage, ten men can fight like one hundred, and one coin can spend like a million.
This time on Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine for a look at bitcoin tipping through the ages. From the dogecoin-like fun and fervor of the early days to the game-changing bridges that first brought it to twitter, the hosts dig into Youtube, Changetip, TechCrunch and more.
But what happened to tipping? What was once the raison d'être of the early cryptocurrency experience faded away, as what was thought of as money turned out to be gold: Too precious to just toss around... Or was it?
In this episode we dig into the thought, experience and philosophy behind bitcoin tipping, how it changed and finally whether it's on the uptrend yet again.

Blockchain technology presents opportunities for dissonant opinions, fractionalization and internal reform unmatched in the fiat world.
Join hosts Jonathan Mohan, Stephanie Murphy and Andreas M. Antonopoulos as they dissect “Voice and Exit,” or the power and necessity of being able to impact a system, whether financial, social or governmental, and if necessary, leave altogether. “Voice and Exit” was popularized by Balaji Srinivasan in 2013, where Srinivasan outlined how voice is attempting to change a system from within, while exit is leaving to create a new one.
Crypto has provided new methods to exercise voice and exit. Forks, software or protocol changes that users can choose to upgrade to, are an example of exit inherent to blockchain technology. Forks give the community a chance to decide whether to continue with the upgrade or remain in the old rules; forks have created spin-off currencies like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV.
As opportunities for voice and exit seem to be gradually disappearing, can crypto help those who need them most?

In the early days of Bitcoin, a few idealistic individuals attempted to live entirely on the bitcoin currency. Nine years and an abundance of technological developments later, is an entirely closed-loop bitcoin economy possible, or even useful?
Join hosts Jonathan Mohan, Stephanie Murphy and Andreas M. Antonopoulos as they reflect on bitcoin’s evolution as a currency and commodity. In the early days, an era of retail adoption as merchants began to accept bitcoin from their customers seemed to point to a bright future for daily bitcoin use. The 2013 IRS addendum treating bitcoin as a commodity, rather than as a foreign currency, quickly made transactions a burden with onerous tax reporting requirements, dimming that retail bitcoin future.
In the time since, the crypto community has adopted a HODL mindset. Why spend bitcoin if it’s disinflationary in nature and will bring you more value in the future? Those idealistic individuals' dreams of bitcoin as a daily currency may no longer align with bitcoin's maturation.
Developments in layer 2 technology, like the Lightning Network, have allowed experiments in bitcoin as legal tender to be not only a possibility, but a pragmatic choice for governments like El Salvador’s. With news of Ukraine considering following in El Salvador’s footsteps, will clusters of closed-loop bitcoin life bloom around the world?

El Salvador’s decision to make bitcoin legal tender shocked the world. Earlier this week the rapidly-developed and adopted bitcoin law went live, kicking off what seems primed to be an era of accelerated change unlike anything seen in our lifetimes.
Join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Stephanie Murphy for a quick three part discussion on the launch challenges, implications and listener comments from our previous show on the topic.
First, the launch: It was messy, but it happened. Alex Gladstein had an insightful twitter thread in the days leading up to it (https://twitter.com/gladstein/status/1434636006632747009). Matt Ahlborg dug into the day-1 government issued wallet and found a mixed bag, extra controls on the money given out at launch but a fairly robust technological package including native SegWit support and a functional lightning network integration (https://twitter.com/MattAhlborg/status/1435307724774989829)
Second, the implications: This path towards adoption was not what we expected. What El Salvador's move to use bitcoin directly suggests is that dollarized nations, or those who use another countries currency and in doing so become subject to their monetary policy decisions, may prefer bitcoin's non-monetary policy to either domestic or imported control. That's in sharp contrast to nations like India, China and the US who use their currencies and controls over it to accomplish policy goals. These powerful players see central bank digital currencies as a way to supercharge their monetary policy compared to their influence today over physical banknotes.
And finally, the local perspective: We had two listeners write in with corrections to our prior episode (We were incorrect about the reason why El Salvador "dollarized" their economy in 2000, it was billed as a move to lower the cost of borrowing, not because of elevated inflation) along with the many concerns and questions which are still unanswered. You'll find both listeners comments in full linked below.

Has decentralized gaming just created virtual menial labor?
Join hosts Adam B. Levine, Jonathan Mohan and Andreas M. Antonopoulos as they dive into the world of Axie Infinity and the growing global meta economy. Axie Infinity, a Pokémon-esc play-to-earn game on the Ethereum blockchain, has exploded in popularity around the world. The primary user-base has remained grounded in the Philippines as Filipinos from all walks of life buy, borrow, breed, trade and fight in-game NFT characters called “Axies.”
These fighting cartoon pets have earned players legitimate money – in some cases, enough to sway workers to quit their jobs to pursue Axie full-time. The pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, especially in places like the Philippines, only make Axie that much more enticing. Individuals and groups with more capital have also snapped on the Axie opportunity in the forms of “scholarships” and lending schemes.
Axie Infinity, and in particular, the lending schemes, prompt a larger conversation about the ethical implications of exporting work and the geographic inequality of opportunities. In the best light, lending within play-to-earn can be seen as providing opportunities with profits orders of magnitudes higher than the local economies could provide. Yet, viewing the practice from a different angle, it can be seen as richer countries farming out low-paying work to individuals who have no better options locally.
Is Axie Infinity a solution or scam? Will the platform maintain its relevance or fizzle out?

Ethereum’s London hard fork, also known as EIP 1559, took place on Aug. 5. The backwards-incompatible upgrade reignited community debate over hard forks, soft forks and the best methods – most foolproof, least polarizing – to bring about change to a network.
Join hosts Adam B. Levine, Jonathan Mohan and Andreas M. Antonopoulos as they explore the various ways in which consensus has been reached recently across the two largest protocols. The differences in technology and underlying philosophy means some solutions are more enticing to Ethereum and others to Bitcoin.
Ethereum maintains a so-called “difficulty bomb,” whose fuse is lengthened with every upgrade. If it ever goes off, miners would face exponentially harder work and proportionally diminished rewards, forcing them to switch from the pre-fork chain to the upgraded one. Bitcoin’s equivalent to the difficulty bomb, the User Activated Soft Fork (UASF), accomplishes the same thing by other means. Are these mechanisms the proverbial ‘Chekhov’s Gun,’ inevitably to be used in some later act, or simply empty threats to coerce miners into compliance?
Listen to this episode of “Speaking of Bitcoin” for an in-depth explainer of how wide-spread change occurs across decentralized networks and what changes might be in store for the future.

NFTs are emerging as the path from insular crypto community to a breakthrough in mainstream culture. Blockchain technology and pop culture collide to produce new possibilities for the future of art and beyond.
The question is, will NFTs prove to be valuable enough to endure beyond the hype?
“Stoner Cats,” a new animated series featuring top Hollywood talent (and Ethereum inventor Vitalik Buterin) successfully used a non-fungible token (NFT) sale to leapfrog the financial gatekeepers in Hollywood. With a cast list including Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Chris Rock and Seth MacFarlane, it is no wonder the campaign raised over $9 million in just a few hours.
Join hosts Adam B. Levine, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan as they pick apart the ”Stoner Cat” ambitious and novel approach to the production of an independent animated series. This project is one example of many in NFTs proving their worth beyond just the art: They are now status symbols, pop culture phenomena and a viable financial tool.
The “Stoner Cats” NFT launch, though eventually fruitful, began with a set of stumbles. As prospective buyers lined up to the launch, Ethereum gas fees quickly skyrocketed and some paid more than five times the price in fees. While the implementation of this kick-starter style of on-chain fundraiser could be improved, “Stoner Cats” proved it was possible.

El Salvador’s decision to make bitcoin legal tender shocked the world. Soon, the dust will settle and catchy headlines will become real, lived experiences for Salvadorans.
Join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Stephanie Murphy for a read-through and thoughtful conversation of El Salvador’s bitcoin legislation in full. The hosts discuss the highs and lows of the bill and potential risks to the country, its citizens and bitcoin globally.
Though many had predicted governmental adoption of bitcoin would come, none had predicted it would happen so soon. The rest of the world has watched attentively as El Salvador embarks on a nation-scale trial run of bitcoin as legal tender. This unprecedented circumstance brings an abundance of technical and social challenges.
What will the great successes be with this experiment? Where can it go wrong? And how will the Lightning Network factor in? Most worryingly, will El Salvadore’s trust fund be the world’s biggest honeypot?
The bitcoin bill is set to go in effect in less than two months. Will El Salvador be able to address these concerns in time?

SOB #475 Emergent Complexity and Building Systems We Don’t Understand
If you landed in medieval times, could you build a phone? Or something even simpler, a pencil?
Join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy & Jonathan Mohan for a deep dive into the wildly empowering, complex and terrifyingly automated world we live in. This wide ranging, philosophical discussion touches on such topics as the Suez Canal, Douglas Adams, combat drones, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and more.
The world’s complexity exponentially increases by the decade. A gradual systemization has led to the automation of specialized tasks, affording people free time to perform other, even more complex tasks. For example, consider navigation apps reducing the decision-making process from driving, or the rise of autonomous cars that will eventually remove human interaction altogether.
As the world depends more on an unimaginable web of logistics, what happens when something breaks? The evolution of automation from simple, rules-based systems to incredibly complex machine learning algorithms has diminished the ability to understand or predict these structures.
As much as we love decentralization and technological advancement, where do these aims fail us? Are we creating more problems than solving them?

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, we're zipping back even further to the Spring of 2013, where Andreas M. Antonopoulos, fresh off his Let's Talk Bitcoin! debut episodes gave a pivotal talk entitled "Bitcoin Neutrality" before a tiny audience at the Bitcoin 2013 conference.
Next week we'll be back with a new philosophical discussion entitled "No One's Driving" on automation and technology, the good and the bad.
The following week we'll bring you our deep-dive into El Salvador, which is in editing now and has been a long time coming.
Six years ago Adam B. Levine and Arthur S. Falls started a discussion on what they called The New Renaissance. It's a conversation about disruption, open source and the individual.
On today's episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, we're flashing back to 2015 for a look at where we're going through understanding where we've come from.

This time on Speaking of Bitcoin, the hosts are joined by John Williams, rogue economist and long-time Editor of ShadowStats.com, a data source that tracks everything from inflation to GDP, money supply to unemployment using the original government defined methodologies. Over time, the government has changed how they measure all of these things and Johns work reveals that these changes all result in better looking statistics from the same, often terrifying numbers.
In this wide ranging conversation we talk about how and why this happened, plus what we can do about it. If this is a new topic to you, expect to come away with a different perspective in this epic episode.

On today's episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Adam B. Levine, Jonathan Mohan and Stephanie Murphy as they dive into the growing topic of inflation. Our modern world is increasingly divided; The currently dominant narrative asserts that Modern Monetary Theory (MMT, or "Financial Scatology" as Jonathan likes to call it) is a free ticket to a better tomorrow... On the other hand, there are those who believe that money is just one of many measurements of reality. And increasingly those metrics have been corrupted to keep the party going and avoid at all costs blame falling on those responsible. In this episode, the hosts dig in deep for a sobering yet real conversation about what's going on and where all of this is headed.

This time on Speaking of Bitcoin, correspondent George Frankly presents his third installment in the Dare to be Stupid series.
On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin join Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine as we dive into two new stories perfectly illustrating the oppressive, silly, modern mania that surrounds us all. First we dig into the intense fervor surrounding recent comments by the always controversial Elon Musk. After the break we dig into the recent explosion of Dogeclones and how Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin probably picked the least-worst option available. Prefer to listen as a Podcast?

This time on Speaking of Bitcoin, correspondent George Frankly presents his second installment in the Dare to be Stupid series.
On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin we’re digging into the growing sense of mania. Across all asset and social classes money is on everybody’s mind: Whether you’ve got a lot of it and don’t know where to put it or you need a lot of it and can’t get access to it, times are strange and it’s no accident.
This time hosts Stephanie Murphy, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine discuss the modern manias and what they could mean for our future. Prefer to listen as a Podcast? Subscribe to Speaking of Bitcoin:

In this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin (originally recorded in early January, 2021), join Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy and Jonathan Mohan as they dig into the much discussed but often poorly understood ‘Taproot’ improvement.
This long-in-the-works, multi-part bitcoin improvement proposal is nearing deployment but will likely take years to fully manifest in the wallets and applications we use. Even so, taproot is set to impact the protocol significantly in the areas of scale, privacy and the ability to create and execute more complex ‘smart contracts’ on bitcoins’ native layer.
In this episode, we dig into the meaning and implications of the upgrades major componants in an easy to understand way and then go into the technical explanation to provide you with all the technical details as well.

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, CoinCenter’s Research Director, Peter Van Valkenburgh, joins the hosts for a discussion about FinCEN’s “Self Custodied Wallet” rule. The recently proposed, much commented attempt to extend rules which govern how banks must report on their customers would apply to companies like CoinBase plus a whole lot more. It’s a bit of a wonky topic, but one that’s critically important as bitcoin continues its march towards the mainstream and governments seek to grapple with the implications.

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, passions run hot as the hosts dig into the events and significance surrounding Gamestop, Wall Street Bets and the growing sense of outrage as perceptions of lawlessness go mainstream.
“Every market tends to have these effects where the rich gets richer, where wealth accumulates, that’s something that occurs in social systems… it’s a natural outcome of other inequalities that exist, and bitcoin doesn’t fix that,” said educator, author and host Andreas M. Antonopoulos. “But there’s something especially galling about the idea that once wealth inequality has started, that wealth can be used to buy power, that power can be used to buy access, and that power and access can be used to buy impunity. And when the rules can be changed, not just before or after the fact, but during the trade… When the rules of the market can be changed even against participants who were, in good faith, assuming that the same rules applied to them, that’s particularly galling. What bitcoin fixes, what decentralized finance fixes is not inequality, what it fixes is that wealth and access and power do not give you the ability to change the rules in the middle of the game. And that, on its own, is revolutionary.”
“I genuinely believe that this is the most transformative financial event of the past decade, since 2009,” opined Jonathan Mohan, “In 2009 everyone learned that America is the country where if you’re too big, you will not be allowed to fail. Too big to fail means once you’re rich enough, everyone else will suffer so you don’t fail. There’s a coordinated cabal of people coming together and telling retail “You’re too small to succeed, we’re going to do something, it’s going to be blatant. We’re going to stick our neck 50 paces past the edge of the cliff…. But if you call us out on it because you’re not part of the club, and we lose money because of it… Who are you? We’re everything. You’re nothing. You’re too small to succeed. You don’t get to do that.’
And the way the government and these companies respond will let us know if America will go from being a country that said ‘if you’re too big we won’t let you fail’, to being the country that says ‘If you’re too small, we goddamn sure won’t let you succeed.”

On today's episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy & Jonathan Mohan for a new take on an old conversation: Is this the AOL moment (where Bitcoin goes "mainstream" and begins to succeed in popular culture while at the same time losing most of it's early principles) we've been talking about for the last 8 years?

On this “Speaking of Bitcoin” episode, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, and Jonathan Mohan for a look at the past, present and future of global reserve currencies
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Nexo.io and Elliptic
In the beginning (way back in 2009) there was the global reserve currency (U.S. dollars,) national currencies like the Japanese Yen, alternative currencies like Ithaca hours and just one cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.
But what a difference a decade can make, today there are thousands of cryptocurrencies, many created by enthusiasts who have ideas on how to make something even better than bitcoin, but also currencies that use some of the technology that makes Bitcoin so powerful, but which pairs it with the authority of a national government, like the Digital Yuan in China, the Digital Euro out of Brussels, or even a globe-spanning corporation with billions of customers like the Libra, backed by Facebook.
In this emerging picture, is bitcoin still interesting? First attempts at new technologies, even when successful at introducing a powerful new idea, are often not the ones which eventually succeeds in changing everything. And importantly, as the world changes and we get closer to something other than the dollar standard, where does bitcoin fit?
On this “Speaking of Bitcoin” episode, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and special guest Martin Rerak, creator of AllYourFeeds.com, for a look at how “AI curation” is being used to figure out what’s useful information and what’s just fluff.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Nexo.io and Elliptic
Hundreds of tabs
In the early days of Bitcoin, there were just a few places you might go to read news and stay informed, but over the years things have changed dramatically. Today there are thousands of projects and hundreds of articles written each day. And that’s assuming you ignore the wilds of YouTube or the depths of crypto Twitter.
There were days I was waking up to a hundred tabs that I was basically just reloading from the prior day... You know, looking at Slack, Telegram, Twitter accounts, Discord, Reddit and dozens of publications online [...] It was very easy to point somebody in the [right] direction if they're saying, "Where can I buy cryptocurrency?" But if they were saying, "Is there a use case here for traceability?" or "What do you think I should invest in?" or "How is this project developing?" that becomes a lot more loaded and challenging... - Martin Rerak
See also: What Is GPT-3 and Should We Be Terrified?
In this episode, we discuss the crypto-media landscape, AI training, the challenges around bias and un-biasing practices, potential impacts of the natural-language-generating algorithm known as GPT-3 and more.
Biased AI
While unsettling on the surface, the idea of bias within an AI is not as controversial as you might imagine – it’s almost required. As humans, we each have our own experiences and preferences which shape our viewpoint and our biases. Modern artificial intelligence consumes “training material” curated by humans to learn what’s right or wrong for its particular task. Once trained, AI can help us with those tasks and is at its most useful when it’s “instincts” match whomever it is working on behalf of.
Of course whether bias is good or bad depends a lot of your priorities. When Google trained an AI to help with hiring, the data around past and current employees led it to believe that an ideal “Google engineer” wouldn’t have a woman’s college on their academic transcript. For Google, their past records did not match their future ambitions and so bias was a problem.
But personally, I’ve developed patent-pending AI technology that assists with audio editing, and here the idea of bias is critical. There is no objective standard of what sounds best, only personal preferences. For an AI to assist an audio editor, it must be in tune with those preferences and be able to make decisions that are objectively correct for the person it is assisting.
This is much the same with AI assisted news curation. We all have our own preferences, interests and biases which help us decide what we do or don’t care about. On today’s show we dig into this fascinating topic where one size rarely fits all and the future is wide open.
Adam provides an update on an upcoming series of retrospective episodes on The Original Let's Talk Bitcoin Show
On this Speaking of Bitcoin episode, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy & Jonathan Mohan for an in-depth discussion about what’s really at risk when blockchains suffer the dreaded 51% attack.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.
On today’s show we’re talking 51% attacks, the much discussed, infrequently seen and fairly misunderstood doomsday scenarios. It’s recently re-emerged as a topic of discussion as Ethereum plans its transition to Proof-of-Stake and fork Ethereum Classic is hit by its third in less than a month.
Although the numbers may change, basically any blockchain you can imagine is vulnerable to some form of the so-called 51% attack. By distributing the power within a protocol, say to miners instead of a corporate board, blockchains and other decentralized systems create and maintain a “Consensus Reality”, where what most of the network believes to be true is true, or becomes true for the entirety of the network.
See also: How Does Kraken’s New Crypto Bank Work?
If you think about it, this makes sense. Each blockchain creates a game with a distinct set of rules that need to be followed for the thing to work. It requires lots of people who don’t know each other to individually follow those rules and get rewarded by the system for doing so. The assumption underlying all of these systems is that most of the people are going to be compelled by the offered rewards to follow the rules. Even if a lot of people aren’t following the rules, they’re probably breaking them in different ways rather than working together.
In a 51% attack, that assumption is broken as most, or at least enough of the network is overcome by bad actors who aim to rewrite reality in their favor.
It’s a real problem, one of the biggest blockchains face, especially less popular ones… But even if you could pull one off, the outcome might not be as bad as many fear.
But what is actually at risk? What’s possible and what’s safe? Tune in to find out.

On today's show we're going back to basics. While bitcoin and digital bearer assets in general are an incredibly important technology, the reason they're likely to be important to the future has little to do with the token and everything to do with the context surrounding them: The world we live in every day, where government controlled money is abused for the benefit of the few and to the detriment of the many.
"Bitcoin is a way of achieving consensus. And consensus is a way for a bunch of people who may disagree on things to agree to a singular fact that they then execute, so imagine if Congress actually had bipartisan support to unilaterally pass a bill every ten minutes... That's basically what's occurring in Bitcoin.
There's nothing more political than money because money affects everything else, and yet Bitcoin works. I think there's a lot of people looking at trying to reform the governance structures of the places that they're in, what they really should be doing is looking at things like Bitcoin and frameworks using blockchains to say "OK, how can we come to consensus over this or that governance issue of which money would be one... But I think the most transformative and phenomenal thing it'll do is, Nakamoto Consensus and then just blockchain governance writ large is a phenomenal way to have self governance.
We see these breakdowns and these desires to federate cities and the way decisions are made, [but] maybe rather than turning to a government based political solution, a community based solution using something like a blockchain would be something with a lot greater staying power and impact." - Jonathan Mohan
Topics:
Who is the economy still working for, and who is it not serving? What’s wrong with money that makes alternatives attractive? Why and how is Bitcoin disconnected from the current system? What’s the value in the US and western Europe compared to the value in less developed parts of the world? What role does speculation play in the story of bitcoin? Bitcoin’s been around now for more than ten years. Are we on track to make a difference? What’s the normal adoption curve for disruptive or revolutionary technologies? What IS a disruptive or revolutionary technology? Who is bitcoin potentially disrupting? Does being part of the bitcoin community make you politically affiliated, or represent a distinct political viewpoint?

On today’s episode of Let’s Talk Bitcoin! you’re invited to join Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Adam B. Levine, Stephanie Murpy and special guest Richard Myers for an in-depth look at the past, present and future of ‘Mobile Mesh Networking’ technology and the open source LOT49 protocol built on top of lightning.
Just as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin don’t rely on static infrastructure and professional providers, mobile mesh networking allows the creation of inexpensive, high range, low bandwidth and power consumption ad-hoc networks that’ll let your phone send text messages or even bitcoin lightning network micro-transactions, even in areas with no coverage.
According to Richard, Bitcoin’s Lightning is a what’s needed to make mobile mesh networks catch on by bootstrapping on top of the payment routing infrastructure.
“…the Lightning network currently sends payments from A to B to C and then all those intermediate nodes can connect a small fee if the payment is delivered at the end. All we’re doing is saying ‘Not only [can you send] a payment, but [you can send] a small message. In our case it’d be a SMS message. So you’re sending an SMS message along with a Lightning payment from A to B to C to D, and when D receives that message they return proof that it was delivered and that’s what flows back through the network. In the Lightning sense, that’s your pre-image. It’s computed from the message, that’s how the nodes are able to collect payment even if they lose touch with the original person who sent it.”
But the way the Lightning network uses data natively isn’t ideal for mobile mesh. The open source Lot49 protocol is another layer on top of lightning that Richard says is necessary to make it work at scale while using mesh devices as an extremely low-bandwidth TOR-like privacy layer.
“In many ways we’re not making a new protocol, we’re literally using lightning. Lot49 is custom communication protocol that’s optimized for mesh. For example, right now there’s a 1300 byte onion that’s used to route messages over the internet and that’s very important because you lose a lot of privacy… you lose all your privacy… if you were to just send messages over the internet without onion routing.
We’re sending over more or less a physical TOR network since it’s going from node to node, not through a central ISP who can associate who you’re trying to pay. We’re also doing it over a low bandwidth network, so if you were sending 1300 bytes it may not sound like much in the age of the internet but we’re talking about devices that [have a maximum data transmission capacity of] about a kilobyte a minute so that’s a significant amount of the bandwidth that you have [tied up just in the web’s onion routing]
So for example with LOT49, we take out the onion and we use the native routing at the mesh device [level] which is optimized for mesh communications. And there’s a few other little changes we make like that in order to reduce the bandwidth by chunking up messages… the ultimate goal is to minimize the lightning protocol overhead so that there is more bandwidth available for data… For things like sending an SMS and as bandwidth increases there may be things like internet protocol…”

On today's episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin! you're invited to join Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Adam B. Levine, Jonathan Mohan and Stephanie Murpy for an in-depth discussion about the ups and downs, the good and the bad about being your own bank in the modern world of Bitcoin.
The powerful idea and meme at the core of Bitcoin self-sovereignty is incredibly empowering but has an unspoken element that requires persistent competence and at least for some makes it more trouble than it's worth.
As the world reels from the response to COVID-19 and disorder seems the trend on the rise, we discuss how although Bitcoin makes it possible for anyone to be their own bank, who actually wants the constant vigilance and anxiety that goes along with it? And what happens when things go wrong and there's no-one to blame but ourselves?
"...There is tremendous luxury in having institutions that at least appear to be stable over some period of time where you don't need to worry about the details of how they work and what happens under failure conditions. That luxury is pretty concentrated in just a few places in the world and at some point you can't afford that luxury of apathy. - Andreas M. Antonopoulos, LTB! #437

'The best Sundays are for long reads and deep conversations. Recently the hosts of the Let's Talk Bitcoin! Show gathered to discuss state sponsored propaganda, corporate censorship and how cryptocurrency or decentralization changes the game.
The rallying cry of the totalitarian is "He farted first", but if both systems have produced similar outcomes, is there much of a difference? Inspired by a recent article in the Atlantic, in today's wide-ranging discussion the hosts of Let's Talk Bitcoin! dig deeply into the questions of censorship, propaganda and how things are both better and worse than in years past.

Although some believe bitcoin mining is a wasteful activity, on today's show we dig into the relative world of constant fuel production, lumpy demand and bitcoin based load balancing.
After years of bitcoin mining domination by china-based miners, some US power producers, both professional and incidental, are beginning to get into the game as a way to be more green. It's a narrative reversal if ever we've seen one and if proven successful by the early players could change the bitcoin mining landscape as we know it.
But even without a "Green Bitcoin" narrative in the US, one of China's two major mining advantages has evaporated as Moores Law stretches out the useful lifespan of modern bitcoin miners hardware.
Correction: Before installing miners, Greenidge Generation previously shut down during off-peak season, during the episode Adam incorrectly stated that it previously shut down during off-peak hours.

On today's show we've got a pair of interviews for you. First we speak with John Cantrell, the author of Juggernaut, a new messaging layer 3 application being built on top of layer 2 lightning network, which is itself built on top of layer one bitcoin. It's a lot of layers, but as a technological concept currently in beta it's a fascinating project, and we talk about it. (Juggernaut on Github)
After the break we're joined again by Alex Gladstein of HRF.org for a discussion on political expediency in the age of pandemic and what crisis has revealed about various governments, and different types of governments around the world. Alex is one of my favorite returning guests, with his global human rights focused work taking him to some of the most interesting and most oppressed places around the world
"What's interesting is that citizen journalists I know in Taiwan have pressed the government on this and they've gone to parliament and it's all on record, and they've said 'Have these (...) digital contact tracing or cell phone surveillance things been useful?' And the governments said "Only in one case.... Only in one case was this sort of mass surveillance approach been useful', so they've actually been honest with the people... But at the end of the day it does teach us that even the most progressive governments are going to be lured by the sirens call of using surveillance to tackle problems." - Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer HRF.org

In Today's discussion we'll briefly talk about some of the knock-on, or second order affects which the coronavirus disruption is having on our world today, and which may continue into the future. Then for the meat of the show we'll dig into specific areas where bitcoin could, or perhaps is being improved with the creator of one of the most impactful peer to peer technologies in the world today. Shownotes for LTB! #433 Topic 1 - Second Order Impacts of Coronavirus Lockdowns Social distancing and the revenge of the Hikikomori Coronavirus second order effects It’s an extroverts world but we’re all introverts this month The AOL moment for Zoom meetings and arguing the potato Interpersonal compression, zoomers and enforced quality time Will overall deaths go down because of pandemic lockdowns? The end of “Bus Mode” for Lyft and Uber Autonomous vehicles, grocery deliveries and the last mile problem Tampons, cocktail sausages and a very weird month This episode is sponsored by eToro A friendly government delivery service? Opportunities in sterilization and social changes that’ll last Automated cleansing cycles and Far-UVC Internet infrastructure, Netflix social signaling and the recycling dilemma Masks, headphones and the changing standard of social isolation
TOPIC 2 - How the creator of BitTorrent thinks he’s created a less wasteful, more distributed, more secure approach to Nakamoto Consensus Decentralized systems and the critical success of BitTorrent Naming projects, vegetables and a list of grains Proof of Space and Time Warehouses of computers, competitive money burning and Keynesian stimulus Proof of Work works and that’s a huge accomplishment, but could be better Centralization, Nakamoto consensus and Proof of Stake Moats and losing the battle with ASIC-hard consensus algorithms “Grinding attacks” as the competitive strategy Fundamental economics, storage capacity and the loophole Airdrops for something over-resourced and under-provisioned Losing money on buying “farming” hardware The early days of bitcoin mining with CPUs Power and CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs Hard Drives ,hard drives, hard drives and hard drives Storing data as proof, but not people's data is like Proof of Work; the work isn’t useful, it’s just a measuring stick that doesn’t need your name or a long term commitment Printing lottery tickets with ASICs vs. a hard drive full of bingo cards Proofs of Space need Proofs of Time Less wasteful by using an underutilized resource More distributed because excess hard drive capacity is already distributed and there is no “ASIC” equivalent possible for hard drives. Just better or faster hard drives More secure because less wasteful and more distributed equal better security in distributed consensus Breaking, tweaking and proving proofs of time and space Miners don’t run data centers UTXOs, message passing on-chain programming environments and walking a fine line between Bitcoin and Ethereum Rate limiting wallets and reversible paper wallets Improving colored coins Decentralized exchange doesn’t need decentralized exchanges Farming, pre-farming, farming rewards and trailing emissions Why pre-farm? Is it viable to farm with AWS? Carrying hundred dollar bills and Chia’s business model involves loaning Tokens To Large International Companies Covenants replicate many banking system benefits without requiring banks or centralization Complexity, Bitcoin Script and Protocol Level Improvements This episode was sponsored by eToro.com, with music by Jared Rubens, Gurty Beats and Adam B. Levine. Today's show featured Bram Cohen, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine with editing by Jonas.
In the aftermath of the so-called "Black Thursday" crash from several weeks ago, MakerDAO's "DAI" ethereum backed dollar pegged stablecoin came untethered and was, for a time at least, functionally insolvent. In the aftermath, holders of the MKR token which allows holders to participate in governance decisions opted to do a couple of things, including adding the centralized stablecoin USDC to the list of acceptable collateral, which drew both condemnations mostly around centralized risk being added to the system and praise for making the system more robust against sudden ETH collateral price crashes.
And now most recently, the Maker Foundation which had held some centralized control over the protocol completed their long-planned exit with all authorities now transferred to the holders of MKR tokens, removing both a point of control which had been used as a safety check and a point of risk in that centralized control can be co-opted and used to disrupt a system as we've seen in other examples.
On today's show we're digging into:
What is Decentralized Finance (DeFi)? How does decentralized finance differ from traditional banking? Fractional reserve vs over-collateralized loans Liberty Dollars’s missing collateral and USDC’s risky name MakerDAO, DAI dollar-pegged stablecoins and how this DeFi stablecoin actually works SDAI (Single Collateral DAI) vs. DAI (Multi Collateral DAI) Smart contract ‘vaults’ Lending money to yourself: 150%, 300%, insurance and auctions What happened on ‘Black Thursday’ as the price of Ether dropped more than 50% What happened when transaction fees went through the roof A bug in the collateral auction smart contract A surprising crash: as the system became functionally insolvent the price of the dollar pegged stablecoin actually went up. Oasis.app vaults are transparent and pretty interesting, take a look! Loaning yourself money using your ether (at interest) How MakerDAO’s approach differs from SALT Lending The other half of the DAI system: saving vault smart contracts DAI Saving Rate (DSR) and the new certificate of deposit The reward for using MKR tokens to administer a good system Can savings vaults be liquidated? Smart contract risks, consensus risks, systemic risks and response time risks Sponsors: eToro.com and Purse.io What specifically went wrong with the auction smart contracts? Recapitalizing the system by diluting MKR governance stakeholders Even with bugs, market mechanisms to fill the solvency hole seemed to work better than government bailout equivalents. Completing the transition from foundation-overseen to full tokenized governance. Decentralization transition - A necessary step or a natural one? Single collateral vs. Multi-collateral stablecoins Why would a decentralized stablecoin want to allow a centralized stablecoin for collateral? External political risks vs. internal technological risks “Life finds a way” and DeFi’s natural circuit breakers (also Mt.GOX) Whats the point of putting USDC in to get DAI out? How does DeFi stablecoin insurance work? A modular ecosystem How DeFi and traditional finance are similar DeFi vs. 2nd layer protocols See also: Bailouts, Bitcoin, Disruption, Failures and Hope

From Boeing to Bitcoin in this week's discussion we're talking about our disrupted reality, the politically expedient path forward, why it almost certainly won't work, the alternatives to it, what this means for bitcoin and what you can do to help.
On today's episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin we're discussing the coming bailout-everything regime in a topic that's both extremely timely but is also what originally forced many long-term bitcoin enthusiasts to learn about money and become interested in cryptocurrency originally.
As much of the world on an almost uniform and bipartisan basis shuts down to slow the spread of COVID19 and prepares to bail out first financial markets and now basically everything that can't work on a fully remote basis, we're talking about crisis, bailouts, the limits of monetary policy and the real possibility that it's not a straw that breaks the back of our money but rather the whole world suddenly jumping on.
This episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin is sponsored by eToro.com
On today's show we'll discuss:
The growing bipartisan and global shutdown then bailout everything movement The alternative to the bailout path we're on The inability of even extraordinary monetary policy to resolve these issues and the markets growing cognitive dissonance The revival of the "system is breaking and when it does we'll need something new that doesn't share the same problems of being vulnerable to politically expedient over-reactions" narrative that, frankly, drove my initial interest in bitcoin in the first place. And more...
On today's podcast we're joined by early investor and entrepeneur David Johnston to discuss:
A new "consensus based" alternative to "reserve based", "game theory based", or trusted oracle based Stablecoins
The growing relevance of DeFi even for those who aren't using it
Johnston's Law six years later, how far we've come and real reasons for optimism on the decentralized evolution of everything.

Earlier this week the Let's Talk Bitcoin! Show gathered to discuss catalysts and CEOS in the world of blockchain projects, the organizational and organic structures of decentralization and to wonder whether crypto even needs Satoshi-like catalysts now that the fire of blockchain burns bright.
On today's podcast we continue the discussion, applying concepts and stories from "The Spider and the Starfish: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations", a formational book on pre-blockchain decentralization written in the early 2000's, as the centralized US military struggled to effectively dispatch a much smaller decentralized force in Afghanistan. While the battlefield is different, the insight is perhaps even more relevant to the world of blockchain projects, their decentralized origins and ambitions.

Earlier this week, the Let's Talk Bitcoin! Show gathered to discuss the US tax treatment of "Virtual Currencies" and how scams find a home wherever opportunity exists, at least for a while.
This episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin! is sponsored by Brave.com, eToro.com and Purse.io.
During our first segment, we'll discuss: Virtual Currency Tax Fairness Act of 2020: The proposed legislation would exempt capital gains taxes if any individual transaction results in a capital gain of $200 or less. Previous versions of the bill proposed a $600 cap. If passed, it would take effect in the 2020 tax year. Link - H.R. 5635
The IRS has a question for you: Tax filers in the U.S. are being asked if At any time during 2019, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency? Link -IRS Form 1040
Yang proposes "Digital Asset Regulation": U.S. Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang wants to Clarify the tax implications of owning, selling, and trading digital assets. Yang says clear policy will allow businesses to invest and innovate in the area without fear of a regulatory shift. Link - Yang 2020
Later on, we'll dig into the "why" of scams as we begin a longer conversation on the topic.
Three main points on scams:
Ponzi schemes thrive in disrupted spaces with uncertainty, poor credentialing, and poorly understood complexity
The crypto currency space has these attributes
The underlying appeal of ponzi scams (and bitcoin) comes from the mythology of redemption, getting something from nothing, the genie in the bottle, etc
In “Libre Not Libra: Facebook’s Blockchain Project,” Andreas answers the burning question… Has he tried haggis? Just kidding… He shares his thoughts on the recently released Libra whitepaper, as part of a permissioned blockchain project spearheaded by Facebook.

Years of jokes about “FaceCoin” and “ZuckBucks” have finally come to life – sort of. In a previous episode, he talked about how some venture capitalists are monkeying around by downplaying the killer applications of open blockchains in favor of… bananas. Now he makes us wonder whether Libra will even survive to become a production network. Is Silicon Valley coming for banking? Will Libra’s challenges have any impact on open public blockchains?
This talk took place on June 19th 2019 at the Scottish Blockchain Meetup in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Earlier this week, the Let's Talk Bitcoin! show enlisted CoinDesk reporter Leigh Cuen and early cypherpunk Zooko Wilcox for a conversation on the history, challenges and long term development path of early, formative technologies. which we often hear modern blockchain movements compared against.
From the pre-internet days, through the free/open-source movement, Linux successes, and challenges on the desktop, the peer-to-peer movement, cypherpunks, Linux maximalism, fundamentalism as a concept as well as some brief excursions through some history and politics of the time... Later, we'll discuss how AI and lawyers have more in common than you'd think, and what kind of protections we may need as autonomous agents become ubiquitous.

Hey folks, Adam B. Levine here with a brief update on LTB!. With 2020 dawning, we're coming up on year 8 of the Let's Talk Bitcoin! show, and, frankly, we've done a lot of talking in that time. In the early days we did a lot of interviews, but with the commercialization of the space, then ICOs, and now a world where there are literally thousands of blockchain projects hoping to strike it rich, we quickly became uncomfortable as the original nerd-money with its idealists became the world of pitches and marketers. Without many interviews, as the years passed the show has become more inward-looking, as we explored our personal passions and perspectives. Perspective and personal context are arguably the thing I think is most important about what the show is, and what it's good at doing, and we'd like to build on that this year. So in 2020, we want to do something a little different, and add more perspectives to the show without adding more permanent hosts. We're looking for up to four listeners to join the Let's Talk Bitcoin! team as junior producers, you don't have to be a long-time listener to participate, all that's required of a good candidate is that you are knowledgable about the space, paying attention to events as they happen, and have an opinion, a perspective, on what it all means or might mean. Junior producers will be asked to write up and send in a monthly report of the most important, most under-appreciated, most misunderstood, or other such personal judgments about the world of crypto. You'll also be asked to join me on a monthly call to discuss your report, and make sure I understand your perspectives correctly. All told, for the right candidate, this work and follow-up meeting should take no longer than five hours per month. And this is a paid role. To apply, send an email to Adam@ltbshow.com
Let's Talk Bitcoin! is back with new episodes next week, thanks for listening.
On Today's episode of let's talk bitcoin, we're listening to echoes of the past. In the midst of the biggest bubble yet, finding ourselves in the "then they laugh at you" phase, and with the china narrative rising for the first time as trade volumes overtook the rest of the world, I was joined by Stephanie Murphy and Andreas M. Antonopoulos in early 2014 for a conversation that is very different, yet somehow the same as we reacted in real time to all-time high prices of $220,
But first, In the nearly seven years since we started talking Bitcoin, my favorite segment from my favorite writer is without question, the island of stone bitcoins by then-LTB managing editor George Ettinger. Bitingly funny and still one of the easiest ways to accurately explain how blockchains and tokens work without the need for technology at all, even if you know this story you'll learn a thing or two, at least I did.
This episode is sponsored by Brave.com and eToro.com, and is distributed in partnership with CoinDesk.com
On todays show, we discuss the idea of true privacy on public, transparent blockchains and some of the ways it's working (or not) in Bitcoin or related projects right now.

Tune in next week for our conversation about reserve currency transitions with a special guest.
On Today's Episode, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine are back with part two of our recent live show recorded at BTC2019 in front of a live studio audience. This time, we've got nearly an hour of audience Q&A. Enjoy the show!
This episode was sponsored by http://edge.app
Selected Excerpts from this episode provided by senior listener ProfessorMeo_W(https://twitter.com/ProfessorMeo_w)
Stephanie Murphy: “Do you think Bitcoin will be able to shift from block rewards to transaction fees to maintain security as the block reward approaches zero?”
Andreas M. Antonopoulos: “This is one of the fundamental misunderstandings and dynamics of mining for most people, which is the idea that something suddenly happens sometime at an undescribed future, either at the next halving or in 2141. The truth is on a daily basis, every single miner in the industry looks at six or seven different factors: the efficiency of their mining equipment, the price of electricity in their local fiat, the cost of their operation system, the current price of Bitcoin in fiat, the reward that's available as a block subsidy, the average amount of fees they can get, and the relative proportion of hashing power. They decide based on all of these factors. Do I leave this specific machine on at its current efficiency, or do I turn it off, or do I point it to another coin? That happens every single day. Every single day that decision continues, it’s rebalancing all of these dynamic factors. So the shift between block subsidy and fees happened every single day since January 3rd 2009 and it continues to happen today.
Sometimes, the capacity of the blockchain, the number of transactions that are in there, the value of the fees mean that it really attracts miners because there's a lot of fees to take. Other times, the fees decrease, the number of transactions decreases, so they're now more reliant on block subsidy and then it swings back and forth and back and forth. It's gonna oscillate in that way all the way to 2141.
Stephanie Murphy: “What does everybody's view on Rootstock (RSK)?”
Andreas M. Antonopoulos: I don't think Rootstock is putting smart contracts on Bitcoin. Rootstock is allowing you to use Bitcoin to pay for smart contracts on the Rootstock Drivechain, which you could theoretically do by shifting money into Ethereum. In fact, recently I saw someone who had built a gateway that allowed you to make a Lightning payment that terminated in an Ethereum contract. So there's many ways to bridge different blockchains together. Quite honestly, I don't think we should be doing smart contracts on Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't do smart contracts, and it doesn't do smart contracts because it does security. That's not a trade off I think is worth doing. It's much better to leave that to a chain that has a much more experimental culture and can take bigger risks. As to whether we can do smart contracts, that's not a binary question; it's a question of value. So can we do smart contracts that can keep $1,000,000 secure? Yes. $10,000,000? Maybe. $100,000,000? No, the DAO proved that. How about now? DAI is doing more, so maybe yes. So it's basically a moving front. As the the maturity of the smart contract ecosystem expands, we can do bigger and bigger stakes (no pun intended) within the smart contract ecosystem. Every now and then there's gonna be a fairly catastrophic failure that's gonna cause a regression in the amounts of money that's put in them. But essentially it's growing. We're proving this every day, and it's the same thing with Bitcoin. The way you measure security in a smart contract or you measure security in a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is how secure is Bitcoin? X billion dollars. That's the stake that is sitting on it right now, unhacked so far.

On Todays Episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin...
Adam B. Levine explores AB1489 or "The California Bitlicense" and AB953 "or The California Stablecoin Cannabis Taxation Bill" through a series of short interviews on various sides of the issues.
First, we speak to Colin Gallagher, a longtime community member in California who shares his concerns about the process and substance of both the bills we're discussing today.
Next, Peter Van Valkenburgh joins us from Coincenter for his perspective on why the California Bitlicense is a de-regulating bill, why they help craft good legislation for those states who want it, and more.
We close today's show with Alexandra Medina, Mayor of Emeryville, California, executive director of BlockAdvocacy.org and a relative newcomer to Bitcoin. Ally tells us what AB953 and the option to remit taxes in stablecoins could mean to the cash-rich but unbankable California Cannabis industry.

Stephanie Murphy, Andreas Antonopoulos, and Adam B. Levine sit down for part two of our fresh look at the nascent but rapidly improving Lightning Network.
Selections from Episode 390 Curated and Transcribed by https://twitter.com/Sesame4Bitcoins
Lightning Network Capacity
Adam B. Levine: Right now in the Lightning Network, you can only make transactions and hold value up to a certain size. Andreas, why is that?
Andreas Antonopolous: It's to discourage people from putting too much money into something that was experimental, and also trying to do payments that are too big for most routes. The limit per payment is 4 million Satoshis (0.04 Bitcoin). The channel capacity maximum is 16.7 million Satoshis. You can create a channel for 16 million Satoshis and you can transmit payments of about 1/4 its total capacity at a time in each direction. That just prevents people from trying to use Lightning today for the types of payments that are probably best-kept on-chain.
Adam B. Levine: Do you see the Lightning Network being used for larger transactions like the traditional Bitcoin network?
Andreas Antonopolous: Eventually yes. Eventually there's no reason why you wouldn't have your entire hot wallet in Lightning channels, and the only funds that are not in Lightning channels are cold storage funds. I see it eventually having much bigger transactions - it can span the entire range from tiny to very big.

Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, and Jonathan Mohan once again join Adam B. Levine for a discussion on the theory and practice of applying international sanctions to individual bitcoin addresses. What starts as merely annoying could become much worse... or not! We talk about it.

On Todays Episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin...
Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Stephanie Murphy join Adam B. Levine for an in-depth discussion on the ups and downs of consensus reality and the two "big" methods (Proof of Work and Proof of Stake) which we use to define it.
Topic 1: Proof of Stake and Proof of Work Discussion
Topic 2: Ethereum Update and Upgrade Path
Partial transcript from about 35 minutes in...
ANDREAS M. ANTONOPOULOS: "The problem with proof of work as a system is that it's so poorly understood and it's very difficult to see what benefits it offers.... Immutability and resistance against state level colluding actors are benefits you don't really see until somebody tries to attack them. The fact that they don't attack them, in bitcoin, is not something you can celebrate because it's like proving a negative.
Another way to put it is that no one really pays attention to a surgeon until their patients start dying. It's very difficult to say 'look at how good I am because none of my patients have died lately', but it's very easy to point to the surgeon famous for performing an operation with the 300% mortality rate. He did an amputation in 25 seconds, during which he managed to also amputate some of the fingers of one of his surgery assistants... And it was such a horrific scene that one of the audience members died from shock. Then the patient and the assistant died from sepsis days later, making it the only surgery with 300% mortality rate...
Now, you can point to that and say "That's not a good surgeon" but it's very difficult to look at a surgeon and say "Well, nobody's died yet so that's a good surgeon". This is a general problem with security, because security working means that nothing bad happened. And the absence of something bad happening is not a provable thing. SO you can say that Bitcoin is secure. How do you know? well, it's hasn't been successfully attacked yet. Could it be successfully attacked? Could someone amass 51%? And we can point to examples of smaller systems which have been attacked like Classic Recently, but the problem is it's really hard to see that value. Same thing with immutability...

Postscript to "The Decentralization Itch"
I’ve been podcasting and writing about the SAFE Network for a few months now, and the inspiration for this article kept eating away at the back of my brain the whole time, till I finally put it on the page and worked with it till it was done. It was only after I’d finished it up and I was telling a friend about the subject matter that a further revelation hit me:
The inspiration driving me (and others, I think) to bring the SAFE Network to fruition is my understanding that the technology underlying the network’s design is built from the inside out with respect for Self granted to the individual user by default. That in itself is an immensely powerful thing. Add to it the fact that the technology promises to be superior in so many other ways in terms of speed, efficiency, scalability and more, and it’s hard to contemplate the effect it will have on humanity.
As I say, this is an afterthought to the article, which easily stands on its own. But I take this opportunity to encourage you to explore Project SAFE for yourself. The ramifications of the SAFE Network, and the open source technology it makes available to mankind for other applications, are more significant than I know how to communicate.
Visit safecrossroads.net, maidsafe.net, safenetwork.wiki, SAFE Crossroads Podcast feed on LetsTalkBitcoin.com and find out what it’s all about.

The LTB Companion Multi-Token Wallet
Todays episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin! is brought to you by the LTB Companion, Multi-Token Wallet available at letstalkbitcoin.com/wallet . It's a free bitcoin wallet that lives as an extension in your chrome browser which allows you to hold and use potentially thousands of different types of tokens, each in unique amounts within a single bitcoin address, whose private key never leaves your local computer.
Since the last time I updated you about the Companion, community developer Joe Looney has added Click-to-Tip for use at letstalkbitcoin.com - When you've got the wallet installed in your chrome browser, load in some BTC, LTBCOIN or any other tokens you like and when you're reading an article on the site look for the little orange LTB Tip button below the article, but above the comments.
Clicking it will launch your LTB companion in a new tab with the content creators bitcoin address and the name of the post you'd like to tip already filled in. Oh, and with Click-to-Tip you don't have to worry about sending tokens to a bitcoin address that doesn't know what they are, if the user you're sending a tip too hasn't indicated they are using a counterparty compatible wallet like the LTB companion, you'll only be able to select the tokens they're willing to accept. In the future, users will be able to also indicate what specific Counterparty tokens they're willing to accept and anyone who wants to tip them will find it's difficult but not impossible to tip with a token the receiving party doesn't actually want.
Oh and there's a little more, version 0.4.1 also adds "local parsing" to the list of useful things it'll do, when you've sent LTBCOIN or another counterparty token usually it needs at least one confirmation before the network can decode and tell you whats up. Now you can skip the wait, when you view yours or anyone elses token transactions on blockchain service Chain.so, your wallet will decode the data on the page and show you the details within seconds of your visit.
I'd like to offer a hearty round of applause and meaningful appreciation to Joe Looney for continuing to develop one of the most innovative tools I've seen yet. If you'd like to get started with the LTB Companion Multi-Token Wallet, head to letstalkbitcoin.com/wallet to get yours free today.

Stephanie, Andreas and Adam catch up on Andreas new business Third Key Solutions and Stephanies recently completed audiobook "The Book of Satoshi".
Then, Andreas breaks down the Bitcointalk.org subpoena and we devote the last half of the show to a lively debate about the Freeze feature that was added into ripple and other dollar-gateway-enabling cryptocurrencies for what might have seemed like noble reasons at the time but which might prove to be a real invitation for trouble sooner rather than later.
"...This is a solution that not only destroys the currency, but doesn't even achieve its supposed goal"

Coming Soon from Tokenly
Todays episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin is brought to you by the Tokenly project and our first product, rentable Swapbot Vending Machines. Let's say you sell coffee by the pound or web design services by the hour.
It's easy, fast and cheap to create a token on the bitcoin blockchain that YOU control with a specific name that represents your product or service and is made valuable because you will accept it for something valuable.
You'd create a COFFEEPOUND or DESIGNHOUR token and then rent a Swapbot vending machine for 5-10 dollars per month to automatically sell your new token 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You'll set the price in dollars and it'll be payable in Bitcoin and potentially LTBCOIN, Storj or other Counterparty based tokens you choose to accept
When someone with your token wants to use it for the "stuff" it represents, they go to your website, load up a shopping cart and check out. When it's time to pay, aside from the normal credit card and bitcoin payment options, our product TokenSlot adds the ability to customize and specify what tokens you accept.
If you've got an existing online or brick and mortar business and are interested in working on a pilot project to see if tokenization is right for you,
email adam@tokenly.com to start the conversation.

When it's time to pay, aside from the normal credit card and bitcoin payment options, our product TokenSlot adds the ability to customize and specify what tokens you accept.
Representing your product or service as a token is very new, the question really is why would anyone want to do this? I'll give you the bullet-point version...
-
You can allow users to achieve price stability by not forcing them to buy your product right when they need it and instead allowing them to buy whenever they want and use it at a different time when they actually need it.
-
You can create multi-tiered, automated, bulk discount and reseller programs.
-
Bitcoin blockchain security means your product can change hands as a token dozens or hundreds of times before being redeemed, you as the business don't care because you are paid in full as soon as the first person buys it.
-
You can participate in automated gift exchanges, use your tokenized product to barter or trade, and even have your product bundled with other tokens created by other businesses who make their money selling your product to new markets and different users.
As you can tell, I'm really excited about this stuff.
If you've got an existing online or brick and mortar business and are interested in working on a pilot project to see if tokenization is right for you,
email adam@tokenly.com to start the conversation.

- Adam, Andreas and Stephanie discuss improvements, trends, advantages and weaknesses as they've experianced them over the last few years. As bitcoin clients go native and adapt to the environments which surround them, are we gaining or losing?

On today's show I am honored to be speaking with a modern day American patriot, Mr. Patrick Byrne - the CEO of overstock.com. Patrick teaches us about public education in the United States and how it is sadly broken on many levels - with more money often going to administration than to our teachers and our students. Patrick also tells us the truth about the SEC. He talks to us about mobsters on Wall Street and the crooked games they've all but perfected to rob this country blind. And of course he tells us about his project to create the stock market of the future – one devoid of the criminal elements.

Have an EARLY token?
This week in the Founder Forum @loon3 proposed and built a prototype Counterparty Message Signer that works as a chrome browser extension, we liked it so much we commissioned him to build a new tool to make it unnecessary for LTB users to visit counterwallet, instead running it in their browser in the same way as Kryptokit does. If you had an EARLY token to access The Founder Forum, you could be using the first version right now!
Additionally I've (Adam) been using it as a quasi-private posting ground for some of my projects I'm not ready to put out in public yet. Yesterday I posted the fifth chapter of Bitdropped, a story about a decentralized, distributed onion-routing parcel delivery service as well as a blog post called Token Controlled Access and RSS Style Purchased and Resellable Content
EARLY tokens were given out, one each to users of LetsTalkBitcoin.com who set up a Counterwallet before September of 2014. EARLY tokens can be traded so if you want one, find an earlier user. It's a locked asset and LTB only has 13 of them left over of the total 2000 or so in circulation.

Have an EARLY token?
This week in the Founder Forum @loon3 proposed and built a prototype Counterparty Message Signer that works as a chrome browser extension, we liked it so much we commissioned him to build a new tool to make it unnecessary for LTB users to visit counterwallet, instead running it in their browser in the same way as Kryptokit does. If you had an EARLY token to access The Founder Forum, you could be using the first version right now!
Additionally I've (Adam) been using it as a quasi-private posting ground for some of my projects I'm not ready to put out in public yet. Yesterday I posted the fifth chapter of Bitdropped, a story about a decentralized, distributed onion-routing parcel delivery service as well as a blog post called Token Controlled Access and RSS Style Purchased and Resellable Content
EARLY tokens were given out, one each to users of LetsTalkBitcoin.com who set up a Counterwallet before September of 2014. EARLY tokens can be traded so if you want one, find an earlier user. It's a locked asset and LTB only has 13 of them left over of the total 2000 or so in circulation.

Adam B. Levine, the “Spiritual Grandfather” of Epicenter Bitcoin and Editor-in-Chief of Let’s Talk Bitcoin, joins us to share his “crazy” passion for information and cryptocurrency. Never shy when it comes to talking about complicated subjects, Adam divulges his ideas about the next iteration of the experimental Let’s Talk Bitcoin Network and his newly launched standalone token vending machine, SwapBot. Adam also opens up about his role as the Chief Visionary Officer of CoinPowers and why he thinks it might have ultimately failed as a project. We also get Adam’s take on the future of crowdfunding and what role he sees himself playing within the crypto community moving forward.
We covered many topics on this episode:
- The integral part Adam played in the creation of Epicenter Bitcoin
- How the Let’s Talk Bitcoin podcast show and network were born
- The Tokenly Platform
- The recent discontinuation of certain LTB Network shows
- LTBCoin and the problems it aims to solve
- Tokens Vs. cryptocurrencies
- Content monetization and crowdfunding

- Founder of Open Transactions and Monetas, long time cypherpunk Chris Odom speaks about decentralization and the OT project. OpenTransactions is not explicitly bitcoin, rather it is an interlocking piece that lets you take the very secure and difficult to censor digital token and make it more useful.
We'll have Chris Odom on as a guest-host in March so consider this your primer that will allow us to skip most of the basics and talk about the more interesting future stuff.

Today I’m pleased to announce another new Tokenly tool, now available for use on the letstalkbitcoin.com community platform. If you visit letstalkbitcoin.com/vend, or click the Buy button in the menu you’ll be taken to our LTBCOIN swapbot. A swapbot is like an automated token vending machine, you send Bitcoin or another token that is accepted to a bitcoin address and a corresponding amount of whatever you’re buying will be sent back to you.
One of the cool features we’ve built into swapbot is the ability to accept as many types of tokens at you want, each able to have a different price discount or premium associated with it, so you’ll see when you visit letstalkbitcoin.com/vend that you can buy LTBCOIN with STORJ’s coin, SWARM and Counterpartys native token, XCP in what will be a growing list. While we give big discounts to LTBCOIN because its the coin of our ecosystem, we accept newer, less popular or useful coins like the ones I just mentioned at a slight premium, 10% above the bitcoin price.
For now only official LTB administered tokens are being listed, but soon we’ll open it up. We consider this particular swapbot our automated retail outlet, mostly intended to let you trade your LTBCOIN for SPONSOR, LTBDISPLAY or my pre-paid time tokens. However since you do get the best value on anything else in our ecosystem with LTBCOIN by a substantial margin, we do offer LTBCOIN through our vending machine as well at a 20% premium to whatever the market price is. Although it’s open to whomever for use, we’d rather people trading for profit to use exchanges and contribute to the ecosystem by being part of price discovery.
If you’d like to check out our first swapbot vending machine in all its prototype glory, head to http://letstalkbitcoin.com/vend

Adam and Andreas speak with Preston Byrne and Casey Kuhlman about Eris Industries on its work.
The Distributed Application Server
The Decerver is the application server for our Distributed Application Software Stack. Using the Decerver, developers can build distributed applications which easily interact with a diverse set of blockchain and peer-to-peer protocols, all of which have been harmonized in an interactive layer that can be accessed via a JavaScript runtime. The Decerver empowers blockchain technology to become usable in a fully legally-compliant context for the first time.
Thelonious
_The Makers’ Blockchain Design_
Thelonious is Eris Industries’ customizable, smart-contract enabled, smart-contract controlled blockchain design and one component of our Distributed Application Software Stack. Derived from the Ethereum protocol, but built to meet differing design goals, Thelonious gives developers the control to define their own state-of-the-art blockchain. Thelonious is not meant to be one blockchain, but millions of them, each made for specific applications.
EPM
_The Smart Contract Package Manager_
The Eris Package Manager allows smart contract developers to deploy and test packages of smart contracts to their blockchains, and interact with them once deployed. EPM is both a tool for smart contracts and for blockchain management. It is the first developer tool explicitly built for our Distributed Application Software Stack and can be most easily analogized as git, but for blockchains.
ELM
_Putting the Contract Into Smart Contract_
The Eris Legal Markdown system is the backbone of the Distributed Application Software Stack’s legal compliance strategy. When combined with EPM and the Decerver, ELM provides an ability to link real world contractual provisions to smart contract architecture so that users will be able to benefit from the enforceability of real world contracts as well as the automation of smart contract frameworks.

Sorry about the delay on this episode, it's been storming at LTB headquarters since Friday and we had no power until Sunday morning. This episode was held a little longer because an announcement that was expected to be made prior to the release of this interview has not been made, and some content had to be trimmed to respect the ongoing embargo.

Andreas, Stephanie, Pamela Morgan and Adam speak with Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof
This episode was recorded several weeks ago, here is an update from Susanne on the progress they've made in that time.
BITNATION Update, since the day of recording the episode:
A multisig address have been set-up on 3 cold storage devices held by 3 different persons, according to the original 2-phase plan. CounterWallet integration of the multisig address is a challenge as CounterParty is still testing the multisig function for security reasons before releasing it. It’s unclear when their security audit will be finalized. In the meanwhile, we will regularly transfer funds to the multisig storage instead. The address is 3KS6AuQbZARSvqnaHoHfL1Xhm3bTLFAzoK
Financial projections can be found here - it’s currently being circulated within the community of interest, until we’ve updated the website frontend. Earlier versions of the financials projections had been circulating on our Skype chats and on our Facebook page for about 2 months, for community review and input.The entire website frontend will be updated by the end of next week with an improved sales process interface, team section, business plan, financials, Ambassador section, media section, etc.
Additional updates: After having expanded the imagination of what the blockchain could be used for with our Blockchain Wedding on October 5th, on October 24th we did another amazing event: a live demonstration of the Bitnation BlockchainID in London. It was super exciting! Christopher Ellis developed the concept and we organized the event together. You can watch the video from Crypto World Networks and you can see the tutorial here
The best part of it is that it’s a very simple process, that people can do even if they don’t have a huge amount of tech knowledge -- which is ideal in areas in the developing world where our services are needed the most. As someone who’ve spent half a decade in that sort of areas, from Afghanistan to Libya, and many other places, as an entrepreneur providing research and analysis of various aspects of governance, I know how sorely practical and voluntary solutions are needed. Which is why our next project is even more exciting: a land registry/ deed pilot. More information will be posted about it on our Facebook and Twitter feed in the following two weeks.
Another upcoming project, is implementing the beta version of Swarmops through our Ambassador Network. Since the start of Bitnation, we’ve been using Rick Falkvinge’s Swarm model, outlined in the book Swarmwise It’s the same model that was used to build the Pirate Party, which spread to more than 70 different countries -- which is a perfect fit for our Ambassador Network model -- very much one of the core USPs of Bitnaiton. To that end, we’re also going to integrate the Swarmops program (link here: https://github.com/Swarmops/Swarmops) to empower local entrepreneurs and activists in our network.

Andreas speaks with the Canadian Senates' Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce. Todays episode is the entire two hour session, the 11th in their series entitled "Study on the Use of Digital Currency"
*Background on the “Study on the use of digital currency”:
*In Canada, the public debate surrounding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is currently being formalized as the official “Study on the use of digital currency”, a consultative exercise conducted at the initiative of the Senate of Canada’s Banking, Trade and Commerce committee.
*Although the Senate of Canada exerts less authority than the House of Commons, its standing committees have proven to be an influential source of expertise and opinion. It also enjoys considerable international attention: according to Stuart Hoegner, general counsel at the Bitcoin Alliance, “no other parliamentary body in the world has publicly canvassed the breadth of materials and opinion that this committee has”.

We kick things off at Porcfest 2014, Stephanie moderates a wide ranging Women in Bitcoin panel featuring Paige Peterson, MK Lords, Tatiana Moroz and Lynn Ulbricht. This panel occupies the first half of the show.
Then, Editor-in-Chief of American Banker Marc Hochstein recently caught up with Charlie Shrem onstage at their first cryptocurrency event. They talk felonies, assumptions, and the burden of compliance on founder dependent startups.
And finally we take a step back from the obviously cryptocurrency and think a little different. At yesterdays Techcrunch Disrupt there was the obvious point of excitement around Braintree and thus Paypals upcoming acceptance, but there was another talk you might not have heard about that struck a chord with me. If all you want is bitcoin, don't listen to the final conversation between EV Williams, Walter Isaacson as moderated by Matthew Panzarino.

The Five Forum Posts promotion still has one more weekly distributions totalling nearly 2 million LTBc remaining, so sign up today!
At Letstalkbitcoin.com we’re cranking out content like crazy, the writer interface is available to anyone with an account and we immediately were flooded with more content our system could properly deal with. Andrew from the upcoming CryptoForChange blog has taken over as managing editor, and we’re designing the new editorial system. Head over to the forums to check it out and join the conversation, or get involved!
We’re in full development mode! Things are changing quickly on the site, giving a post or comment a “like” now rewards the recipient with a small amount of Proof of Participation. Each week, all the proof of participation points are added up and then the total amount of LTBcoin that are awarded to the audience are divided based on each community members participation.
So that means that giving someone a like is sort of like nudging the game just a little bit in their favor. You can only like any post a single time, and every time you do that person has their Participation score improved a little which increases their share and reduces it for everybody else.
I’m taking the time to explain this to you in detail because I’d like you to recognize that it is a nice thing to do for a person, but it also comes at a cost to the community. So have fun!
We have some development roles where you can help us build the platform out faster and secure your stake of LTBc while they’re new and poorly understood. Thanks for listening

Music for todays show was provided by Jared Rubens and General Fuzz the LTBnetwork is becoming the platform I’ve hoped much faster than I thought, dozens of people have jumped in and are creating projects. We’ve offered and filled several development roles that grant you compensation in LTBc and in general you can expect both more content and better technology very very soon. We’re preparing to do a pilot episode of our new gameshow Name That Blockchain, which for now must remain a little mysterious - If you think you can identify altcoins based on clues given faster than the other team, find a partner and send an email to apply@letstalkbitcoin.com
The Five Forum Posts promotion still has another two weekly distributions totalling nearly 5 million LTBc remaining, so sign up today!
Magic Words is still on schedule, I hope we’ll try it out together on the next episode although my desire is not always the limiting factor in our progress. We recieved feedback on the forums that 48hrs from the release of an episode was too little time, so we’re going to expand it to four days or about as much time as there is between episodes of the LTB show.
What do you think of these updates? What do you think of what we’re doing? Head over to the forums letstalkbitcoin.com and earn LTBc for expressing your opinion and adding to the conversation.

Show Notes for Episode #19: Bots Gone Wild & QuickCoin!
Today is June 9th 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 19 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
On today’s show Lij and I get Tokyo on the line to talk with Jon Southurst. Jon is a business-tech and economic development writer who discovered bitcoin in early 2012. His work has appeared in numerous blogs, UN development appeals, and Canadian & Australian newspapers. Based in Tokyo for a decade, Jon is a regular at bitcoin meetups in Japan and likes to write about any topic that straddles technology and world-altering economics. Jon tells us about the mysteries of Mt. Gox and the Bots that aren’t talking.
We also take a trip to Baghdad By The Bay (San Francisco) for a talk with Marshall Hayner of QuickCoin.co. Marshall tells us how Quick Coin may just be the easiest way in the world to send bitcoin to friends and family using Facebook. He also turns us on to the idea of a Bitcoin Fair via BitcoinFair.org - a project that sounds both educational and like a whole lotta of fun!
So stay right here for more from Bitcoins and Gravy.

Show Notes for Episode # 18: Silver Bullets and the 5th Beatle
Today is June 2nd 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 18 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
On today’s show Lij and I speak with Stephen Macaskill of Amagi Metals. Stephen talks to us about the value of Gold, the value of Bitcoin, and how a Silver Bullet may not save your life, but may be good to have around anyway. Stephen also introduces us to a word that promises to replace the overused word “awesome”. Yes it’s true folks - Crypto is changing our world, but Crypto is also now an adjective! Don’t miss this interview – it’s totally Crypto!
We also get to talk with Eddie Corral and Cédric Cobban of Bitshares Music for an introduction to what’s to come as they offer us a sneak peek at a new music platform that just might give iTunes and Amazon a run for their money, or a run for their bitcoins anyway! Hop on the tour bus and join the band next time you listen to your favorite music. Bitchares Music lets you become the fifth Beatle!

Show Notes for Episode # 18: Fun with the News & Sovereign Living Bitcoin Episode
SovereignBTC #18 TatianaCoin and the Promise of Bitcoin 2.0
On the latest episode of SovereignBTC, we chat with Tatiana Moroz and Adam B. Levine about the soon to be released TatianaCoin, a token intended to provide rewards and perks to Tatiana’s fans who support her music. The new coin hopes to turn the music industry upside down, circumventing the record labels and putting the power right in the hands of the artists and the fans. We use TatianaCoin to introduce a broader discourse on the roll Bitcoin 2.0 and MetaCoins are playing and will play in disrupting the status quo of monopoly and control.
Learn more about TatianCoin here: http://tatianacoin.com/

Show Notes for Episode # 17: Solar Power & World’s Smallest Computer
Today is May 26th. 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 17 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community. On today’s show Lij and I travel to Tel Aviv, Israel to speak with Nissan Bahar. Nissan is one of the core developers of Keepod – a simple and inexpensive technology that may be able to help bridge the “digital divide” that we see in the world today. Together we discover that there are over five billion people – that’s two thirds of the world's population – who still do not have access to a computer or a smartphone. Hey people . . . that’s a lot of people! We also continue our “To The Sun” series as we talk with Solarcoin’s very own Nick Gogerty, the Founder of Solarcoin. Nick wrote the white paper on Solarcoin and he’s just the guy we’ve been waiting to talk with to get the final details on the Solarcoin project and what we can expect to see in the years ahead. The future definitely looks bright for Solarcoin AND for Solar Energy. You know maybe it really is time we started paying more attention to that massive flaming ball of nuclear energy in the sky. After all it really is our very own naturally occurring nuclear power plant. Oh yeah but without the associated nuclear problems like nuclear waste and Fukushima style meltdowns.
So stay right here for more from Bitcoins and Gravy.

The Beyond Bitcoin LTB debut
Hey everybody, Adam B. Levine here - Let's Talk Bitcoin! is proud to add another show to our lineup - Meet Arthur Falls, based in New Zealand and host of the Beyond Bitcoin show. On this show you're going to hear about only the bleeding edge of the cryptocurrency movement with interviews from the leaders in the space and more to come as the show matures.
We start with a quick rundown of the assets on the fresh NXT asset exchange then move on to a delightfully in depth discussion of the state of the Bitshares project between Dan Larimer and the community. Hint: big changes and breaking new ground.
Despite being posted in my name, the tip address on this post goes straight to Arthur. https://blockchain.info/address/1Dy8TtQvc9W7WqdowN4avVtnLDu3VLJch9
Enjoy the show!
We start todays show with Cody Wilson, a proud anarchist in his own right who over the last year has spent more and more time with Amir. At Bitcoin Expo Toronto, Cody gave a wide ranging talk called Light and Dark that provides his perspective. I don’t know Cody personally, but his demeanor strikes me as that of an anthropologist who had discovered a hidden culture that has its own norms and rituals, and simply chose to join them rather than go back.
Then, I sat down with Amir for an intimate chat about discovering lifes meaning, about the honor and duty of having the skills to perform good work at a time when it is needed.
Thanks to BraveTheWorld and CanAwareness for the recordings, and to the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada for putting on the event.

SovereignBTC Episode 16 – Beck on Bitcoin & Back in the Mines
On the latest edition of SovereignBTC, we play for you the Bitcoin roundtable that took place on Glenn Beck TV featuring Jefferey Tucker, Kristov Atlas, and Elizabeth Ploshay. The conversation was stimulating and seen by millions. It was definitely a win for Bitcoin. We then dig deeper, chatting with Jeffrey Tucker about his thoughts on the panel as well his insights on Bitcoin and overcoming crypto-currency objections.
Finally, we bring you another informative edition of “In to the Mines” featuring the latest news from the mining world including a bit on FinCen regulations as they relate to the renting of mining equipment, we cover some bad news for Butterfly Labs, and an exclusive interview with the editor of Bitcoin Magazine, Ruben Alexander, about the collaborative effort to put together a Miner’s Manifesto. To close the program, we share with you an interview I did with my good friend Pat Butler about bitcoin mining, the ever increasing hashrate, and some advice for new miners on not getting burned.
We hope you enjoy the show!

Show notes and links:
First, a listener calls us out, asking, why do we bother bleeping? Banks are shutting down accounts (https://news.vice.com/articles/is-the-doj-forcing-banks-to-terminate-the-accounts-of-porn-stars?trk_source=homepage-in-the-news) of adult film actors and other legal businesses. Three guesses what we propose as a solution. DarkWallet Alpha version is out. Is this the solution to greater financial privacy? (https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet) A poll shows that half of people are unhappy with where they live, but fewer than 20% plan to actually move: http://www.gallup.com/poll/168770/half-illinois-connecticut-move-elsewhere.aspx MIT students are getting free bitcoins: http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/29/mits-bitcoin-club-to-give-100-in-btc-to-every-student/ Without government, who will build the roads? Maybe this guy, and it will have solar panels: http://themindunleashed.org/2014/04/solar-roadways-installs-energy-harvesting-parking-lot.html Finally, we discuss the important topic of weird body things that may or may not be associated with sexual proclivities: http://www.nerve.com/love-sex/what-your-body-types-says-about-you-sex-life-according-to-science Did you hear about The Squatty Potty?

Show Notes for Episode # 13: BTC Treasure Hunting & Kouchlock Productions
Today is April 28th. 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 13 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
On today’s show Lij and travel to Argentina where we meet up for a glass of wine with Emiliano Velazquez of Coinding. Emeliano turns us on to the very cool world of Bitcoin Treasure Hunting via CoinDing! A scavenger hunt where you become one of the players and venture out into the real world to find hidden Bitcoins. Lij and I have decided to give up the podcast and become Bitcoin treasure hunters. Well not really, but it sure is tempting!
Next we travel to Spokane Washington on the magic bus where we have a very groovy conversation with Washington State’s very first Marijuana licensee, Sean Green of Kouchlock Productions. Sean tells us about the trials and tribulations of being a marijuana pioneer, about being rejected by Coinbase and about his search for a bank courageous enough to have him as a customer. Sean also provides some very interesting sound effects to stimulate your imagination.

Today is April 21st. 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 12 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
On today’s show Lij and I travel to Wall Street in the city so nice they named it twice - New York, New York. While there, we enjoy a lively conversation with our good friend, Wall Street Journal reporter Paul Vigna. Paul once again gives us the low down on where Bitcoin stands in the Big Apple and where we can expect to see it going in the coming months.
Next we travel to the bustling streets of Ft. Green, New York for a talk with business owner Dan Lee whose family owns 7 successful businesses that all accept Bitcoin! Dan gives us some insight into how easy it is for a small business to accept Bitcoin and how it really doesn’t even make sense NOT to!

Shownotes for Episode 11 of the new Ed & Ethan’s Bitcoin Report
Ethan takes the reigns and immediately consumes the first six and a half minutes of the show with a technical malfunction. Ed was probably slow clapping in the distance with a disappointed look on his face. After the technical snafu, Ethan takes the opportunity to go solo on how people percieve Bitcoin and why he’s so anti-regulation.
After the break, Ethan connects with Cameron Ruggles, the creator of BitWasp, to talk to him about his open sourced project that will give anyone the keys to an online marketplace focused on privacy and security. Cameron is utilizing features of the Bitcoin Protocol to bring new functionality to marketplace users and operators that make the old way of doing things far less competitive for those who are concerned with their privacy and informational security.

Show Notes for Episode # 11: More GREAT Platforms and Apps to make Bitcoin Life a Little Easier for All of Us: Coinjabber, Bit.co.in, SpendBitcoins.com, Coinsplit.io
Today is April 14th. 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 11 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
On today’s show we talk with James Roten and Nima Mahdjour, the brainpower duo behind the very popular Coinjabber.com, a rating and review platform that’s helping to strengthen the Bitcoin community in countless ways. They also tell us about another exciting new innovation called bit.co.in – a convenient way to shorten your bitcoin address safely and securely using the Namecoin blockchain.
Next we travel down under to the land of kangaroos, wallabies and cookoo birds.
For a quick but informative discussion with Jeremy West, the founder of SpendBitcoins.com. We learn more about building a Bitcoin community and bringing merchants and consumers together.
Our final stop is Russia where we speak with Ivan – the developer of Coinsplit - a unique way to split bitcoin payments.
For more about Coinsplit visit coinsplit.io to set up a sharing address. Be advised that We do not recommend sending large amounts of bitcoin to coinsplit in single payments!
This is a tool that can split incoming payments that briefly live on the coinsplit wallet and therefore is open to miss use. It can also take up to 30 minutes for the amount to appear in the Coinsplit wallet. However as with all Bitcoin wallets the transactions are transparent and the history of the wallet can be inspected by anyone.
While Coinsplit can be very useful for splitting smaller amounts where the risk of loss is not significant and the sent amounts are distributed quickly. it should not be considered a safe place for large amounts. Also you can make the distributions public or private and name each destination wallet address as well.
At The Toy Box Studio we have created a series of Stereo Sessions videos with donation addresses that split tip shares between the studio and artists. You can also find the splitting addresses at the Coinsplit public scheme here. If you enjoy the music then please consider tipping the artists in support, and thank you!
Thanks for listening to Bitcoins and Gravy and enjoy the show!

SovereignBTC Episode 11 – Bitcoin, Banks, and Bailouts
I was invited to participate in a panel at the Texas Libertarian Party Convention called Bicoin, Banks, and Bailouts. The panel was all about Regulation, the future of Bitcoin, and the value of using decentralized peer to peer technologies. In this edition of the SovereignBTC podcast, we bring you the panel discussion in its entirety as well as a few conversations I had while at the convention.
On the first day of the convention I ran in to Harlan Deitrich, owner of Brave New Books, the first brick and mortar in the state of Texas to accept Bitcoin. We chat about retail integration, cold storage, and more.
Then I had the chance to speak with Ben Swann of the Truth in Media Project. We talked Bitcoin, freedom, and free markets.
Before the event ended, I caught up with Matthew Whittington, a Bitcoin entrepeneur who is developing a Texas Bitcoin exchange. We talk about the regulation involved and his decision to accept 7 other crypto currencies in addition to Bitcoin.
Finally, we bring you the panel Bitcoin, Banks, and Bailout, which featured Ben Swann moderating, Michael Cargill of Central Texas Gun Works, Dr. Lucas Rentschler, and yours truly. It was a great discussion and I'm glad I can present it to you.
It was a great convention and as is the case at most conferences and events these days, Bitcoin was a great topic of discussion amongst the attendees. Big thanks to the Texas LP leadership for inviting me to speak.
Remember, use Bitcoin, live free, and prosper.

Shownotes for Let’s Talk Bitcoin Episode 99 – Sidechain Innovation
My name is Adam B. Levine, and today we’ve got a long one. In December, Andreas sat down with Dr. Adam Back, creator of the Hash Cash concept that Satoshi built Bitcoin on top of. One of the things that struck me about that interview was the concerns held by Dr. Back over digital scarcity, the idea that other cryptocurrencies dilute the value of bitcoin by offering the same services but expanding the supply of tokens able to perform that service.
Altcoins have been described as the experimental laboratory of the cryptocurrency world But what if you could have an Altcoin ecosystem that offered the innovation, but was still at its core Bitcoin?
I ran into Adam again at the Coinsummit event along with long time entrepreneur Austin Hill - Over our long conversation they share their breakthrough, its implications and what comes next.

SovereignBTC Episode 10 – In to the Mines
On Episode 10 of SovereignBTC, we present the first edition of a new SovereignBTC segment called, In to the Mines. It’s all about Bitcoin mining, the industry, the game, and the true value of Bitcoin mining as it relates to the integrity of the network as a whole. On this week’s In to the Mines, we take a look at the new 1TH class of Bitcoin miners, we explore the wild world of Scrypt multi-pools, and we cover some of the backlash coming out of the inter-webs over the recent IRS classification of Bitcoin.
Next we hit you with this week’s quote of the week, this time from a user on /r/Bitcoin.
Finally, we play a speech delivered by Jefferey Tucker at the recent Texas Bitcoin Conference. It’s all about the amazement of Bitcoin and how extraordinary it is that this technology exists. Jefferey talks about the implications Bitcoin has for disrupting the status quo.

Yet another reason to date a hacker - Arduino controlled, um, personal massagers! Were you wondering why your phone was overheating? It might be part of a crypto mining botnet. A listener reports that a tantalizing tweet from a bitcoin meetup with burlesque dancers has ignited a twitter war. We give our take. Lightbulb drama! We heat up the planet with a segment about climate change, recycling, and Carbon Coin. Who has higher risk of cancer, allergies, and heart attacks - carnivores or vegetarians?

Shownotes for Episode 9 of the new Ed & Ethan’s Bitcoin Report
Tonight on Ed and Ethan's Bitcoin Report, we sat down for an interview with Dr. Michael Frank, Associate in Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, He is a mathematician, and crypto investor. We had the opportunity to pick his brain about Bitcoin past and future, as well as getting some EXCELLENT investment advice. We really wish we had more time with him on the show!
In the second segment we got to talk with Scott Robinson, who is the founder of Silicon Valley's "Plug and Play Bitcoin Incubator". We were lucky enough to chat with Scott about his work there, the promising start-ups going thru his incubator, and how he is helping to cushion those start-ups from tempestuous sea of government regulation. https://angel.co/plug-and-play-bitcoin

Show Notes for Episode #9 – Solar Coins, 10,000 Bitcoins and much more!
Today is March 31st. 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 9 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
On Today’s show we visit Sunny Los Angeles for a chat with Laura Saggers (http://laurasaggers.com/), writer of the hit single Ten Thousand Bitcoins (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIsZyg8OXlI). Laura talks with us about the essence of love and the true meaning of wealth. She sings praises for the positive support received as an artist in the Bitcoin community and tells us about her experiences in writing a Bitcoin song and reaching out to her fans. Right after the interview, we’ll be cranking up the old Bitcoins and Gravy record player again to play you Laura’s new single!
We also have a lively conversation with Benjamin Wilson a software developer out of Charlotte, North Carolina and co-host of the blog AltcoinFever.com. Ben brings with him his friend Kelly Koeppel, an award-winning designer and the founder of the Nashville design firm k2forma, Inc (http://k2forma.com/). Kelly graciously joins in the conversation to share an outsider’s view of Bitcoin.
And finally we head up north to the province of New Brunswick in Eastern Canada where we talk with Joely Balazs (https://twitter.com/JoelyBalazs) who tells us about Solarcoin, a unique and potentially Earth changing alt coin that is being used to fund the CNBA Bitcoin Scholarship Fund (https://www.facebook.com/CNBABTCSCHOLARSHIP), a scholarship for high school students in her hometown.
Joely shares with us her insight into the pressing need to cultivate a sustainable future for Planet Earth (http://www.economicvoice.com/liborgate-dwarfed-by-geo-engineering-of-entire-planet/) by incentivizing the solar industry and the use of solar energy.

SovereignBTC Episode 9 – The Taxman Cometh
On this weeks edition of the SovereignBTC podcast we have a serious discussion about the IRS and the implications the new ruling on “virtual currencies” has on Bitcoin and your economic freedom. To help our listeners gain a better understand of the fraudulent nature of the Income Tax, we play an interview I did years ago with Joseph Bannister, former agent with IRS Criminal Division. The interview explains how most Americans don’t actually earn “income, there is nothing in the law that makes Americans liable for paying the income tax, and it explores the fact that the income tax was never Constitutionally valid and is therefore invalid. But remember, even though these three points are true, the state does not care about what is right or wrong or what is legal or illegal, they only care about stealing your money and compelling your obedience. Be safe!
We then bring you this week’s Bitcoin quote of the week, this time from Bill Miller, prominent investor and Bitcoin Bull.
Finally, we bring this weeks featured interview, this time with a twist, John Bush is the one being interviewed! John was interviewed by Jack Spirko of the Survival Podcast, who gets 100s of thousands of listens, on the topic of Bitcoin. We pick up the interview after Jack asks John what the implications of Bitcoin are for the prospects of Liberty. John and Jack then get in to everything from merchant adoption to using Bitcoin to create alternative societies.
I hope you enjoy this weeks podcast, remember use bitcoin, life free, and prosper!

Show Notes for Episode #8 – More From the Texas Bitcoin Conference
Today is March 24th. 2014 – Welcome to Episode # 8 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
When we first arrived at the conference we were fortunate to meet up with Kelly Neal the founder of CryptoWomen World Wide. Kelly is working to further Bitcoin education and career opportunities for women worldwide.
Then we met up with Brian Page, the well spoken Marketing Director for Invictus.io. Brian talks to us about Bitshares, Angel Shares and the promising future of Decentralized Autonomous Companies or DAC’s.
We also had the great pleasure of sitting down with New Jersey singer/songwriter Tatiana Moroz about her popular new Jingle, The Bitcoin Song and about her love of Bitcoin for its philosophical and political capabilities.
And finally, we caught up with our good friend Jimmy Song of Colored Coins who gave us some insight about The Search for Satoshi Nakamoto and told us about his experience as a competitor in the 2014 Texas Bitcoin Hackathon there in Austin, Texas

SovereignBTC Episode 8 – Bitcoin Meets the Austrians
On this week’s edition of SovereignBTC we bring you the Bitcoin news of the week, courtesy of theLibertyBeat.com.
We then cover TheBitMom’s (Catherine Bleish) recently published article in Bitcoin Magazine titled Currency of Compassion. It’s all about how Bitcoin is amplifying the success of charity work all throughout the country. On a related topic, we bring you an excerpt of the most recent interview from TheBitMom podcast series on Women in Bitcoin this time featuring M. K. Lords of Bitcoin Not Bombs and Sean’s Outpost. The excerpt covers a couple questions related to Megan's work with Sean’s Outpost, a Florida non-profit that provides support to the homeless in the Pensacola area.
Then we bring you a recording of an impromptu speech I delivered at the Texas Bitcoin Conference. I was asked to introduce Jefferey Tucker, and right as I was beginning, in comes conference organizer Paul Snow who tells the crowd we have to delay for 10 minutes. So, I pulled a 10 minute talk out of my behind telling why I find Bitcoin appealing and how excited I am that Bitcoin is essentially anarchy in action!
Next we hit you with this weeks quote of the week from the alleged creator of Bitcoin, Dorian Nakamoto.
And finally, we leave you with a speech recorded at the Texas Bitcoin Conference by Dr. Robert Murphy. The speech is all about the consistencies and inconsistencies between Bitcoin and Austrian Economics. Bob Murphy is an economics professor so this one is a little wonky but if you’re up for a great learning experience you won’t want to miss it! I think it’s an important conversation that needs to be had.
Thanks again for listening to the show, remember, Use Bitcoin, Live Free, and Prosper!

SovereignBTC Episode 7 - Bitcoin is what you make of it
In this episode of SovereignBTC, we explore Bitcoin from a few different perspectives. First, we share with you an excerpt from a panel discussion hosted by my lovely wife, Catherine Bleish (AKA The Bit Mom), that took place at Sunday’s 512-Bitcoin mini-conference on women in bitcoin. The conversation is lively and the women are jazzed up about Bitcoin.
512-Bitcoin, the host of the mini-conference, is a resource center for the Central Texas Bitcoin eco-system. The firm operates a telephone information help-line for all things Bitcoin related in Central Texas, publishes a blog and podcast covering news and views from the local Bitcoin scene, and they host regular educational and networking events. It’s an exciting project I’m pr oud to be a part of. We are hoping it makes it easier for Central Texas residents to get involved with Bitcoin.
Headlining the mini-conference was Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed and Unsystem. In this weeks podcast, we’re bringing you just a bit of the compelling speech he delivered to the crowd on the need to maintain and grow Bitcoin’s radical potential.
Also in attendance at the Conference was Lynn Ulbricht, mother of Ross Ulbricht, the alleged organizer of the Silk Road, an online black and gray marketplace that used bitcoin exclusively for the trading of goods and services. I was honored to meet Lynn and hear about her courageous actions to support her imprisoned son. I met up with her a couple days after the conference and recorded an intimate interview about her son Ross, the charges he is facing, and what liberty activists and bitcoin enthusiats alike can do to support him. To learn more now, visit FreeRoss.org. Remember folks, it’s not just Ross on trial right now. This case will likely set precedent on how law enforcement officials handle online sales and anonymous transactions with crypto-currencies. The long and short of it is that Ross Ulbricht, whether he is guilty of the charges he is accused of, has harmed no one. There is no victim, and in my book, no victim no crime.
To close down this weeks podcast, I read an article written in the Wall Street Journal Blog that covered the 512-Mini-conference and the roll anarchism is playing in the bitcoin movement. As Cody Wilson points out in the speech we’ll be playing later, it’s important for those who value bitcoin for the role it is playing in disrupting the status quo to make sure that message is included in the conversation. Judging by the coverage from the Wall Street Journal, I think we did just that.
Strap yourself in folks and get ready for yet another jam packed and exciting edition of the SovereignBTC podcast, your guide to the practical side of everyday Bitcoin use.

Show Notes for Episode #7 – Texas Bitcoin Conference
bitcoinsandgravyfull
Today is March 17th, 2014 – Welcome to Episode 7 of Bitcoins and Gravy, a weekly show about anything and everything having to do with Bitcoins and the Bitcoin community.
We are John Barrett and Lij Shaw – two Bitcoin enthusiasts who love to talk about Bitcoin and share what we learn with you the listener.
In the first of two shows from our trip out West to Austin, Texas, we feature some great interviews with some of the great minds and innovators in the Bitcoin Community.
First we sit down for a chat with Anthony Di Iorio, Executive Director of the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada(http://www.bitcoinalliance.ca/). In this information packed interview, Anthony tells us about Bitcoin Decentral(http://bitcoindecentral.ca/), a global hub for disruptive technology innovation in the heart of downtown Toronto.
He also shares with us some exciting up and coming tech innovations including the Crypto Kit Wallet (with a little help from Yelp) and the Mantra One – the world’s first Bitcoin Wallet that you can wear like a wristwatch. And finally, Anthony extends an invitation to everyone in the Bitcoin community to come to Toronto for the Bitcoin Expo 2014 (http://bitcoinexpo.ca/). This event takes place April 11th – 13th and among the many great speakers at the Expo, will feature Bitcoins own Andreas Antonopoulos as the Master of Ceremonies!
We also get to speak with Kyle Kurbegovitch, the charismatic host of our favorite video podcast, cointalk.ca (http://cointalk.ca/) as he tells us about the Ethereum Project (https://www.ethereum.org/) and his involvement in this exciting new technology.
Then Lij goes for a run with the Bitcoin runner Jason King of Bitcoin Across America (http://bitcoinacrossamerica.com/) who at the time of the interview was 1132 miles into his run from Miami to San Francisco, California.
We continue our interviewing marathon with Tony Gallippi the owner of BitPay (https://bitpay.com/) about his company’s rapid growth, his partnership with Shopify (http://www.shopify.com/?rdid=36844627&term=%2Bshopify&Network=Search&SiteTarget=&mt=b&adid=46116142270&BOID=brand&adpos=1t1&gclid=CO7-16mFlL0CFbTm7AodWVgAfQ) and some important tips on how to create a Bitcoin Zone in your own town.
And finally we had the great pleasure of shaking hands with Andreas Antonopoulos and speaking with him about the importance of the arts in our ever expanding, but tight knit Bitcoin community.

Shownotes for Let’s Talk Bitcoin Episode 92 – Playing Catchup
My name is Adam B. Levine, and today we’re playing a bit of catch-up.
The last time I talked to David Johnston, Co-Founder of the BitAngels Network, he told me that he has 28 projects he’s investing in so far this year surrounding Distributed Applications. LTB correspondent Jonathan Mohan caught up with David not-so-long-ago at the Miami Conference to talk Master Protocol and our future of distributed apps.
Then:
Stephanie Murphy submits her first interview from the Texas Conference which took place last week outside the city of Austin. Stephanie talks Coinvoice and Coinformal with Marco Peereboom., then Zero Trust security and a from-scratch Open Source, Bitcoin implementation.
And Finally, Jonathan Mohan catches up with Sheldon Wisefield - An Early Robocoin owner with Coinvault ATM. They get inside the head of the early ATM operators, and the thought behind these early-run machines.
But first,
You asked; here it is - Dogecoin with Josh Mohland, creator of the Doge Reddit Tipbot.

SovereignBTC Episode 6 Shownotes: The Future of Bitcoin
Thanks for listening to SovereignBTC, your guide to the practical side of everyday Bitcoin use.
This weeks program was mostly recorded at the First Annual Texas Bitcoin Conference which took place this week in Austin, TX. The theme for this weeks episode is the future of Bitcoin. At the conference I was exposed to some really exciting new ideas that I really took to heart. I knew the blockchain had uses outside of just being a public ledger for the medium of exchange known as bitcoin. In episode 3 of SovereignBTC, the Many Uses of Bitcoin, we talked about just a few of the innovative means of utilizing the blockchain such as smart contracts and stock exchanges. At the Texas Bitcoin Conference Hackathon, I was blown away by not only the ideas present, but the number of people actually bringing these ideas to fruition. From decentralized transportation networks to peer to peer file storage, in this episode of SovereignBTC, we take an indepth look at the 2014 Texas Bitcoin Conference Hackathon.
This episode also includes a conversation with Charlie Lee, founder and creator of Litecoin, the Bitcoin tip of the week, an interview with David Johnston of BitAngels and Mastercoin on Bitcoin 2.0, a chat with Vitalik Buterin on Ethereum, and a closing interview with two of the main organizers of the conference, Paul Snow and Steven Wilkinson of the Texas Bitcoin Conference. We finish the program with an inspirational and compelling speech from none other than Andrea Antonopolous himself on the Future of Bitcoin, and what it truly means to have a sovereign currency.
You’re not gonna want to miss this inside look at one of the hottest Bitcoin conferences to date. It is only the beginning of the bitcoin revolution, glad you are coming along for the ride! Hold on tight, this is gonna get crazy! Website: sovereignbtc.com Facebook: facebook.com/sovereignbtc Twitter: twitter.com/sovbtc

Shownotes for Let’s Talk Bitcoin Episode 89 – Goxcoin & The Meta Lair
What is Goxcoin? Why would anyone want it? How would it work? Tim Swanson sits in as moderator for a panel discussion featuring David Johnston, Pete Earle, and Adam B. Levine to talk about the Goxcoin project.
The issues at Mt.Gox have been the primary example of why decentralized exchanges are needed. John Turrel has been working on just that: Metaexchange Altcoin “Meta Lair.” Stephanie caught up with John earlier this year to discuss this project.

SovereignBTC Episode 5 Shownotes: Gox is Dead, Bitcoin is Thriving
SovereignBTC is your guide to the practical side of everyday Bitcoin use.
Support for SovereignBTC comes from Central Texas Gun Works, self defense training, firearm sales, and CHL course. They are now accepting Bitcoin and have one of the nation’s first Bitcoin ATMS. Online at CentralTexasGunWorks.com
We start the show with the Bitcoin news of the week, courtesy of TheLibertyBeat.com.
Mt. Gox Investigated, Subpoenaed: http://thelibertybeat.com/mt-gox-investigated-subpoenaed/ Mt. Gox Files For Bankruptcy: http://thelibertybeat.com/mt-gox-files-for-bankruptcy/ Senator Manchin Calls on Financial Regulators to ban Bitcoin: http://thelibertybeat.com/senator-manchin-calls-on-financial-regulators-to-ban-bitcoin/ Fed Chair: Bitcoin Can’t Be Regulated: http://thelibertybeat.com/fed-chair-bitcoin-cant-be-regulated/ We hear from liberty activist, author, and co-founder of Bitcoin Not Bombs (http://bitcoinnotbombs.com/), Davi Barker, about his bitcoin related run-in with the TSA.
I’m pleased to bring you this interview with Michael Cargill, of Central Texas Gun Works, the first gun store in the state of Texas to accept Bitcoin. We chat about their acceptance of Bitcoin, the recent media piece about their business and the cryptocurrency, and the Bitcoin ATM that will be installed at their business.
Then we bring you a preview of TheBitMom.com’s interview with Megan Duffield of Amagi Metals.
As always, we hit you with the Bitcoin Tip of the Week, this week on Two factor Authentication
We share with you an interesting exchange that took place during a Liberty Forum Bitcoin panel between Jefferey Tucker and Daniel regarding Altcoins. Daniel is vehemently opposed to them and Jefferey is prefers to let the market decide. You’re gonna love this one!
Here’s this weeks Bitcoin Quote of the Week "the lesson is not that we ought to seek out "regulation" to save us from the evils and incompetence of man. For the regulators are men too, and wield the very same evil and incompetence, only enshrined in an authority from which it can wreck amplified and far more insidious destruction. Let us not retreat from our rising platform only to cower back underneath the deranged machinations of Leviathan." Erik Voorhees on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1yv6ph/some_words_for_my_friends/)
Finally, I deliver a refutation of an article published on NaturalNews.com by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, claiming Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme and those who use it are fools. I think I did a pretty good job of breaking through his mistruths and fallacies. I’ll let you be the judge.
Thanks for listening!

LTB-Cover_Art_03b
This last week saw a foundational member of the Bitcoin infrastructure crumble and fall in what looks like certain bankruptcy and a years long recovery. We won’t know what’s really going on until the folks in Japan open up but everybody's got an opinion on it, and that’s where we begin today.
Erik Voorhees is a beacon in the world of bitcoin philosophy and one of its most outspoken community advocates. We kick off todays show with Stephanie Murphy’s reading of Erik Voorhees letter entitled “Some words for my friends”
Then, Bloomberg News is concerned about the repercussions of Gox on the community, the currency and the momentum we’ve built over the last few years. Recently they interviewed Barry Silbert, founder at Second Market and progenitor of what claims to be the first wall-street backed Bitcoin exchange.
Throughout this episode we’ll hear from members of the community including Mastercoin Director Ron Gross and Legal Mind Trace Mayer, EasyDNS CEO Mark Jeftovic and Ethereum Evangelist Joel Dietz. We even hear a bit from Funnyman Jon Stewart on the right way to break the law as a financial institution.
We end todays show with a collaborative piece, both in its writing and in todays performance as we explore The Ghost in the Machine at Mt.Gox, with portions of an IRC log re-enacted by the newly formed LTB Players.
But first, why bother building towers when they sometimes fall down? Erik Voorhees explains...

One of the most notable Bitcoin exchanges is melting down and some Bitcoiners are in a tizzy about it. Ethan sounds off on how demands for regulation are absolute lunacy if we just look at the world around us. Regulators are demonstrably incompetent!
After a short break, we talk to Davi Barker, the Muslim agorist about an encounter with the TSA. Davi was stopped when the TSA noticed he had some Bitcoin stuff in his bag and they wanted to "count" Bitcoin" or something. Yeah...it doesn't make any sense.
