Devcon3: Recap Part 2 Nov 05, 2017

Show notes

Devcon3 is a wrap! We successfully avoided Corrupted cops, locals & crypto gangs. Instead we had dinner and rubbed shoulders with the best of them. We drunk plenty of alcohol (after all, we ARE in Cancun), and learned a lot. Again, here are our takeaways, but this time from the last two days of Devcon3 as we provide you our recap part 2. Which talks you should watch/attend and/or miss? Who lived up to expectations and who disappointed?...and most importantly, which announcements were game changing. For everyone that met up with us from our slack, and who recognized us from Twitter -- we thank you! We will see you next year!

TBP165 - Praise for Cryptoassets Nov 05, 2017

Show notes

We’re in the early days of a technological breakthrough that has the potential for enormous societal impact, but challenges remain. As we spent the past week in Cancun, Mexico, we cut the roundtable short, but we bring Stephen McKeon into the studio to have a healthy discussion. Stephen is an expert in topics related to corporate finance, including venture capital, private equity, entrepreneurial finance, mergers and acquisitions. At the University of Oregon, he is an assistant professor of finance. He also works in the Finance and Securities Analysis Center in the Lundquist College of Business.

Devcon3: Recap Part 1 Nov 03, 2017

Show notes

The first day of Devcon3 has come to an end and there’s a lot to be processed. Before we head into the second day of Ethereum’s conference in Cancún, Mexico, here are our takeaways from yesterday and today. We recap which talks you should watch/attend and/or miss. Who lived up to expectations and who disappointed...and most importantly, which announcements were game changing. Finally, there were also some hints for other improvements to the Ethereum platform that might be coming in the future. These include planned upgrades to the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), eWASM, which enables Ethereum to run in a web browser, and so-called “stateless clients”, a proposal for how clients could sync with the network more quickly. We anticipate hearing much more about these in the coming days at Devcon3. Listen now, and wait until the end of the conference for part 2. Like DMX, we gon' give it to ya.

TBP164 - The Benefits of Familiarity Oct 31, 2017

Show notes

DC is an Ethereum-based exchange for government currency backed crypto assets. DC assets are backed by fiat currency reserves and pegged at the value of the fiat currency they represent. CEO, Alex Wearn, is an expert at managing teams in the design and delivery of cutting edge software products. He joins us for a great, engaging conversation. One of the key ideas here is to protect against exchange risk whenever the asset has to reside on the blockchain for a period of time. And so on.

TBP163 - Savings and Savior Oct 29, 2017

Show notes

Christians make up 1/3 the global population. The number one bible website gets over 1.5 BILLION PAGES VIEWS per year. I'll let you do the math on the CPM at $4. That's just for Bible reading. We get that this may not be for everyone but to be so short sided. Christ Coin is the first pre-mined Christian-based Cryptocurrency. It is used to financially reward people who read the Bible, post/view content and interact with the community on the Life Change Platform. Luke Forstmann, co-founder, comes from an extraordinary lineage of family committed to working in the philanthropic and financial fields. He was kind enough to come on this week to talk shop!

Buy or Sell, What the Hell #4 Oct 27, 2017

Show notes

Today the team goes over what problems a lot of traders run into when trading and how they can start to avoid them. There is no “holy grail” when trading, only a process of proper risk management. Your only job as a trader is to manage your risk properly, not to tell a story. Fundamentals and valuation are two fields focused on often but what is usually overlooked is the cyclical and mental aspects of trading.
