TBP138 - The 21st Century 49ers Jul 16, 2017

Show notes

One of the world's more recognizable bitcoin miners, David Carlson gained global attention for his multimillion-dollar mining venture MegaBigPower during the bitcoin boom of 2014. It took us awhile, but he is finally on our show to chat in this seemingly ever-expanding market, about launching a new venture called Giga Watt. Giga Watt provides turnkey mining services and custom packages tailored to clients’ needs: full range of mining services from equipment sales, maintenance and repair to private blockchain servicing. In this way, the idea is the latest and perhaps one of the more ambitious attempts to capitalize on the access to capital provided by the ICO mechanism.

The Ether Review #68 — Numerai, The Last Hedge Fund Jul 12, 2017

Show notes

Xander Dunn and Richard Craib discuss Numerai, a new kind of hedge fund built by a network of data scientists. The Numerai platform crowdsources machine learning by releasing encrypted data sets to data scientists, incentivising them to develop machine learning algorithms to analyse the data. Scientists then bid their predictions to the hedge fund by staking funds, and are paid returns in Numeraire, the platform’s native cryptocurrency, for correct predictions. By abstracting its financial data to be only machine-readable, Numerai ensures that human biases and overfitting are overcome, and that short-term and long-term returns are equally weighted. With the ultimate goal of “owning all of the money in the world”, the Numerai hedge fund has high hopes for the future. numer.ai twitter.com/xanderai twitter.com/richardcraib itunes.apple.com//podcast/the-eth…id899090462?mt=2

NABP #4: Benjamin Perrin Jul 11, 2017

Show notes

Benjamin Perrin or Ben, from the BTC Sessions, is the internet's most helpful crypto personality. This guy helped me make my first paper wallet, use my first bitcoin ATM and so much more. His informative how to videos are next level and so is the quality of the content as well as in entertainment value.

Yes, yes we did. So get ready too listen to two nerds, nerd out about nerd money and so much more.

TBP137 - Countdown to SegWit Jul 09, 2017

Show notes

WAAAAAY back on episode #15 we had Jonathan Chester from Bitwage come on in 2015. At that time, Bitwage performed over $1 million in payroll transactions. Fast forward to 2017, he is back on the show and they have now processed more than $4.5 billion worth of payments to date. Quite the leap, eh? If that growth wasn't impressive enough, Mr. Chester talks to us about expanding BitWages' European footprint with a launch in the UK.

NABP #3: Adam Meister Jul 06, 2017

Show notes

Adam Meister is an entrepreneur, self made. He is known for his voice in the crypto community and his views of the world. Being a minimalist isn't easy, but when you can the level of self discipline as Adam, it's just routine. The Bitcoin Meister, or Adam for short is absolutely the most frugal personality in the space. Using the internet to it's full potential and even pushing boundaries beyond borders, he uses the kindness of strangers to travel and couch surf. Being a somewhat, ok huge, bitcoin maximalist, it's impressive he's had guests on his show like Charlie Lee and Amanda B Johnson. As a fan of his show myself, I was excited to get to meet and know Adam as a person not just a personality. Next time, we will dig deeper into the crypto rabbithole.

Episode #11: On-Ramping with Dee Jul 04, 2017

Show notes

In this episode we have David Perez. A friend of a friend that contacted Dee through Facebook. Yes, he was looking to make a buck; however, maybe just maybe Dee was able to convince him that there is more to the surface than a path to deep pockets.

In today’s discussion we look at the legality of raising money through token launches, the potential risks involved, and approaches to improving the safety of these new bearer assets. We also examine the term ICO in depth and find that terminology, while relevant is second to the nature of the offer and state of the project involved.
