This episode is simple, it's just my thoughts on the whole blockchain everything movement out there. I talk about what I think blockchains are good for and what they aren't good for.

I talk about the Brexit and its fallout. Trade blocks are forming quickly and Europe will be cut out. This is just the beginning, and I talk about Italy, Greece, and Germany.

Thanks for listening, don't forget to share.

In this episode I discuss a topic that comes up quite often for me, a Gold Standard vs a Bitcoin Standard. I recorded the morning after the Brexit vote, and the best performing assets during the last 24 hours were bitcoin followed by gold. It's a bit of a stretch at this point to talk about a bitcoin standard, but if people think a gold standard is likely, a bitcoin standard is better in almost every way, so maybe we should start talking about it.

This is an update on the DAO and Ethereum situation. It's a continuation from my EP5, from several weeks ago where I correctly pointed out its game theoretical flaws. Coded democracy still escapes us.

White hat hack

Charles Hoskinson was the insider slamming Tual. He deleted the tweet I saw, but here is a related one.

Ethereum has lost all credibility as their counter hack has been infiltrated by the hacker. They look so silly.

Sorry guys, no Lisk today. Their whitepaper is MIA, undergoing revision. I asked for a copy, but no luck. I'll get to that as soon as it's available.

Today, I rant about some headlines including, cryptolocker or ransomware, planting the flag for bitcoin with "bitcoin is the technology behind blockchain", and finally Spain, the Brexit, and the EU.
