April 27th, 2018Featured GuestsChris Powell & Bix WeirPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsDid C.W. identify the creator of Bitcoin’s name hidden within the nom de plume, Satoshi Nakamoto? See the full story on right hand side of this page:1st Step. Reverse the order: Satoshi Nakamoto to Nakamoto Satoshi. 2nd Step. Shorten the names: Nakamoto Satoshi = Nak Sato.C.W. proposes that Nak Sato = pseudonym for Nick Szabo.Therefore, Satoshi Nakamoto = Nakamoto Satoshi = Nak Sato = Nick Szabo. Hypothesis I. To protect against legal issues, he used a pseudonym and left Satoshi’s 1 million Bitcoins on the blockchain as a smokescreen, unclaimed. In the mean time, he mined another million BTC in 2009 while difficulty was negligible. This resolution is worth at least a couple hundred of those 1 million BTC ;)Hypothesis II. Trace Meyer and Nick Szabo are the co-authors of Bitcoin, based on Nick Szabos’ Bitgold platform and worked closely on the project, hiding Szabos’ name in the pseudonym Satoshi N., as a second layer of encryption. A collaboration between Nick Szabo (Wozniak / Steve Allen) and Trace Meyer (Jobs / Gates).Part I. with Bix Weir of RoadtoRoot-A continues the ongoing investigation into the intriguing crypto-phenomenon, which may be the early adopter stage of a ubiquitous revolution. Blockchain promises incalculable boosts in productivity while delivering unprecedented reductions in expenses. Similar to email vs. snailmail, the significance of the improvement is difficult to convey without actually using the technology. Bix Weir notes that the new blockchain technology involves innovation on a scale that humanity may have never experienced until today. The host estimates the world may be witnessing the genesis of a new $1 trillion industry; the Digital Collectibles Mania (think of beanie babies on steroids), involves ETH contracts.One crypto asset (CA) sold for $250k last December. A CA is just an Ethereum contract or a digital asset, with several interesting features coded into the Solidity language. CAs actually mimic DNA, morphing with each iteration, similar to the core of the blockchain hashing process or algorithm. The non-fungibility aspects of the ERC-721 protocol differs from the typical ERC-20, because unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are fungible.Non-fungible ERC-721 tokens yield unique assets, representing a big game changer. Simply put, the previous ledger is interpolated via new transactions. Its further proposed that new crypto-collectibles will emerge from the existing Github code such as cryptomasterpiece-artwork assets and classical music, based on AI versions. Nearly anything imaginable could be emulated on the blockchain, such as virtual trading AI that improves profitability based on inherent DNA.ERC-721 + internet + crypto = a $10 brillion dollar industry, potentially and it’s only $10 million in size currently. The situation could result in a Tulip Mania that is arguably less than 3 months old.Chris Powell of GATA.org returns from a speaking tour in Hong Kong and Singapore including CNBC and Bullion Star, with intriguing research on the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). Purportedly, the BIS increased its gold swaps to 500+ tons for banking members, suggesting interested by emerging interest by central bankers and a gold supply shortage. GATA.org is thoroughly convinced that all major central banks, worldwide are materially culpable for the precious metals manipulation scheme, as outlined in their literature. According to our guest, the resulting from paper schemes amounts to a short position that cannot be covered making physical gold / silver "spectacularly undervalued." Market forces could return the prices of the PMs back to their equilibrium point as governments experiment with a worldwide currency revaluation. The host echoes the prescient sentiments of arguably the greatest American economist of the past 50 years, Milton Friedman, who called for internet money or "eCash" in 1999.Friedman's
