Can I interest you in my new cryptocurrency, BelayCoin?

You can use BelayCoin to pay for the services of my company, and every transaction is verified and recorded in the Ethereum blockchain. And over time, the value of BelayCoin may rise to reflect how in-demand my services are.

Now, don't go running for your credit cards – I'm just kidding. I haven't actually set up a system like this. But if I did, would I be crazy, or ahead of the curve?

On today's show, I sit down with Jim Dowd to find out.

Jim is the founder and managing director of North Capital, the leading provider of prime brokerage and technology application services to power financial marketplaces. North Capital also has a Reg D offering called Proof Ethereum, and they intend to invest most of its assets into Ether, which is the value token – the cryptocurrency – that is used on the Ethereum blockchain.
