Deze Nederlandstalige aflevering van BlockRock gaat over een project van Maarten Smakman, namelijk een glazen bol met daarin een Rasberry Pi. Deze bol is meer dan een bol van glas. Copernicus is een zoektocht naar het omgaan met blockchains, tokens, waarde en nog veel meer.

Bart was happy to talk with Robert Bakker in Katwijk aan Zee about Electra. Electra is a global open-source blockchain project for fast and secure peer-to-peer payments at low fees.

We talked about how it started, ElectraPay and POS solutions, ECA on exchanges, the promise of DEXes, and of course their latest achievement with product tracking on fresh Oysters! You can't miss this one.

Bart was happy to talk with Mick de Graaf in Rotterdam about PieDAO. With PieDAO you can already diversify your BTC or USD position on the Ethereum blockchain and thereby reduce your risk holding these assets.

The team is also developing a Ray Dalio style diversified portfolio, a portfolio that keeps you safe in all weather. Who wouldn't want that? And imagine all the possibilities for future 'pies'! They are only just beginning, this is what decentralized finance (DeFi) is about.

Bart talked with Mick in a somewhat crowded, but cozy bar, hope you can manage the noise because it's a 'must-hear' episode. https://piedao.org/#/ | https://blockrock.nl

Bart had a very interesting talk with Maarten Smakman about a new mysterious project: IS IT COPERNICUS?. The project explores the decentralization of money & power in an unusual, somewhat disturbing way. Maarten talks about scarcity, greed & reputation which have an interesting dynamic and can learn us about the future of value systems and how we react on that. Technology now brings us constructions for money and value like we never had before. We need to explore and learn before we can grow. Learn about this amazing project!

Susanne & Bart had a very interesting talk with Joachim de Koning and Robert de Groot about Internet of Coins. The team of Internet of Coins built a decentralized wallet that gives you full control over your own wallet and runs locally on your device. Their technology runs decentralized and locally on the device of the user and connects to a network of nodes (for your wallet settings) and blockchains (for your coin balances). They do not store any data on their servers. IoC believes in a diverse and plural crypto-ecosystem. They want to support all non-proprietary blockchains and tokens into a decentralized network.

Duco & Bart bumped onto Meyade on a Blockbar blockchain co-work day in The Hague Tech. We had an open talk with Meyade on how he got into crypto and why he was amazed by Lisk. We talk about the team in Berlin and the Lisk Centre which is about to open in Utrecht.

Lisk is set to be one of the leading blockchain platforms appealing to many developers as they use Javascript as a base language for dapps. What is the roadmap for Lisk and what will be their impact? Examples of transperancy for NGO's and Lisk's view on scalability. More info on http://blockrock.nl
