What you are going to LEARN in this episode:

How blockchains are breaking the old model of centralized, big-business.

How the Free Market and the sharing economy build around government’s heavy taxation.

Why the blockchain allows us to trust each other without needing to know each other.

How digital token sales are much easier and cheaper to raise funds for your startup

Today’s guest is Christopher David, Founder of the decentralized ride-sharing app Arcade City. While living in New Hampshire at the Free State Project, Chris saw first hand what the government was doing to cripple Uber and the ride-sharing economy. At the time, he was driving for Uber.

After attending countless town hall meetings, Chris decided to take matters into his own hands and build an Uber competitor which was decentralized and much more difficult to shut down and regulate. He felt that he had much more control when building rather than when begging the government to hear his side of the story.

Former Libertarian Party presidential candidate Austin Petersen weighs in on VP candidate Bill Weld's vouching for Hillary Clinton.

Did the US government really just give away the Internet? Is the USA Freedom Act worse than the Patriot Act? All that and so much more as we discuss ICANN, the UN and so much more in this week's episode.

Jeffrey Kaye, a psychologist and writer on torture, discusses the latest developments in the ACLU’s lawsuit (on behalf of former Guantanamo detainees) against James Elmer Mitchell and John “Bruce” Jessen, the psychologists who designed the CIA’s post-9/11 torture program.

What was actually in the WikiLeaks email dump about Hillary Clinton and why should we care? Thank you for joining me on the twentieth episode of The LAVA Spurt, The Most Damaging Wikileaks Edition.

This is episode 147 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast!

First up today, Daniel sits down with Paul Puey, the CEO and Co-founder of Airbitz. We had him on the show two years ago to chat about his user-friendly Bitcoin wallet, and now he’s back to reveal his new plans for the project.

One essential part of Airbitz’s future is their equity crowdfunding campaign that is currently running on Wefunder. The platform allows anyone to invest in the company with as little as $100. Mr. Puey will also cover some of the other companies that he’s working with to develop and use decentalized crypto security tools.

Then after that, Tim joins in to chat about Theo Chino’s war against the BitLicense. Chino is a businessman who saw that regulations were ruining Bitcoin entreprenuership, so now he’s suing the state. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have much support, but he does hope to encourage a meaningful conversation about the issue.

Tune in to learn how Airbitz is breaking new ground in crypto! Your hosts are Daniel Brown and Tim Baker. Enjoy!

The guys discuss the FBI reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails and what it means for the election. They also critique a Screenrant article about why the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't need better villains.

Hillary says the rich don’t pay their fair share and she wants to go where the money is! Where is most of the money at? The majority of people are in the “middle class!” The dirty little secret is that Hillary will tax the middle class to get through her programs! The top 1% pay an effective tax rate of 27.1%, while the bottom 50% pay an effective tax rate of 3.3%! The rich pay more than their fair share! We are less than a week from Election Day and regardless of who wins the government will continue to grow! Our national debt is approaching $20 trillion and our day of reckoning is fast approaching. Prepare yourself now because the politicians out there will not protect you!

Rick Rule, CEO of Sprott US Holdings, returns to revisit his prediction of a catastrophic credit event in 2016 and the looming liquidity disaster.
