Rice Crypto and I sat down for some time to discuss crypto, the YouTube purge, the Bitcoin halving, COVID-19’s impact on the space, and the many social blockchain and crypto-monetized dapps we use every day.

Debrief combines communications networks and the power of blockchain to achieve truly private and secure connections. Jeff Pulver and I dive into Debrief, what it’s all about, and where it’s headed in the future.

Debrief is a decentralized network and middleware infrastructure for any application to build upon and utilize enhanced security and data privacy. Debrief's mission is to create a communication network and Middleware solution that no longer exposes confidential information, but instead, reduces the costs incurred for security and truly secures sensitive business and personal data on the blockchain.

May is fiat free month where people are being challenged to find creative solutions to pay bills and live their life as they normally would without using fiat currency. Joel Valenzuela aka TheDesertLynx shares with us how he’s been living fiat free since 2016.

He shares with us the many methods and processes he takes to be able to spend, pay bills, transact, and everything you need to be completely fiat free and bankless. The idea behind it is that he wants permissionless and privacy-focused solutions. He hopes to show people with his example that this is completely possible and doable.

Did you catch my interview with Andreas M. Antonopoulos aka @aantonop? We talk about blockchain adoption, the bitcoin halving, decentralized exchanges, the crypto youtube purge, why you should earn Bitcoin, and more

He is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. He is known for delivering electric talks that combine economics, psychology, technology, and game theory with current events, personal anecdotes, and historical precedent. He does this effortlessly, transliterating the complex issues of blockchain technology out of the abstract and into the real world for the average person.

Let’s talk about the atomic swap exchange called JellySwap. I had a chat with the CEO there, Tito Titov. We covered what JellySwap is, what makes it unique, and what they’re planning for 2020.

JellySwap is a swap exchange that offers atomic swap options for many cryptocurrencies. It has fast and secure cross-chain transactions powered by a fully decentralized atomic swap technology. You have full control of your assets and can swap them in seconds. The interface is easy to use for smooth cross-chain trading.

The AdEx Network is sort of like a Google Adwords/Adsense alternative on the blockchain with a much more decentralized system. I sat down with Ivo Georgiev who is the CEO there to learn more about AdEx and where they’re headed in 2020.

AdEx is a trust-minimized solution for digital advertising that reduces ad fraud, improves ad budgets and protects user privacy.

The AdEx platform is built on the Ethereum blockchain to connect publishers and advertisers without intermediaries on a decentralized ad exchange. We introduce real-time reporting for both parties and enable payments per impression with no withdrawal threshold for publishers.

I had the opportunity to discuss Kyber Network with Deniz Omer who is the head of ecosystem growth there. We discuss what Kyber is all about and what they’re up to in 2020.

Kyber Network is described as an on-chain liquidity protocol that aggregates liquidity from a wide range of reserves, powering instant and secure token exchange in any decentralized application. What I use it for is seamless simple token swapping, but you also develop on Kyber too.

I had the opportunity to discuss BitTube with Kai-Uwe Schnier who is the CFO there. We discuss how BitTube can be an alternative to YouTube, how you can sync your content, and what’s up next for them in 2020.

TUBE is a new kind of money that provides a modern payment network. BitTube is where you can earn TUBE for your videos and acts as a better crypto alternative to the likes of YouTube.

Digibyte is all about decentralization. That’s why they have a foundation. It must be true because it rhymes. But really though check out my interview with Hans Koning who is the chair of the Digibyte Foundation. 

We talk about the foundation, what they’re all about, how they work with Digibyte, the benefits and challenges of decentralization, and where they’re headed going forward.
