The Crypto Show

On tonight’s episode of “The Crypto Show,” our guest is Julia Tourianski of www.bravetheworld.com and the Youtube channel “bravetheworld.” Before we talk to her, however, Danny updates us on his recent arrival to San Francisco, where he has already met up with Julia. Despite some automotive troubles, Danny has been able to stay on track with his trip, and he gives us a quick review of his success in getting Gun Compensator, LLC, in Torrence, California, to become a distributor for the GhostGunner, and already several have sold. Danny also has an owner of a dispensary verbally on board to get a Bitcoin/Dash ATM.

Julia joins us from her new home in San Francisco to introduce the world to the new material that she is creating on her website and channel. She also regales us with some interesting personal anecdotes about her time already in San Francisco, and how they indicate the political climate there and throughout the rest of the country.

We then have a long discussion about the price and future of Bitcoin, as well touch upon the block-size debate, and Julia answers questions I have about the incentives involved for owners of nodes and for the Bitcoin core developers. I also mention her awesome T-shirts available at her website, and Julia announces that she will be appearing at PorcFest

On tonight’s episode of “The Crypto Show,” Danny successfully signs on board a gun shop owner to be a Ghost Gunner distributor in the L.A. area. Danny is currently in El Segundo, California, near LAX, waiting to take the next leg of his trip to the bay area.

Fred Constantinesco sits in with us to discuss various topics with us, including trends he’s witnessed at the Dallas Bitcoin meetup he hosts.

Brian Hoffman from Open Bazaar joins us to play a rap parody video of the Bitcoin debate between Roger Ver of Bitcoin Unlimited and John Dilley of Blockstream, a debate that Danny and I M.C.ed while at the Anarchapulco Conference back in February, and tells us about his experience at the Consensys conference in New York. We also discuss with him the future of Bitcoin and the resolution of the block-size issue, the proliferation of ICO’s, and a recent development with Open Bazaar.

On tonight’s episode of “The Crypto Show,” Danny makes it to the offices of Bitcoin wallet-maker Airbitz alongside that company’s former COO and continued collaborator Will Pangman, who updates us on some of the projects he’s currently working on, including tokens, smart contracts, and Lamium, the first decentralized Bitcoin invoice payment service. Will also gives us an overview of Consensus Conference 2017 that just took place in New York. We also discuss the run-up in crypto prices and how that is related to all the new interest and money flooding into the space.

Danny then updates us on what has happened thus far in his journey to spread the word to cannabis businesses about Dash and Bitcoin and also gives us a glimpse into upcoming legs of his journey. Danny was successfully able to get a gun shop on board as a distributor for Defense Distributed’s GhostGunner, another exciting development on his trip.

Tonight’s episode explores the ongoing saga of Danny’s road trip to cannabis-legal states to preach Bitcoin and Dash to marijuana dispensaries, growers, and others for the purposes of bringing the advantages of cryptocurrency to the industry and to bank the unbanked. He is also promoting Defense Distributed’s Ghost Gunner, which he will be demonstrating at a gun shop tomorrow. We also broach Stash’s intent to integrate Dash into the Stash Node Pro, and we briefly discuss the run-up in cryptocurrency prices and the moral and philosophical issues involved in the Ethereum split.

In the final couple of segments, Daniel Krawicz, a.k.a., “Scrooge McAltcoin,” leads us in an interesting discussion about an unusual interpretation of the movie “The Matrix,” and of course it has to do with his favorite topic, cults.

On tonight's episode of "The Crypto Show," Danny goes to Las Vegas to the local Bitcoin meetup, where we interview Brian Goss, radiologist, former member of the Bitcoin Foundation, and all-around tech and science enthusiast. We get his very informed and insightful opinions on all sorts of topics, such as the block-size issue, the current run-up in crypto prices, his view of altcoins, and the future of Bitcoin and the crypto space at large. We flow in and out of other topics as well, but the discussion is very interesting, enlightening, and surprisingly coherent for its spontaneity.

Tonight, Danny visits Lake Havasu Az and meets up with Dave Mitchell, founder and CEO of secretluxurybunkers.com. We briefly review the mission and services provided by Dave’s company for listeners who may have missed his recent previous appearance on our show, and then we discuss Dave’s and Secret Luxury Bunker’s involvement in TheArcLightFoundation.org a charity for victims of human trafficking. Finally, in the last segment, Tom of Defense Distributed and Chris chat it up

Tonight’s episode has John Ferguson of “Technology and Choice” podcast sitting in as co-host for Danny who is on the road in his “Crypto Cannabis Tour” to bring the General Bytes Dash and Bitcoin ATMs and the Alt36 Dash point-of-sale systems to cannabis dispensaries and other establishments in states where marijuana is legal. In short, to “bank the unbanked.” Danny describes his success so far in installing an ATM at a computer shop in the heart of the cannabis district in Denver, and his lack of success so far in getting some gun shops to take Defense Distributed’s Ghost Gunner into their inventory. He also details the plans for the rest of his trip that has just begun. In the first hour we also have guest John Cassaretto of Build Liberty to discuss the recent ransomware hack that took place in over 100 countries.

Tonight we talk with Ken Ramirez CEO and co-founder of Alt36 about their new product that will bring a General Bytes ATM and point of sale for Dash in to Cannabis dispensaries. Dispensaries have a serious problem of less than desirable access to traditional banking.

Dash and Alt36 aim to solve that problem with digital currency.

Tonight we sit down with Anthem & Cindy Blanchard, Andrew Yashchuk and John Ferguson. Anthem, Cindy and Andrew join us to discuss their new venture Anthem Gold (http://AnthemGold.com) which is a Gold pegged crypto set to be released in short order. ( https://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/anthemgold/landing ) Andrew is also a part of the project as well as a key member of the Factom team and discusses Factom Harmony as well a new tool for the Mortgage Industry. Our good friend John Ferguson of the "Technology And Choice podcast on LTB Network joins in as a welcome member of the conversation.
