Episode #9 - Why do we need crypto & decentralization? Ashley Madison, that's why!

This week we cover the Bit Film crowd sourcing project that may may Max Keiser a star of the screen, we chill while we hear how cannabis startups need bitcoin (yes, you heard right, there are cannabis startups!), we take far too much pleasure from the Ashley Madison hacks, learn new and novel ways that decentralised networks can be used to underpin democracy and help people hook up, we DON'T interview Roger Ver, we report on our joint Safe Network and podcasting projects with RMIT and much other great stuff.
