Happy holidays from Analysis in Chains!  This year Neal wished for Bitcoin to be worth $25,000.  We don't know if Santa will deliver but we took the opportunity to discuss how the crypto industry played out this past year and speculate on what 2019 will bring.

Trading and speculation are the engine that drives interest in blockchain technology, and the huge swings in value have captured the attention of wall street.  This brave new world of digital asset trading lured Sam Bankman-Fried from his high-powered wall-street job to found two companies, FTX and Alameda Research, which bring a derivatives exchange and quantitative trading to the blockchain world. 
Everyone has been on tenterhooks waiting for the influx of institutional money into the blockchain space, and FTX is waiting for them, but Sam notes that there are many hurdles that have to be overcome before the big investors will feel comfortable diving in.

#181 - Crypto Derivatives - Interview with Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX

When Neal and I started this podcast 2 years ago, one of our goals was to discover interesting projects and uses of blockchain that we hadn't considered before. The Internet is core to all of our lives to the point where we take it for granted that it will just work. Blockchain is great for payment systems, trading platforms, supply chain traceability... but can blockchain make the Internet more efficient?
In today's episode I interview Dom Povilauskas, the CEO of NOIA. His team has created a more efficient way to route Internet traffic around the world and incentivizes owners of routers to participate in this more efficient system with a decentralized cryptocurrency system.

#180 - Interview with Dom Povilauskas, CEO of NOIA

Did ever you try
To build an AI
That would tinker with clouds
And make them more spry?
Well one person did.
And his name is Max Rye
And he is the founder
Of DeepCloud AI.
 
 
We take cloud services for granted in North America and Europe, however in many parts of the world it is difficult to get reliable access to cloud services for your business.  Today I speak with Max Rye, founder and CEO of Deepcloud AI, who are using a blockchain and AI driven framework to incentivize the crowd to provide cloud services in decentralized way that minimizes latency so that companies who don't have easy access to AWS or Google can still have access to reliable cloud services.

#179 - Hi Max Rye, from DeepCloud A.I.!

Hey everyone!
This week I'm going to be speaking at Tech Open Air in Berlin. I was invited because my company, Minespider, is involved with an interesting blockchain use case of tracking responsibly sourced minerals and metals in the supply chain. We're working to eliminate human rights abuses in the products we buy. 
One of the things I learned from running Minespider is that much of the reason there are atrocities going into our products in the first place has to do with the way our economy is structured.  It always comes back to the incentives.  Is there a way to change the rules of the economy so that everyone races to become the most responsible company?  Maybe. It sounds like the kind of challenge blockchain is built to tackle, doesn't it?

#178 - Incentives for a new economy

Greetings, hashers!
Everyone is talking about Libra. Is it a coin for good or for evil? Should we trust Facebook to create a cryptocurrency? Take a listen and I'll give my 2 cents.
Plus, the main segment today is an interview with Paul Riegle and Yossi Gilad from Algorand. Generally, primary layer blockchains want to be secure, scalable, and decentralized, but can only choose 2 of those three.  Algorand believes they've come up with a way to get all three. Will this change the crypto scene? Join us to explore!
