 WBD298 - Living on Bitcoin with Didi Taihuttu | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

In early 2017, with the Bitcoin price at around $1,200, Didi Taihuttu, his wife and three kids sold their house, cars and everything they owned and invested it all in Bitcoin. They planned to travel the world and live a nomad lifestyle. In 2017, following their decision, the Bitcoin price went to $20,000 before crashing back down to around $3,200. With this volatility, the family had to adjust their lifestyle. However, with Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs of $42,000 last week, their conviction has paid off. Now, four years later, the family are still travelling the world and living off Bitcoin. In this interview, I talk to Didi Taihuttu, and we discuss his decision to sell everything and buy Bitcoin, how the family coped during the bear market and the pros and cons of living a nomad lifestyle.

 WBD297 - Questions for Tether with Paolo Ardoino & Stuart Hoegner | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

There have been claims that Tether has manipulated the Bitcoin price. Still, JL van der Velde, CEO of both Bitfinex and Tether, denied the allegations stating "Bitfinex nor Tether is, or has ever, engaged in any sort of market or price manipulation. Tether issuances cannot be used to prop up the price of bitcoin or any other coin/token on Bitfinex." As well as market manipulation there have been calls for a full audit of the Tether reserves amidst claims that the stablecoin is not fully reserved. In this interview, I talk to Paolo Ardoino & Stuart Hoegner the CTO & General Counsel at Bitfinex. We discuss Tether FUD, the claims of not being fully backed and price manipulation.

 Unhashed Podcast - Have you heard of my lord and savior Cthulhu | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

On this episode of The Unhashed Podcast, we go on a lot of tangents. As a springboard for said tangents, we mention trillions in stimulus packages, Citibank calling bitcoin's tipping point, Colin's research on paper wallet theft, Craig Wright's latest legal facepalm, Blockstream anti-exfil technique, and Nvidia's attempts to placate its upset gamer customers. Listen to the end to find out whether or not you should talk to other people on planes, and when mempools will empty again. Money printer go BRRR. A new $1.9 Trillion stimulus package is making its way through the US congress and looks like it will be signed into law soon. Direct stimulus checks will go out for $1,400 to every US citizen, more for those with kids. This is good for Bitcoin! Citi Bank released a report entitled 'œBitcoin - At the Tipping Point'. The bank highlighted that bitcoin could 'œbecome the currency of choice for international trade,' thanks to its 'œdecentralized design, lack of foreign exchange exposure, fast (and potentially cheaper) money movements, secure payment channels, and traceability.' In conclusion, the report states that 'œThere are a host of risks and obstacles that stand in the way of Bitcoin progress. But weighing these potential hurdles against the opportunities leads to the conclusion that Bitcoin is at a tipping point.' '" https://www.scribd.com/document/496504335/Citi-Bitcoin-at-the-Tipping-Point#from_embed Coindesk ran a piece which sourced research from your's truly. As it turns out, the top google search result for 'œBitcoin paper wallet'œ was stealing users funds from a backdoor. Over 125 bitcoin have been stolen thus far and believe it or not, law enforcement has been slow to act even though the identity of the thief is well known. '" https://privacypros.io/wallets/paper-scam-warning/ Our favorite whipping boy Craig Wright has made another blunder through repeated claims of ownership over the 'œ1Fee' address. This is the bitcoin address that stores 79,000 Bitcoin that were stolen from Mt Gox between 2011 and 2013 in the slow drain attack from its cold wallet. Craig asserted ownership of the address in a letter to Bitcoin Core devs demanding that they give him back the bitcoin because it was stolen from him (but not moved to a new address). Wright and company has now been served from Mt Gox creditors demanding restitution. Blockstream released a blog post on "anti-exfil", a New cryptographic tech to protect users from leaking keys through hardware wallet attacks. This is an attack that a malicious hardware wallet could perform against the ECDSA (and Schnorr, post-Taproot) signatures used in Bitcoin, in which signatures are generated in undetectably faulty ways that leak key material. In order to execute such an attack, a malicious party would need to compromise the signature generation code on a hardware device, which cannot be done without cooperation from the hardware vendor (or an incredibly serious security breach). However, because such an attack is undetectable, mitigating it is important for users who are storing coins for long periods of time, if only so that they can have peace of mind. '" https://medium.com/blockstream/anti-exfil-stopping-key-exfiltration-589f02facc2e Nvidia is limiting the hash rate of GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs so they're less desirable to miners and launching NVIDIA CMP for professional mining. In their announcement they write: "RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent. That only makes sense. Our GeForce RTX GPUs introduce cutting-edge technologies '" such as RTX real-time ray-tracing, DLSS AI-accelerated image upscaling technology, Reflex super-fast response rendering for the best system latency, and many more '" tailored to meet the needs of gamers and those who create digital experiences.

This week Jack Mallers announced the launch of Strike Global, a Bitcoin neobank that uses the Bitcoin network and lightning to facilitate the sending of money anywhere in the world, in a matter of seconds, for free. The speed and cost of payments have often been a topic of debate in Bitcoin. While the basechain is necessarily slow, the Lightning Network promises to provide instant and low-cost bitcoin transfers. With Strike, Jack Mallers is taking this to the next level allowing users to settle in fiat currencies across the Bitcoin network. Fast and no cost transfers of fiat currencies solve problems across the world, especially in third-world countries. Strike aims to run a pilot in El Salvador to prove this.

 Unhashed Podcast - ETF Rising | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we are again joined by Mags, the loud librarian herself, to cover bcash delistings, microstrategy doubling down, Cryptopia's hacks (yes, that's plural), bull market company valuations, Nigeria's bitcoin ban, and the ins and outs of North America's first ETF launch. It gets a little gossipy at the end...we blame Mags for that. OKCoin is delisting bitcoin cash (BCH), a fork or 'œclone' of bitcoin, as well as its own fork, bitcoin sv (BSV), both as a way to protect neophyte clients who are trying to buy bitcoin and as a statement of principle. The exchange's higher-ups decided to scuttle the markets for either coin because they created confusion for new clients who joined OKCoin to buy bitcoin. On top of that, the routine lawsuits and legal threats from Bitcoin SV creator Craig Wright played a hand in the exchange decision to delist both BCH and BSV. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor said Friday the firm had completed a $1.05 billion debt offering, a raise that will allow the business intelligence company to buy another $1 billion in bitcoin. The raise is part of MicroStrategy's dual business strategy of developing business intelligence software and also literally just buying as much bitcoin (BTC, -6.63%) as it possibly can. MicroStrategy already has 71,039 of the coins.'œMicroStrategy estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be approximately $1.03 billion, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by MicroStrategy,' the company said. The Cryptopia exchange has reportedly been hacked again, even as it is being liquidated following a previous breach that stole$15.5 million. According to a Stuff report Thursday, a creditor, U.S. firm Stakenet, has been told that about $45,000 in the XSN cryptocurrency had been transferred out of its cold wallet on Feb. 1. Unused since the first Cryptopia hack in January 2019, the wallet is reported to contain crypto assets worth US$1.97 million in total. Liquidator Grant Thornton New Zealand said it hadn't authorized the movement of funds and that it is investigating the incident, according to an email seen by Stuff. Stakenet had not lost funds in the 2019 hack and had been hoping to eventually receive all its assets back. 'œIf this unauthorized transaction has happened under Grant Thornton's watch then they need to explain to the users why they failed to secure ... [the] assets like they were supposed to do and how someone was able to access them,' the company told Stuff. The news comes soon after Grant Thornton finally started allowing former users of the exchange to enter claims to retrieve their assets. High-end bitcoin brokerage River Financial raised $17.3 million in a recent equity sale, according to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Thursday. Form D filings reveal two-year-old River aims to raise nearly $500,000 in additional funding for a total of nearly $17.8 million. The firm reported 34 backers in its latest filing but none of them were known at press time. It was not immediately clear if the $17 million figure includes funds from the $5.7 million seed round River completed last July with backing from Castle Island Ventures, Slow Ventures and a slew of other VCs. Partners at those firms did not respond to multiple CoinDesk inquiries. Software job postings indicate River intends to build new services for its iOS app, and is considering taking steps to bolster account security and develop 'œnovel performance reporting features,' projects it offers as examples to prospective hires. River serves deep-pocketed bitcoin investors and has in the past insisted it manages a 'œbrokerage' service, not an exchange. It is seeking to refine that white-glove offering already available 32 U.S. states, as evidenced by the client operations analyst position. The first bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) to receive
