The Let's Talk Bitcoin Network

On this week's Unhashed Podcast: Coinbase has filed for permission to have an IPO, Ripple sued by the SEC because XRP is a security, MicroStrategy purchased another $650M worth of BTC and Stodgy Mass Mutual bought $100M, Calvin Ayre is buying a small poor archipelago of around 15,000 people North of New Zealand for BSV, FinCEN released a notice that would require money businesses to verify the identity of customers with digital currencies 'œheld in unhosted wallets', Suredbits has devised a Discreet Log Contract for Difference to hold a USD position, and the stolen email and mailing addresses for Ledger cryptocurrency wallet users has appeared online. Coinbase is going public! Coinbase has filed for permission to have an IPO. Pending SEC approval, its shares can be listed on US Stock exchanges. In prep, Marc Andresson himself has taken the position as Chairman of the Board. In October 2018, Coinbase secured an investment of $300m that gave it a valuation of over $8bn, so expect an IPO valuation of well over this amount. Ripple sued by SEC. SEC Claims that XRP is a security and that Ripple has sold over $1.3B of it in an 'œongoing security offering'. MoneyGram, one of the 'œpartners' that Ripple has paid to use XRP over the years (and owns part of) has issued a 'œwait and see' statement. Some small US based exchanges are stopping trading. There have been some MASSIVE bitcoin buys by several companies over the last several weeks. MicroStrategy purchased another $650M worth. Stodgy Mass Mutual bought $100M. Apparently, Calvin Ayre is trying to buy the country of Tuvalu, a small poor archipelago of around 15,000 people North of New Zealand. The spin from CoinGeek is that Tuvalu will put all of its currency and other data onto BSV. From CoinGeek 'œAs Fai„ CEO George Siosi Samuels put it, Tuvalu could 'œleapfrog' other economies struggling to move to an all-digital, blockchain-based economy centered on the 'œTuvaluan National Digital Ledger.' The partnership's task is to deliver this ledger as a working demonstration of both blockchain technology and BSV's ability to process the volumes of data required, as well as the security and stability of its fixed, 'œset in stone' protocol.' The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has released a notice of proposed rulemaking that would require money services business to submit reports, keep records and verify the identity of customers as they relate to digital currencies 'œheld in unhosted wallets ' or held in wallets hosted in a jurisdiction identified by FinCEN.' FinCEN defined 'œunhosted wallets' as a 'œsoftware program or written record' through which users store the private keys needed to access and exchange cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. Ever wished you could HODL your Bitcoin AND Have fun staying poor? Suredbits has devised a Discreet Log Contract (DLC) just for you! The Contract for difference can use your Bitcoin to create synthetic USD. 'œOn December 17th, 2020, Roman and I (Nadav) entered into a special kind of Discreet Log Contract (DLC) called a Contract for Difference (CFD), or Discreet Log Contract for Difference (DLCFD) for short. Roman entered into the CFD with $22.80 worth of BTC, and exited with that same amount of USD even though the price of BTC moved. That is to say, if the price were to go down, then I would have to pay Roman to make up the difference so that he would exit with $22.80. If the price were to go up on the other hand, as it did, then Roman would have to pay me to make up for the difference and exit with that same fixed USD amount.' A threat actor has leaked the stolen email and mailing addresses for Ledger cryptocurrency wallet users on a hacker forum for free. In June 2020, Ledger suffered a data breach after a website vulnerability allowed threat actors to access customers' contact details. Earlier this week, a threat actor shared an

Description: Colin Aulds of Privacy Pros, formerly known as BillFodl, and the Unhashed Podcast comes on the Digital Cash Network podcast to talk about privacy in cryptocurrency, from using VPNs to Faraday bags for phones and even hardware wallets. We also cover self-custody, and whether or not people should hold their own Bitcoin because of the risk of loss, or if they should trust other parties. Finally we go into the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies and at what level will the average grandmother ever be comfortable holding their own keys.

'œToday, bitcoin is still an alternative treasury asset, but as larger and more powerful organizations begin to use Bitcoin directly, they will begin to tear away from the overreach of governments. This in and of itself will challenge the dynamics of governance and the nature of nation states as we currently know them." - Ck_snarks We all know that Bitcoin creates sovereignty and protects the individual's right to own and use money without the permission of government. But everything it provides to the individual, it can provide to a company as well. With the BitMEX example giving us a taste of what could be, Christian Keroles takes us through a great, quick read on the sovereignty of business enterprise in a Bitcoin world, and how it fundamentally changes the dynamics of governance, and removes the power to shut down the capital of the world.

In July, I tweeted that I would bet anyone $5,000 that Trump would lose the 2020 election. American Hodl took me up on the bet, and with the help of Phil Geiger we each deposited 0.5 BTC into a multisig. With the election this week, I caught up with American HODL three times, before, during and after the election to discuss everything that is happening. While Joe Biden went into the election as the clear favourite, according to the polls, it wasn't long before the narrative switched and by the early hours of election day UK time, Trump looked sure to win. The following morning, as the results of mail-in ballots hit the counts, the election swung back in favour of Biden. With Wisconsin and Michigan flipping democrat and Pennsylvania threatening to do the same, Biden looks like he may win the race to the Whitehouse. The election has not been without drama, with accusations from Donald Trump and his supporters of fraud. Now legal challenges are being submitted, and the path to a decision is unclear. In this interview, American HODL and I catch up before, during & after the US Election. We follow the ups and downs of election night, Trump threatening legal action in various states, demanding recounts and what happens between now and the inauguration.

The Bretton Woods agreement was created in 1944, following the end of the Second World War. The agreement pegged the US Dollar to gold, with other nations pegging their currencies to the dollar. The agreement was an attempt to stabilise economies after the devastation of the war. The IMF recently released an article in which they called the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic a 'œnew Bretton Woods moment.' Suggesting that the pandemic's effect on the economy and the substantial fiscal stimulus required may be too hard to come back from without change. The IMF announcement happened in the shadow of central banks around the world looking more and more at issuing their digital currencies. These Central Bank Digital Currencies, known as CBDCs, will give more power to the state over the control and flow of money. While this control does offer some benefits, they do also increase surveillance and reduce monetary freedoms. Are we in the midst of a revolution in money? And what does it mean for Bitcoin? In this interview, I am joined by Raoul Pal, macroeconomist and co-founder & CEO of Real Vision. We discuss the IMF considering a new Bretton Woods type system, central banks issuing digital currencies and what this means for Bitcoin.

Julia Tourianski rejoins the program, and this time she's bringing more of a spiritual side to the conversation as she and Tatiana discuss a very personal topic: her Orthodox Christian faith. She talks about why spending more than two decades as an atheist led to an even stronger connection with Christ, and why she feels the Orthodox church best represents the intent of Jesus Christ. She shares her thoughts on The Bible, death, the afterlife, and -- to bring discussion full-circle -- why she feels the trend of depicting Christ as a socialist is theologically unsound. Julie also talks about a new book she has co-authored, Thank God for Bitcoin: The Creation, Corruption & Redemption of Money, available now at Amazon. Click here to get your copy! About the Guest: Julia Tourianski (also known as Brave the World) is a promoter of anti-state mentality. She makes videos, writes articles, and helps organize events such as Toronto's Liberty Now. Julia has close ties with the Ludvig Von Mises Institute of Canada, where she is a contributor and volunteer. She's known to say that she's in a love affair with private property, the free-market, non-aggression, self-ownership, and freedom. Oh, and her bitcoin address ends with "FU," which is quite telling.

We round things off with a nice discussion about what each of us were to do if bitcoin failed, and the ethics of cannibalism. It gets about as weird as you expect it to.
