E&E Bitcoin 'Cast

Ed and Ethan put on their final edition of Ed and Ethan’s Bitcoin Report, live for the Lets Talk Bitcoin network and KCAA 1050 AM. Despite every desire to stay, the guys have to suspend the Bitcoin show for now but they appreciate all of the support they’ve gotten from you, the listener. Tuur Demeester, a self educated economist and Bitcoin booster since 2012 joins us on the show to talk about the macro-economic view of Bitcoin’s future and present states. Also, Tuur gives us his insights into the Neo and Bee collapse in addition to his thoughts on the politics of Bitcoin. To get in touch with Tuur, go to https://twitter.com/tuurdemeester After the break, the guys behind Avalonic come on the show to tell us about their project. Avalonic aims to provide consumers with a cross platform Bitcoin application store (Apple users take note) that won’t be shut down by centrally managed app stores. Want a Bitcoin wallet on your iPhone? Avalonic has you covered!  Find out more at http://www.avalonic.com/ http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/EdandEthanShows&x=1 http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/E2Bitcoin&x=1 http://www.EdandEthan.com feedback@edandethan.com Donate bitcoins at: 12CEuFuAXLPQLe679ZHEsXqYgMfzT1p9qn

Ethan takes the reigns and immediately consumes the first six and a half minutes of the show with a technical malfunction. Ed was probably slow clapping in the distance with a disappointed look on his face. After the technical snafu, Ethan takes the opportunity to go solo on how people percieve Bitcoin and whe he’s so anti-regulation. After the break, Ethan connects with Cameron Ruggles, the creator of BitWasp, to talk to him about his open sourced project that will give anyone the keys to an online marketplace focused on privacy and security. Cameron is utilizing features of the Bitcoin Protocol to bring new functionality to marketplace users and operators that make the old way of doing things far less competative for those who are concerned with their privacy and informational security.  Find out more on the developoment forums at www.bit-wasp.org http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/EdandEthanShows&x=1 http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/E2Bitcoin&x=1 http://www.EdandEthan.com feedback@edandethan.com Donate bitcoins at: 12CEuFuAXLPQLe679ZHEsXqYgMfzT1p9qn

The man who was our very first guest (writing history as the first guest to appear on the first live to air Bitcoin themed talk show on commercial radio) comes back on the show. Anthony Di Iorio with the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada and too many other companies/organizations to list, comes back to tell us all about Bitcoin Expo 2014 coming up right away in Toronto, ON.

Coin CPA works with Bitcoin (in addition to a veritable cornucopia of other crypto-currencies) and offers customers a way to sort a lot of information that would normally only be achievable using a pile of spreadsheets and more time than a human being can possibly physically allocate.

Tonight on Ed and Ethan’s Bitcoin Report, we sat down for an interview with Dr. Michael Frank, Associate in Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, He is a mathematician, and crypto investor.

In the second segment we got to talk with Scott Robinson, who is the founder of Silicon Valley’s “Plug and Play Bitcoin Incubator”. We were lucky enough to chat with Scott about his work there, the promising start-ups going thru his incubator, and how he is helping to cushion those start-ups from tempestuous sea of government regulation. https://angel.co/plug-and-play-bitcoin http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/EdandEthanShows&x=1 http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/E2Bitcoin&x=1 http://www.EdandEthan.com feedback@edandethan.com Donate bitcoins at: 12CEuFuAXLPQLe679ZHEsXqYgMfzT1p9qn

One of the most notable Bitcoin exchanges is melting down and some Bitcoiners are in a tizzy about it. Ethan sounds off on how demands for regulation are absolute lunacy if we just look at the world around us. Regulators are demonstrably incompetent! After a short break, we talk to Davi Barker, the Muslim agorist about an encounter with the TSA. Davi was stopped when the TSA noticed he had some Bitcoin stuff in his bag and they wanted to “count” Bitcoin” or something. Yeah…it doesn’t make any sense. http://www.bitcoinnotbombs.com/  http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/EdandEthanShows&x=1 http://feeds.feedblitz.com/edandethan/E2Bitcoin&x=1 http://www.EdandEthan.com feedback@edandethan.com Donate bitcoins at: 12CEuFuAXLPQLe679ZHEsXqYgMfzT1p9qn

A listener points us to a recent video put out by Storm Clouds Gathering on youtube that purports to reveal a fatal flaw in the design of Bitcoin that no one is paying any attention to. Is the FUDster telling it like it is or is he sadly misguided? http://youtu.be/PfeA94BedQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdAndEthan http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdAndEthanbitcoincast feedback@edandethan.com Donate bitcoins at: 12CEuFuAXLPQLe679ZHEsXqYgMfzT1p9qn

A couple of examples of Bitcoins utility as a transactional device have made their way through the news cycle and they could be important simply because of contrasting examples from the past. http://lamborghininewportbeach.blogspot.ca/2013/12/we-just-sold-our-very-first-vehicle.htmlhttp://rt.com/usa/vicco-kentucky-bitcoin-salary-725/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdAndEthan http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdAndEthanbitcoincast feedback@edandethan.com Donate bitcoins at: 12CEuFuAXLPQLe679ZHEsXqYgMfzT1p9qn

After a grassroots push to have common references to Bitcoin refer to subunits rather than whole units, popular market data provider Bitcoinity has responded to the communitys demands. People cruising to their website will now see, by default, Bitcoin price displayed relative to 1/1000th of a Bitcoin. www.bitcoinity.org/markets/http://www.EdandEthan.com http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdAndEthan http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdAndEthanbitcoincast feedback@edandethan.com Donate bitcoins at: 12CEuFuAXLPQLe679ZHEsXqYgMfzT1p9qn
