Bitcoin Uncensored


E24 - "Jumping the Shark" 01/17/16

January 17, 2016

This week's theological journey starts with a discussion about the holy immutable commitment of marriage. (Or is marriage just secured by an ideological contingent of irrational miners?) swanluv.com says: ideological miners!

Speaking of mining, let's get some farty thoughts out in the open about just what's happening here in economic terms. We answer a lister question (thank-you for the ask Vivek!) We discuss the randsomware business (and business is good) AdamGuerbuez.com and Danny Brewster (Bitcoin weird!) Bitcoin Classic and the people behind it, R3 of course gets a mention (It's probably a scam). What's a blockchain? Well, Rob Mitchell tells us it's a typewriter, and loses his dignity over notarization. Ripple says fuck blockchains now - starts the Interledger pump. Lottery tickets for Bitcoin (probably a bad idea) Cryptsy scams us. (To be fair - We asked to be Scammed). Peter todd scams Coinbase (and they're thankful). No one will want to scam Open Bazaar (for which they'll be sorry). Chris Loses the Bank of England blockchain idea challenge. Coindesk wins the Barry Shillbert failing Bitcoin media company of year award (It was either them or Cointelgraph) the price dumps, ayn1k goes poof! NABC is coming.... and a really kick ass interview with Johnathan Chester of bitwage.

Get out the popcorn, and petition the mods to ban us, with this week's Bitcoin Uncensored!
