22. TBR - BTC, Binance Hack, & the Mental State of Society
Monday Aug 12, 2019
Monday Aug 12, 2019
On episode 22, William and Iman discuss how Mr. Wonderful could be misleading people on the value and purpose of cryptocurrency. We go over two videos, one that occurred in may 2019 and another that was uploaded in April 2013. Kevin O’Leary has many positive things to say about Bitcoin but then has a different stance on it 6 years later. Could he really be manipulating people or has he changed his mind on crypto? Then we debate on the value of gold in comparison to Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is more scarce and harder to mine, are we approaching the peak of Gold? There are many developing situations around the globe that could contribute to the demise of humanity, including nuclear war, artificial intelligence, global warming, and an impending financial crisis. We discuss these dangers and how humanity’s resilience can withstand and thrive in a dwindling environment. We also look into the decentralized identity platform called Civic and discuss how decentralized identity could work.
1. First up, Pompliano vs. Kevin O’Leary - Does Mr Wonderful know more than what he’s showing?
2. In a 100 years, is Gold or Bitcoin more valuable?
3. How Decentralized Identity could work.
4. Finally, we assess the mental state of society.

21. TBR - How the FED Affects Bitcoin, Making Interest on Your Crypto Gains
Monday Aug 05, 2019
Monday Aug 05, 2019
On episode 21, William and Iman discuss the recovery Bitcoin has made in the last week indicating another bull run is apparent. It appears to be on its way to $14k again with not a lot of resistance. The Federal Reserve has cut 25 basis points (0.25%) from interest rates therefore encouraging spending; ultimately increasing the supply of the U.S. dollar. When the supply of the dollar increases the prices of everything goes up which impacts the price of Bitcoin directly. This could contribute to the price of Bitcoin exceeding $100K at its peak in this halvening cycle. What do you do with all the crypto gains you earned in this cycle? We discovered Compound where you can stake your DAI stable coin and earn up to 17% continuously compounding interest.
Topics:
- The FED cuts interest rates for the first time in10 years and how this affects the price of Bitcoin.
- The future of banking with decentralized finance applications.
- We discuss the usefulness of that college degree.
