In this episode I discuss a topic that comes up quite often for me, a Gold Standard vs a Bitcoin Standard.

I'm not an expert so please tell me where I got it wrong, or where I got it right. Definitions I talk about: Tokens/Token Holders - create tokens by staking ether in the smart contract, each token has proportional voting rights, and own...

In this episode I talk about "blockchain no bitcoin" in regards to R3CEV's new funding round. I also, dissect the Morgan Stanley blockchain paper from last month.
