July 29th from NYC: This was one of our more popular episodes even though it was longer than usual. Here is the TLDR:
1. Ethreum Classic – now that Ether has Hard Forked and we have two Ether's I provide the opinion of how they are both equally useless. I also criticize Barry Silbert for publicly stating he bought ETC as I saw the move as Irresponsible for someone in his position.
2. Steem Ponzi – I had not had time to go beyond the 9 pages of the WP going into this rant so there were plenty of things I said that were factually incorrect. However, in reality, Steemit is actually much worse than I though it was now that i have finished the entire paper. (Article coming soon)
3. Judge Ruling Bitcoin is NOT Money – This was an interesting and correct decision by the judge. It was also local and has no meaning Federally. Life would be very difficult for Bitcoiners if it actually becomes Money. The State is also Appealing the decision.
4. Blocksize Debate – I like Roger Ver but I still disagree with him on the need for bigger blocks right now. I understand his argument but still disagree. Also get critical of Brian Armstrong once again for trying to overthrow Reddit moderators + another support pledge for Blockstream.
