November 18th from NYC: This was a great episode as the list of topics was very important, here is the TLDR.
1. Coinbase vs. IRS – I explain why I saw this coming and have advised everyone to not only stay away from Coinbase but also never to use Bitcoin in connection with their real name and/address for any reason. This applies mostly for US Citizens and to slightly lesser extent EU and AU.
2. India Price Surge – India decided to do some thing stupid with their paper currency, they are not totally canceling their two largest bills (like the talk in the US and EU) but they are taking them out of circulation and replacing them with a new form of the bill. This make no sense at all but yes it is slightly positive for Bitcoin
3. Game of Satoshi – Gavin is all over the place, people need to stop listening to him (me included)
4. Bitcoin Mining is Unsustainable – No it is not
5. Riksbank – We finally have a bank that understands the importance of a Bear Asset, but will Sweden create a token like that or will they ignore the global need for this like everyone else.
