RZFantastic interview! Thank you both. What I don't understand is if USDT is so untransparent in its holdings, why is it still so dominant? with other alternatives, I would think that uses would chose to use a more transparent and less risky stablecoin?

TPAnother day, another RV Crypto interview that insists on using the "Bitcoin Maximalist" slur coined by ETH dictator Vitalik Buterin. Seriously Ash, you're a journalist and you can't just use "Bitcoiner"? Every time RV does this, it just makes you look like a bunch of rubes. I don't get why you want to alienate a good portion of your userbase by insisting on this phrase. As for the guest -- I can spot a statist a mile away -- He pulls out the usual tropes "Too Volatile" and infers that fiat is "stable". He also is way behind in the stablecoin space - and it shows. This is the kind of guy who thinks his account balance is fully insured by the FDIC. He thinks that inflation isn't a "big deal" and pretty much is totally dependent on the existing system, so he thinks like an academic or someone hip-deep in banking. Eh, I'm tired of giving away info -- so I'll just let him wallow for kicks.

BpOh man - I'm about a hundred pages in to Mastering Blockchain - it's so excellent! I don't code, but it relays the concepts so well. What a delight to then stumble into this interview. And thanks for the wonderful book Daniel!

LDAsh - great interview as always. You have a skill with what you do. Watching the Tether situation closely. This could have a domino effect not just in the Crypto space but in the US stock market as well. When you have premier names like Tesla, Square, Paypal entering this space you will see repercussions up and down.

JCIf you want to use a "private blockchain" for its immutability (nobody is allowed to tamper with the history), isn't what you really need just a git repository? Calling it 'blockchain' is just trying to use a marketing buzzword to make it seem more sophisticated than it really is. At least half of the sophistication and complexity of public blockchain protocols is in the mechanism to disincentivize bad actors. Take that part away and you are left with just something akin to a git repository.

PUI have to give a huge hat tip to Ash. Ash, you have become such an excellent journalist and interviewer! Well done.

CBAwesome interview

JHGreat interview. The Tether situation seems concerning. If they turn out to be wirecard 2.0, it could set the entire space back quite a bit and potentially even eject some institutions.

WSSorry - didn't listen to 85%...

CCBring in the legacy regulators...and THEN the innovation can happen? What does it even mean to regulate a smart contract? It has no borders, it's just code on the blockchain. The innovation is already happening at a rapid clip. CME futures are not the future.
-
cwGood interview. Well reasoned and informed. Obviously it would have been hard for either of them to know what was going to happen a day or two later. I think it's hard for anyone that's using conventional indicators, etc. to anticipate price movement in btc. By all measures RSI is blown out, but then again, wasn't RSI blown out for TSLA?

WSNeed somebody who can layout the various competing factions in the digital; buildout space - ie pro's cons of various projects and potential....
-
WSRequest - bring on again ARCA CIO/Analyst from his team...thx

VPAsh, you are doing a great job. Keep pressing on man. Well done as always. V

DHThanks guys. Good overview of the current market. Tether especially looks like at least a short-term risk. They have stated that some of their assets are kept in crypto: how much is anybody’s guess—obviously works great going up. Some transparency here would sure help market participants to fairly judge risk. P.S. NFTs seem like they are on the verge of break into the mainstream. Would be really interesting to here how artists and such are using them (e.g., Opensea, et. al.)

MWI envy the skill, talent, the sheer mastery of Ash Bennington as a host. He´s both always spot on and just incredibly self-restrained in guiding his guests through the matter. There are not many hosts out there who raise up to Ash. Wow.
