Ep. 4 - "Regulate This" (03/19/2016)

Unconfirmed Transactions

On this episode, I am joined again by Tone Vays to discuss a recent Congressional hearing on disruptive blockchain technology. We discuss privacy, encryption, regulation, government, and more. There's even a video of us doing it live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0fn7i_0srY Please note, I made a mistake with the audio so my mouth noises and touching the mic gets picked up more than it should. I will fix that going forward, I hope. Follow Dan: https://twitter.com/droplister Follow Tone: https://twitter.com/Tone_LLT Here are the links for content discussed in this show...
