"More Crypto News Than You Can Fit In A Bitcoin Block"
🔈 Download/stream Neocash Radio episode 168 here 🔈
Yesterday marked my second appearance the Neocash Radio podcast! We discussed some of the newer "big names" joining Steem... such as @larkenrose, @sterlinluxan, Jeff Berwick ( @dollarvigilante ), Free Talk Live host Ian Freeman ( @ftlian ) and Dogecoin creator Jackson Palmer ( @ummjackson ), among others. We also chatted about how rapidly Steem is growing, some concerns with how much a whale's vote can be worth, and more. The Steem talk begins around the 8:23 mark, and we'll definitely be covering any big developments as they happen for future shows.
We also covered a few other important items in the currency markets this week:
- Could the Bitfinex / Bitgo hack be an inside job? What are the unintended consequences of the socialized losses they're proposing?
- UK Gambling Commission calls Bitcoin a “cash equivalent” -- yet another definition from yet another jurisdiction. Some courts say it's money, others say it's property or a digital asset, or a cash equivalent... Bitcoin doesn't conform to the government's stodgy labels!
- Negative interest rates strike German retail bank; customers will have to pay to store their cash.
- World Bank issues bonds denominated in Special Drawing Rights in China’s interbank bond market.
- More Bitcoin debit cards are hitting the market, but are they a good thing?
- TradeZero launches first 'dark pool' exchange for Bitcoin
- DDoSCoin: Cryptocurrency created by participating in DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks
- How blockchains could advance "robotic swarm" technology -- and what that could mean for farming and food production, just as one example.
- Are members of the Ethereum Dev team dumping big amounts of Ethereum Classic (ETC)?
- First major court ruling against a Bitcoin exchange in China goes to OKCoin; government claims that business was improperly registered and facilitates criminal money-laundering.
About Neocash Radio
Neocash Radio is now in its third year, and it is a great resource for those looking to get a weekly update on what's happening in the world of traditional currency markets as well as cryptocurrency markets. Co-hosts JJ Epic ( @jjepic ) and Dr. Darren Tapp ( @newhampshire ) have been gracious enough to let me join in on some of the reporting!Speaking of Darren, he wrote up a really smart essay for the Neocash blog yesterday: "Why I Won't Encourage Businesses to Take Bitcoin."

About me
My name is Randy Clemens and I am the author of The Sriracha Cookbook, The Veggie-Lover’s Sriracha Cookbook, and co-author of The Craft of Stone Brewing Co. I am a graduate of the California School of Culinary Arts and am featured in the award-winning Sriracha—a documentary film by Griffin Hammond.
In early 2015, I moved from Los Angeles to participate in the Free State Project, a geopolitical movement getting 20,000+ libertarians to relocate to New Hampshire to decrease the size and draconian reach of the government while protecting individual liberties.
You can read more about me on my Steemit introduction post! And if one (or more) of the things I've written about here tickles your fancy, you can follow my musings on Twitter via @SrirachaBook and @RandyClemensEsq.

I'm glad to see the show evolving. Thanks for the post!
This is a really great show! Thanks Randy!
Hey Randy! I featured you in my series about people who I feel are not getting noticed on Steemit:

@derekareith, thanks for sharing @randyclemens' work! He's a good friend and a passionate activist. The video you embedded in your article was one I helped film and I'm very grateful for Randy for making it all happen. The FSP is something I'm very excited about, so again, thank you for helping get Randy's page out to a broader audience. I see some big things coming down the pike! :)
Awesome job on the video! And glad to meet another friend from the Shire! :)
Once I get my restaurant on Steemit, we'll need to get all of you to come out for a Steemit event at our function hall. I still got some work on my end, but I'm gonna make it happen. It's a great place, too.
Awesome, let me know if there's any way you think I can help!
Will do :)
Thanks @derekareith! I really appreciate it! :)
I'm really thankful y'all spend the time to put these analyses together, discuss them in great detail, and then produce quality, independent programming for folks to learn from. Keep it up guys!
Nice Post, Randy. :)
