it is 2019 how does that happen it's the year of Blade Runner welcome everyone to
our very first show of the year we're going to continue the trend that we had
last week where we look back on 2018 and explore what people think is gonna
happen this year in the year of crypto we first speak to our meet Chris Coney
and he gives us a bit of insight on the year combine the year ahead but it goes
from pillar tell us about the lead up to their wallet launch Bix Weir gives us
his thoughts on what's been going on and what could be happening in the year
ahead we went to the launch of Debitum last year so we're checking back in with
those guys the 'Debitum Danc'e and we also haven't
spoken to Abi from WandX for a while so we had a chat with him about
what's been going on over there but in the meantime we're gonna do the news
first up from News BTC Bitcoin Bulls are ready to run why crypto is about to take
off again over the past 12 months Bitcoin has continued to fall dragging
the entire crypto market down with it the daddy of all digital currencies hit
a 16 month low in mid-december when it fell below 3,200 dollars things could be
on the verge of a reversal soon though according to analysts a positive start
to 2019 a new technical analysis suggests that trends are about to turn
for Bitcoin and its brethren an indicator used to detect trend reversal
shows that Bitcoin is in its longest buying streak for six months according
to Forbes in stark contrast to this and ironically from news bTW see also on the
same day a prominent BTC analyst says the bottom is not in and we should
expect the full tech somewhere between 1800 and 2400 dollars
Bitcoin hasn't bought in just yet says Murad Mamedov a leading cryptocurrency
analysts and economists Mamedov claimed that BTC is still in the process of
finding a long-term foothold explaining that the world's first crypto currency
is most likely to bottom somewhere between the 1800 to 2000 $400 range for
some perspective a two thousand dollar price level would require a further drop
of an additional 50 percent from current prices not the end of the world but a
dismal move nonetheless he also hinted at his intent to launch a crypto centric
hedge fund in the near future and noted that a number of old coins like ether
eels XRP among others are still drastically overvalued especially
considering they're often misconstrued value propositions from CCN aetherium
continues its impressive run and its up 35 percent in one week within seven days
the etherium prices increased from 117 dollars to 159 dollars by over 35
percent against the US dollar making it one of the best performing crypto assets
throughout the past two months analysts have attributed the positive price
movement of aetherium to its upcoming Constantinople hard fork the fork is set
to decrease the block reward of aetherium from three to two reducing the
potential circulating sub atheria min the long-term major
cryptocurrency exchanges have announced support for the hard fork which is
expected to occur between January 14th to 18th from coin Telegraph crypto needs
rules says new Gemini ad campaign the Gemini crypto currency exchange founded
by the Winklevoss twins in 2014 is calling for better regulation of the
crypto space in a new ad campaign The Wall Street Journal reports On January
the 4th placards on taxis and in the New York subway contains slogans like crypto
needs rules while simultaneously suggesting that gemini already provides
a regulatory compliant exchange for investors other slogans include money
has a future and crypto without chaos chris rowan head of marketing at gemini
told The Wall Street Journal we believe that investors come into
cryptocurrency deserve the exact same protections as investors in more
traditional markets adhering to the same standards practices regulations and
compliance protocols some in the crypto space have criticized the ads saying the
introduction of anti money laundering and know your customer and other
security measures is antithetical to the founding principles of crypto currencies
so our extended blockchain banter this week hears from a number of friends that
we've been talking to and working quite closely with over the last year first up
is our very good friend Chris Carney who I'm very jealous of his intellect a lot
of the time from the Crypt a verse about his thoughts on 2018 and what to look
forward to this year
so continuing our kind of look at the year that's been and maybe a look into
the crystal war for the year ahead we have our friend Chris Kony with us hey
I'm here ash nice to be back again so tell us first of all kind of give me
your kind of 2018 round up it was a pretty tough old year for we felt like
we've been in the trenches but what would their kind of standout moments for
you so what I did I just went back through my entire video catalog for 2018
and picked out that major highlight so we started the year
$14,000 Bitcoin we remember 20 cable that was actually December so we started
generate fares to $14,000 pit coin and we ended friending the year below 4,000
so year-long bare market the key moment really this year in terms of price was
the 14th of November when we broke down below $6,000 Bitcoin that was the first
time that had happened in 12 months it was around about the 14th of November to
late 2017 when we broke up of 6k for the first time so I thought that was kind of
interesting it's almost exactly 12 months from 6k up to 20 and back to 6
again say a cyclical kind of moved there but yeah it was I think that obviously
this year there's been lots of the kind of naysayers have been out going yeah we
told you so with this and lots of people also saying we've been through this
cycle loads and loads of times before do you just view this as it's another
part of the Bitcoin cycle of volatility I do however this was the first full
year that we've had a Bitcoin futures markets operating because that launched
on the 17th of December 2017 which coincided with the all-time high and
there was speculation as to what that was going to do was going to push it
even further or was it going to allow people to push it down and maybe the
futures market has something to do with the bear market this year but the first
year we've had futures operating fully so we'll see in future years and what I
mean what do you think's the the likely trends gonna be for 2019
I mean it's so difficult looking back at all these videos of everybody making
predictions from last year the one thing you could rely on pretty much is that
everybody was wrong is there run do you feel optimistic or do you feel that
we've still got some more capitulation they're pretty optimistic one of the one
of the things that the bear market is tall of ico is about treasury management
so a lot of that craziness is I don't think that's going to happen again
because I think it almost learnt their lesson and also there's lots of staple
coins they've launched this year which makes it cognitively easier for people
to like deposit money with an exchange or something and then get the stable
coin equivalent whether it's circle dollars or whatever and measuring
everything in dollars I think he's gonna make it a lot easy for people to sort of
get the head around it then 2019 oh there's so many is like 60 or 70 stable
coins now which will make it easier for people to to get in and out of so I
think that's a good development in it for the time being I know when we
chatted a while ago you made a very good point that sort of 2018 was about a lot
of building of infrastructure and you know there was all this kind of money
coming in 2017 and a lot of those roads and super highways have been built and
the rest of it that will hopefully allow people to transact easier do you still
feel the same way absolutely absolutely good good
transition there so I think we're almost at the point now
where our attention is going to move away from the infrastructure because the
rate of which like new block chains are going to be launched I think that's
going to start to die down now I think what we've got now is probably 80% of
the platforms that we're gonna have going forward it's then they're going to
be a question of all this new fancy app which platform is it gonna choose and
it'll be one of like ten you know the Neos the EOS is the theorems and that's
where the discussion will be around not other than another blockchain or another
this I think we've pretty much got a big enough toolkit now to say right this
this law can pretty much do anything these ten blob chains now it's a case of
horses for courses and which app will be fairly I'll be the app they'll get the
attention and then what they're building on so the attention will go away from
like the Internet infrastructure and more to the actual web apps they're
being built for the blockchain equivalents well I just wanted to say
one of my favorite things from this year was when we were hurtling around Las
Vegas and a bright yellow Lamborghini I think when I look back at the year
that will be one of the fondest memories it was a fun day that we spent together
on your birthday I believe it wasn't it it wasn't my birthday yeah the D Meetup
you happen to be in the u.s. so you came down for that as well that was that was
pretty of all the best days of the year next up is a clip from pillar about
their highlights from the last year and what they're looking forward to with the
year ahead 2018 started very promising with with our first annual general
meeting in a demo of the pillow warning from there we had pillow races recording
a video saying why Peter is so important why we're doing what we're doing here
and then we invited you to be part of it we also had many articles including one
where David explains why bitcoin is not a bubble then pillar went to Vilnius
Lithuania to establish a partnership with the blockchain center over there
which is very important following up on that they've recorded an open letter to
regulators asking them not to suppress the innovations that our sector is
bringing to the table and that was only one of the many many talks that pillar
had with lawmakers and regulators and then of course we had our amazing
unconference in July with so many interesting people and so much
enlightening content that made it nothing short of a smashing success in
at the end conference we had many years testing new which received praise on its
overall design and user experience right after that we kicked off our beta
program with hundreds of users testing it weekly and giving us feedback
allowing us to improve the app each and every step of the way the year they
accumulated in our launch on both Android and iOS and with over 5,000
users our community is continually growing leading into the pillar vision
of giving you back control over your personal data through the pillar
platform we here feel are very thankful that you've stayed with us so far and we
are very thrilled about what 2019 will bring me 2019 be the best year for all
of us
last year I'm sure everyone will remember we went out to Vilnius and had
an amazing time at the debited Network launch so we decided to catch up with
Martens from Devon to see how their year has been and what they're up to great
great yeah Ashleigh 2018 was really great for us we managed to build the
first version in around six months we launched in September from day one there
were all the registered users on our platform they were supporting funds they
were investing in business loans so it has been really great beginning for us
we also managed to grow steadily so we grew up our user base our asset base so
we have more than 1300 users more than 300 of them are active investors we have
already found that the more than half a million I think it's it's quite nice in
terms of of what we just started so it's a really awesome year for us and in 2019
we plan building on top of that so we're building new features like also
investment in funds like other languages like German language and Spain Spanish
language and we're building new markets joining your markets very operate and
where we fund businesses and growing growing the business so continuing our
Year in Review and looking forward to 2019 we are chatting to bits we're from
Rotorua are you there Vic's yes I am it's good to talk to you
obviously 2018 was very different from 2017 and hopefully 2019 is going to be
very different from 2018 what was your kind of year review for last year in
your hopes for next year well this year sorry well I think the last year we got
a glimpse of just how powerful the old banking system is that for example
rigging markets up rigging markets down controlling the system lots of great
news for crypto currencies ahead of the scenes but the price just wouldn't do it
and then people started figuring out oh my god these these are rigged exchanges
and the Tres mayor came out with a great program
get your keys in your own possession so I have lots of Oh lots of tour 2019 if
we really understand just how powerful these market riggers are and do you
think is basically is that by taking control back from the market rigors that
we hopefully you know move forward in a more conducive way to this market
growing I think it's taking control back but also just exposing what they're
doing getting people knowledgeable that if
these crypto exchanges are trading you know 21 million bitcoins every 10 days
there's something wrong and I think that's when people recognize that we can
remove ourselves from those exchanges and only take exchanges that deal in one
for one where they actually hold your coin when you when you put money in and
I think that's a great thing if people can wake up to that yeah I know when I
was chatting to Chris Kony he was saying that a lot of it he feels is since the
futures market came in last December that's obviously when a lot of you know
kind of craziness has started to happen and could have had a major effect on the
bear market well I think the futures is one thing that's obviously derivatives
but the exchanges are derivatives as well they don't deal in real crypto
currencies they it those are not on blockchain events so they they just run
on how they ever want to run them none of these trades are really
Bitcoin trades these are derivative trades so there's a lot of clean up that
needs to be done because the old system wants to get their rigging power into
our crypto system we don't want them in here what are you excited about for the
year ahead what's what's kind of got you excited and feeling good about
everything my most exciting thought about the things to come is that when
the old banking system fails which is looking like it's on the brink of doing
we're gonna have an option we're gonna have an option to choose something else
and in 2008 we didn't have an option but 10 years worth of work hard work in the
crypto community now we have an option to go somewhere else with our financial
future and I guess whatever happens you also got sort of career as a
singer-songwriter now that you can concentrate on if all else goes tell
them what a little bit about that well I used to want to be a singer
songwriter back you know 30 years ago before I got into banking and then into
gold and silver and then kryptos and there's been a resurgence in in my
desire to do that so I'm writing crypto songs writing songs about the trials and
tribulations of living in the cryptocurrency world and the
manipulation and and it's an amazing tool to expose some of the criminality
within the banking system so check out some of my songs and if you like him
give me a thumbs up so it's been awhile since we've spoken to a be from one
decks so we thought we'd have a little chat with him and he can tell us what's
been going down over there are any 18 has been a great year prices have gone
up and down but in the overall crypto market but what we have built is our
custom basket protocol that allows people to trade in baskets or groups of
tokens we have built this on the ethereum blockchain we have built a text
on the ethereum blockchain we have built similar poured on the if neo eon and one
chain block sheets we pivoted from being a web application to a desktop
application hence enabling people to store and trade tokens peer-to-peer
without any central party much easier and make the user experience more smooth
what is coming up in 2019 is more looking into cross blockchain and Inter
blockchain operability by enabling not only say aetherium to Annie or 12 I on
kind of swap but also enabling from ERC 20 or ESC two to three to an a on base
token that is the 80s or a on token standard kind of swap how that layer can
be structured and how we can enable that on our desktop application we hope to
grow user base and grow as a company and build a brand for them so are you
worried in any way that aetherium simply isn't capable of scaling to meet your
requirements so it helium I think they're coming up with the
Constantinople update on Jan 15 or 16th after that I think you know scaling
probably is going to take time because to keep it be centralized and to have it
achieve high scale with the certain level of finality I think
take about two three years but after that I do see a theorem growing mainly
because of the soap of the number of developers the number of document amount
of documentation the entire kind of ecosystem is quite well built all the
tools required for a newbie to enter blockchain somebody is going to enter
using a theorem right now a new developer a Java developer is going to
enter it here iam enter blocked in using a theorem so that's why that's why I see
about two three years it's going to scale and hopefully we see many more
tabs on it here IAM
so we're back with everyone's favorite blockchain hound it's buddies blockchain
giveaway he says Happy New Year everyone who's thinking in his mind we have got
