Fareed Zakaria and Edward Snowden Debate the Limits of Encryption By Kevin Rizzo | April 27, 2016
“Government should have lawful access to any encrypted message or device.” That was the resolution at the center of a debate between CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and Edward Snowden, former NSA contractor and infamous (or famous, depending on your opinions) leaker of classified information.

Great article from blockchain.info's co-founder. Blockchain Co-Founder Nicolas Cary: You Can Be Your Own Bank

This is a particularly important topic:
"We are looking forward into the future and we think we are going to continue to be able to provide financial services for a millions of people around the world and there is no financial system on the planet that can compete with that today. The use-cases for a Bitcoin continue to evolve. Right now we see cross border payments as having a great potential, as well as digital payments for digital goods being very popular - people buying songs online, people buying digital content  and games, things like that".

He sees microtransactions as an interesting and evolving use-case of Bitcoin. However, it is still rare, because of the underdevelopment in fee-structures and scaling protocols.

That is an interesting headline and certainly caught my attention. In my opinion, what the author proposed is far from being a viable solution even if the bank is interested in uᴉoɔʇᴉq. A full-reserve banking scenario for a single bank is hard enough to pull off; for the entire banking system is but a dream. It is always easier to write about a concept than to actually make it happened.


“uᴉoɔʇᴉq could be an interesting option to tackle full-reserve banking in the financial industry. The way this could work is by using uᴉoɔʇᴉq as a hedge against banks, and assets could be accounted for on the blockchain. Transparency in full-reserve banking is of the essence, yet it is also one trait most banks are lacking right now.

Achieving this goal will be difficult, though, as banks have no apparent interest in uᴉoɔʇᴉq.”


The Viability of uᴉoɔʇᴉq In A Full-Reserve Banking Scenario

Posted on7:00 pm March 27, 2016 AuthorJP BuntinxCategoriesBitcoin, News, Opinion


uᴉoɔʇᴉq could be an interesting option to tackle full-reserve banking in the financial industry. The way this could work is by using uᴉoɔʇᴉq as a hedge against banks, and assets could be accounted for on the blockchain. Transparency in full-reserve banking is of the essence, yet it is also one trait most banks are lacking right now.

uᴉoɔʇᴉq is often referred to as being many things, ranging from a commodity to currency, and even a solution to solving all of the financial trouble in unbanked and underbanked regions. But very few people believe uᴉoɔʇᴉq has the potential to change reserve banking altogether, allowing consumers to be no longer enslaved to the banking ecosystem. While there is serious doubt central bank-issued currency will ever disappear completely, uᴉoɔʇᴉq could end up becoming a full-reserve banking solution.

uᴉoɔʇᴉq is Financial Freedom
At its core, the uᴉoɔʇᴉq protocol is designed to give consumers and business owners complete control over their finances at any given time. Although there is a lot of focus on the financial side of using uᴉoɔʇᴉq technology, this point needs to be hammered until people understand uᴉoɔʇᴉq is not just the technology, but it is a viable currency as well.

When getting involved in uᴉoɔʇᴉq, the sole user is responsible for keeping their funds safe. There are no banks or governments involved, and this thought scares a lot of people. Up until this point, there has been a fair amount of handholding by these established financial players. However, everyone needs to remember banks and governments are the root cause of the financial trouble the entire world is in right now.

That being said, it is unlikely to see government-issued currencies going away anytime soon. Replacing the legacy systemand financial infrastructure all at once will be quite the challenge, even though a good amount of uᴉoɔʇᴉq community members would like nothing more than for that to become a reality. However, there is a chance for both fiat currency and uᴉoɔʇᴉq to complement each other, in a rather straightforward way.
Reforming Full-Reserve Banking
Reserve banking is an integral part of the fiat currency ecosystem and comes in two different forms. The version one Reddit user was interested in, is full-reserve banking. The way this principle works is by forcing banks to keep a portion of each depositor’s funds in cash, which can be withdrawn on demand. Some people may have noticed that depending on the amount of money they want to withdraw from an account, there is a waiting period involved.

Moreover, the funds deposited in these on-demand accounts would not be loaned by the bank to anyone else, as doing otherwise would be a violation of the legal requirements. It comes as no surprise to find out no country in the world requires full-reserve banking at this stage, despite monetary reforms advocating this change since back in 1935.

uᴉoɔʇᴉq could be an interesting option to tackle full-reserve banking in the financial industry. The way this could work is by using uᴉoɔʇᴉq as a hedge against banks, and assets could be accounted for on the blockchain. Transparency in full-reserve banking is of the essence, yet it is also one trait most banks are lacking right now.

Achieving this goal will be difficult, though, as banks have no apparent interest in uᴉoɔʇᴉq. While they are exploring the boundaries of issuing their digital currencies in the future, they will not be suitable candidates for full-reserve banking. uᴉoɔʇᴉq has many advantages, but it will take quite some time – if ever – until banks embrace this concept as part of the financial ecosystem.

Absolutely, there are plenty of affiliate marketers out there that I'm sure would love to promote the book as well.

This is pretty cool, will be interesting to follow along to see where it leads: USAA Expands Bitcoin Integration to All Members

USAA is expanding its bitcoin integration by allowing all accountholders to connect and view balances on Coinbase from its USAA.com website following its November pilot program.

In a post today, USAA called the pilot run successful and stated that support for the mobile app would likely be rolled out in March. Both USAA.com and the USAA mobile apps were part of the initial trial.

Going to have a designer work on the cover for the book. For your reference, here is the mock design. We have changed a few things since, like the title Improve Your Odds: The Four Pillars of Business Success. If anyone has any ideas, or is interested in participating in the design, now would be a good time. We are getting closer by the day, so we want to get everything ready.

It is looking more promising, Mark. As a group, Alt-cap-to Btc-Cap has been slowly gaining ground.

More about the book I am writing:

This book is one of the winning strategies of DNotes. It is also a crucial component of CRISP For Retirement and CRISP for Employee Incentive Benefits. Additionally, at $24.95, it is a revenue generator for the new company of which DNotes will own up to 25%. Each project we are involved in is a building block and they are all strategically linked. We are committed to be the best in class and always prepared to go the extra mile, doing things others won't do so that one day we would be in the position to do things others couldn't do. DNotes is a classic case in point to showcase many of the principles and business philosophies mentioned in the book. The book is intended to be of significant help for small business owners and startups.

Consider these:

According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau:

There 6 million operating (active) businesses in the United States with the following employment breakdown:

3,791,000     4 or less employees
1,000,000     5 to 9 employees
600,000        19 to 19 employees
500,000        20 to 99 employees
90,000      100 to 499 employees
18,000      500 to 10,000 employees
1,000      10,000 or more employees

“The U.S. Census Bureau reports that the total number of new business startups and business closures per year -- the birth and death rates of American companies -- have crossed for the first time since the measurement began. I am referring to employer businesses, those with one or more employees, the real engines of economic growth. Four hundred thousand new businesses are being born annually nationwide, while 470,000 per year are dying.”

“Because we have misdiagnosed the cause and effect of economic growth, we have misdiagnosed the cause and effect of job creation. To get back on track, we need to quit pinning everything on innovation, and we need to start focusing on the almighty entrepreneurs and business builders. And that means we have to find them,” according to Jim Clifton is Chairman and CEO of Gallup. He is the author of The Coming Jobs War and coauthor of Entrepreneurial StrengthsFinder

Great article Evander, it is an interesting form of democracy, though I think the miners may have too much power over the decision making process.

Nice volume and good uptrend. Good to see some support.

Did eBay start allowing you to sell digital currency on there now? I think for a while it wasn't permitted, and you could only list them in the classifieds.

I am guilty of being attracted to the article at first because of its title, but it definitely has some good points.
