We did not think it was a big deal cause the dallas fed building is located right next to the biggest urban park in dallas.  There were over 1,000 people in the park that day and we stood on their grass property to get the fed logo in our video.  We were not shooting the video there to stir up drama...

Lesson learned...

Tai Zen

We stood on the grass because there is a major highway exit ramp right next to the sidewalk and we didn't want to get hit by oncoming cars while shooting the video that is why we were standing on their grass.  We did not think it was a big deal... lol

Tai Zen

They asked us to step off their grass, they didn't say anything as long as we were on the sidewalk.

However....

Here are my Ethereum price projections for 2016:

http://prisonorfreedom.com/currency-analysis-11-ethereum-outlook-and-price-prediction-for-2016/

If you bought Ethereum during the IPO, now would be a good time to sell a portion to recoup your initial investment so you have no more risk since we are near a major resistance area.  :-)

This is the most user friendly wallet I have found so far and I made a tutorial on it in case anyone else needs to convert their presale ethers into bitcoin:

If any of you techies spot any glaring mistakes in the tutorial, please let me know. Thanks!

It has been a nightmare for me to set up the Ethereum Frontier wallet and after multiple attempts with help from my techie friends I had to find a different solution.

My buddy Leon suggested I use MyEtherWallet.com and it was a thousand times easier

I made this video tutorial so a) I can remember it myself how to do it again in the future and b) for my other non-techie friends who want to convert their presale ethers as well:

Leon Fu and I evaluated the current development and progress of Ethereum yesterday in a live YouTube broadcast.

If you missed it, you can watch the recording here:

http://prisonorfreedom.com/currency-analysis-11-ethereum-outlook-and-price-prediction-for-2016/

In the video, I also do an analysis of the Ethereum price charts and give my predictions for Ethereum's price could be in 2016 based on the technical analysis of Ethereum.

The recent video by James DeAngelo from the World Bitcoin Network had some really deep and profound insights on how voting is flawed in Congress and proposes a $5 cardboard box solution.

If you missed the video, be sure to check it out at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gEz__sMVaY

It's interesting how Congress works behind the scenes sometimes...

Along the same line...

Last year, I was on a business trip to Rhode Island and had the opportunity to run into a health care industry lobbyist named, Brian Files who seemed very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the U.S. Congress and how laws and stuff get passed in America.

Being a the bitcoin supporter that I am... out of curiosity... I asked Brian if he had ever heard of bitcoin and what his thoughts were on it... and if he had heard anything through the "grapevines" about bitcoin on Capital Hill?

Brian shared with me some profound insights on what it would take for Bitcoin to succeed from a legal and legislative perspective.  It was some fascinating stuff so I asked him if I could record our conversation and share it with the bitcoin community so everyone can benefit from it.

Here is the 4 part interview:

http://prisonorfreedom.com/1-of-4-u-s-lobbyist-explains-his-1st-impressions-of-bitcoins-by-u-s-lobbyist-brian-files/

http://prisonorfreedom.com/2-of-4-why-bitcoin-needs-a-grassroots-plan-to-bypass-big-banks-big-energy-in-congress-by-u-s-lobbyist-brian-files/

http://prisonorfreedom.com/3-of-4-why-bitcoin-has-to-become-legal-tender-in-order-to-succeed-by-u-s-lobbyist-brian-files/

http://prisonorfreedom.com/4-of-4-how-to-lobby-lawmakers-to-embrace-bitcoin-by-u-s-lobbyist-brian-files/

Similar to James DeAngelo's video about the cardboard box reform... Brian does a good job explaining the problems that bitcoin will face from a legislative perspective and then he shares what he believes to be a possible solution to overcoming those challenges.

Let me know what you guys think about the interview especially about the grassroots approach that Brian talks about in the interview.

In part 2, Brian talks about how it will be a tough battle to get pass the big banks and big energy lobbyist in congress... Can bitcoin go head to head with the big banks and big energy lobbyists?

I think we need someone like Brian Files on bitcoin's side!  LOL! The Bitcoin Foundation can definitely use him for sure when it comes to lobbying for bitcoin... LOL!

I still believe the Breadwallet will be a huge game changer this year in bitcoin due to it's ease and simplicity.

Tai Zen

@voisine - Thanks for the clarification.

Tai Zen

I have also argued that the biggest obstacle to mainstream adoption of bitcoin (in addition to SECURITY) is SIMPLICITY and USER FRIENDLINESS...

Henry Ford (or someone famous) once said that... people hate to THINK...

If people have to think and figure out how to download, install and use bitcoins... it will be very difficult to gain mainstream adoption.

The solution?

I recently got introduced to the first iOS native bitcoin app for the iPhone by my buddy Leon Fu.  It is called Breadwallet and developed by Aaron Voisine.

Leon and I kickback and do a comprehensive review about this innovative app:

http://prisonorfreedom.com/ios-native-bitcoin-breadwallet-comprehensive-review-testing/

We believe this to be one of the greatest innovations in 2014 to help gain mainstream adoption of bitcoin.

I learned a lot about bitcoin while interviewing Leon for this video and i hope you benefit from it as well.

Let me know what you guys think.

Enjoy!

A year ago I never thought I would be able to:

-- buy the world's most powerful laptop from dell with btc...

-- book a flight with expedia...

-- see Bank of America take time out from pillaging the public to report on btc...
https://ciphrex.com/archive/bofa-bitcoin.pdf

-- see bank of england step away from the money printing presses to put out, not one, but 2 reports on btc today...
http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Pages/quarterlybulletin/2014/qb14q3prereleasedigitalcurrenciesbitcoin.aspx


As far as I'm concerned.... 2014 has been a GREAT year for btc and I'm sticking to my original $2,000-$9,800 price target for btc in 2014:

Here is a marketing/publicity opportunity for the NXT community.  Please let me know your thoughts.

1.  There are 5 Malyasian MMA champs from the 2013 season of Malaysian Invasion who will be competing in Las Vegas, Nevada in the U.S. this July 4th weekend.

http://english.astroawani.com/news/show/mma-malaysia-top-team-invades-las-vegas-38474

http://www.malaysianinvasion.com/

2.  The 5 fighters will be representing Malaysia at the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) in las vegas this weekend and be referred to as Malaysia Top Team:

http://www.immaf.org/worldchampionships/

3.  I have a client/friend named Eric Gerber, who was the fighter's Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai coach when he lived in Malaysia.  Eric currently resides in Texas.

4.  If the NXT community can help sponsor his round trip ticket to Las Vegas to help coach his former fighters.  The entire Malaysian Top Team and their coach Eric Gerber will be willing:

--- to get on video and thank the nxt community for helping to sponsor them for the IMMAF.
--- they are willing to wear our nxt t-shirts at the fight to bring attention to nxt.
--- whatever else the nxt community deems is necessary to help promote nxt as long as it fits within their team's "professionalism" guidelines.

5.  The cost of the round trip ticket will be approximately $1,500 USD since it is a last minute booking.  Any unused funds can be returned if necessary.

6.  If you are in the las vegas area and can assist these fighters in any way, please let me know.  Eric Gerber has already secured them a complimentary training facility at Wanderlei Silva's gym in las vegas.

7.  Please let me know your thoughts, or questions, and if you are available to donate to this sponsorship opportunity.

Enjoy!
