Confused by Crypto Taxes? What you need to know.
Trigger warning: I have decided to make a video about crypto taxes (eep!)
First of all, this is not tax advice. These are things that I've learnt and I wanted to share them. (And it applies to US taxes only!)
Second, this is not an endorsement of taxes. Many will argue it’s ethical to pay taxes because they support public goods. But a significant portion of your taxes goes towards funding things like the military invasions and occupations, so I can't get behind an ethical justification of taxes.
Third, many people use taxes as an excuse for why they shouldn't use crypto everyday. Taxes are really not a show stopper, and I hope through this video to make them a little less daunting!
Fourth, there are some neat tricks regarding retirement accounts and donations that might be able to help you.
Huge thank you to Roger Brown for his help with this video. You can check out his company Lukka here: https://www.lukka.tech/
A great tool for institutions calculating their taxes!

Signal's BRILLIANT Ad Campaign
When we think about how Facebook and Instagram target ads towards us, we typically think of cold, clinical terms like “metadata”, “abstract analytics” or “the algorithm”. And whether you like targeted ads or find them uncomfortable, I’d bet almost no one gives enough thought to JUST how personal the ads we see are.
In their most recent ad campaign, renowned private messaging app, Signal, exposed how social media companies “...collect everything they can from you, in order to sell visibility into your life,” and it is WAY creepier than ever you ever thought possible.
Your privacy is of the utmost importance! Switch to a secure messaging app like Signal where possible, and use app extensions like Facebook Container on Firefox, or similar settings on Brave, to keep the algorithm from invading your private life!

The MOST private browser (2021)
Web browsers are the gateway to the internet so it is no surprise that they often become the target of companies or hackers who want to collect information about YOU! Not only can websites can track you, but browsers themselves can also send back information about you to the browser’s parent company - In other words, your browsers become spies for the likes of Google or Microsoft and send all these information back to them to monetize! This video will compare the most popular browser options out there and help you make an informed decision best suited to you!
The major browsers discussed in this video are Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Tor Browser, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. There is often a trade-off between privacy and convenience with browsers, but there are some great options that give you a good degree of both.
An important note: A privacy-focused browser is essential for private internet usage… but it’s not sufficient. There are many ways your internet usage can be tracked. To learn more, check out some of the other videos in my privacy series, that will give you a great introduction to how to live a modern, privacy-conscious lifestyle!
Btw a browser is different from a search engine. For the most private search engines, see this video: https://youtu.be/o4sMstvwi0I

NFTs: What are you REALLY buying?
NFTs are taking the world by storm!
Non-fungible tokens, mainly used for collectibles and art. People are buying into these digital keepsakes thinking they'll last forever.
But often, this isn't true.
Most people think that when they’re buying an NFT, they’re getting an image that will sit in their account on the website they purchased it from. But what they’re actually getting is a link on a blockchain. And links can break.
Some people's NFTs have been disappearing from their accounts, and some have been disappearing from the internet altogether!
I dive under the hood of NFTs with Aaron Gooch, CTO at Realio Fund, to talk about which NFTs will last forever, and which are vaporware.
There are many NFT platforms out there to be wary of. But for the record, I think that NFTs are super cool -- only if they're done properly and are actually decentralized and stored with redundancy and permanency! Check out my beginner's guide to NFTs: https://youtu.be/lvEOgtjrrqc

"See Something Say Something Online" takes aim at Freedom of Speech
The Senate is taking aim at something called Section 230.
Elizabeth Nolan Brown, a senior editor at Reason Magazine, says:
“Section 230 is more important than the first amendment for online speech”
That’s because Section 230 protects online platforms from getting in trouble for publishing your opinion. It’s basically the law that made the internet what it is today. Without it platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Hacker News and others wouldn’t be able to operate as they do.
So of course, both the left and right want to destroy it.
One bipartisan attempt to reform the law is called the "See Something Say Something Online” Act, which is a really scary piece of legislation that would put the DOJ in charge of filtering internet content, and allow everyone to file a “suspicious activity report” against any website. This would not only be weaponized against those with views others don’t like, but it would also create a mountain of bureaucracy on the internet, and essentially eliminate free speech. Furthermore, it would also be a completely opaque reporting system not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
Will decentralized social media be the solution to such attempts to shut down freedom of speech on the internet? Jack Dorsey, Charles Hoskinson, and Dan Larimer think it might.

4 Reasons to Use Crypto Everyday: beginner’s guide
This beginner’s crypto series starts with 4 reasons more and more people use cryptocurrency everyday.
- ECONOMIC HEDGE
The first reason is the most well known: a hedge against economic instability. 27% of all money ever created by the FED was created in the past 12 months. This is staggering, and a big reason why the likes of Microstrategy, Square, and Tesla are pouring billions into bitcoin. They want a hedge against inflation of the US dollar.
But there are 3 other VERY important reasons you might want to use cryptocurrency every day instead of your bank card.
- PRIVACY
Cash is great, but you can’t use it on the internet. And it’s not possible to use your bank card without everything you do being tracked and recorded. Cryptocurrency allows you financial privacy in the digital age.
- CONTROL
When your money is in a bank account, you don’t control it. Someone else decides who can access it, and what the money can be used for. In 2010 banks decided people could no longer donate to wikileaks. In 2013, people in Cyprus woke up to find half the savings in their bank accounts had been seized. Cryptocurrency doesn’t need banks. You can control your own money without getting someone’s permission.
- SAVE MONEY
Websites like purse.io can save you over 30% on every amazon order you make if you pay in crypto bitcoin or bitcoin cash. Many stores offer a premium for crypto. Places like bitrefill.com or anypayinc.com give you crypto back when you spend it.
In this series you’ll learn all about how to make money and save money using crypto in your every day life. Cut the strings tying you to money that is tracked, controlled, inflated, and seized. The future is crypto, and the power in your hands.
Episode 2: The best wallets for every day use!

Govt Sues LBRY, Endangering ALL Crypto!
Sec just announced a lawsuit against LBRY for “selling unregistered securities.”
SEC is classing LBRY’s LBC token as a “a security”, but by their definition, almost every crypto project would also be considered a security.
They say it’s a security because it lacks sufficient utility… I literally use LBC every day, you can’t post videos on the LBRY blockchain without it.
They also say it’s a security because the blockchain is being “actively developed”. I don’t know of any tech platform that isn’t being actively developed!
Initially the SEC was giving blockchain projects a slap on the wrist, but now they’re ramping up. LBRY inc. tried to settle with them in private for 3 years, and they refused. If the SEC wins, the LBRY network would continue to run, but LBRY inc. would effectively cease to exist.
This would affect users too! Anyone who posted videos or tipped someone on LBRY would now be guilty of “trading securities without a license.”
This lawsuit puts the whole crypto industry at risk. LBRY had best win their case.

Starlink Review: New Era of Internet!
We’re on the cusp of a new internet revolution. There's a race to provide super fast satellite internet to every inch of the world, and SpaceX's Starlink is in the lead.
My Starlink Satellite Dish just arrived!!
The results of my speed test comparing Starlink to my old internet connection were... surprising.
I show you the setup, compare costs, and talk about why low-earth-orbit satellite internet is important!

Don't want to be tracked? Apple gives you a choice.
Apple's new "Tracking Transparency" feature will add a pop-up to your iPhone whenever an app wants to track you. It's to let people know when their "IDFA" system is being used.
Cybersecurity and privacy journalist Kate O'Flaherty explained to me in this latest video that the IDFA, or ID for Advertisers, is a way for iPhone apps to determine when things like advertising campaigns have been effective, by allowing the apps to monitor a user's activities across the phone. It is a more private way of tracking than cookies in browsers, but Apple says that more transparency is needed. They argue that many people don't realize this kind of tracking is going on, and that users should be made aware of it and given the option to opt out. That's why they've added this feature, and also things like privacy labels to their app store.
A great step forward for privacy!
Facebook isn't happy, because their entire business model is built on being able to track users. They're even talking about legal action on the grounds of antitrust. What will become of companies like Facebook if users decide they no longer want to be tracked?

What are NFTs and how do I make one??
NFTs are taking the world by storm.
A video highlight of a LeBron James dunkshot went for over $200,000.
Kings of Leon released their album as an NFT.
People are selling NFTs of their tweets.
And the most expensive NFT to date: Artwork by Beeple, which sold for over 69 million dollars!
But what is an NFT, and what's all the hype about?
I explain how blockchain and art have merged to create this phenomenon, and show you how to get involved.

Video Makers are Moving HERE!
Many video makers are angry. Angry for being demonetized, deplatformed, or angry because major video platforms prioritize corporate content over independent creators.
Fortunately, people have alternatives, and one that is really huge right now is called Odysee. With over 20 million active monthly users, it's the hot new place to upload video content. And the technology it's base on... is decentralized.

SpaceX Spoiled The Mars Rover Landing For Me
I watched the live Mars landing last week, excited to see a rocket touchdown, live, on the red planet.
Instead, I was underwhelmed.
The live stream only showed an animation of the landing, not the real thing, and some reaction shots from NASA personnel.
It's not that landing on Mars isn't super cool -- it is! It's just that I've been spoiled by SpaceX, who provide awesome livestreams of everything they do, and always put on such a good show.
NASA eventually came through with the goods, and shared some breathtaking visuals, so in the end I was happy.
But what a time to be alive, when I can see incredible achievements like this, and feel like they’re NOT the best we’re capable of.
Meanwhile, I'm hanging out for that first commercial flight to Mars...

Facebook BLOCKS Australians from Sharing News!
The Australian government passed a law that would force Facebook to pay every time someone shares a news article on their platform. Facebook decided that this was not a privilege they were willing to pay for, and in response have instead blocked Australian Facebook users from sharing or viewing news content.
As a result, they have also inadvertently blocked many charities or government pages which are not news sites, which has made people very angry. It does beg the question of how they were meant to be expected to identity news sites in order to pay for them, if they couldn’t identify them to shut them down.
Is this a David Vs Goliath story with Facebook being expected to pay “their fair share”, or is this just a Goliath vs Goliath story, with the Rupert Murdoch juggernaut News Corp using the government to get money from Facebook, and small, independent journalists are just the collateral?

Tesla Buys $1.5 BILLION of BITCOIN: Price soars to 46k!
Today the price of bitcoin exploded past 46k after Tesla announced their purchase of $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin.
"Moreover, we expect to be accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future," they said.
Juggernauts like Microstrategy, Square, and Telsa are making bitcoin part of their reserve assets, as a hedge against inflation and economic instability.
This is a dramatic move, cheered by those who value financial sovereignty, and derided by those who feel it was reckless for their shareholders, and ties the stock too closely to the price of Bitcoin.
But given the TSLA stock price just after the news, the question is, which S&P500 company is next?

The Janet Yellen Bitcoin Era Begins!
We have a newly minted US Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen. She is the US political establishment’s insider’s insider, and the crypto ecosystem is now grappling with what her appointment to Treasury will mean.
I go over the history of Treasury Secretaries throughout Bitcoin’s lifespan, and what we can expect from a Yellen Treasury.

The MYTH about Bitcoin’s Role In Illicit Activity: DEBUNKED
Janet Yellen was just unanimously approved by The U.S. Senate Finance Committee for Treasury secretary. She’s taking over from Mnuchin, and is so far not off to a good start regarding cryptocurrency.
Earlier this week she said that cryptocurrencies are “a particular concern” when it comes to criminal activity and terrorist financing.
“I think many [cryptocurrencies] are used, at least in a transaction sense, mainly for illicit financing."
Forbes contributor Hailey Lennon noted in a recent article that Yellen is just plain incorrect. The money laundering tool of choice is still the good old US Treasury.

Kim Dotcom Embraces BCH!
Renowned hacker and internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom: “I’m officially joining the effort to make Bitcoin Cash the leading electronic cash solution in the world.”
The founder and former CEO of Megaupload wants to accelerate the use of BCH with real world and online vendors, and will be using BCH on his new
platform, https://K.im, for distributing and monetizing digital content.
Why not use something like lightening network? Kim says: "It's not ready yet... Bitcoin Cash ticked all the boxes."
On Twitter, BCH haters went crazy about the news, and BCH enthusiasts celebrated. With his network and influence, Kim Dotcom has a real shot at making a big impact on adoption.
“It doesn’t matter which crypto leads in the future. What matters is that the idea of crypto finds mass acceptance so that all of humanity can benefit. The crypto community should work together on that common goal. Respect each other."
I don’t know whether his new platform will be a success, but I wish him the best.

Shapeshift Ends KYC! Interview with Erik Voorhees
No More KYC with ShapeShift!
Shapeshift used to be the go-to place for anonymously transferring between cryptocurrencies.
In 2018 a surprise move shocked the crypto community: Shapeshift was forced to run advanced surveillance on users, like all other exchanges. This practice which is forced on companies is not only ineffective, but also unethical and dangerous. It is warrantless collection and surveillance of personal, private information of innocent individuals.
But today Shapeshift said "no more."
They are ending KYC, and customers will now trade with decentralized protocols.
The future is decentralized, and Shapeshift is embracing it.
Erik Voorhees discusses the battle Shapeshift has fought over the past few years, and what the whole crypto space will face going forward.

Assange: The case, & the threat to Press Freedom
The request for extradition to the United States of Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, was denied by a UK judge.
This is fantastic news, because the US wants to put Assange on trial basically for being an investigative journalist. The indictment from the DOJ against Assange is one of the single biggest threats to freedom of the press of the last decade. I explain in detail what it all means.
But the judge didn’t deny the extradition request based on freedom of the press, it was based on Assange's mental condition. The danger of journalists being persecuted for challenging power is greater than ever.
What happens to us when no dissent from the press against government is allowed anymore?
Huge shout out to Glenn Greenwald, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and journalists like Richard Medhurst and Kevin Gosztola who have been covering this case in detail and are staunch advocates of freedom of the press.

Snowden: Bitcoin needs better privacy
Recently Snowden was awarded the Thomas Szasz Award from the Center for Independent Thought, which was presented to him by my boss John Stossel. During the call I was able to ask Snowden about Bitcoin and the need for anonymous digital payments.
Bitcoin played an important role in the 2013 Snowden leaks: the servers that Snowden used to transfer information to journalists were paid for using bitcoin, because he didn’t want those records connected to his name.
Snowden explained to me that Bitcoin is superior to credit cards, because it's at least pseudonymous. But steps need to be taken to add privacy.
He once tweeted: "Bitcoin is great, but "if it's not private, it's not safe,"” and he said that Zcash's privacy tech makes it the most interesting Bitcoin alternative.
I asked him about all of this when we spoke.

Trump Considers Ross Ulbricht Clemency
According to The Daily Beast this week: "Trump Is Considering Clemency for Silk Road Founder: Two sources tell The Daily Beast that the president has expressed sympathy for the situation of Ross Ulbricht, who is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole."
The attempt to get Ross’s case in front of Trump has been ongoing for the last 4 years.
Ulbricht’s court appeals were denied, so the focus for those fighting for justice on his behalf switched to presidential pardon. A petition was started on change.org, which has since garnered 367 thousand signatures.

What is 0x?
0x (ZRX) is a decentralized exchange protocol, and one of the earliest Dex's for Ethereum-based tokens.
Paul Puey (Edge CEO) and I explain how exactly it works.
We also put our money where our mouths are: we each decide whether to invest $100. This is not investment advice, we're just giving you a peek into our own portfolios and how we make decisions for ourselves. Keep in mind, I'm more interested in the team, the tech, and whether it's a cool project than in short term gains.

Government vs Crypto: The Battle Begins
The inevitable war between government and crypto is getting started.
German Finance Minister on Monday:
“We must do everything possible to make sure the currency monopoly remains in the hands of states.”
The G7 this week: "We want to regulate digital currencies."
European Central Bank President: "Stablecoins threaten monetary sovereignty.”
Between the STABLE Act, which would ensure that only banks could issue stablecoins and would make all others illegal, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s plan to go after crypto, and the French Finance Minister trying to fight anonymous crypto transactions, things are getting heated up.
We’ll get to see if bitcoin and other decentralized innovation can hold their own in an arms race against the most powerful entities in the world.
