What is Zcoin?
What is Zcoin? There are so many privacy coins that include the letter z that it's easy to get them confused, and many people don't realize that Zcoin actually predates Zcash, and is based on entirely different cryptography.
It's also interesting to note that the Zcoin blockchain was used in the first ever application of blockchain in a large scale political election, by Thailand's democratic party to elect its new leader in 2018.
Paul Puey (Edge CEO) and I dive into the history, tech, & what's next for Zcoin.
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.
If you'd like a more in depth look at Zcoin, this week I did a members-only interview with Zcoin co-founder Reuben Yap.

Snowden recommends THIS privacy tool: Tor
By Reuben Yap and Naomi Brockwell
"The Tor Project was a creation of the state that ended up becoming one of the few effective shields against the state’s surveillance." - Snowden
The Onion Router, or Tor, is a network comprising thousands of servers run by volunteers that protects your privacy by hiding your IP address and activities on the internet. It's an important tool for online privacy and freedom of expression in a digital age.
Not only does it make your searches more private, but it also allows you to access webpages on the dark web that aren’t available to regular browsers. While the dark web is notorious for being a hotbed of illicit/illegal activity, it is also used by whistleblowers, activists or political dissidents to anonymously distribute information. Tor is a great tool for all kinds of people, even everyday people who want to protect their personal data from advertisers and mass surveillance.
Download the Tor browser here:

What is DeFi and Yield Farming?
Yield Farming: Building a DeFi Plane While Flying
by C. Edward Kelso and Naomi Brockwell
Cointr.ee/NaomiBrockwell
Is 2020 the Year of DeFi?
DeFi opens up access to capital like never before. No barriers to entry. No real-world identity. You can take out loans and earn interest, without anyone ever asking your name.
“Yield farming” is its crack cocaine.
C. Edward Kelso and I take a deep dive into the $7 billion world of DeFi:
- $15k for a YFI token??
- What are meme tokens?
- The Rise and Fall of Yam (may it rest in peace, and then rise again as V2 and V3)
“Disclaimer: please use caution, there will be bugs. … If you don't understand it, please don't use it.” - Andre Cronje, creator of yEarn

Spaghetti Money gets $200 Million in 12 hours! USPS wants Blockchain Voting
Spaghetti Money gets $200 Million in 12 hours!
They are the latest meme token in the new craze of DeFi yield farming. They offer staking pools in several tokens like yEarn (YFI), Maker (MKR), and Compound (COMP). It's a deflationary token with no elastic supply, unlike YAM which went up in flames last week.
Meanwhile YAM v2 and v3 and already in the works, as well as a plethora of other meme tokens for yield farming that also have emojis for logos: Ham, Shrimp, Taco, and the strange beast that is Based.
Like many of these projects, Spaghetti's team is anonymous and the code hasn't been audited, so whether it ends up in ruins like YAM remains to be seen, but it currently has a lot of momentum.
USPS patent for Blockchain Voting goes public.
Voter would receive basically a QR code in the mail, which would give them access to a voting system online. The system would separate identification and vote to ensure anonymity, and would store votes on the blockchain. The idea is that the blockchain would exist on computers all over the world, but it's unclear whether it would be a public blockchain, or a private blockchain (which would just be akin to an expensive database).
Computer scientist David Jefferson says "the whole thing strikes me as a quick attempt to grab a big swath of patent rights rather than to actually invent anything original."
The first large-scale test of blockchain voting occurred in Thailand in 2018 on Zcoin's blockchain, with much success. Read about it here: https://zcoin.io/worlds-first-large-scale-blockchain-based-political-election-held-on-zcoins-blockchain/
Russia plans to use blockchain voting in September on the Waves blockchain:

Too Much Bitcoin Is Still Owned by Dark Market Players?
A recent report by Chainalysis says almost 1 million bitcoins are owned by hackers, scammers, and dark web buyers. Many media outlets say bitcoin will never become mainstream until it shakes this “dark side” of its reputation permanently.
Is this true though?
Criminals use all kinds of other financial tools, and it doesn't affect their reputation.
Cybercriminals attack Internet of Things devices over 5000 times a month. But your router and connected cameras, which account for 90% of this activity, aren’t having trouble with mainstream acceptance either.
And what is the definition of "mainstream adoption”, because this term seems to be a moving goal post.
I talk about the recent Microstrategy announcement, Grayscale report, and news from the OCC about bitcoin allowed in banking.

Chainlink and FIO
CoinWatch: Putting our money where our mouths are.
5:03 Limited @nbtv FIO addresses giveaway! (Go to https://dl.edge.app/nbtv )
6:45 FIO
31:49 Chainlink
Each week I take a deep dive into the history, tech, & roadmaps for 2 different coins, with Edge CEO Paul Puey. At the end of each episode, Paul and I choose one of the coins to invest $100 each in (or a coin from a previous segment). This is not investment advice, we're just giving you a peek into our own portfolios and how we make decisions for ourselves. Also, I am not a day trader, and my decisions are not based on whether I believe I'll make short term gains. I'm more interested in the team, the tech, and whether it's a cool project.
If you'd like to learn more about different coins, this is the show for you!
This week we look at Chainlink, which skyrocketed to #5 on coincap.io this week, and FIO, a potential solution for payment addresses.
If you'd like a more in depth look at each coin, I release members-only interviews with the people working on each coin, all available on my NBTV members' page.

New "Cyber Czar": Congressman Massie explains why Internet Freedom is Over
The National Cyber Director Act was just passed by Congress as part of the NDAA which will create a "Cyber Czar". It's a disaster for internet privacy and freedom.
The "Cyber Czar" position has an unspecified budget, and a department of at least 75 people who will be unelected bureaucrats that remain in power regardless of who is elected into office, and who will get to determine internet best practices. They will also likely be in charge of enforcing anti-encryption bills like "EARN IT" and "Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act" should they go through.
Congressman Thomas Massie was the only person who pushed back against the bill. I chat with him about why it's a danger, and should be stopped.
Tell your local representative you are against the NDAA because of the National Cyber Director Act, you're against the EARN IT Bill, and you're against the Authorized Access to Encrypted Data Act.

War Against Encryption, and Those Fighting Against It
My first livestream in 4 months, but this is a topic worth going live about.
There are currently 2 bills in Congress that are trying to destroy privacy and freedom of speech on the internet.
The “EARN IT” bill would have internet “best practices” determined by a commission, and the “Lawful access to encrypted data act” would put backdoors in all of your software and devices.
Attorney General Bill Barr says the government should have access to everything, that “companies should not deliberately design their systems to preclude any form of access to content,”
If a company’s system is private and doesn't have a back door, according to these laws they can be required to redesign their system.
The “lawful access to encrypted data act” would create a chilling effect on society. When people know their actions and words are no longer private: They self-censor. They conform and live in fear. A surveilled society is a repressed society, and we are dangerously close to having every part of our lives observed.
Officials like to say surveillance is for the “good of the nation”, but they mean the nation state, ie it helps the people in power keep their power. They don’t mean for the good of the citizens. In fact, weakening the privacy of every citizen makes us all much worse off.
Luckily there are many people fighting this bill, including Crystal Rose, CEO of Sense chat, a private messaging platform.
She shares what is most insidious about this bill, and what she's doing to fight it. If you’d like to help also, reach out to members of Congress to tell them to leave our digital security alone:

Twitter Hack: It's Just the Beginning...
Today Twitter was hacked, and thousands of high profile accounts began tweeting a bitcoin scam that amassed over $100k.
What if instead of tweeting a scam, they decided to leak everyone's DMs? People share private things on twitter all the time, like credit card details, home addresses, nude photos.
This hack is just the beginning of what is likely to become a crisis in digital identity management. Time to start using e2ee services for messaging instead. Protect yourself, because these platforms won't.
Any crypto leftover after funding that scam, feel free to send some my way! All my addresses here:

We Should All Have Something To Hide
Saying you don’t mind surveillance because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t believe in freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. This was something Snowden said.
The fact is, privacy is fundamental to the fabric of our society, and we should all be concerned when people threaten to take it away.
Strong encryption is one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting our privacy. End-to-end encryption is particularly important.
Currently there are 2 bills in congress in the USA that are trying to make end to end encryption illegal:
There is the EARN IT bill which threatens crucial freedom of speech protections for online publishing platforms unless these platforms abide by “best practices” set forth by a very anti-encryption commission.
And there is the “lawful access to online data” act, which would force back doors into all our encrypted devices and platforms.
We need to stand up and fight against bad encryption laws before the balance of power tips irretrievably away from the individual.

Hong Kong Freedom Destroyed with New Security Law
This week China passed a controversial security law for Hong Kong. It's a chilling tool that suppresses political dissent, and may well destroy this international center of trade and what has been China’s freest city.
It is now illegal to wave pro-independence flags, have pro-democracy stickers, or voice your dislike of the Chinese government. Those who do face prison, and possible internment in labor camps or forced rehabilitation programs.
The introduction of the security law effectively ends “one country, two systems” 27 years early, and breaks the terms of the agreement Britain and China made about handing over Hong Kong.
The UK responded that they will offer a path to citizenship for HK people, and many other countries are considering the same.
This video discusses Hong Kong's complicated history with Britain and China, and the significance of the current protests.
The human rights abuses of China are well documented, and losing a bastion of freedom like Hong Kong to their system is devastating. China now has assimilated the city into the mainland.
There are dark days ahead for HK, and it’s tragic to see the light in one of the world’s most vibrant cities be dimmed. But the value of Hong Kong isn't in the roads, or the buildings -- it's in the people. So now the world needs to open their door and let them in.
Huge thank you to the people of Hong Kong who are fighting for their freedom.
Thank you to Cliff for the use of your footage.

How to make yeast glow!
I did some at-home genetic engineering, and turned yeast florescent by adding Jellyfish DNA to it. I used a Do-It-At-Home genetic engineering kit from The Odin (www.the-odin.com) and it was super easy and fun!
The process involves “transformation”. It’s where you genetically alter a cell by introducing new DNA through the cell walls. Usually cell walls stop cells mixing with foreign DNA. Transformation works by weakening the cell walls, and this temporary state is called “competence”, and it’s where the cell is for a limited time able to take up exogenous DNA from the environment.
If the cell demonstrates what’s called “uptake” and incorporation of this new genetic material, it’s called “transformation”, and that means I've successfully joined jellyfish with yeast and created fluorescent yeast!
The Odin makes fantastic bio-hacking kits which give people the tools to do all kinds of awesome science experiments at home. Check out my do-it-at-home CRISPR project: https://youtu.be/XLJqDXewAjM

Govt to BAN End-to-End Encryption!
This week a bill was introduced called the “lawful access to encrypted data act.” It would give the government access to your most private communication, and put backdoors in your devices and apps.
Companies must be able to decrypted all data upon request, and if a company’s system doesn’t allow for this decryption, they can be required to redesign their system.
End-to-end encryption enables us to have private, secure communications in an increasingly insecure world. It protects human rights workers, journalists, activists, citizens from hostile governments, governments from hostile foreign agents, domestic abuse sufferers: All levels of society rely on private communications.
But Attorney General Bill Barr says the government should have access to everything. He said “Companies should not deliberately design their systems to preclude any form of access to content.”
The idea that government “can’t catch the bad guys” unless they break our end-to-end-encryption is false.
As Apple said: "Law enforcement today has access to more data -- data which they can use to prevent terrorist attacks, solve crimes and help bring perpetrators to justice -- than ever before in the history of our world. ... We believe it would be wrong to weaken security for hundreds of millions of law-abiding customers so that it will also be weaker for the very few who pose a threat."
Officials like to say surveillance is for the “good of the nation”, but they mean the nation state, ie it helps the people in power keep their power. They don’t mean for the good of the citizens. In fact, weakening the privacy of every citizen makes us all much worse off.

Cointree: Earn Crypto Online
https://landing.cointr.ee/
Cointr.ee helps you earn money by making it as easy as possible for people to support your work.
You list all your crypto donation addresses in one place, people can personalize their donations with a message of support, and it links all your websites and social media platforms on one page so people can follow and support you everywhere you are.
It solves 2 problems.
1) Crypto addresses go stale. This means you have to swap out every donation address on every video you’ve ever posted, or risk someone sending money to a stale account. Instead you can post a single Cointr.ee link which contains a list of all your active addresses.
2) People want to be able to personalize their donations with a message of support. For some people, adding this message feature was the different between earning $0 and earning $100s of dollars in a few months.
It’s really easy to use:
Use any coin you want
Use any wallet you want
Cointr.ee doesn’t keep your wallet keys, never touches your funds, and it’s free to use. You don’t even need to set up an account to use it.
Add your Cointr.ee link to your profiles so that people know where they can find you and send you tips!
