For nearly four decades, fall means farm aid, and this year's show had a surprise appearance. Bob Dylan wasn't listed among the scheduled performers for Farm Aid, which took place Saturday in Indiana. Dylan was joined by members of the Heartbreakers for three songs. The first Farm Aid to Benefit American Farmers was organized in 1985 by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp. I'm Brian Shuck. And I'm Brian Curtis in Hong Kong. Let's get you caught up on this hour's top stories business and the markets. Sources say that Senate Republican and Democrat negotiators are nearing deal a on a short -term spending measure. That would keep the government open until October 1st. legislation The would extend funding for four to six weeks. Earlier Moody's Investors Service signaled its confidence is wavering ahead of a potential shutdown. We have more here from Bloomberg's Kaylee Lines. They say that a shutdown would underscore the weakness of U .S. institutional governance and strength. The The statement goes on to say it would demonstrate the significant constraint that intensifying political polarization continues to put on U .S. fiscal policymaking. And the reason this might sound so familiar is it was just back in August when Fitch downgraded the U .S. credit rating because of governance issues and political dysfunction. Bloomberg's Kaylee Lines reporting Moody stopped short of threatening a downgrade but used unusually blunt language in expressing concerns over the possible shutdown. Amazon is planning to invest in AI startup Anthropic. It's the latest move by Amazon to become a major player in generative AI. Or from Bloomberg's Alex Webb. Amazon has very much been seen as a laggard in this space. You know, Google obviously got strong AI chops. Google BARD is their front -facing, forward -facing chat model, and so this potentially beefs up their capabilities in that space, which helps them when it comes to the battle for the cloud. Bloomberg's Alex Webb. Amazon is committing 1 .25 billion for its initial investment for a minority position in the startup. The final investment could reach 4 billion dollars. Chinese developer Evergrande has failed to repay an onshore bond. The story from Bloomberg's Joan Wong in Hong Kong. Evergrande's subsidiary Hangdao Real Estate defaulted on $147 million in principal plus interest. The onshore bond was due September 25. In March, Hangdao missed an interest payment on the bond, which was issued back in 2020. Hangdao said it would actively negotiate with bondholders to find a solution. Meanwhile, Taisung reported that two former Evergrande executives had been detained by Chinese authorities. And that's Bloomberg's Joan Wong.

A highlight from CARPE CONSENSUS: Special Interview Robinhood Crypto General Manager Johann Kerbrat
"Welcome to Carpe Consensus. This is a podcast from the CoinDesk Podcast Network. I am your host today, Danny Nelson. Our co -host Ben is experiencing technical difficulties, so we'll be flying solo. Today I'm joined by Johan Kebraat from Robinhood. He's the general manager of all things crypto over there. We're going to have a nice little chat about what Robinhood is up to, what its vision is for the crypto universe, and where he thinks all this is going. So welcome to the program. Hey, Danny. Thanks for having me. Excited to have this one -on -one, I guess. Yes, we're making it up as we go along. Anyway, I want to start off by understanding what's your perspective within Robinhood on the crypto space. Do you see this as an investment that every Robinhood user should be plugged into? Because we have to remember, Robinhood is much bigger than just its crypto protocol. Yeah, absolutely. On Robinhood, you can do a lot more things than just trading or transferring crypto. And our vision is to democratize finance for everybody. And we want to make sure that the people that are interested in crypto, they have a place to do it. And we think Robinhood is probably the best place for them. So we keep investing in that division for the company.

A highlight from Episode 377 - Artificial Intelligence and Operational Resiliency
"This is Jane Lo, and I'm at the Global Resiliency Federation office here in Singapore. And with me today, I'm very pleased and very privileged to have Mark Orsi, who is the CEO of GRF or Global Resiliency Federation, all the way from United States of America. So thank you, Mark, for your time today. Thank you for having me. And so Mark will be sharing with us the latest in terms of artificial intelligence, which is causing a lot of excitement nowadays, as well as the operational resiliency framework, which has been developed by GRF over the last year or so. So Mark, you know, give us a brief introduction about yourself and also GRF and what, you know, the organisation does. And I also understand that you're very passionate about AI. So tell us about the history of your career as well. Sure. So I started as an aerospace engineer many, many years ago. And after aerospace, I was in computer science and I was working on computer vision. So it's really been interesting to see the journey until today. But additionally, so the last 15 years or so, I've been in the financial services sector primarily and technology risk and cybersecurity. I worked at Goldman Sachs for about eight years, KPMG for a few years, JP Morgan for a few years. And then in the past four years, I've been at Global Resilience Federation and we're a non -profit. We manage and support 17 different sharing communities. ISACs, which are really information sharing and analysis centres, they're collective defence communities where organisations join together to help protect themselves against the various threats that are out there. And of course, you have your conference later in October, later this year in Texas. Yeah, Austin, Texas, October 11th through 12th. Anybody who's local or who wants to make the journey, please come. We also have an OTI set conference on September 6th coming right up. More local. But yeah, it's an iteration of it, sixth year running. And it's security and third -party risk. So we have practitioners, CISOs, third -party risk practitioners, business resilience practitioners. And we have a whole track on AI security. So we've worked for the last six months with 20 organisations on two papers. One is a CISO guide to AI security and one is a practitioner's guide. So let's start with AI, which is what gets people excited nowadays. So tell us, you've got a great vintage point from America, which is a leader in many ways when it comes to technology and innovations. So what is the conversation like in terms of the business use cases that you see in America? Sure, we're coming from a cybersecurity and resilience perspective. And so I was on a call, it was about a week and a half after ChatGBT was released in November of last year. A hundred different chief information security officers on the call, really all concerned about maybe business forging ahead without really taking any security considerations into play. But also about some of the major strengths that they could, how can we use this for good as well, right? How can we use it to find vulnerabilities? How can we use it to secure our code? So an example is one of the organisations had been using a tool like it to actually rewrite their code base and translate into different language, which added memory management to their code and then translate it back to the original language. And they were also using it then to multiply their developers time by tenfold, because they didn't have to write the test cases and additional code around developers. So there's plenty of benefits to it and there's plenty of risks, right? We need to think about the whole pipeline, whether we have in -house AI models or whether we're using third parties, there's different kinds of risks that we need to consider. There's also been a lot of talk of using AI large language models to do predictive diagnostics in healthcare, right? And GRF, of course, you have more than, what, 20 member organisations? It's 17 different ones, yes, 17. And one of them is Health iSAT, right? So talking to your member communities, do you see a difference in terms of the pace of adoption in terms of using AI? Yeah, absolutely. And so we worked with 20 different organisations, including some healthcare, some manufacturing, some energy and others, to put together a guide on AI security, both the practitioner guide and a CISO guide. And yes, there's different pace of adoption. There's organisations that have been using machine learning and AI for many, many years. And but with the advent of this generative AI, there's just a tremendous amount of concern and the pace of change is much more rapid. It used to be every year you'd have change and now it's every week. There's new things happening. So of course, artificial intelligence is not new in cyber security. How is this latest innovation of using large language models, how is that going to be different in terms of adoption in cyber security? I think you mentioned a few sort of like... I think some of the power of it is that ultimately, if you think about the resource limits that we have, there's always constraints on the number of resources that are available that are cyber focused and cyber educated. And so for us to take the power of some of those large language model generative AI and sort of multiply the efforts of the staff that we have, then we can also meet some of the needs that we have from a resource perspective. Also, I think ultimately we're going to get into very targeted threat intelligence to where it'll be based upon our own assets. So if you're an enterprise and you have specific assets and you have specific threats in your sector, then the intelligence that you're delivered would be very targeted to your organization specifically. So it's going to get much more powerful over time to give you tailored threat intelligence. Do you think that the rate of adoption on the cyber defense side is possibly faster than how the threat actors are adopting... Yeah, I mean, that's a big concern, right? I think probably we'll be behind the curve. All right, okay. I think there was even talk early on about just pausing the pace of developments, making sure that we have the regulatory framework so that we know how to do this ethically and responsibly. So I think from a machine learning perspective, we could be doing very well, but I think from a generative AI perspective, we may be behind the curve a little bit. So I think the complexity of attacks, I think we'll be putting essentially nation -state tools into every threat actor's hands. So I think it's a very sort of concerning few years as we work to try and match the pace of change. You think that is something that is quite realistic that will happen, or is it just kind of like a hype? Because there's some part that human developers or human threat actors are possibly a lot more sophisticated when it comes to developing the malware code. And you can kind of tell the difference between one that's generated by generative AI and one that's written by human developers. I'll give you an example of just a very personal use case. So I was working with my son just a couple of weeks ago, and we found an old Nintendo DS. And so he wanted to run videos on his old Nintendo DS. And so we used ChatGBT to learn how to hack into our Nintendo DS to make it display videos. So he never had any programming experience, but we were able to do this. So this is exactly what I'm like, you know, we can put these tools into everybody's hands. So how do we, you know, we need to be extra vigilant as this change happens. So what do you think is the immediate step that cyber defenders have to take in face of this threat? Well, I think there's a few things. Number one, we need to be moving forward to be using it in the right ways, to be using it from a defender perspective. So if it is helping us to find vulnerabilities quicker, if it's helping us to develop threat intelligence better, that's more tailored towards each individual organization. But also just from security and ethics perspective, there's all sorts of different attacks that can happen to those, whether it's on the input data, whether it's in the model itself, you can embed undetectable backdoors in these models. So if you're using a third party to develop your models, you need to be very concerned and maybe even have multiple models to compare the answers. Now, some people also say, right, let's just get the basics right, right? So for example, we'll get more sophisticated phishing emails, right? So that just means more awareness in terms of how to spot a fake email from a genuine email. So that's kind of like the basics that we need to sort out. Yeah, but it's also addressing all the different aspects of that. You know, I mentioned the models themselves. So protecting the models, protecting the data. You don't want data poisoning. You want to detect and monitor these things because they may evolve over time. And you need to be really concerned about your third parties because every third party is going to be introducing AI. So we talk about an AI bill of materials. So the same as you have a software bill of materials, we want to think about how can we develop an AI bill of materials? So how can you ensure that the training data and the model that's being used, right, how do we know which models we're using and which training data is being used? So if we find an ethical bias or we find some, let's say it was trained on a set of a code that had malware embedded in it or a set of code that had logic bombs in it, you don't want to embed logic bombs in your new code that you're writing by using these tools. So we need to make sure that the training data is clean. For example, let's just take the example of data poisoning, right? So that is perhaps, you know, looking at how you provide access levels to your data set. So it's not any difference from sort of the basic cybersecurity measures, right? Right. It's using some of the same constructs that you have across others. But one of the things that you need to be concerned about too, though, is these are dynamic, some of these are dynamic models. Right now, it's a very static world. We have these models that were trained in, you know, 2021 data, right? But in the near future, these things will be much more dynamic and actually responding to the inputs to change their behavior. So you'll need to be monitoring. Yeah, that's very different. Right, okay. So I think one final question on the copy of AI before we move to operational resilience framework. A lot of people say, right, AI is going to mean, you know, perhaps job losses, right? And how do you see that playing out in the cybersecurity field? So I'm, you know, concerned in general. I studied AI 30 years ago. I was concerned about it then. You know, I thought the first sort of impact would be with self -driving cars and in our transportation industry. I think it turns out that, you know, these models advanced very quickly, maybe quicker than people were expecting. But it's going to take a very long time for us to sort of digest that through all of our business models that we have right now. But I think it's going to multiply our efforts. I think cybersecurity is an industry where we're very resource constrained, where people, there's way more cyber resources are required than we have people. So it'll just multiply our capabilities and maybe meet the needs that we have. So I think that's a very positive thing. Ultimately, I think our economy will be changing in the next decade or two decades in different ways. And I think we can only imagine what those changes will be. Right. Okay. So talking about overcoming some of these challenges, it means like resiliency, right? So that plays into the next topic, operational resilience framework. So tell us what this resiliency means in the context of this framework and perhaps cybersecurity. So back in 2018, there was a paper from the Bank of England. So regulatory guidance on operational resilience and impact tolerance. And so it was really thinking about the potential systemic impacts of bank failures on customers and partners. And so the question was, well, how do we respond to that? What are the things that we need to do to ensure that we can continue to operate our critical services through a crisis, even if it's an impaired state? So we, Trey Moss, who is the CEO of Sheltered Harbor, it was an initiative from FSISAC to help protect consumer data. So if there was a bank failure or a bank disruption, you could still access your bank account information. So it would prevent sort of a run on the bank or this systemic impact from it. So we took that concept and Trey was always thinking, hey, we probably need to do more than just protect this little piece of data. It was in a distributed and immutable way that the different banks and the standard format that different banks could access. We need to also prevent the bank from failing its critical services. So we were working with him, Bill Nelson, who is the CEO of FSISAC for 12 years. And he's our board of directors. Trey and I, we met for about a year to say, well, what should we be doing beyond just protecting this little piece of information? What are those critical services that we need to protect? And we need to make sure that through a crisis they would operate, even if it's an impaired state. So we developed a path to operational resilience. We worked with 100 organizations and financial services regulators to develop a very simple path that was meant really for every industry, not just for financial services. And so it's a path of seven steps, 37 rules. We tried to make it very simple. It's aligned to NIST and ISO standards and extends existing business continuity and disaster recovery type standards and frameworks. It takes a holistic approach and really looking outward instead of inward on saying these are internal business services that we need to keep running. Those we call business critical services. Operations critical are those things that your customers and your partners depend upon. And so making sure that those continue to run through a crisis. If you have a wiperware attack, you have a ransomware attack, you have a data center fire, you want to make sure that your customers' critical services continue to function through that crisis. So take an example of, say, a ransomware attack. So attack ransomware hitting one of these industrial organizations, right? So how would this resiliency framework help, you know, plug some of the gaps? So what's interesting is we've done this very much from an IT focus. We want to extend it to an OT realm as well. So we'll be working with OT ISAC and manufacturing ISAC late this year, early next year, and we'll set up a working group to do that. But actually one of our first scenarios that we put out there, it's, you know, freely downloadable from our website, grf .org, is a scenario that we call it ACME pipeline. And it was essentially a replication of colonial pipeline incident to highlight the benefits of an operational resilient framework approach. And so we looked at, you know, what are those critical services from a pipeline? And it was really just delivering petroleum. So there are a bunch of regulatory responses they have to have. There's payroll, there's all these different systems. When it comes to what do you actually deliver to your customers and your business partners, it was just delivery of petroleum. So making sure that they could deliver petroleum through that crisis, if they had a ransomware attack or a wipe away attack, what are those things they needed to do to ensure, even if it's an impaired state, how do I deliver that to my high priority customers and my low priority customers and designing so that let's say I could only operate at 80 % capacity. Can I still provide service to my low priority customers or do I need to only provide service to my high priority customers? So understanding at what point do you cut off service or do you are you going to disappoint some people because it's no longer a service to them. Designing that into your system and pre -planning that is part of this framework. Right, yes, yeah. So it's kind of like looking at from a sort of a consequence perspective on the mission factors rather perspective than start from the asset inventory kind of that traditional. It was interesting, I was hearing some of the same language that we were developing over the last two years coming from the OT experts on the panels as well about exactly that, about operating through a crisis, about the mission critical functions. Right, okay. So we just talked about one scenario which is ransomware and you are looking to sort of, I guess, expand to different types of scenarios to try to help organizations assess where they are in terms of their maturity when it comes to resiliency, yes? Yeah, so it really doesn't matter what the type of attack is, right? And also I think one of the concerns, we've been very sort of IT focused and very much we talked about the data and making sure that it's distributed and immutable, but also from a service perspective. So you want to make sure that you can deliver those services. That's right. Whether it includes manpower or whether it includes just technology. So that's very important. So what are the next steps then? So you say that the efforts started in 2019, yes? There's two active working groups right now. So one is we're developing a maturity model. We're going to release the next iteration in October of this year at our conference, which is in Austin, Texas. So not local. But so the next iteration will come with a maturity model, some of the comments that we've received from multiple industries, and we're still actively seeking, we want to make sure it's a cross -industry approach. We also have another working group focused on a scenario that's in the financial sector. So in ACH payments network disruption, ACH is, you know, domestic cash payments are made through this ACH network, and it's $76 trillion a year. So it's a very significant system. And so what would a disruption like that, how would it impact banks? And how should we be thinking about operational resilience in that scenario? So working through that, we'll probably do an exercise in November of this year, which would be open to many banks to have that discussion. So we'll be looking at the next steps. Like I mentioned, we'll be looking to extend the framework to OT, ICS concerns. And we'll be looking to, you know, develop the third iteration and additional scenarios. So what is the first thing that organizations have to do if they want to adopt your framework? So they can go to our website now and freely download it. It's available. They can actually review it and give feedback. But also think about how they can use it in their organizations, right? What some in major banks, they're using it just to develop training materials. So organizations, they're different business units across the globe regionally, and different business units can consider operational resilience and how they work. So I think it's a really good learning tool. And ultimately, as they implement it, the first steps are, number one, we build it upon the baseline of NIST and ISO standards. IDLE, change management, making sure they have core standards, core practices in place, core controls, and then naming an operational resilience executive. So really getting somebody who has visibility across business and technology. Yeah, a champion of it, who can sustain it through organizational change, right? Who can really have some power and authority to implement it. That's really important. And then you can start walking through the framework and doing the things that are necessary. It'll take investment, it'll take some work to really become more resilient. And so we're working on the maturity model as well, so people can evaluate sort of where they are and where they think they might have gaps. Can they participate in one of your working groups so that they can assess to see how they can practically use it? Yeah, they can contact me. No, happy to have that. Happy to have people reach out to me and contact us. Again, our website, grf .org .org. And yeah, we're continuing to develop new working groups and new sector focal points. Our goal is to make the whole ecosystem more resilient, to figure out how organizations can do that and to contribute to security and resilience in any way that we can. So this is one way to do that. Possibly there's a way to incorporate AI element, the latest generative AI element. I would love it, right? I love it. I mean, that's a real passion of mine from many years ago. So it's great to kind of see it finally come into play. And we just have to address it in the right way and with the right security concerns. So, well, Mark, thank you so much for your time today to talk to us about generative AI, as well as operational resiliency framework that GRF is developing. So thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Thank you, Jane.

A highlight from CARPE CONSENSUS: How to 'Rage Quit' a DAO, Safely
"This is Carpe Consensus. Join hosts Ben Shiller and Danny Nelson as they seize the world of crypto. And hello and welcome to Carpe Consensus. This is a podcast from the Coindesk podcast network and I am Ben Shiller and I am the features editor here at Coindesk and joining me today is Danny Nelson. Hi Danny. Hello and I am not the features editor. I think I'm the managing editor of data and tokens but everything's always in flux here. Who knows? Maybe I'll just call me senior reporter Danny Nelson. You're pretty senior and an important figure here at Coindesk which is a ship that's still sailing along despite a few eruptions recently. How are you holding up Danny? You know I have this wonderful bottle of High West bourbon, not a sponsor of the show. Hopefully they'll become one one day. It's helping me get through these bear market blues I guess I could say. That's right. We've all got to struggle on intoxicating ourselves as best we can. Absolutely. So what do we have on the agenda this week Danny? Take us inside the newsroom. Well before we step inside the newsroom I want to step outside for a bit. I want to hear why you weren't here last week Ben. Oh good lord. Could you share with me in the audience what you were up to? Stuck in the mud maybe. I was actually on international news as it were attending what is known as Burning Man 2023 which is an annual event in the Nevada desert which was quite the escapade this year because of unseasonable rain falling there. First time in 24 years of that great event and it turned the plier as it's known into a quagmire which stopped all vehicles including the port -a -potty vans from coming on site and doing what they needed to do. We ran out of food, ran out of wi -fi and phone access and there was a potential Lord of the Flies situation. It didn't quite come to that but it was certainly a grueling and physically demanding experience although I had a great great great time and I would highly recommend the event to anyone if you've got the stomach for it. So Ben was this your first burn? It was my first burn yeah. Did you adopt a plier name? What was it? I was known as Shillington. So Shillington? Oh my god. You don't actually adopt a name. Someone has to give you the name and then you adopt it for yourself so you can't just call yourself Danny or something. Very good. Now Ben I hate to ask this but you know this is a crypto podcast at least by the name it is. Was there a big crypto scene there? Like how can you pay in Bitcoin if you have no wi -fi? Well first of all there is no money at all so everything is about gifting so you can go around for instance with your cup and get free drinks and free whatevers and there's no exchange of money. But there are a lot of crypto people there, a lot of crypto talks about blockchain decentralization and I actually saw a lot of similarities or parallels between crypto and the Burning Man ethos. It's very much hyper individualistic, it's about helping yourself, preserving yourself first before helping others and you've kind of got this hyper communitarian vibe as well which is very crypto as well. So I can see a lot of the values of Burning Man and crypto kind of intertwining which was interesting. Except for that part about no money right? Because crypto is all about new forms of money and Burning Man is about stepping away from that and becoming one with something different I think. I don't know, I've never been, I'd like to go. It's certainly very interesting yeah it's about you know hyper self -reliance, self -expression and inclusion and doing away with money although you know although there's no money it is quite capitalistic in terms of the exchange that's going on so it's like it is sort of a marketplace of innovators kind of swapping services and whatever with one another so that's kind of capitalistic. How many pairs of shoes did you lose in the mud? That's a good question. So I mean the mud was so deep that if you had a boot on as I did you kind of got you know a double boot as it were so it was like your boot and then kind of a foot of mud underneath and it was kind of impossible to walk anywhere because you would kind of get this kind of huge lump of muddy ply on your foot so it was real struggle to walk around so a lot of people just took to being barefoot or in kind of plastic bags around their feet so it was kind of easy to walk around like that. On the other hand it kind of brought everyone together you know so I mean people were sort of doing their own thing and partying, taking drugs and whatever and this sort of extreme event did kind of bring our camp and I think other camps together to kind of work through it so it was kind of interesting to see people in extreme circumstances and how they reacted and some people freaked out and some people worked and worked it out. Well, Ben, I have to say I'm very jealous of you. I really would like to get out to my first Burning Man. A cousin of mine goes every year he's on the psych team helping people who are going through mental crises which is quite an important role when you have 70 ,000 people on mushrooms in the desert.

A highlight from Saved by Grace - Ed Nelson Biography
"Well, greetings everyone. I'm here today with Emily Nelson, a 2016 BJU graduate, somebody I very much want you to meet. She has some exciting things to tell you and I pray that you will hang on with us for just a little while, maybe eight or ten minutes, and be blessed by what Emily has to say. She has written a biography of her grandfather, Dr. Ed Nelson, a graduate of BJU. I've known Dr. Nelson since I was really young. He's a few years older than I am, so you can imagine how ancient he really is, but you'd never know it. He's as energetic as he was when I first knew him. I've never met a man so restless for the cause of Christ and the gospel than Dr. Ed Nelson. Emily, thank you for taking your time to be with us. Thank you for having me. I want a quick question to get into this. Why should anybody want to read about your grandfather, Ed Nelson? Well, I'm biased for sure because it's my grandfather, but he really has had a remarkable life, and it's a life full of the miraculous, a life full of just believing God and expecting him to work. And I know as I helped him write this book, it was a real challenge to my own faith just to believe God at his word and to expect him to work. My grandfather, who loved your grandfather very much, as did my dad and as do I, my grandfather said, every great man at some point comes under the dominating influence of some great truth. What would you say is that dominant truth that gripped your grandfather when he was young and that kind of drove him through his life of ministry? I'd say it was probably this. I am a sinner, and I have a great savior, and I want to do everything I possibly can to further his kingdom because of what he's done for me. That's very well put, and I think it absolutely describes what propelled him through life. He was always in motion. I've never met him when he was not just like a meteor crossing the sky. His energy was remarkable. I've been with him on some long mission trips, and no moss ever grew under his feet. The title of the book is A Sinner Saved by Grace, so that was a good description. Tell me about the time, the point in life, when he became a grace -saved sinner. What was he doing at the time? What influence did God bring into his life that got his attention and brought him to Christ? Well, he grew up on a farm in Windsor, Colorado, which is a little bit north of Denver. He had aspirations of being a great farmer just like his dad was. When he was 17 years old, he was in a farming accident. They were a very moral family, and his dad would take them to church every Sunday, but it was not a Bible preaching church. When he was in that accident, the doctors said he wouldn't make it through the night. He prayed and said, God, if there even is a God, I want you to hear my prayer, and I want you to save my life. If you do, if I live, then I'll get a Bible and I'll read it. Well, he made it. Spoiler alert. He made it, but he did get a Bible, but he didn't understand it until about four years later, your grandfather, actually, Dr. Bob Sr., was preaching at the First Baptist Church in Fort Collins, and his mailman came by and invited him to the revival meetings. He didn't really want to go, but out of respect for the mailman and his testimony, he was like, fine, I'll go. So he went that first night, and your grandfather preached and said that he was a sinner and that he deserved to die. It made him so angry that he found that he would never go back. Well, the next day on the tractor out on the field, he was like, I wonder what he's going to preach about that would make me mad again. And so he went back, and that happened four nights. And on the fourth night, he was like, you know what? What this man is saying is true, and it's not, I haven't been angry at him. I've been angry at God because I know that this is truth. And so he surrendered his life, and he came to know the Lord that evening. And I asked him when I was writing the book with him, I said, Grandpa, what were you saved from? And he was like, I was saved from my own goodness, because he was such a good moral person. He was saved from his own goodness, and he said that he knew deep down inside that there were things that he would think or say or look at that were not godly. And nobody else knew it, but that's what he was saved from. From that point in time, his life changed forever. The self -righteous sinner may be the hardest sinner to open his heart to the Lord.

A highlight from CARPE CONSENSUS: Did Centralization Cause the Base Blockchain Outage?
"This is Carpe Consensus. Join hosts Ben Shiller and Danny Nelson as they seize the world of crypto. Welcome to Carpe Consensus. I'm your host, Danny Nelson. The only surviving host after the apocalypse that is layoffs and or holiday breaks. This week we are joined by Sam Kessler, another wonderful reporter here at Coindesk, which is of course the network that brings you all these wonderful Coindesk podcasts. Sam, welcome to the show. Hey, Danny. Happy to be here. Awesome. And just a listener note, Ben will at some point in the future return. But not this week. This week we're going to be talking about outages, outages, outages, outages. The latest outage in crypto world is on the biggest blockchain or rather not the biggest blockchain but the most notable one of late. That's Coinbase's base. Earlier this week, I think it was on Tuesday, the base chain stopped producing blocks, which is a wonky way of saying that it stopped working because if you don't produce blocks in your blockchain, you're not adding anything to the chain. And if you're not adding anything to the chain, nothing's happening. So Sam, do we have any idea why nothing was happening on the base chain? So they say they being Coinbase, it's a little bit confusing Coinbase, the company created base, the blockchain. And there's always these divisions that they try to do to make it clear that the blockchain is not the company. But anyway, in this case, they said that they had a delay in block production due in part to our internal infrastructure requiring a refresh. Then they said the issue was identified and remediated and they did eventually get the chain back online. I think it was like 45 minutes altogether. In those 45 minutes, you can learn quite a lot just about how base is because Coinbase is making all this noise about, well, we're over here, base is over there. We're going to be influential within base, but we are not base. Well, someone is base and whoever that someone is had to do a manual refresh of the chain in their own words to make it work. And this reminds me of all the times that Solana has gone offline, which is one of its skills as a blockchain, just going dark. In those instances, what happens is in the discord, all the different people who run the infrastructure, because there isn't internal infrastructure, this is spread out across many different people in many different countries. These people come together and they organize usually with a Google doc and a lot of cursing, how to initiate a restart by basically moving their validators back to an earlier version of the software and hoping that it works without a hitch. From my understanding of what base said here, which isn't much, well, they had their infrastructure internally and they needed to unplug the router and plug it back in to make it work. Is that an oversimplification? So is it an oversimplification? A little bit, but I think it kind of does get to the main point that people started focusing on when this outage happened this week, which is that layer two products like base, like optimism, like arbitrum, like all these things that are trying to speed up transactions that still settle on Ethereum. These roll up chains, these layer twos are not equivalent to using Ethereum, the base network itself. It obviously is not a good look for a blockchain to go offline. But then when we look specifically at what a roll up chain is supposed to do, what a layer two chain is supposed to do, those are terms used to refer to what base is supposed to be. These networks are supposed to bundle up transactions from users and then send them to Ethereum. So they're separate networks, but they still settle transactions on Ethereum with ideally the same security guarantees that you'd get on Ethereum itself. This was an example of how, at least today, the promise of equivalence with Ethereum is not true. There's a lot that we can get into. Danny, what do you think? I don't know, like, I can't get over this idea that you have to practice what you preach and this whole world is all about decentralized infrastructure. Okay, well, maybe then if we're being purists, we shouldn't have a layer two. If the thing that you're building on is so fundamentally unusable, that you need to have a centralized solution on top of it to make it work, which is, I think, fair to say the core premise of all layer two networks, that being ETH is valuable, but it's also not useful and therefore we can be useful on top of its value. Well, it's a pretty big concession to say, use our thing that we will update. We will decide what the update is. We will push the update. And then if the update doesn't work, we're gonna roll it back and try something new. And maybe we'll tell you what it is. They haven't actually told us what it is, but they say internal infrastructure. This is happening inside, they're making the decisions. We don't know what those decisions are. And so to me, it just makes it not valuable as a platform to use. To give them a little bit, them being base and these other layer two networks, a little bit of the benefit of the doubt. They are very transparent in a sense, at least if you go into their developer docs, even though it's not in their marketing. They're transparent that they still use training wheels. And that's a term they use to refer to things like a centralized sequencer, for example, which is kind of the method that Coinbase, the company uses to propose blocks on base, the blockchain. Right now, base is centralized in that Coinbase is the only entity that is allowed to do this. It's the only one that runs the sequencer. It essentially is the sole entity responsible for bundling things up and passing them down to Ethereum. But there are things that are coming around the bend that will allow Coinbase to decentralize elements of its infrastructure like its sequencer. And the reason why they haven't been implemented according to Coinbase and all of these layer two networks that still have specifically centralized sequencers is just that there's security risks today to implementing that kind of functionality. There's more outages that we might see because of the state of that technology. So in the long term, they are going to decentralize, but they haven't done so yet. It's not just about these, in this case, these sequencers that I'm talking about, the fact that Coinbase infrastructure in the case of base is the only entity running the base blockchain. There's so many other things that you can look at under the hood that in my mind is way more compromising to the integrity of these systems than just the fact that they can go offline. So you're saying that the trading wheels are fundamentally a flaw. I wouldn't say that they're fundamentally a flaw. I would say that they exist. And that's just the reality of how the systems work today is they have, they're called training wheels. You eventually take them off. So today, if you look at these systems, if you want to say, hey, use layer twos, they're cheaper, they're faster, and they're equivalent to using Ethereum. It's just like using Ethereum, except it's just better in all of these different user experience ways. That would be a false statement. And that is the statement that you often see reflected in the marketing from base optimism, Arbitrum and so on. So that is true. That is a flaw. But if they do hope to live up to that marketing, these training wheels are necessary. So yes, they're a flaw, but if they go away, it doesn't mean they're fundamentally destroying the entire premise upon which these things are built.

A highlight from CARPE CONSENSUS: Time to Treat Like Cases Alike, Judge Says in Grayscale ETF Appeal
"This is Carpe Consensus. Join hosts Ben Shiller and Danny Nelson as they seize the world of crypto. Hello and welcome to Carpe Consensus. I'm your host, Danny Nelson. Ben Shiller is out this week. So I'm anchoring the show with a couple of guests. We're going to talk about the latest and greatest in the crypto world. We're going to start off with inside the desk. Inside the desk today, I've got Margo Nykerk. She's one of our excellent tech and protocols reporters at Coindesk. Margo, I hear you've got a story for us that gets into decentralization base, Coinbase, all this good stuff. What do you got? Thanks, Danny. Thanks for having me here today. So I recently wrote a story about Coinbase. They came out with their principles known as the base neutrality principles, which basically is like a framework for how Coinbase's layer two base is going to tackle decentralization and neutrality when it comes to the order of transactions. And basically, just to give a high level overview of what it is, they're drawing their principles off of optimism's law of chains, which is basically like a set of principles aimed at uniting optimism's chain under one framework and one vision, as they like to say, called the super chain. The law of chains basically sort of sets up guidelines for different optimism's governance groups to head towards that. And since base is using the OP stack, which is optimism's technology, that's where they've sort of drawn this inspiration from. I think this is very interesting because it sort of shows Coinbase's delicate dance when it comes to trying to reap the benefits from its associated network, but also not exude too much control over the layer two. So Margo, let's talk tech for a second. What is Coinbase's actual role in keeping base running? Yeah, so that's a really good question. For those who don't know, when you're transacting on an L2, that data always gets compressed and sent to an L1. In this case, the L1 is Ethereum. And Coinbase plays a role in this because they are running a sequencer, which is basically that node or the computer, basically, that sends that transaction data to the L1. As part of that, a sequencer is able to get some revenue based off of the user's transaction fees. The more users there are on base, the more profits Coinbase is able to generate from that. And so this has brought sort of into question, what's the fine balance for Coinbase in terms of how much revenue it's able to make off of this while also trying to stay a little bit away from this project as they pivot towards decentralization. But yeah, the sequencer is a big component in this path towards, I keep using the word decentralization, whatever. Well, we can talk more about decentralization because I'm wondering how seriously one should take a copy like Coinbase saying at all that they're ever trying to be decentralized. Coinbase is the main custodian provider for all these Bitcoin ETF applications, which we talk about in a different part of today's episode. It's also a big part of the USDC stablecoin. It's also the biggest US exchange. It also has a derivatives market. It also has its own blockchain. If you want to think about crypto companies in terms of power, and if you think about it in terms of power, you also think in terms of centralization, Coinbase is a power center. So how can a company like that ever be saying, well, we are this giant with all these different things, and by the way, you should use our chain, but we're going to make it decentralized. Does that make any sense? How does that work? Yeah, no, that is what we're trying to make sense of because on the one hand, like you said, it is a very centralized entity, and this is another way for them to generate profits. And also who knows what, especially around the sequencing, how that falls into legal battles right now with the different products that they offer. It's not necessarily a product that they're offering, but it is another way of generating some kind of revenue. On top of that too, from what I've heard from the base team itself, it's always been part of their roadmap to participate in decentralization. And the protocols teams at Coinbase have participated in, I can only speak for the Ethereum ecosystem because that's what I cover, but they have participated in various EIPs and important upgrades to scale Ethereum. So they are involved in those conversations and it is sort of part of the roadmap, but this is sort of a, like an oxymoron what's going on right now. So yeah, those are great points.

A highlight from THE HASH: Mastercard, Binance to End Crypto Card Partnership; Why Meme Coin PEPE Is Tumbling
"Hey, everybody. Happy Friday. Welcome to The Hash. It's Coindesk TV. I'm Zach Seward. That's the show. We've got two special guest stars on the show today. Sam Kessler, the real Danny Nelson. Let's do this thing. How are you doing, guys? Doing well. It sounded like you were calling me the real Danny Nelson and I was confused. Well, yeah. That's a fake one. My bad. Anyway, forget all that nonsense. Let's talk about Binance. I'm starting this off today. Mastercard ends Binance card partnership in latest blow to crypto giant. A bit dramatic of a headline, I would say, by CNBC. I think this is certainly in line with the reputational risk that is associated with Binance right now and Mastercard acting on that reputational risk is saying, hey, we're not doing those cards in the Middle East and Latin America anymore. We don't want your name on our product. I think it stems from a lot of stuff going on with Binance that we've been documenting over these last few months as regulators worldwide. Kick the tires and understand if anything shady is going on, including US authorities. I'm going to toss this straight to Danny for his thoughts on this one. What do you think? Mastercard, Binance, breakup, does it matter? What do we think of this? Well, it certainly matters and I don't know the numbers of this deal, but let's pretend that I do for a second. Let's just think about it. If you want to stick with the business decisions that are making you money, I don't know in this environment how much money this was bringing in, right? How much revenue was being driven for Mastercard by this tie up with Binance? Then does that revenue make it worth the reputational risk of just being associated with Binance? The answer, regardless of the numbers, which I don't know, but will pretend to, obviously was no. I don't think that bodes well for any crypto payment device. You have to remember the way these cards generally work. You can't pay with Bitcoin from your Bitcoin wallet at a point of sale. What you can do is have it in some sort of vault, some sort of account where that can be drawn from by a credit card processor, such as Mastercard or Visa or another layer that feeds into them. Then they pay with dollars or euros or pesos or whatever at the point of sale. The merchant doesn't actually have to deal with the crypto and no cryptos going across Mastercard, Visa's networks, but the name Binance is still associated. That's just not good in the eyes of Mastercard to be associated. Sam, what's your take on this? Yeah, I think if you look at this from both ends, both from the Mastercard and Visa end, as well as from the Binance end, I think the best way to view this is in terms of reputation and marketing. As somebody like Danny, who does not know the exact numbers, my last recollection when I was trying to kind of learn about this stuff a while back was that this card thing was not actually a huge part of Binance's business, something in like the single digit percentage points in terms of its overall revenue, but it was a key way or seen as a key long -term way for Binance to recruit new users and to turn specifically Bitcoin and other virtual currencies into day -to -day payment methods, which is something that crypto has always kind of seen as its eventual golden goose and just hasn't come to happen. So when you look at this from a reputation and marketing standpoint in the Binance end, and then it's on like a crypto writ large, and I think the erosion of these partnership deals from Visa, Mastercard, and probably long -term with other companies and other cards, it's actually going to be a blow more towards the idea of crypto in general being a sort of payment method. I think it's less of just like a Binance, Mastercard, Visa thing, and the reputation of these assets as those sorts of payment methods is going to go away. Zach, what do you think? I don't know. I mean, I am long -term bullish on stable coins being used for payments in new and novel ways. But again, I think your point generally stands as it relates to like these cards, which I think historically these cards have been very overblown, right? There'd be like a lot of like, yeah, there's a Visa card attached to Coinbase or something. And I think a lot of it was just sort of very far again from the roots of crypto and probably ultimately not that impactful outside of just some initial euphoria of, oh, the big brands like us now. So now we get to see the flip side of that play out. And I think that's all well and good. But I will say, despite your proclamation, I think there is a bullish case for stable coins on these open blockchains being used at scale to do cross -border payments much more conveniently than these existing cards are configured to do. But I got to get Jen's take. I got to throw it to you. Well, I tried to use one of these cards, not the Binance one, and it has never worked. So I am, because of that experience, just not bullish on any of these credit card exchange partnerships. My money is still there. I should probably get it off at some point. I agree with all of you. I think from a business and PR perspective, MasterCard looked at what has been going on with finance, not only in the US, but in countries all over the world. They've exited Canada, they've exited the Netherlands. They are facing regulatory scrutiny in various different countries and just thought, you know, this probably isn't worth it. From MasterCard's point of view, they've been exploring Web3 too. You know, I think last month we heard that they had a bunch of partnerships for this Web3 music accelerator. They were recently talking about CBDCs, a consortium with Ripple and Fireblocks. And so I think they're starting to explore where their foothold is in the Web3 space and starting to realize that maybe it's not in these exchange partnerships. And Zach, to your note on the stable coins, you have turned me. I am also becoming very interested and bullish on stable coins as payments, especially after PayPal's PAI. Before the end of next week, I will say PAI USD properly. We have the PAI USD and then we have that new Shopify partnership with Solana's payment infrastructure where people are going to be able to use USDC. So I think the credit cards are out and the stable coins are in. And that is my hot take here. You are going to be sitting pretty when USDC pumps to $2 after these proclamations, my friend. Let's do this thing.

A highlight from CARPE CONSENSUS: Insights From El Salvador's Pioneering Legal Tender Experiment
"This is Carpe Consensus. Join hosts Ben Shiller and Danny Nelson as they seize the world of crypto. Hello and welcome to Carpe Consensus. This is a podcast from the CoinDesk podcast network and my name is Ben Shiller. I'm the features editor here at CoinDesk. And joining me today is Danny Nelson. Hi, Danny. Hello, Ben. How are you? I'm good. It was a tough week for CoinDesk last week with a series of layoffs that we were impelled to make. How are you feeling about all that? You know, it's a tough situation. You got to just keep looking forward. Right now I'm looking forward to the next step of my day, which will be procuring a sandwich. So Ben, I have to ask you, what's your stance on cheesesteaks? I'm not a big fan of cheesesteaks. I kind of gone off meat recently, but I... Off meat? What are you, a communist? Maybe I'm a communist, but I'm definitely off meat. But I appreciate and respect anyone who does like cheesesteaks. And I know that's a popular thing down your way. Yes, in Philadelphia. And of course, Philadelphia, out of my mind. Later in today's show, we will be having a guest who had a recent stint in Philadelphia before moving to more tropical pastures. But more on that later. That's right. That pasture would be El Salvador, and we'll get to that in a minute. Okay, so what's on your sort of docket in terms of work, Danny? On my docket, I'm going to be later today thinking about base, what's going on with that network, Coinbase's blockchain, what's going on in terms of activity on base. I don't have an answer for you yet, because I haven't started the story. Okay. I mean, it seems to get quite a lot of attention, this base product, and maybe more than you might expect in a down market like we have. And that seems to be linked to a couple of sort of hypey projects like FriendTech. Yes. As far as I know, FriendTech is a platform that lets you buy and sell shares in other people in a social media setting. I don't fully understand it, but the big ball of money that moves between different ideas and crypto from ordinals to other NFTs, it's a DeFi. Right now, it's focusing on FriendTech, like a tropical storm passing over a city. And that's where the money is. I don't know how to make the money though. That's why I'm here on this podcast. Right. So you seem to think that that's like hot money. That's not like real money. People really investing in the project, it's more speculation. Oh, 100%. Maybe, maybe some of those people, maybe 10 of the 20 people who use it might stick around to actually utilize it. But right now, it is succeeding because it is appealing to people who think, I can make money on this thing. They're not so concerned with what that thing is beyond what they need to understand in order to exploit it. And that's by design. That's with all these crypto systems. It's an incentive mechanism. How do we monetize and gamify a system to get people engaged? And then can we retain that engagement and carry it forward so that people actually use the thing? So right now, FriendTech is having its boom. What will happen next? If it's like every other crypto anything, then much of the activity will dissipate as the big ball of money moves elsewhere.

The Republican Party Sabotaged Barry Goldwater's Presidency
"York Nelson Rockefeller he was sabotaged you by the governor of Pennsylvania another Republican Scranton he was sabotaged by Republicans all over the country been part of the ruling class some even had claimed to be conservative Barry went too far. He was conservative a and he actually meant it. He meant it. They did everything they could to destroy Barry Goldwater because they didn't want the Republican Party in control of this controlled by this guy didn't matter that he was running for president didn't matter that he was running against one of the great American racist and segregationist of all time Lyndon Lyndon Baines Johnson didn't matter if if they couldn't control the Republican Party in the Republican nominating process and if Barry here's Goldwater who now organized them one more delegates one fair and square they were gonna destroy regardless schools back in session and that's what they did. It would uphill have been an battle anyway since Kennedy had been assassinated and his vice president became president and you had all that going on but but the ruling hated Goldwater. They just hated tried to destroy him

This is a podcast from the CoinDesk Podcast Network and my name is Ben Shiller. I'm the features editor here at CoinDesk. And joining me today is Danny Nelson. Hi Danny. Hello Ben. How are you? I'm OK. It's been a tough week here at CoinDesk and we'll explain all about that in a minute. And we should just say that our normal co -host Cam Thompson is not with us today and will not be with us going forward. And we'll explain why in a minute. But how are you feeling Danny? It's been a tough week for CoinDesk so far. We made a series of layoffs recently. And how are you feeling about that? Yeah, it's the crab market, bear market, however you want to call it, takes its toll on everyone including media companies such as ours. So we had pretty extensive cuts this week and everyone's feeling the pain in the newsroom. Yeah, it's definitely a tough time. And anyone who's been in the media business for as long as I have seen a lot of these layoffs before. So it's not totally unexpected. But this is also connected obviously to the crypto market, which has been in a spiral for a while now. And we were protected by our parent company for a while. But that's gotten into trouble and we've now gotten into trouble. So it's a tough time. But we're going to soldier on through this, aren't we Danny? Well we'll certainly see, right? You know, this is my first job out of college. I've been here for four years. We can say I've levered up in my exposure to risk, right? Media is a struggling industry and crypto, the coverage of crypto is, as some might say, a dying fad. So I am in a struggling industry that focuses on a dying fad. So we don't know what's happening in crypto media, but it's not good at the moment. Yeah, so we're not going to sugarcoat this. It's been a tough week for us. And Cam was a casualty in a big round of layoffs here at Coindesk. And we're very sad to see her go. She was a very important member of this podcast and also the wider editorial team and a good egg and a good journalist. And we're very sad for her and for us and for the rest of the team. There were about 20 or so members of the editorial team that unfortunately no longer working with us and through no fault of their own because they all did all good work. So that's very sad. We don't want to make the whole show about Coindesk and the media, but it is an important part of the crypto industry. And we do play a role here in bringing transparency to the industry and holding people to account for what they say they're going to do and what they don't do. So we do feel that we need to discuss what's been going on at Coindesk recently and also in the wider crypto media. Do you feel that there's a loss of faith in what we're doing and in the media generally as regards crypto, don't you? Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, I think that broadly in American society, there's a lack of trust in media institutions. I don't necessarily think that crypto media is prone to the same risks as, say, the New York Times or something like that. But it's worth noting that we are in some ways a casualty of our own success. Coindesk was one of the leading publications that led to the dominoes falling on FTX and Sam Bankman -Fried that had ramifications for the entire industry, including DCG, our parent company, which owned Genesis Lending. And all these chickens come home to roost because even though we are editorially independent from DCG, they do not tell us what to do. They still own us, at least as of August 15th, and therefore their fate and ours are not unlinked.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Featured Story | Aragon Mulled Sale of Crypto Project, Leaked Screenshot Shows
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by Kraken. It's Friday, August 11th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from Coindesk. Danny Nelson here, in for George Kaloudis. On today's show, I'll be looking at the bleeding edge of Dow governance. And just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. I'm Danny Nelson, Coindesk's managing editor of Data and Tokens. And the story we've got today is one that really digs into an alternative way of making money in the crypto ecosystem, where instead of just passively buying and holding cryptocurrencies, you're an activist investor who acquires a position, goes out and then bends the targeted company or project to your will. And this is a story that I've been following for months. It's about the Aragon Association, which is itself a company that focuses on DeFi governance. So let's get into it. The piece is titled, Embattled Aragon Mold Sale of Crypto Project, Leaked Screenshot Shows. The Aragon Association, one of the biggest crypto projects building tools to support decentralized governance, is trying to get out of its own governance pickle. After months of pressure from activist investors eyeing its $180 million treasury, the Swiss -based Aragon project in June explored, quote, selling the project, end quote, to an undisclosed bidder for an unknown price. That's according to a leaked conversation held between activist investors, including the firm Arca. The screenshot is part of a 24 -page investigative report written by the crypto trading firm, Patagon Management. On Wednesday, an anonymous crypto wallet sent the report to Aragon's head of ecosystem. The undated report accuses the Aragon Association of years of missteps, including squandering its hulking $180 million crypto treasury. It also questions Aragon's compliance with Swiss nonprofit law. Coindesk could not immediately confirm those allegations. For months, activist investors engaged in crypto's quote unquote, risk -free value, or RFV, trading subculture, a digital age version of 1980s corporate raiders, have targeted Aragon. They bought up Ant governance tokens in order to wield influence over Aragon Dow. Most crypto traders try to passively make money by speculating on price. But RFV traders have a different strategy. They buy tokens that are trading below book value, which is to say the value held in a project's treasury. Then the activists push to close the gap and capture a hefty profit.

A highlight from CARPE CONSENSUS: PayPal Steps Into the Stablecoin Game
"This is Carpe Consensus. Join hosts Ben Shiller, Danny Nelson and Cam Thompson as they seize the world of crypto. Hello and welcome to Carpe Consensus. This is a podcast from the CoinDesk Podcast Network and I am Ben Shiller and welcoming today Cam Thompson. Hi Cam. How are you? It looks like you're on holiday. Yes. Well, not on holiday, just working remotely from another location. I am currently in Maine right now and it's very nice, very breezy, a little chillier up here, but I'm not complaining. You know, lots of lobster. Mmm, lobster, nice. Lobster for breakfast, lobster for lunch. Literally, lobster at every meal. So we've got a bumper packed show today. Danny Nelson is out. He's at a hackathon in Utah, which is a nice place to be this time of year as well. And then we're going to get to some big news in the world of crypto, which is the issuance of a new stablecoin backed by PayPal. We're going to talk about its very big news and we'll have David Morris, who's the chief columnist here at CoinDesk to talk about that a little later on. And let's get to that. OK, we're going to get to our next segment now, and we're joined by the great David Morris here, the chief columnist here at CoinDesk. Welcome, David. Hey, glad to be here, Ben. Good to have you. So we're going to get to the big news this week, which is a new stablecoin from PayPal. It's on Ethereum. It's USD backed and it's very big deal in crypto. PayPal has about four hundred and thirty five million customers. So this is seen as a big mainstreaming moment for crypto. What do you make of this, David? What are your big takeaways? Yeah, the implications of this are, I think, pretty big. I think there are a lot of questions that still remain to be answered about what PayPal's real motivation is here, what their business case is. But it's going to have, I think, pretty significant impacts, particularly on regulation, because I think this this does put a fire under people in terms of getting some kind of structure in place by which these things are supposed to operate. And I think there are some interesting possibilities from a consumer perspective, although I wonder about exactly how PayPal is going to get people to to use this versus their regular service and how those will interact. So lots, lots to discuss. Definitely. So David, about 30 minutes ago, you tweeted PayPal USD will be the most censored and seized centralized cryptocurrency of all time. What are your thoughts behind that? Yeah, well, I think this is a very important thing in the fact that I think it's not totally widely understood is one of the reasons I tweeted that thing is because, you know, everybody talking here, but maybe not all listeners know that not just Circle and USDC, but Tether, which is, you know, mysterious offshore entity. They still cooperate with governments when they get anti terrorism, anti money laundering notices asking that they block particular users. So there are, you know, pretty constant cases of censorship on Circle and Tether. I say PayPal will be the worst for two reasons. One is that PayPal already has a really established track record of being very quick with blocking people, seizing people's accounts, providing very little explanation, doing it for unclear reasons. And then second, I think that there will be probably a decent number of people who try and use this product in an illicit way thinking that it is uncensorable because it's crypto. And I wouldn't put it past PayPal that that is at least like part of their thinking here, not to say that it's part of their strategy or the reason they're doing it. But I think that they they must be aware that there will be a certain number of people who misuse this product thinking it's something that it's not. So that was what I was thinking there. So just to get on that kind of centralising point that you made, I mean, a lot of people are quick to say this is good for crypto. But I guess the question becomes, what do you mean by crypto? Because, you know, okay, if you have this stable coin, you can buy Bitcoin and Ethereum on PayPal with it. But it isn't necessarily an endorsement of an open source version of crypto, is it? I mean, a stable coin issued by a company like PayPal is not really crypto in the sense of, you know, what we mean by the Bitcoin white paper. Yeah, I mean, I think that we're in the territory now where there is a, you know, it's not just PayPal, there's a debate within the crypto community about what that means and what we're actually going for. And I think it's a legitimate debate at this point, because you do have fully decentralised, fully uncensorable things like Bitcoin. But stable coins are clearly a part of the ecosystem.
Leading Saints Podcast
A highlight from Leaders Perspectives on Strengthening YSA
"Hey everyone, this is Kurt Frankam, the host of the Leading Saints podcast, and I'm excited to announce that we will be helping premiere a new podcast that is actually produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints. This podcast is called At the Table, creating space for single members of the church. I actually had the pleasure of partnering with the church to produce this podcast, and so I wanted to make sure the Leading Saints audience is aware of it. We will be publishing three episodes over the next three weeks on the Leading Saints podcast feed to give you a little flavor, and then you can hear the other episodes by subscribing to the At the Table podcast on whatever platform you listen to Leading Saints. This will most likely be a semi -annual series. To help the church improve the podcast content, each episode will have a link in the show notes for a feedback survey. After listening to each episode, we encourage you to take the time to fill out this short feedback survey. Now let's jump into the first episode. on the At the Table podcast. I'm currently in Provo, Utah, but I was born and raised in Livermore, California, right outside San Francisco, California. I ended up serving my mission in New Hampshire, the New Hampshire -Manchester mission, and some of my favorite things are playing pickleball, tennis, or staying inside playing some board games or reading books as well. And I'm just really excited to be part of this. My name is Kami Castrijon. I'm originally from Colombia. I was born and raised there, and I moved to the United States when I was 16. I moved to the big city of New York, and that's where I joined the church. And then soon after, I served my mission in Riverside, California. Then after my mission, I moved to Utah, and I've been here ever since. I love dancing, especially salsa, hiking, baking, and I am thrilled to be part of this amazing podcast At the Table. I'm Kami Castrijon, and we're happy to be here at the institute, and we're here with some phenomenal leaders, and we'll give you the time to introduce yourselves. All right, my name is Bishop Wessel. I am the bishop of a geographic ward north of here, and I've been the bishop for about two and a half years. I'm President Bigelow. I'm the stake president of the Riverton YSA stake. I am President Boha, the second councilor in the stake presidency of the Riverton Young Single Adult Sake. We have this new document, this strengthening YSA that was just released in the library, and we just kind of want to go through with initial thoughts and impressions that you have or anything like that. Like, what did you think when you first saw this document or when you piloted these things in your ward? Yeah, I'll jump in there. Just the idea that the church is thinking about young single adults and trying to come up with something to address young single adult needs, and their participation in the church I thought was awesome, was amazing. As I look at the church, I think it's really well organized for the youth, and it's really well organized for older people. Maybe there's some opportunity there in the middle for young single adults for us as an organization to meet the needs or interact with young single adults in a better way and invite them, invite you to come in and participate in this church that is ours together. And so I was really excited to see that the church was doing something there. It just, when we were called to stake presidency, the General Authority 70 who came made a comment. He said to our stake, he said, this is not, he said, I want you to think about yourself as a YSA stake. You are a stake of Zion, just like any other stake in the church. And I think this document really speaks to that idea of young single adults taking the leadership roles for their stake. But there's a wonderful balance that can come when you have some people who have had lots of years of experience together, yoked together equally with young single adults to create some pretty spectacular things. And I think that's what I felt as I went through the document is that this is setting the stage for a great deal of growth for young single adults. You know, it just really just got broadcasted and put on the tools. For me, it started, my awareness kind of started when the, when him and his wife gave the fireside for young single adults. You know, at the moment I was teaching a class for single adults in my stake. And then they had the broadcast that came out in May where him and Sister Nelson talked. And in his beginning speech, he said, they've been waiting months for this. So, it'd been something that he's been inspired to kind of head and to be able to address the young adults before anybody, you know, in the beginning of the year. And so, he also gave that charge for us to take charge of our testimonies. He gave that to the young adults first. And then he mentioned it again during conference, where he says, hey, I just want to remind you of the charge I gave to the young adults. And this is something that I guess I boast of the young adults is he kind of gave the young adults the charge first. And he's kind of like giving the young adults the baton and saying, hey, here you go. You run with this. You're the one that's going to do it. And so, you know, that, and I don't know if in sequence that was planned or not, but just his ability to say, young adults, I'm going to give you the charge to take charge of your testimonies. And then he gives a couple principles and teaches us about that. But just glad to be able to take this on and apply it to our great members of the young adults. I mean, you've kind of got our responses as leaders. How do you young adults feel as you kind of see the initiative of the church coming out with special attention to your growth, especially in your leadership skills and your leadership abilities? I mean, how does that make you feel? You're the direct, I guess, the direct audience of this revelation and of this initiative. How does that make you feel? No, I love that question. And I was, as you were speaking, I was trying to think of my experience in the YSA world, I guess, because I'm a convert to the church and I was baptized when I was 17. And I remember when I turned 18, I was in New York and I didn't want to move to a YSA ward. I wanted to stay in my family ward. I was kind of scared. I went and visited the YSA ward there and I just didn't feel like I belonged, you know? And then I went on my mission, moved to Utah, and I've been here for a few years, but it wasn't until recently that I felt like I belonged somewhere, that I had, that my voice counted, you know? And I've been able to see how other friends of mine, and I was in a Spanish YSA ward, and so it was great for me to see how our culture, our Hispanic culture, we're being given the opportunity to lead and to learn more about how everything works in the church, especially like me being a convert. I didn't really know how everything worked. And so when I was given the opportunity to lead, I was given a calling and that's how I started understanding, oh, this is how the church works. This is how we do things and we often hear that we're going to be the future of the church. We are right now leading the church and I think that's great. So that's been my experience.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Featured Story | Solana Tokens or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Points
"This episode of Market Staley is sponsored by Kraken. It's Saturday, August 5th, 2023, and this is Market Staley from Coindesk. George Kalouda is here again with your weekend story on today's show. We're taking a look at Solana and just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide financial advice. I'll be reading an opinion piece by Coindesk managing editor Danny Nelson titled Solana tokens or how I learned to stop worrying and love the points. Salt Lake City. The way Barrett from Cypher Protocol sees it, Solana's comeback depends on one thing, tokens, specifically new tokens from teams on the Solana blockchain that haven't issued them before. They're the key to driving liquidity, trading activity, and most important, new users into a decentralized finance ecosystem that sorely needs all three. Barrett, the founder of crypto trading platform Cypher, sat down with Coindesk on day two of this summer's Mountain Dow, the biannual hacker house, now in its fourth edition. He's the event's emcee and chief organizer and via Cypher, its main sponsor, alongside MarginFi, an on -chain lending platform. The two have charged up Solana's growth leaderboard in recent weeks, partly because of loyalty programs that give points to crypto traders who participate in their respective markets. These points aren't themselves tokens, but nearly everyone amassing them is convinced they'll transmogrify into a token payday, possibly soon. Barrett, who has gone by his mononym first name at least since Cypher launched in 2021, won't confirm whether the crypto lending startup is on the cusp of landing a token or will ever hold an airdrop. It hardly matters. All those askers of when Cypher airdropped are plowing their points earning capital through Cypher's markets for trading crypto assets like Sol, ETH, and BTC anyway. This excitement is giving Cypher its first taste of success after three years and just as many pivots. On Wednesday, Cypher V3, which Barrett describes as a generalized decentralized exchange, crossed $2 million in total deposits for the first time ever, we are consistently ranking top five in growth across one, seven and 30 day periods in the Solana ecosystem on both users and TVL that's total value locked. Said Barrett, the protocol has grown 1 ,384 % since launching a liquidity incentives program and more than doubled since debuting points. He added, he continued trading volume is picking up on spot and perps markets referring to perpetual futures contracts. Cypher is part of what Barrett calls Solana DeFi 2 .0, a loose confederation of protocols that are hitting their stride deep in the super fast blockchains bear market, many of the teams that were around during Solana's payday in summer and fall 2021 when token linked protocols like Mango Markets, Saber and Serum commanded the ecosystem's attention.

So if you look on a PlayStation or an Xbox or a Nintendo platform or on steam, running into something that I'm working on is or have worked on, there's a better chance than not that you'll find it pretty quickly. So strange scaffolds is the name for a lot of my collaborations, but for stuff outside of that, like skateboard or hypnospace outlaw. If you like one thing we're doing, there's a vibrant thread of work to be followed. Zavier Nelson junior, I want to thank you so much for coming on the show. One, thank you for sharing your really unique look into game development and I think honestly inspiring story about how you even just got involved into games. I love that you really are thinking about not just the stories that you want to tell throughout games, but also how you can make the industry better as a whole. I think that's something that probably, I don't know if many other game developers are doing that, but it seems like that's something that you really tapped into and are trying to put forth and the games that you're creating are fun and unique and I just want to see more of what you're going to accomplish in the future. So thank you so much for coming on the show. I appreciate it. It kind of words mean an immense amount. Thank you. Big,.

What do you think you would have done if you hadn't gone in the game development? I mean, it sounds like you had such an early start. Was there anything else that you had in mind even? My very, very first job was doing landscaping for a cult. Do not recommend it. Well, wait, wait, landscaping for a cult? We're going to move on from that. Okay. But after that, what I got into and what I loved was librarianship, library science, the practice of serving customers in a community through libraries. I found opportunities to with the resources I had and the place that I had in the communities that I was in to end up being a children's librarian, not just one time, but multiple times.

I'm a studio director at strange scaffold, a frequent writer narrative designer collaborator working on dozens of things I've worked in over 60 games in the past 5 years and now my current mission is not just finding new and exciting ways to collaborate with people in my own studio and at the studios and projects of others, but also finding ways to advocate for making games better, faster, cheaper and healthier than they are currently assumed to be made. How has 2021 been for you? Have you learned anything about yourself over the past year? I think one of the primary things I learned over the past year is just how much I cared about production, I do love telling stories. I do love putting things into a video game. I love creative content production. Writing a killer page or scene is a thrilling experience. But when I look at the things that consistently get me out of bed in the morning that may be passionate about waking up and getting to work and collaborating with other people. Getting into the nitty Gritty of how something comes together, the scope of a project, defining, reducing and defining that vision of a project and how it's accomplished and very calculated ways. The exercise of finding new and interesting formats in arrangements for artists coming together to build things together. That makes me feel alive. And so exploring those paths myself sharing what I find along the way and as much as I can opening those doors for others is something that I've discovered. I love so now my mission is finding ways to do that. Again and again and again. That's consistently in healthily as possible..

"On his life while he was in prison but were never successful yes. They actually tried to assassinate him while he was already imprisoned. Also another great fact about nelson's incarceration despite the fact that he was being mistreated beyond belief as a political prisoner and as a black person nelson was able to earn his law degree through the university of london while he was incarcerated nelson's case began to garner international attention and support as people became aware of his fight for the people after being falsely imprisoned for more than twenty years eventually nelson and his fellow members began to have talks with the south african government in order to coordinate their release on the wave of all the support that he'd gained over time this was also a pain staking process but didn't have any true traction until a new president was elected president frederik willem de klerk was elected in south africa. And one of the first things he did was coordinate for. Nelson's release under all the terms. He's been fighting for. Since the beginning the first thing nelson did upon his release was urged those involved in the movement to continue the pressure until the government reformed for the better in particular when the south african black population were given the right to vote. Nelson was also elected the president of the anc in nineteen ninety one and just three years later. Nelson was awarded the nobel peace prize for his anti apartheid. Work in peace talks with president declerk nelson worked with the president to organize the first open election that included black and white candidates amongst the intense chaos and demonstrations happening across the country during the country's reformation period thankfully due to the dutiful and steady negotiation work a level headed and intelligent approach to speaking with the public during this process as well as managing the balance of being a leader nelson was able to secure the first true democratic election in south africa on april twenty seventh nineteen ninety four to no one's surprise nelson mandela was elected as the first black president of south africa. This was an incredible feat. Especially after being imprisoned for more than twenty years not to mention he was seventy seven years. Old nelson would begin the hard in long road of uniting a country that been historically tense and divided supporting his people through a economic collapse as well as securing the rights to vote and a centralized democratic government after serving his term as president nelson retired from politics but not from his humanitarian work. He continued to advocate for causes such as education and health care for his people especially those in the more rural areas of the country while continuing to act as a counselor in certain areas as well nelson was even an advisor in mediator during a civil war in a neighboring country in two thousand seven with his wife. Nelson co founded an organization called the elders. The elders were comprised of political social and economic powerhouses in players. Who all wanted to come together to share their knowledge. The goal of the elders was to work and correct global issues using the combined. Intelligence and experience of those within the group nelson worked tirelessly to secure the freedoms of not just his people but all people all the way up until his passing as nelson aged. He began to experience health issues and would often have to be hospitalized. For long periods of time sadly nelson mandela passed away on december fifth. Twenty thirteen in his home in johannesburg. The very place. He had been imprisoned so many years ago i honestly cannot fully encompass or quantify the impact. This person has had on his country and the globe. Nelson mandela was a person who had a vision not just for a better future for himself but for those around him his commitment to securing freedom up against an unrelenting force with unlimited power like he was going against the actual government who can pretty much do whatever they want to continue in the face of such a opponent that takes a level determination that is almost supernatural and then to be incarcerated falsely and succumb out into still maintain your core self. How does one face. Their ultimate enemy be taken in falsely imprisoned for decades and not lose hope nelson do not allow his current circumstances to penetrate his psyche. He was not afraid of the consequences of his actions. Even if those consequences led to the loss of his own freedoms the emotional fortitude the vision for the future the ability to connect with those in high political positions as well as the everyday people who are working on the farms and in the city's nelson could connect with them all to say he was a leader in my opinion is not adequate. Nelson wasn't a leader. He was change in a single person. He was changed. Personified and unstoppable force. Who didn't need to use force at all and here. I had to use this quote at the end because honestly this is a quote that just makes me want to go out there in. Fight the power. You know what i mean like. I is truly motivating to hear that people continue on no matter what and they continue on in the face of certain death and they know it and this is also important because nelson acknowledged that civil issues. Were just as pressing with native south africans as they were with those who were involved in colonialism which i also thought was so important so during my lifetime i have dedicated myself to the struggle of the african people. I have fought against white domination. And i have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which i hope to live for into achieve but if needs be it is an ideal.

Blame our bird and someone was second RCA released in 1970 and 14 years, but the film we remain unchanged is producer shut akins and Fulton drivers continue upon international formula to Nelson's recordings. Watching instance singers better judgment those albums, birds and Willie Nelson and family were similar stories. Any kind of studio players could cover songs interesting complex and lousy cells. All musician workers agrees there are some nice things on here, but too many are buried under nostrils. And those seem to be able to stand on their own. Despite paltry cells, notes remain those RCA heads later stating, even though his vision, if I were different, I couldn't get mad at the man who believed so deeply my talent.

Yeah that was one of the ones that i wrote a while ago and i just i can't help but just feel like it was sort of written like a band song. It's very like you know. I wanted to write a song. It was it was groovy but mellow and it is sort of. I think it's one of the more fun lyrical songs i've written. I sat and fun playing with words on that song. You know it just felt like. I was tangled up in in my emotions. You know sort of like trying to ride about leaving this girl behind. And maybe i was watching some law and order show or something. I felt like you know is using a bunch of legal terms. This album is more for people who have followed you. It's a more country album you and your band or you're kind of very heavy guitar. Driven california style band. But this one feels a little more austin to me. Yeah i don't know where that california style got thrown into all of those articles. I mean you know we. We did the first record. Was in austin that actually only recorded one record in california or two records in california but most of the time i grew up listening to austin texas musicians and seattle musicians. There's no. There's no bands that i was influenced really from california unless you include like buckling or or you know. The sort of the bakersfield sound merle haggard that kind of thing or a. Neil neil young. I guess supposedly you made his his real sound down there in california but we called ourselves cowboy hippie surf rock when we started out. So maybe california was just sort of grandfathered. In at that point. I mentioned you're from this storied. Musical family not only do grow up and musical family. You joined the family band. Pretty early didn't you. Yeah i started flying when i was thirteen. Fourteen in the band. How long have you been playing by that point of two years. I've really got proficient at least good enough to hand. Hang by the third year. I was playing because i spent hours and hours and hours and hours and hours playing. I didn't i didn't stop. I wanted to be an olympic athlete. When i was a young kid. I wanted to be swimmer. And i knew what it took and i wanted to give that same amount of focus and attention in practice to music to stand out as someone who definitely made their life about music to stand out as someone who loves music and embodies music and isn't just riding on coattails or something you know I feel like i had a little something extra approve in to myself as well as others but most of myself that i was okay on my own and that if my father hadn't been famous i would still be capable of putting in the efforts required working hard enough to stand and be heard no matter what what happened to swimming. Well i got distracted by music. And a certain point i'd started. I'm putting more into music than i did to swimming. Music has taken me all over the world. Music is taken me to to to to love in my life is. It's given me confidence. It's given me strength. If there is a god. I think god is music you know. So when did the songwriting start for you When i was eleven years old. I wrote a song called you were it and my dad liked it so much. She put it on his record. It always will be at the time. I was probably about eleven years old when that happened. So second your eleven you start to get royalty checks from one of your dad's album funny story too. Because when i was older i was living in california i went to i went to loyal marymount university briefly dropped out but as i after i dropped out. I was paying rent at this place in venice california and month to month. It was kind of difficult. I was going on the road and making money but there were there. Were times where. I was not gonna make rent. And i remember one day the dave the rent came due and i didn't have the money i didn't have hardly any money. That point. not sure if anybody realizes. But i never take money from my parents. I just i just kind of. I don't know. I forced myself to separate from that because i again i. It was my own thing. So i couldn't pay the rent and i was driving down the pch. Some something just came over me like okay. I'm going to be okay. No matter what. I'm just going to trust that. Life is life is going to be okay and i got a call as soon as i had. That thought. I got a call. And it was that i had a package fedex so i drove to fedex and i opened up the package and it was a check from writing that song for exactly what was due for my rent. The exact to the dollar amount. And i said wow in on that point at that point on i just started. I just sort of said to what. I'm just going to keep trusting. That is fantastic story. I'll play that saw has if i remember it You're.
