big to fail you can replace that money with a that coin or a quick currency created the central bank and that can compete with bitcoin big win to win because it's the centralized one that allows you to own it and it encourages savings but the fact of the matter is you now have all this disruption you have this competition and when you first saw the call as a report and you were bringing telling the world about all this corruption and problems we now have the ante for us and that is the crypto industry yeah i think it's a good point there is that the next crisis and we know it comes because it comes as a result of the bailouts the other preceding crisis they never solve the problems they just print more money now you've brought up a lot of good points there you've given talks around the world and you have said on many occasions that you can see crypto and bitcoin overtaking the venture capital market and we've got a lot of inroads there to simon dixon were we on that timeline is this now

eclipsing the venture capital market in your view what you think well that's already happening the amount of money raised through i.c.a.o. is lost to now you can have an opinion on them so many of those are scams on resistance security straight up on the screen but the fact of the matter is more money was raised through ideas and venture capital but what happened the world stopped relocating to silicon valley and begging the seas in order to give the money and instead went to the wolves and said do you agree with this valley and the the whole world participated in that then what did venture capitalists will they came along and started investing in the ponzi schemes scams and getting discounts and trying to get discounts and you know sell them to retail and higher prices and what happened is the venti capsule industry saw the participate. in this industry so now the venture capitalists just one of the politics of the. in an industry that

is much greater than that capital and this competition for that so and then the f.c.c. comes along and says well we're going to clamp down on this stuff we're great that means that america is now the worst place in the world in order to raise find that for your business if you're trying to do something in the book chain and create an issue one of the poker. so you know that's the venture capital industry is not disrupted say oh just one of the play is that one of the been invested compete for other money and other investors and there were trying to scramble around in the job and figure out a while well now we can actually have secondary market the quiddity on our investments and if this sort of moving around the regulated route well you have regulated securities you have different jurisdictions that will support the currency and then you'll have completely decentralized out of the control of everyone and those markets are going to exist and people just need to the size like

you hate it it's here it's coming and it's not going away now let's talk about back to the future for a second because you've been on the forefront of the center strain now sense frankly it's that it's a inception and you add an eighty s. licensee alternative trading system license through a company you owned called van of eight now you sold that to coin base. what can you tell us about the deal what does this say for the future in regards to u.s. investors so this is this is the big question you know the u.s. is being cut out of a lot of deals because of the regulations of the u.s. so this deal with coin base that you've been involved with does how is that going to reshape the regulatory framework ever had all your thoughts on just just to get that factually correct that we were a shareholder in key thing capital corp that was then sold to queen bass and queen bass as they came to enter the securities market in order to do that now the

interesting thing right now and this touches upon many of the things that we were actually speaking about is the us legislation is not necessarily fit for purpose for the token market for example there's things in us legislation that states if you have an a.t.f. you can actually display the price and have an order book now the crypto market is used to order book and display and prices you know because if you do have an order book kind of displaying the prices then you need to be registered as a national securities exchange and also in order to sell those exemptions and allow those you know those markets to be nonpublic companies and still be able to sell them as they have been there needs to be a one year lock and according to u.s. securities laws so combine those forces and you actually got a very inappropriate legislative structure and regulatory structure in order to operate the crypto market is used used to now the whole world is focusing on the us

falls asleep because the f.c.c. is the most vocal regulator but around the world they're putting fit for purpose regulations and they don't have the i know the same restrictions from being you know the leading financial market in the world whereas someone else has got the opportunity to leapfrog you know we saw with you know amp a is a leapfrogging the banking system going straight to mobile money well other jurisdictions. leapfrogging securities and exchange and going straight to where we want to be and that's what bank for the future has been working on and we've been all in the question you know is focusing on the us the right strategy is that the right approach well it depends where they go from here and what happens next but if not the holders are restrictions willing to build up a the this in the way the market is once the ones that let me ask you about. you know africa you know you mention and pay say in africa of course we know bit

paisa we've been involved in helping to finance that company and recently a bank the future are good friends a bit mari were able to raise some funds there now got a banking i guess a banking license and zimbabwe so i mean this is part of the great thing about the sinister simon is not only are you disrupting the banking industry as you've stated you know in your book when you started out but you're also changing dynamics in the global finance in a big way so africa potentially could be the whole continent certainly countries with within africa going to leapfrog and head of all these other territories and it could be a really interesting success story you would know better what do you see there absolutely and you know we see a graphically diversified we think unique position in many different geography you know i was just speaking. with i think you spoke to me from unicorn recently and

all the company you know we were we were investing in and in the middle east. and you know in india the banks come along and they. the banks i'm no longer allowed to work with crypto currency exchanges so how does an exchange i mean they're going to react like that well they say thank god we don't have a banking license that creates this great some decent fellow all the gee let's look at different opportunities. well let's look at the cash to create them all to is the banks on allowed to participate regulations if they think that we can participate now the banks can compete with off and so a lot of these announcements that you see also in interpreted the negative but actually have very pulled the can have positive results when the on from in this industry a member of the mouth so it's just for the environment all right i saw him and we got a cutter off there but a fantastic message just work around it the entrepreneurs in crypto are the best and the fear of money is in retreat simon dixon thanks for being on the kaiser

report thank you matt. well that's going to for this edition of the guys report with me max geyser states are blogs they are half simon dixon of back to the future if you want to reach us on twitter it's kaiser report and flex time. originally thought is brought back to us it has taken care of our cars just. for me you could punch in most of them from a completely different car to i would just. as static. the problem is that we kind of have a speed within the state they call nice if it's not part of sweden. or not just the computer. will know ok stop stop stop

stop stop stop it will take cloak over. my culture it's crisp country and we don't do things like that and we tell you if you do then we hate you and somebody hopefully you can do something about this stuff. we cannot be naive about to not attract more gangsters rapists and these words actually that are tearing down this city we wants to be a swedish country and we want to know the people who live here and now to go back. generally speaking mr trump's unilateralists you know to believe that unilateralism which we saw with regards to iran which we also saw with regards to the paris

agreements regarding climate change which was. and with regard to the american embassy in jerusalem all these unilateral decisions i challenge from my point of view the quality of our transatlantic relations. the divisions in us society could be more dangerous than thought with a recent poll finding that nearly a third of americans believe it's still a war is possible. meanwhile president donald trump refuses to rule out recognizing crimea as a part of russia had a summit with blood on their plate. and the world cup in russia enters the knockout stage with sixteen teams still and to win first up vying for a place in the quarterfinals or france and argentina.

this is our senior national coming to you live from the russian capital with me just welcome to the program. deep divisions along party lines and fears over immigration have raised concerns for the ultimate fate of the u.s. almost a third of americans polled said they thought a second civil war was possible picks up the story. pretty hard to believe sounds almost like click or internet sensationalism but it turns out that a number of americans actually do believe that civil war is a possibility furthermore the same poll indicated that roughly sixty percent of americans believe that backlash to donald trump's policies could turn violent the debate surrounding trump's immigration policies and the media fuming over it the gun control debate and the white house in the intelligence community not getting along that has been quite explosive at times a member of the u.s. congress recently raised eyebrows when he compared the current atmosphere to the lead up to the u.s.

civil war the way he put it the usa could be headed toward fort sumpter that was the symbolic attack by slave states this session as it launched the war back in eight hundred sixty one there's even now talk of twenty four seventh's security for members of the trumpet ministration congresswoman maxine waters makes no bones about the fact that she is ready to take the fight against donald trump waybe on capitol hill and the voting booth in the june that he. was to run. the state. you. want to. thank you and you. ok maxine waters herself has now been flooded with a number of threats and actually canceled several speaking events so let's see how people on the streets of new york feel about the rising polarization of american society what percent do you think said it was possible in the next five years. i would have to guess is that i've let me go fifty eight percent sixty six six think

it was possible. thirty or forty maybe thirty percent you're very close thirty one percent what do you think they're getting at why would they think that you know that that the such a possibility thirty one percent saying there could be a civil war maybe you because of the gun control maybe because soft. i mean the racial we're having a lot of problems right now with the president with foreign policy with the immigrant children just too much going on all at the same time and a lot of people are scared and a lot of people are anxious to lot of dissension among americans and a lot of fear. and then creates. that kind of possibility and after donald trump won the highly divisive twenty sixteen presidential election he called for unity of the american people but now opposition

to the president has become so uncivil that it's actually stoking fears of a new civil war. r t new york. it's day seventeen of the world cup in russia and the tournament moves into a new phase the knockout stage only sixteen teams are left and the real drama is about to begin with every game resulting in elimination the b two games a day on saturday first up friends take on argentina and cousin and later on fortune your boy in search of the winners of each match will go through to the quarterfinals. and all the teams have been training the fans have been out showing their support our team has been compiling the best fan videos as part of its online fans' eye view project here's a quick preview the rest are at r.t. dot com.
