talking about a uniform. form from turkey if i'm not mistaken the bank sector and the course correction think there will be affected from this immediately many people may lose their jobs. ok turning your attention to the middle east where the latest round of palestinian protests over occupied territory in the israel border has reportedly seen two protesters killed at least eighty four other people have been injured the i.d.f. have said the time fired shells at a hamas position after palestinians threw explosive devices on forces stationed near the border it's not immediately clear whether the protests at the border were included in a fragile cease fire following two days of heavy fire between hamas militants and israel the ongoing great march of return protests began on the thirtieth of march

more than one hundred fifty civilians being killed since then according to the palestinian health ministry the israeli defense forces say they responded accordingly to standard operating procedures expanding the protesters through explosives and successfully infiltrated israel's territory. is are new stories for now but next when it comes to bitcoin fluctuations have been par for the course since they easy road but what does the future hold for the premiere of cryptocurrency sophie and co digs into the.

oh i'm just so sophie shevardnadze that digital currency bitcoin once a toy for computer nerds is now storing and prized triggering a new gold rush is it just another bubble or the glimpse of their radically new financial future i ask rick. because in cash and founder of the swedish pirate party. the new bitcoin craze is making people rush into cryptocurrency investment with the digital money skyrocketing value putting it into the spotlight but aside from causing a new gold rush bitcoin is promising to completely transform the way we use money what will peer to peer money exchange do to the global banking system what role will the world's governments be left with when bitcoin goes global and can overcome

its unstable nature to bring about a radical financial revolution. yeah welcome to the show it's really great to have you on our program now you predicted bitcoins thousand fold increase back in two thousand and eleven and indeed from one dollar in february twentieth i would hit a record high of almost seven thousand eight hundred eighty dollars last week that had a plunge and it's back up again now why does a kid growing and is there any price limit for bitcoin. yes there is a price limit for bitcoin encrypted currency it is not it cannot displace more money exists in the world so there is an upper ceiling that upper ceiling if you're just regarding bitcoin as a commodity on the market which i think it is like any currency can easily go to one million or more per bitcoin it's important to remember that. bitcoin might not

be the final crypto currency crypto currency will displace the central bank money but with social networks we had six degrees which was reflected replaced by friendster which was replaced by my space which was replaced by facebook so some crypto currency is going to be worth a lot of money which one well that's a gamble so we're having this because i split right without going into too much detail we have two different versions of because as of now you are the man behind the bitcoin cash this is a new version of bitcoin that was created according to your organization in response to ears of mismanagement of that be quite a legacy network is big corn decentralized nature it's accolades hill is it going to keep splintering because there will always be someone in the community who will be and happy about the way functions. the key aspect of bitcoin is that it's

permission less you don't need to ask anybody's permission to do anything and this is key in the entire community which is why i decided to publish a letter where i was chief executive officer without asking anybody's permission as a way to illustrate that we're not asking permission that's just part of our community the person the person who's behind because in cash would depress merely be a french name. says cher who started working on this with again without asking anybody's permission now he don't have to buy big coins you can mine them by using a high powered processor like they won in a video card and the gold rush is on here in moscow ready had video cart shortage she literally couldn't find any stores ever what it was buying them up to furnish bitcoin mining farms but i can because i really make everybody rich no i cannot make everybody rich. this coin right now is

a huge wealth transfer to those who understand. its implications early on the wealth transfer of this magnitude was around eight hundred fifty it was about those who follow the oil there's a huge wealth transfer going on right now where those who used to be poor nerdy geeky sitting in their mom's basement if you like are suddenly the new millionaires . that perhaps more than anything is going to have a profound effect on what the future of our society looks like because for the last two hundred or so years it was the people who found all that decided where money went what research was made and when the geeks and nerds are sitting on that money and deciding what research gets made it's not going to be

a better diesel engine it's going to be a better solar panel it's going to be teleportation it's going to be space travel i think that's going to be one of the more profound changes happening here transferred to an entirely new type of people. everyone john wallace ben waggoner is it. well it comes and goes i mean if i can't get financial advice if cryptocurrency fulfills that promise and there's no indication it wouldn't. the equivalent of one bitcoin needs to be in the two to five million dollar range but at that point it doesn't make sense to measure it in u.s. dollars anymore because the u.s. dollar won't have any measurable value. so it is absolutely not too late just like it wasn't too late when the bitcoin was a three dollars or thirty dollars or three hundred dollars or three thousand

dollars but this is a very high volatility. this is a really risky investment and if you're asking me whether somebody should invest then the answer is nobody should ever invest more. being capable of losing every single last cent of it. goldman sachs c.e.o. lloyd blankfein says bitcoin may be another bubble just like that of the dot coms and j.p. morgan chase c.e.o. jamie dimon compares cryptic heresy to the dutch seventeenth century tulip mania don't these men have a point i mean a bubble forms when there is public ignorance and with most people have a vague idea what it is and how it works. i think that i think you have to point the most people don't really understand what bitcoin is it is peer to peer electronic money that means i have a phone here i can use that phone to transfer money to a nearby phone or to phone on the other side of the planet the transfer is instant

it is practically free nobody gets to decide whether i can make that transaction or not including financial authorities and that in itself will mean a financial revolution this is an extinction level event for banks banks will no longer be unnecessary middle. more than anything why i believe this is the future of finance anonymity makes. obviously very popular but it also enables crime just remember the interests want to cry or run somewhere or this may this can potentially make governments restrict big quote trade substantially and that drastic slump in its value do you think cryptocurrency can partially sacrifices anonymity to ward off shady users. it is more traceable than any money that came before it because every every single unit

of bitcoin is traceable through its entire monetary history through anonymous account but once you're not. one account you can start on raveling where the transactions go. the second part of the question which is more interesting is the government's. bitcoin is a peer to peer currency a peer to peer technology means that there is no middleman. governments have been trying to stop peer to peer technologies since napster and they have been. completely unsuccessful as anybody could possibly be and. so i don't see them being able to stop here to be a currency either which leads me to the last observation that since there is no middle. there is nobody giving permission.

when i'm buying a bottle of water with a credit card somewhere in the background is a bank giving me permission to buy a bottle of water with a credit card and that is a horrifying thought because that means that the bank can also deny me permission to buy a bottle of water nobody thinks of this but it's there with bitcoin this is not true there is nobody needing to give permission in the background there is nobody who gets to say no to a transaction no money can be forced no money can be seized and here's the big problem for governments in the future taxes can no longer be forced i get all the three points that you. said like before you said it's traceable with want to cry we know where the ransom money is going but the accounts themselves are anonymous but even we know that there is an

account with ransom money extorted from ordinary users and it should we have the ability to freeze an account take it back. no why should you i mean this is another you know that here you are working on a new invention a beautiful convenient currency and people use it to pay for child pornography or to order a hit in someone actually they use the u.s. dollar for that yet i never heard somebody arguing against the existence of the u.s. dollar without argument if you're going after drugs straight down the u.s. dollar is unparalleled in use and i never heard that being used as an argument against the u.s. dollar well the complete implementation of cryptic currency make compulsory and impossible what happens to really live governments then like with what will be coined make them is an interesting oh is that what you hope and isn't it interesting i don't i don't i can predict that the changes we're about to see are

so profound. you can no longer just go in and take somebody as money but the worst you can do as a government is to make them sorry for not giving you giving them your money you cannot force it you cannot seize it the changes that is going to bring are so profound to society. we are going to see a lot of governments panicking when they realize they can no longer just sees whatever money they want. we'll take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue discussing what's behind that meteoric rise of bitcoin with great clout clean hands either founder of the pirate party and cryptocurrency evangelist stay with us.

i. both. last time we chased. each one of carrying twenty kilos of drugs. that. is the main thing.

they have this is. i don't know maybe. i will. find out more.

and we're back with great fucking and founder of the swedish pirate party encrypted currency vangelis discussing the future of bitcoin welcome back rick now do you think that governments can come up with own version block change currency make it traceable registered and insured or not we ever evade taxes or fines or hide their profits i know banks are trying to citigroup for instance is definitely doing it right now. there are governments trying there are banks trying there was this sort of mantra or cliched last year on year before last it's not about bitcoin it's about the under innovation of bitcoin called the block chain which is

a solution to a really really really hard problem as in essentially how do you make sure that a lot of people are agreeing on everybody's account balances. because there's obviously an interest in somebody saying that no i have more money and everybody else needs not agree with that governments and banks don't really think in this way but thanks think that they can start a block change technology and then issue more money down the road governments think they can start a block chain currency and issue more money down the road but the whole point of a block change technology is that you are trusting in the mathematics and not in the issuer in this way the block chain a block chain currency versus a central bank currency is

a lot like open source software versus proprietary software like apple macro s. or microsoft windows it took thirty years but in the end pretty much every single computer web server is running an open operating system. in the same way i predict that we'll go from proprietary money to open money permission less money like that coin. now because if it is if say they crypto currency will eventually replace all regular occurrences become the world's only money but can't print to currency is really work for everyone in the world i mean internet connection is not permanent saying people in a sri lankan jungle aren't online all the time for instance and have of african people don't even know what a cell phone is to go online. hundred years ago we asked. what about the places there aren't electricity how will you use an electrical engine then

today there is electricity in most places and where there isn't an atrocity there are batteries there are some specialized cases when you go camping when you go hiking when you go survival training you don't have electricity or internet the way you take for granted but overall i don't see it as a long term concern. you won't have access to the internet because we are just as we speak there's a network of satellites being put the internet in every spot on the globe. atop the reach of banks tragedies current monetary system is too unstable and prone to high inflation at its student to fail well cryptocurrency fill in the vacuum if that is so i mean how will it change saying king. i think you're spot on there the european central bank is printing used to print eighty billion euros per month just

propping up a gigantic bubble happening right now it doesn't do that anymore it just prints sixty billion euros per month in the us federal reserve was printing trillions of dollars and faith in the money supply we know how this ends once a government starts printing money to pay off its own debt the story doesn't have a happy ending anymore it just doesn't history is brutal on this point so crypto currency doesn't really need to replace the us dollar replace the euro it just needs to survive while those behemoths collapse under their own weight and that when that happens it's going to go fast so well they widespread use of cryptic currency while promising a new level of liberty actually discriminate older generations i mean they won't be

easy for older folks to get used to this complicated their usual stuff right well it does it an instant it isn't it is complicated it is too complicated it is it is not usable enough it is not usable enough at all and i agree that this has always been something of a problem in the nineteen twenties when households were electrified there was a training curve where older folks were being shut out from all these new electrical appliances because they had to really learn so much when computers arrived it was the same thing when smartphones arrived it was the same thing there's always a problem where a younger generation needs to take responsibility for if you like introducing the elders to the ongoing changes of society. fortunately there is there's usually somebody in every family who does that but the concern is absolutely valid and the first time because i was used to pay for a real service it cost

a user ten thousand coins to get into pizzas now you guys were seven marion's dollars right i mean thirty five million dollars per pizza i wonder if that mare really wishes it cooked at home cash is backed by theoretically gold or the government's ability to pay dats where did all this in say values come from because what's backing a bitcoin it has value because of two simple characterised. there is not an infinite supply of it is it to transfer value to transmission it's one million bitcoin. government because it isn't kind of like gold coins set with the keys of stealing tens of millions of dollars worth of bitcoins is not really save to keep your mess and say rising value is surely attract tax. bitcoin it is a really hard problem the best solutions involved specialist some opening up

a laptop and taking the internet as o.b. infiltrate from the outside but it is going to become usable these are really hard problems and everybody in this community knows that who ever solves that first is going to become really rich as an insanely rich and so. there is a lot of money being thrown out that's a good incentive to sic to the big business but you know what it's not just the hackers that have a problem there was a famous case of the wire at error for getting the pin code from his big con wallet and using hackers and it won a hypnotist to retrieve it. i know it sounds funny but isn't it a little harsh on people and how can so is it to lose access to something oh that can't happen to my wallet or bank account or it's absolutely can happen to your

bank account as if the people in cyprus when their bank accounts were when they bank savings were confiscated to bailout the government the government's bank ask any ask any people in say argentina or for that matter any person in south america how safe their bank holdings are they're not they're just now ok maybe it wasn't a good example but the whole band business is still really tied to whatever crisis is going in the country but you're saying the advantage of bitcoin is that it is not tied to anything that's going around it in the world right so how come it's so easy to access to it something that your own just like you know having a pin code just by forgetting a pin code. it is it is data it is data you can think of it as a file if you like if that file gets into somebody else's hands then you lose your money if the hard drive with the file on it gets destroyed or corrupted or

just dies then you lose your money which is why this problem is so hard. which is also why a lot of people are working on it but bitcoin and the currencies are just in their infancy this problem is be going to get solved just like every single technical problem before it that had so much promise but hadn't yet hit usability we were there was streaming video before for ten years before you tube it in twenty zero six we were there with blogging for ten years before wordpress and typepad hit we were there for about ten years with file sharing before napster it in one thousand nine hundred nine these things take about ten years before somebody hits the right usability key remember this is a technology that was devised in twenty nine it's possible that if you were looking at a possible mainstream breakthrough around twenty nineteen ten years from then. that the company founding the company who makes this breakthrough has not even been

founded yet. great for all the talk of being an internet freedom banner but can't isn't entirely independent for instance the web mention the sea where the us police has recently sees accounts of its clients and arrested one of its founders so pressure can be put on cryptocurrency camry absolute to heel they can be it can be it can be you cannot point a gun at a computer to get to make it give up its secrets but you can point a gun at the computers owner and make them very sorry for not giving up that file inside the computer but this. difference that might seem very small has profound effects because it means that governments can no longer just walk in and seize money to pay people's taxes people have to actually agree with paying

taxes and that in itself is going to be profound when governments realize this. rhetoric thank you very much for this interesting insight for this interview we're talking to rick seaney of c.e.o. of call in cash founder of the swedish pirate party and cryptocurrency evangelist is causing big coin in the future of finance that's it for this edition of.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to be culled from rich eight point six percent market sock thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade first circuit first shut and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one business show you can afford to miss the one and only. one i'll show same wrong. roll just don't call. me lol but yet to shape out these days to come to advocate and engagement because of the

trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. a french opposition leader reacts furiously to finding his name on a list of suspicious twitter accounts forcing him to declare he is not russian box . so at this hour the netherlands reels from the shock suicide of an empty immigration party politician who claimed she'd been raped by a muslim gang last you're also ahead. right here but i don't. believe his policies to me and one protesting delta near the israeli border see two killed and more than two hundred injured israel sees its troops were attacked with

explosives and protesters infiltrated its territory.
