really the program with the latest lawrence hamster regularly crypto currencies by the us and its allies with bitcoin back over the $50000.00 mark governments and watchdog groups are taking notice and once again, issuing warnings about the growth, the size, and the rate of adoption of crypto currencies. in fact, its current size, bitcoin is total volume, now exceeds $900000000000.00. more than all, but a handful of companies with its success comes new warnings about crypto currencies and their likelihood to replace the us dollar in as little as just 5 years. so joining me now to break down the latest our food co host and crypto analysts, ben swan, and christine, kristy, let's start with you here. now regulators are scrutinizing the crypto industry like never before, and yet crypto just keeps growing. why is that? well, you don't expect a profitable industry to stop growing just because regulation is coming because the

thing is, capitalism. societies is that you keep on trying to out run the regulators grow faster than they can crack down. i mean, look at google, facebook, amazon, they've grown so big that really they don't have to answer to anyone because what our regular is going to do, shut them down. issue a couple find you really can't stop innovation and advancement just because the current market leaders want the status quo to remain unchanged. technology is all about disruption and google and facebook disrupted the ad industry. amazon completely changed retail and they all changed it by doing something completely out of the box and a space that is unregulated because unregulated areas of the market are the only places with any opportunities left. because regulation killed opportunity costs competition and killed innovation. and now crypto is doing the same, there in a race against the industry to mature and strengthen before the regulars can truly crack down on it. and really the industry has been waiting for them to come down with a ruling for years now. the companies waited for the regulators to decide whether or not their idea, what the security or utility or derivative. they never got off the ground,

but the companies who launched 1st anyways and dealt with the consequences later on . those are the ones who are thriving now. so in essence, the lesson is it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission, because while you wait, others will continue passing you by. and as we've seen, curb, their currencies have continued to grow. and all of those regulators and officials who have talked about them have given them even more attention and air time along with it. now been an interesting story here. a pull of mostly banking executive found that most think bitcoin and other digital assets could replace the yacht currency like the u. s. dollar within the next 5 to 10 years, a shift described as seismic. are you surprised by that at all? yeah, i'm not really surprised by it. i think 5 to 10 years, it's highly unlikely if we're going to be honest about it because i mean, how is that going to take place in terms of the us currency? probably not. but in reality, what we have to look at is, is it likely that we're going to see big coin become the new reserve currency. and

i think there's a much more likely scenario for that. reserve currencies or a different kind of animal of what we're talking about here. what we're really talking about when we discuss this is, is it possible that bitcoin and the theory and some of these other crypto currencies will ultimately be how the government's a transact with each other instead of going to the us dollar instead of buying oil . and that oil being based in us dollars, would it be based in some kind of a digital currency or crypto? correct. that is a much more likely, much more realistic scenario to take place. been displacing the us dollar in terms of usage inside the united states. but i do believe that i believe that within 10 years, is it possible that big point or some other crypto currency will become the world's reserve currency. so that, you know, exchanges between countries are not made in us dollars, but instead are made in big coin. i think that's highly possible and even extremely

likely. yeah. and it could even be the case of more and more countries just getting on board. and those bankers could be trying to raise awareness saying, hey, kate, bitcoin seriously, even if their timeline isn't quite right now. christie, another story here, we're seeing that tag for identifying bitcoin theory and other crypto assets will be launched in september. so what exactly are these digital token identifiers and how do they work? well, these are actually going to be quite similar to the iso based identifiers are currently used for reporting securities and derivatives in the industry are ready. so they still very little detail about how that will actually be implemented and how the technology will actually work in the crypt market. but the idea is the same in which currently exist and securities. essentially they're saying that right now, it's hard to compare the acid across exchanges. you have the same issue currently in equities where you have say, names like taiwan semiconductors that is listed here in america as p s. m ticker. but in hong kong, it listed as 2330, or the healthcare company. santo fi in america is listed as ticker s s y. but in

france, it's listed on the cat as, as a n. so same thing, encrypt stellar, is it listed as excel m r s t r. so there's a form called the digital token identifier, foundation comprising of 20 members who've met to discuss, to discuss this global dpi standard. so the objective is to identify crypto acid trays to improve transparency and efficacy. and it's expected that this kind of standardization could help investors that operate at scale to process crypto acid transactions without having to significantly rework their existing systems and process. which again defeats the point of crypto because what's the point when you're going to store it all in a custodian and a middleman to hold onto it anyways. but in any case, given the time needed for the d p, i to be embedded in the market. the end of 2023 would probably be the earliest practical date for introducing some and some sort of mandatory reporting. okay, interesting. so it's just starting out at the moment. now ben, we know that crypto is a global market, but when it comes to regulation,

the u. s. europe and china, of all taken different approaches to the ways in which they look at regulation. now are you, do you think that we're likely to see a global standard of regulation moving forward? yeah, i do. i think that we're going to see some kind of global standard. but, you know, i want to go back to what christie was saying in the beginning, which is that ultimately we're in a position right now. where if you are a crypto enthusiast, or if you're creating something on the block chain right now, sitting around and waiting for the block chain to, to be regulated by governments. before we decide to move forward, you lose. the bottom line is a crypto currencies and the crypto space is one of the last spaces really in the entire world where true capitalism still exists. it exist on such a, an intrinsic level within the crypto world. and if you, if you move away from that, if you ignore the fact that there is, are real opportunities here. but also the real challenge is

a figuring out. and instead you just being into, well, what does ultimately going to be the decision of governments, either collectively or individually. and if you wait on that, then you don't even deserve to be in that space. you should get out of the space and stay away from it. is why people like mark sucker burke's ultimately failed in his endeavor to try to move into the libra association. remember that? and he was going to become the new faith of crypto and, and it failed miserably. and the reason that failed is because mark zuckerberg was literally waiting for the rest of the world, governments of the world to line up to create rules that he could been dominate and control. and when that wasn't working out the way he wanted to do, he basically abandoned the space and good get those people out of it. but that ultimately yes, there will be more regulation in the space and there will probably be some level of global regulation. but at the same time now is the moment in the space and the change from for all this space before the regulator step into the investments on

and christy, i thank you both for your time and insight. oil prices extended gains for a 3rd session on wednesday. the latest data from the u. s. government shows fuel demand at its highest point since the start of the pandemic. this week brent crude and west tactics west texas intermediate benchmark have seen gains of 9 percent. mark, making up for a 7 day losing streak, but with fears of the delta variant hurting demands subsiding for now. and mexico confirming its output will rebound following a massive fire that impacted 40 percent of the country supply. the biggest question becomes, how long will this rally last journey? me now to go further in depth on this is david mac of any ceo of mckelvey, the financial group. david, it's great. have you back on the show today. i want to start with this rally on oil prices that we're seeing this week. what's fueling demand here in the u. s. to the point where it's finally back to where it was at the beginning of the pandemic.

improve demand here in the u. s. is still. ready recovery and reopening oriented, and hopefully that stays the case. some really critical things happen last week that i do want to mention very quickly. last week was really the most volatile. we've seen oil and some time down 10 percent. lots of dots to connect there. we don't unwind in a variety of equity and debt segments with in china. and there's $22.00 ideas that you've got to grab here, a 12 trillion dollar debt market showing weakness has serious implications. and we began to see that across multiple segments. no doubt that a continued market route would have pressured chinese investor, the chinese economy and therefore. ready we saw commodities come under significant pressure. we've done the all commodities, but obviously oil was, was there to, gold was the one stand out. it actually was not under pressure at all. even this week, as oil prices of recovered high yield indices in china, still above 12 percent. the bottom line is that financial markets had a capitalist last week for a major market, not them. and we got to see basing act,

and they acted quickly. so look at what happened with. ready warren, while we're on the asset management company, they came in and recapitalized last week, and lo and behold, their lives, peace and home. as we came into this, this week, they sent a message. they sent a message that the asset management companies are too significant, too big to fail. every brand on the other hand is still circling the drain. 41 percent yields on their debt. i mean, we're talking about the company that is near bankruptcy and dissolution. so it's no good, no coincidence that everything sold off last week and everything is rallying this week. and i think china is really the key there. while i'm glad you bring up china, because whenever we talk about fear is related to the delta vary and it seems to have a lot to do with china and about any lockdown measures they would pursue. so are we now at a point where it seems like those fears are easing specifically when it comes to a rising coven cases going on around the world, in terms of the world,

possibly shutting down. and how cautious is the oil market right now when it comes to a threat of cobra? cases fighting in the months to come and possibly hurting demand? yeah, the old markets have not moved much uncovered concerns in my opinion, but they could. so you could also see other asset classes that have been not so sensitive to to cobra shutdowns like the u. s. equity markets, they are behaving as if cov. ready it is in the rear view mirror, and frankly, regardless of use uncovered the virus. there is a political risk which covered where policies, height and political risk because policies can be implemented that all of a sudden turn and otherwise rosy, picture, economic picture, domestic or international, into something that is very unfavorable. so there's heightened political risk in the markets and oils included that. i don't think that's priced in. i'm commodities bullish, but there have been in will be some air pockets. and i think the downside risk for oil is the policy reactions. so actually the risk is still very much there and,

and i think it's probably partly because we're in this political contentious environment. right now, we have cases on the rise, we have hospitalizations again on the rise of new zealand which has shut down. we've got a strain which has partially shut down, canada never really reopened several other asian country in the philippines and need to come to mind are also looking at it shut down again. the real issue with lot downs comes with the vaccinated. realize that the efficacy of the shots where off after 4 to 6 months, this is what we're finding with the wave in israel, where it's primarily people who have already been actually there can be downloaded . and that raises again the policy issues. and i think that's your risk in the market, commodities, and also equities. i got about 30 seconds left here, but speaking of government action, i know that we've got the federal reserve jackson hole summit coming up. what are you expecting from that? and do you think that markets will really react to it will tells not by nature guy,

the only instance of that ever being different was when we had 2019 the 3 insurance rate cuts that surprised me, its rise the markets. and this time around, i think we've got jobs that look good. we've got the economic growth, which is respectable and surprise would come from aggressively moving forward the timeframe for tapering. that 120000000000. that still being purchased 40000000000 mortgage backed securities. 80000000000, treasury's we have a system that's very dependent on liquidity and fusion today, and i think if you change that very quickly, that could be your express saving, mckelvey macaroni financial. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you very much. the president biden is taking on cybersecurity with a special meeting at the white house on wednesday. his guest list included a handful of ceo's who have made multiple appearances, testifying before congress on the state of their growing power in the us. but that

power and influence was welcomed, as were the chief executives from companies and included amazon, apple, google, microsoft, j, p. morgan chase, bank of america, travelers, p g and girls who code the topic of the day with the importance of maintaining cybersecurity in the face of increasing cyber attack. with reports noting that the goal of the white house was to address the root causes of the attacks to look at repairing critical infrastructure aimed at stopping future attacks and to work toward filling the more than half a 1000000 cybersecurity job openings in the us. the time now for a quick break, only come back vice president harris has some harsh words for china during her time in vietnam, but beijing was quick to fire back questioning washington credibility, we'll discuss it all next. and as we go to break sure the numbers that the close. 1 the

me, i americans love fine. ah, this was fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large, understood the bargain. you get a home and then you will rebel, right, as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial back and think about the longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for

the the families that mark i took marking your function, you would like to get some idea of what is your number? how do you all done? i got, i've got that limit and i wanted them off, you're gonna be skills that you don't know what the less about

me and the welcome. 1 back tensions between the us and china continue. i do the chip or chat accusations between the world's 2 largest economy. vice president harris made her latest stop in vietnam on her south east asian tour, where she called for a movement to put pressure on beijing to quote challenges bowling and excessive maritime claims in the south trying to see and responses spoke. first in for china's foreign ministry, argued the u. s. isn't even a part of the un convention is referencing, and that it's track record speaks for itself. a key to the u. s. has to join the united nations convention on the law of the session so far,

but claims to uphold the convention. maybe us has recklessly intervened militarily in afghanistan, iraq and syria, but claims to be pending the interests for the small countries. so i think it would be much more credible if it said that it was offending the you every legend label and its own interests. meanwhile, china delivered a shipment of 200000 vaccines to vietnam the day before harris arrived. however, the vice president noted that the u. s. a has committed even more this week as it legs behind china and russia in the global supply of vaccines. today, i am pleased to announce that 1000000 more. 1000000 more doses are on the way to vietnam, as we speak and meet at this very moment. this brings the total number of doses we've donated to vietnam to 6000000. we have also pledged $500000.00 to us in covered 1900 response fund to support the purchase of more vaccines. the united

states remains a strong supporter of us in centrality, including inter regional health security. okay. joining me now to discuss it, professor richard wolf, host of economic update, and author of the sickness is the system. now, professor, what do you make of this tour? harris is on right now. it seems to be all about getting china neighbors to cozy up to be us instead. but is there more to it than that? no, and you know, to be honest, this is a kind of sad spectacle, the vice president of the united states doing kind of advertising p r. how many 1000000 doses everyone in the world who pays attention knows that china is one of the leading providers of vaccine around the world where head of the

united states. and that's been true for a year, or at least as long as the vaccines have been available. and the go to one little country vietnam and to out do them in the number you are giving them. now. i mean dishes that kind of, of, of games that advertisers play and to suggest the chinese are bullies. i'm sure in many ways they are, but this is a vice president who's over there, who's contesting what's going on in the ocean right next door to them? they're not over here trying to didn't do anything to us in the, in afghanistan. we did that all to ourselves and the effort to whitewash all of this is kind of sad to watch. yeah. really isn't the timing of it is also incredibly notable because at the same time as we heard there from china is foreign ministry. beijing is using afghanistan as an example to countries that become true

reliant on the us. now when it comes to talk of washington, credibility does trying to have a point there? absolutely. i mean, the chinese say privately and in some public venues that they don't have any troops invading anywhere and they haven't done it for decades. the united states, by contrast, is invading everywhere as 750 bases around the country is that was a war in afghanistan, iraq, syria. i mean, this is easy, low hanging fruit for the chinese to point the finger in a way that the united states cannot do. and that's not a smart game to be playing. whether it is in a sense, already racked up against you. it's almost as though the united states is lacking in the imagination of how to try to make a case and ends up making a very weak case. and that's not a good image. you want to project. yeah,

it's like their only focus on one country at a time, forgetting everything else is going on in the world. now on the topic of providing vaccines, the u. s. has been criticized for not doing enough to help other countries, especially when compared to china and russia. so why is the u. s. and specifically harris now making this promise of supplies and funding to vaccine to vietnam rather this week? well, i think they've been stung by the criticism. even more important though, as a criticism, i think, is the claim that here in the united states, hundreds of millions. so that way, more than we're talking about with vietnam, hundreds of millions of doses are being stored are being kept back from the market even as plans are beginning to be wrapped up for the booster shots, the 3rd and potentially the 4th shot. so the criticism around the world has been that the united states is keeping for itself the overwhelming bulk of

life saving help and not sharing it with the rest of the world. the chinese and the russians are, by contrast, at least doing less of that kind of hoarding. and that is what vice president harris is trying to deal with. but it's talking about 2 or $3000000.00 for vietnam and, and talking about contributing $500000.00, which is a little bit like you and me reaching into our pocket and offering 6 or $0.07. this again is bizarre as a form of foreign policy. all right, i've got about 30 seconds left, but i do want to ask you about what's going on and get us down. we've seen that billions of dollars in aid from the world bank, the ins and of course the united states have all come to a halt. so what kind of a message does that free send and how is it likely to impact the civilians in this country after 20 years of war?

well, it's going to do 2 things. number one, it's going to make the united states look even worse than it has been looked at by that country as something of the country that bombed them for 20 years. one of the poor countries on earth bombed by the richest country on earth for 20 years. that be bad enough. now you're going to start them out. you're not going to help them in any way, even though you help other countries. this is only going to do one thing, make them turn with gratitude to whoever does help them. and there are the chinese, the russians, many in europe and around the world who will step in. this is the united states, shooting itself in the foot. that it is great inside. as always, professor richard will thank you for your time. thank you. and finally, nearly 3 quarters of a century since his death al capone is storming back into the headlines as part of his legacy are being put up for auction. several of the infamous chicago gangsters,

personal items are heading to the bidding table as whether all auction house has lunch at the state of alco collection. dubbed a century of notoriety, forbidding or items like capone's personal hand gotten a quote, $45.00 pistol that has been in the sole possession of the officers family since his death, which is set to start auction at 50 $1000.00. other items like hand written letters, photographs and diamond encrusted jewelry will also be up for grabs. according to the auction house, the entire lot is set to holland $700000.00 in total, but could very likely run higher. the bidding is set to launch in a live auction on october 8th, and i want to miss that one. that's it for this time. be sure to check out the portable tv app and we'll see you here next time with me. i

look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders, given it by human beings, accept where the shorter is a conflict with the 1st law. show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to straight truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect his own existence with the

ah, ah, let me, i moscow time in our headlines this morning. western countries was of the imminent risk of a terrorist attack and cobble airport until the national to stay away from the side . as thousands are still amassing that desperate to get out. before the looming evacuation deadline costs. president biden's approval ratings hit a new low than the veteran voice there and get and how the.
