To the Moon with Max & Stacy: Cypherpunks and Prometheus

in #cypherpunks6 years ago

In today's episode of To The Moon with Max and Stacy, we liken cypherpunks to Prometheus who stole fire and gave it to humanity. For this 'theft,' he was punished by Zeus to an eternity of having his liver eaten by an eagle. The cypherpunks have 'stolen' cryptography and military grade privacy and given it to humanity. As yet, their livers seem fine . . .

I've yet to be able to access DSound with my log in credentials from Steemit so not sure if there is a bug in their algo; will try to find a work around. Perhaps create another username?

Anyway, in the episode we cover some of your questions from yesterday and, in particular, we look at privacy coins and at Venezuela's launch of the Petro.

This episode is great! Thanks for the original Steemit content! I learned a lot about the way regulators are looking at trading coins as licensed activity. Hopefully that doesn't become a real issue. Thanks again for the post! Resteem

I wonder if the eagle had a nice Chianti with that.

Hey Max and Stacey you are never going to believe this:
I subscribe to the Daily Reckoning newsletter and this Friday it has a message from Jim Rickards headlined:
Am I doing a u-turn on cryptos?
On Tuesday Jim Rickards is going to publicly endorse a crypto that he claims is supported by one of the largest corporations in the world which is going to adopt this crypto currently priced $0.70.
I can't wait to hear which crypto Jim is going to endorse.
It would appear that even an old dog like Jim can learn new tricks!

I miss the Kaiser report on RT...

so go watch the last opus, Idk.

This episode is very interesting man !! today's episode of To The Moon with Max and Stacy is amazing, your work always exceptional and its worth for me :) keep sharing such stuff with the community on the daily basis :) Have a good day

Thank you for picking my Question!!! Privacy coins are where its at!!!! Too the Moon, Alice!

You need to sign in with your username and posting key

@nutela is 100% right have just tested and it works, you will need to use your private posting key! Which is not the same as password which is what caught me out at first.

Thanks! Now I see how I'm supposed to log on. Will try it later.

Good I'm looking forward to it Stacey would be nice to see you and Max move over to Dtube as well so we can have your videos preserved on the blockchain!

Good to hear! We are here for you as you guys were here for us. Thank you Stacey for everything you do and much patience with Max : )

thank you Stacy for this spin off "show", very much appreciated.

Also encode audio to mp3 or m4a, I'm not sure if you guys are Mac users, I am so I can advice on that.

I am so happy to see you, Stacy, on steemit, if this is indeed truly you?

I have watched KR for years now and though a bit later than I should have done, even got into crypto because of your advice.

I don't watch tv, too boring and too many adverts, but I like finding a new upload of your show on youtube and playing it whilst drawing in my studio, good stuff.

Great podcast. The outcome of things you covered today are really pivotal, especially the Swift and Venezuela issues. It will be an exciting global show to watch. Thanks for being lively and honest reporters.

Great show... the times they are a changin! Very interesting thoughts about taxes and a new paradigm to fund governments. I love to hear about the cypherpunks and interesting updates on Venenzuela's Petro ico... seems like they did not get off to a good start with their broken website like Healthcare.gov. Except they probably didn't spend 1 billion dollars building it.

You guys should start posting to d.tube and live streaming with https://www.dlive.io/#/ sometime!

nice one :-)

Great show! How often will this be on, so I can look for it?

Great complement to a great show !

"It is no dishonor for an enemy to suffer at his enemy's hands.
So let the pronged locks of lightning be launched at me,
Let the air be roused with thunder and the convulsion of wild winds,
Let hurricanes upheave by the roots the base of the earth,
Let the sea-waves' roaring savagery confound the courses of the heavenly stars;
Lett him lift me high and hurl me to black Tartarus
On ruthless floods of irresistible Doom: I am the one whom he cannot kill."

Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound
Very relevant metaphor to crypto and governments! Thanks for pointing that out.

I am an admirer of his program, I love his way of directing and debating on his "K report" program. This is economic culture for my ears ... (good culture).
I enjoy your good program through the RT channel. Great your sincerity ... you are barbarians - in a good sense of the word ...
Greetings from Venezuela ... "I'm taken care of".
