On Today's Show:

Two hours with John McAffee!

We intended to talk with John for an hour then switch to Jonathan Rumion to talk about Bitcoin Classic but John McAfee was just too much fun.

This is a hilarious episode in parts and breaks were even funnier.

First hour: Vytautas Karalevicius breaks down the services provided by SpectroCoin, a full-service Bitcoin exchange and Bitcoin credit card service.

Second hour: We talk to Holland Vandennieuwenhof, one the film makers of the documentary about the Oklahoma City bombing, A Noble Lie.

We talk with Travis Boyd, creator of DaoWISP, about his vision of wireless ISPs and what role Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can play in that model. DAOWISP is short for Decentralized Autonomous Organization of Wireless ISPs. Travis has envisioned a network that automatically rewards participants with crypto for the amount of work contributed.

In the first half hour, we talk with Jonathan Rumion and Dustin Trammell about Bitcoin Classic.
Dustin is thought to be the second person to use the Bitcoin network, and he finishes out the last 30 minutes of the show solo, discussing an upcoming event in Austin called bodyhacking.

The Crypto Show goes on air during one of three Austin Bitcoin meetups, providing access to several interesting people in Bitcoin.

Later, Jeff Berwick joins the show, followed by Nathan Freeman, Adam Kokesh, and Anam Paiseanta, all of whom will be speaking or presenting at the upcoming Anarchapulco conference on February 17–22.

In this episode, in anticipation of Anarchapulco 2016 coming up next month, we revisit a show from the 2015 conference, where we were privileged to have Mark Edge guest host.

• Roger Ver gave a rundown of the conference.
• Then Jose Rodriguez, who is currently with Bitso but was with Unisend at that time, broke down all of the opportunities for Bitcoin in Mexico and Latin America.
• Finally, Rob Hustle talked about his video "Call the Cops" and we played two of his songs.

First Hour:

Tuur Demeester joins the show to talk economics, Bitcoin, the Mike Hearn drama, and proposed fixes.

Second Hour:

Brian Deery, "chief scientologist" at Factom, gives his take on the same subjects.

First Hour:

We talk with Evan Duffield about Dash Evolution, the Dash budget proposal, master nodes, X-11, and the new interface with Lamassu Bitcoin ATMs.

Second Hour:

We are somehow thrown into a debate with Bart Simpson (doh) about the validity of Bitcoin. It's like playing cards with your brother's kids. (That's a Lampoon Vacation reference.) Bart makes buzzword attacks on Bitcoin. The cartoon Bart and this Bart have the overuse of buzzwords very much in common.

Zasha, a local bitcoiner with a more rational skepticism, brings sanity to the conversation.

In the first forty minutes, we discuss Bitcoin with two local bitcoiners, Jered Reyes and Chris Guida.

Then Doug Casey joins us for the remainder of the show to talk gold, markets, and expatriation.

First Hour

We talk with Joshua Scigala of Vaultoro about how "the bitcoin gold exchange" works and where it's going, as well as gold markets and the "Microsoft vacuum cleaner," their only product that doesn't suck.

Second Hour

Trace Mayer joins us to offer insight on wallet security and world markets.

Dimtry 'Rassah' Murashchik at Mycelium joins the show to talk about their Gear payment processor, the Card network, Entropy cold storage, and more. Plus a leak of upcoming technology that has not been shared yet. Rassah also shares interesting information on Ukrainian history.
