The Paradise Paradox

  Many cryptocurrency-based sites have popped up over the last 3 years, giving content creators a chance to make money from their art. Steemit gives bloggers a chance to earn some cash, and there are several sites based on the Steem platform - DTube for videos, DSound for podcasts, songs or other audio, Dmania for memes, Utopian for open-source programmers, and even Steem Monsters the trading card game. There's also Bit.Tube, which is a very professional site for video creators and viewers, offering the Tube token. Source Independent is a blockchain project by master shaman Hamilton Souther, with the aim of helping musicians get reimbursed for their creative efforts. Will cryptocurrency present a future full of art and creativity? Will artists have the courage to try something different?

Dr. Aiden Gregg is an associate professor at the psychology department of the University of Southampton, where he lectures and conducts research. Dr. Gregg has done a lot of thinking and research about psychopathy, sociopathy, anti-social personality disorder and related ideas. In this section of the interview, Dr. Gregg explains his perspective on psychopathy, how it can be like looking into an abyss, how psychopaths may lack something that ordinary humans have, the link to myths like vampires and reptilian aliens, the history of "moral insanity", the vagueness of the term "psychopathy", the distinction between signs and symptoms of a disease, definitions from Hervey Cleckley and Robert D. Hare, Jon Ronson's book on "The Psychopath Test", and psychopaths in society.

Joël Valenzuela is known for his work with the Dash Force public outreach program, delivering presentations, planning conferences and other events. Valenzuela writes for Dash Force News and also oversees the content creation and distribution. Joël is also known for being a man who lives solely off cryptocurrency - specifically Dash. In this interview we discuss Joël's background, growing up in Mexico and living through the peso collapse and revaluation of the early 90s, how that gave him perspective on sound money and helped him to understand Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, the connection with gold and silver, the current state and future of Dash, the technical foundations of the user-friendly Dash Evolution wallet and the challenges with its development, and how commercial and central bankers are reacting to cryptocurrency.

 Dash has outperformed the cryptocurrency market over the last month, rising from $79 to $120. For people not familiar with Dash, rises in price always seem unusual, but for those who follow it closely they know that good news is always coming out. After there was a 51% attack on ETC, there was a lot of uncertainty in many smaller crypto projects. Bitcoin and Ethereum are big enough to make such attacks impractical, but for the rest of the market, they may be exposed to this exploit. Dash is working on a solution in the form of Chainlocks, using the Dash masternodes to prevent doublespends, making the system more secure and give faster confirmations. The Dash Core Group has publically released the code for Evolution, the wallet which Dash supporters hope will make crypto more user friendly, looking more like PayPal or Venmo than Bitcoin, allowing merchants to integrate into the wallet and offer discounts, increasing their conversions. However, it seems the main reason that Dash has increased in price over the last month is something more related to short-term trading. Binance added two pairs - Dash/BNB and Dash/USDT. That means traders on Binance are now using those pairs to try to gain an advantage and make more money.

 A lot of people have been saying for years that the US dollar is going to collapse, and that will cause another global financial crisis. That's why you should hold onto your crypto for dear life. Is that really the case? USD is still the official currency of other countries such as Ecuador, East Timor, El Salvador and Zimbabwe. It's used for $100Bs of oil trade every year. Hundreds of millions of people pay their taxes in dollars, and despite the Federal Reserve and US Treasury printing trillions, it's still valuable. The IMF has plans to create a system of e-dollars, and as early as 2008, political figures were discussing a new currency system known as Bretton Woods 2 - so there's always a way out. Will the dollar collapse? Let's talk about it in this episode of Cryptonomics.

In the world of cryptocurrency, a lot of investors know this word: HODL. It started as a typo in a hastily typed post on bitcointalk, in which a fellow was telling everyone NOT to sell their bitcoin but hold on. Later it turned into a backronym, "hold on for dear life". Now, whenever the market goes down, people bring on the old memes telling people not to panic, not to sell and above all, HODL. I'm here to tell you why that's really stupid.

Sometimes we use words without thinking too much about their meaning, without putting the intention or the weight behind them which they might deserve. We say "You're welcome" without feeling that someone is welcome, or "good bye" without remembering the original meaning of the phrase - "God be with ye". Similarly, French people say "Adieu" and Spaniards say "Adiós" without thinking of them as blessings. However, in some parts of the world, people do mean what they say. In Thailand, the common greeting and farewell is "sawatdii", which is actually the Sanskirt word "svasti" meaning "goodness". Every hello is a blessing in Thai, and when you hear Thai people say it, you can feel the goodness. How can you use your words to bless people, to let them feel welcome in your presence, to increase their comfort? How much of a hello is your "Hello", and can you introduce yourself and reveal a little of your soul? Let's talk about it in this episode of The Paradise Paradox!

 Luis Fernando Mises is known as the founder of the Emancipated Human website and podcast, as a healer using plant medicine such as huachuma, and as a consultant on servant leadership - helping bosses learn to serve their employees and create a productive workplace. In a recent project management engagement with the Federal Reserve, Luis was surprised to learn that many people there are very interested in digital currency - especially Ripple. In this episode, Luis explains why he sold his bitcoin and ether, and moved his position mainly into the Ripple token XRP after speaking to some people at the Fed, attempting to put his sails into a head wind and hopefully increase his own financial freedom. Kurt counters by making the case for a small project called Halo Platform.

 The cryptocurrency market has been making steady lows since January 2018. After going down for so long, most people have forgotten about their crypto dreams of lambos and how this technology is the future, sold their now piddling stake and even taken down their shingle that said "Crypto Guru". But some intrepid warriors persist, looking at these low prices not as a market defeated, but as an opportunity. Can someone make money investing in a low market like this? And if so, which projects are worthwhile?

A few weeks ago, ex-patriate John Galton was tragically shot dead in Acapulco, and a friend of his was also injured with three bullet wounds. The question of his death is complex, and in many ways it's not ours to discuss. The other question which it raised for many is, how safe is Acapulco? Every year many libertarians go to Anarchapulco to explore freedom in its many forms. Are they in any danger? And how can they best protect themselves? In this episode, Kurt interviews Luis Fernando Mises to ask his opinion of Acapulco and Mexico, the four parts of Acapulco. Kurt explains some basic safety precautions that people should be aware of when in Latin America. We also discuss the practice of "shaktipat", when a devotee receives spiritual energy from a yoga guru, why Luis invests in Ripple, our love for Mexican food and the search for the perfect quesadilla. Join us on another beach-faring, sun-catching, freedom-seeking episode of... The Paradise Paradox!

 Bitcoin and cryptocurrency still carry a stigma, promoted by Big Media, that their only uses are funding terrorism and buying drugs on the Dark Net. After the last bubble crashed in 2018, many people are even under the impression that the entirety of the technology is a pyramid scheme or otherwise a fraud. In fact, there are many legal uses for crypto, some of which are already current, and many which will be revealed in coming years. Some examples include: a store of value, monetary sovereignty, tracking a supply chain, online or brick and mortar commerce, sending money to politically unpopular causes such as Wikileaks, proving copyright claims, and the sale of digital assets to represent shares in a company.  Purchase a Trezor to keep your crypto safe: https://trezor.cryptonomics.space Please upvote on Steemit: https://www.steemit.com/@cryptonomics1  Watch on BitTube: https://bit.tube/theparadiseparadox Website: https://cryptonomics.space  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cryptonomics.space  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheParadiseParadox
