Crypto Voices: Episode 83 Show support appreciated: 35iDYDYqRdN2x6KGcpdV2W1Hy3AjGje9oL Matthew & Fernando interview Trace Mayer, longtime Bitcoin advocate and founder of the public service initiative Proof of Keys. The 2nd annual celebration is coming up on 3 January 2020. Trace covers from A to Z on what Proof of Keys is all about, how to partake in the initiative, best practices, and his personal recommendations in climbing the mountaintop to monetary sovereignty. It's a fantastic initiative than anyone in the world can participate in, with just a little bit of hardware, knowhow, and personal responsibility. We also spend a good bulk of the interview comparing bitcoin and gold. The parallels between the ancient monetary metal and the future digital medium of sound money are fascinating. We talk about gold's monetary history, particularly during World War II, the well known gold price suppression schemes, paper gold leveraged by bullion banks and central banks, how much gold reserves "officially" compare with their monetary base, and all the positive contrasts and future possibilities bitcoin offers compared with gold's mechanics. The "paper gold" we talked about is well referenced here: https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/bullionstar/what-sets-the-gold-price-is-it-the-paper-market-or-physical-market/ Listen on to learn more, and how to signal and participate in Proof of Keys Links for more info: https://twitter.com/tracemayer https://www.proofofkeys.com https://www.bitcoin.kn Show Sponsor: cryptovoices.com/tradesmithoffer Hosts: Matthew Mežinskis, Fernando Ulrich Music: New Friend Music newfriendmusic.com/ Site: cryptovoices.com/ Podcast & Information Cryptoeconomics & Liberty Thanks for listening!
