Trump’s industry-friendly interior secretary has pivoted to blockchain

"There is some suspicion that blockchain does not really work," Zinke admits.

TIMOTHY B. LEE - 1/30/2019, 1:21 PM


The last two years pursuing an industry-friendly agenda as secretary of the interior. Then, last month, he announced his resignation under pressure from the White House. Now Zinke is joining the blockchain industry.

"There is some suspicion that blockchain does not really work," Zinke said in an interview with the Swiss news site swissinfo.ch. "We think it does and we want to showcase the utility and flexibility of the model."

Zinke has signed on with Artillery One, a new investment firm set up in 2017 by Wall Street financier Daniel Cannon. It's not clear what kind of investments the firm is making, but the company is reportedly working on a project in Kosovo.

Kosovo "is a good example of an emerging economy where blockchain, financial instruments and cyber security can combine to have a meaningful impact," Zinke said. "Proving the worth of the technology in the controlled environment of a small country is enormously important."

"I don’t think [blockchain] will replace nations, but it will create enormous opportunity for those who don’t have access to capital or accountability in emerging economies," Zinke added. "I feel confident it will lift up the underserved."

Blockchain boosters have long pointed to developing countries with dysfunctional financial systems as possible markets for blockchain technologies. But the idea has been slow to gain traction. Countries like Venezuela do seem to see rising bitcoin usage in times of crisis, but even in those countries bitcoin and other blockchain networks seem to account for a trivial share of economic activity.

Zinke doesn't see blockchain technologies limited to developing countries, however. He described the opportunities for using blockchain as "wide open." Another possible application he mentioned is "tracing cobalt through blockchain to make sure production isn’t being done using child labor." He also suggested that a similar model could work for tracking prescription drugs.

What value does a politician bring to a blockchain investing firm? "I bring leadership experience from being Secretary of the Interior at a 70,000-person organization, from Congress and from commanding a Navy SEAL team," Zinke said. He downplayed the significance of his political connections, arguing that the firm was already well-connected in Washington before he joined.

so i get an email at work about a random piece of software getting updated as a heads up incase someone asks about it and oh boy the release notes for this was :eyepoop:

quote:

Release Notes for EVP 8.3:
With the release of EVP Office 8.3, EstateVal and the other applications in the industry's leading estate-tax valuation suite now have the ability to price over a dozen cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies were invented in 2010 with the released of Bitcoin, and since then, it and many others (including Litecoin and Ethereum and Monero) have gained international prominence. Through the technology and economics of "crypto" can be complicated, EstateVal makes actually valuing them for estate-tax purposes trivial.
When you have a portfolio that contains one of the crypto-coins that EstateVal prices, simply enter its ticker preceded by a hash symbol. For example, Bitcoin's ticker is "BTC," so you would enter #BTC into EstateVal's Identifier field. Then, you would enter the number of coins into the Shares field.
And that's it! When you run the evaluation, EstateVal will convert the number of "shares" of each cryptocurrency into the London 4:00pm spot-rate for the US dollar for the date of the evaluation.
The cryptocurrencies that EVP Office prices are:
• Bitcoin (#BTC)
• Litecoin (#LTC)
• Ethereum (#ETH)
• Ethereum Classic (#ETC)
• Zcash (#ZEC)
• Monero (#XMR)
• XRP (#XRP)
• Dash (#DASH)
• EOS (#EOS)
• Bitcoin Cash (#BCH)
• Qtum (#QTUM)
• 0x (#ZRX)
• Stellar (#XLM)
EVP Office 8.3 also includes the ability to merge portfolios, including their evaluation data; better handling of cut-and-pasting data from Excel into the GiftVal and CostBasis grid; more warnings of mis-entered data; and the addition of the National Day of Mourning for President George H. W. Bush as a market holiday

We live in surveillance states where the only escape is to use digital currencies. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 12 hours ago by b0nusmemeredditor for 3 months

It's a Tuesday and you're doing business online. You agree to send payment for services to an online platform or independent contractor because its 2018 and that's how business is these days. A transaction is made between two consenting entities. The transaction takes between 30 minutes and 7 days, and may not arrive at all. The system is down for maintenance. The transaction has been declined or cancelled. Business is stopped by a middle entity claiming they are watching out for your best interests. Payment Locked. Support ticket pending. It's Friday afternoon and work is moving slower than it should be. Staffing is reduced for the project period because payments are being analyzed by big brother.

What are you supposed to do?
