Tonight’s episode explores the ongoing saga of Danny’s road trip to cannabis-legal states to preach Bitcoin and Dash to marijuana dispensaries, growers, and others for the purposes of bringing the advantages of cryptocurrency to the industry and to bank the unbanked. He is also promoting Defense Distributed’s Ghost Gunner, which he will be demonstrating at a gun shop tomorrow. We also broach Stash’s intent to integrate Dash into the Stash Node Pro, and we briefly discuss the run-up in cryptocurrency prices and the moral and philosophical issues involved in the Ethereum split. In the final couple of segments, Daniel Krawicz, a.k.a., “Scrooge McAltcoin,” leads us in an interesting discussion about an unusual interpretation of the movie “The Matrix,” and of course it has to do with his favorite topic, cults.

We get his very informed and insightful opinions on all sorts of topics, such as the block-size issue, the current run-up in crypto prices, his view of altcoins, and the future of Bitcoin and the crypto space at large. We flow in and out of other topics as well, but the discussion is very interesting, enlightening, and surprisingly coherent for its spontaneity.

It looks as though we found the perfect way to close out our tribute to Cannabis month with none other than Lyn Ulbricht the mother of Ross Ulbricht the creator of the website “The Silk Road”. While Ross may have created this site, an Ebay for the Dark Market if you will. He how ever was never proven to have any involvement in this fake murder for hire plot as was maliciously alleged recently in some sensationalized hit piece called American Kingpin by someone who deserves no mention. Lyn and Cody Wilson elaborate on the fallacy of the aforementioned book. The last 30 minutes is very light-hearted and fun as we counsel Chris on his love life.
