Blockchain attorney Morvareed Salehpour takes us into the rabbit hole on the Uniform Regulation of Virtual Currency Businesses Act. Why is this important? After all, crypto is borderless! That is true, but U.S. businesses have to comply with federal and state laws – which can be a patchwork of different regulations, sometimes without much guidance as to how they should be applied.

In this episode we talk more about the sharing economy, and the fractionalization of assets – instead of producing so many consumer products, we can reduce our carbon footprint and create a new economy. We touch on terrorism, and some of the insecurities inherent in our technology. Pamela advises investing in yourself and being guided by your passions and curiosity. She tells a story about a young man who invested in her company at a critical moment She praises the “curiously faithful” and the “decentralized man”, and advises on the importance of a close, trusted community of friends and advisers. She talks about the importance of supporting other women. And it all goes a little bit wrong at the end of the episode.
“I’ll tell you a story, and I’m not going to cry about it…”

Pamela Norton chats with Kseniya Lifanova and Jill Carrigan. Borsetta started out as a blockchain-based platform to certify diamonds and fine jewelry, but has grown into so much more, including a project for the Department of Defense. We talk about Borsetta’s breakthrough invention of a microchip, as well as roadblocks she’s faced and how she;s overcoming them. She discusses their patent-pending process for securing the supply chain using a new, highly secure chip. (It’s so scifi that it self-destructs if tampered with.) And finally she talks about digital assets on the blockchain, and the types of assets (real estate, voting ID, jewelry, art, wine) that could be stored in a wallet or in cold storage.
“I believe the new war, the war of the future, is algorithm and data.”

Katrina Too from ScanTrust walked us through a smart packaging/blockchain implementation using Hyperledger Sawtooth to track coffee from the farm in South American to the coffee shop in Shanghai.
Katrina Too is head of marketing at ScanTrust, a smart packaging company. ScanTrust recently completed a project with Cambio Coffee, an ethical coffee trader. Cambio Coffee’s customers care about the product they’re buying, so in order to ensure integrity, they set out to track the coffee supply chain from the farms in South America to the point of sale in Shanghai. ScanTrust used their smart QR codes, along with Hyperledger Sawtooth, for supply chain tracking.
We discussed why a permissioned blockchain was right for this project, as well as some other reasons why the team chose Hyperledger. Katrina talks about the difference between crypto and blockchain, and underscores blockchain as infrastructure. We delve into a blockchain buzzword: fungibility.

We ask her to define a blockchain buzzword, and find out that it’s a word she doesn’t use anymore. [...]
In this episode of One Dozen Rabbits, Zayi Reyes and Ann Willmott chat with Eva Beylin about all things Ethereum, her economics research, and why she doesn’t regret rage-quitting her job in the financial sector.
Eva Beylin is currently contributing to the Ethereum Foundation, and conducting research on consumer payment behaviors. Early on, she used her business school training in economics to get a job in management consulting. Finding herself bored – and angry – she quit her job, and invested her energy in the study of blockchain, Ethereum in particular.
She has worked on a number of Ethereum-based projects including OmiseGo. As always we have more questions than answers! [...]

Zayi Reyes, “Measuring Intent And The Many Faces Of Ad Fraud “, BuzzFeed
