We have a very special podcast today. Todays guest is Andrew Kiguel who is the CEO of Hut 8 mining... The Largest Publicly traded Bitcoin mining company in the world.
With the price of Crypto as low as it is... many pundits have posited the question... Will high mining costs make Bitcoin worthless? What better person to ask then Andrew Kiguel!
As Crypto Aficionado's, not a lot gets by us and we can honestly say even we learned quite a bit from this interview.
If you ever wanted to know what bitcoin mining is or wanted to increase your knowledge of the space... then this is an interview you will not want to miss.

EP 32 Who could've predicted this financial downturn? Lost file from May 2018
Before you know where we’re going you have to know where we’ve been and since I knew where we’ve been, I knew what the future more than likely had in store.
As you listen to this episode you’ll notice that it sounds pretty prophetic. This was initially a client only production and I didn’t have the time to find the video file that went with the MP3 but nonetheless it is still very informative and will still give you a good indication of whats to come.
No video accompanying this file.

Welcome everyone to a very special episode of the liberty advisor podcast. Today happens to be the 10 year anniversary of the bitcoin genesis block and we have the world exclusive interview with Lyn Ulbircht whose son Ross love him or hate him has probably done more for adoption of bitcoin than anyone on the planet.
*****Teaser Ross calls Lyn during filming!!!!
Lyn Ulbricht is a political activist and advocate for individual freedom, privacy and criminal justice reform. She is also the mother of Ross Ulbricht, who is serving double life without parole for all non-violent charges associated with his role in the Silk Road website, which was arguably the first proof of concept of Bitcoin.
Having seen her only son caged for life after a trial riddled with proven corruption, Lyn is dedicated to fighting not only for Ross’ freedom, but for the thousands who have been victimized by the flawed U.S. criminal justice system and the drug war. She strives to direct awareness to the important precedents set with Ross’s high-profile case, issues that will impact freedom and privacy in the digital age.
Lyn has spoken at numerous events in several countries; appeared on many TV, radio and podcast shows— including Reason TV, CNN, HuffPost Live and Fox; and been interviewed by major and alternative media, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Buzzfeed, John Stossel and The Guardian. She is also prominently featured in the documentary Deep Web.
When not working to raise awareness and support, Lyn focuses on raising funds for legal fees and gaining signatures for Ross’s clemency petition through www.freeross.org.
At Freeross.org I’d highly encourage everyone to sign the petition and to watch Railroaded. The targeting and caging of Ross Ulbricht.

Hello everyone welcome to another crypto wealth edition of the liberty advisor podcast
We’ve got a great show lined up today talking about.
Today we are talking about BAKKT Global network that is designed to enable you to buy store sell and spend digital assets and this has had a pretty sustained buzz within the crypto community.
Today we are joined by Caliph Herald AKA Crypto Caliph and editor of the blockchain authority. Org
What is Bakkt?
Introducing Bakkt:
Bringing Trust and Utility to Digital Assets
Bakkt is building an open, seamless global network to enable you to buy, sell, store and spend digital assets simply, safely and efficiently.
Backed by Intercontinental Exchange’s proven financial market infrastructure and technology, Bakkt’s secure global platform will connect investors, merchants and consumers, making it easier, faster and more cost-effective to access, trade and use digital assets. Bakkt’s open-source, neutral platform will be designed to meet applicable regulatory requirements, and to support innovation around digital assets and blockchain applications.
About Bakkt
Bakkt is designed to enable consumers and institutions to seamlessly buy, sell, store and spend digital assets. Formed with the purpose of bringing trust, efficiency and commerce to digital assets, Bakkt seeks to develop open technology to connect existing market and merchant infrastructure to the blockchain.
Efficient
Buy, sell, store and spend digital assets within an efficient global ecosystem.
Seamless
An integrated global platform for trading, warehousing and commerce.
Secure
Leveraging Intercontinental Exchange’s market infrastructure, Bakkt is designed to bring regulated trading, clearing and warehousing.
Coming Soon
ICE Futures U.S. and ICE Clear U.S. plans to launch its first physically delivered bitcoin futures and warehouse in coordination with Bakkt, subject to regulatory review and approval. This will enable access for institutional investors via regulated market infrastructure.
Bakkt will announce further milestones in the near future.
Bakkt’s Custody Solution for BTC Will Need an Exemption from the CFTC
The report by Coinbase went on to explain that the CFTC might have to give an exemption to ICE for their custody solution of Bitcoin.
[The] CFTC must grant an exemption for Bakkt’s plan to custody bitcoin on behalf of its clients in its own “warehouse,” according to sources familiar with regulatory discussions of the plan. CFTC regulations normally require that customer funds be held by a bank, trust company or futures commission merchant (FCM).
necessary approvals might not be fast enough for the anticipated January 24th launch date of Bakkt. Initially, Bakkt was meant to go live on the 12th of December but had to be pushed to the January date.
The Delay Might Just Be For a Few Days
However, according to sources privy of the matter, this does not mean the CFTC will not green-light Bakkt. What it means is that the launch of the new market might be pushed a few days forward due to the following two reasons.
- Bakkts custody solution for Bitcoin is a first for the CFTC
- Current US Government shutdown due to funding for the US-Mexico border wall

Aside from Ron Paul... no one had as big an impact on launching the Ron Paul Revolution as much as Ernest Hancock.
Ernie as he is affectionately known created the R3volution logo and also hosted the first Ron Paul meetup group in America.
Ernest was also one of the very first radio show hosts to talk about Bitcoin and Crypto Currencies.
The bio could keep going and going but bottom line is that Ernest basically knows everyone surrounding the Liberty movement and if you haven't heard of him before you won't want to miss this.
On this episode we get into the decentralization of everything as well as many more inside baseball stories.

Today we are joined by economic analyst Author Researcher John Sneisen
You can find John’s work on World Alternative Media where Josh Sigurdson and John have really built
Quite the impressive following. They’ve really been growing like crazy which is great to see but they are not overnight successes. Josh and John have been pumping out content for years and its actually amazing to see the amount of content you guys put out especially since Josh is editing the videos himself.
One of the reasons I wanted to bring John on the program is because he’s one of the few economic analysts that A knows what s going on and B didn’t capitulate in the face of everyone telling us we were in the greatest economy in the history of the world.
I also want to point out that John is coming to us from Canada today and really this is not just an American economic situation that is unfolding its really a global situation that’s going on.
Probably a good place to start might be to actually talk about what’s going on in Canada as like most ignorant Americans I don’t pay a ton of attention to Canada but it does seem that reliance on oil and foreign real estate buyers could pose a problem.
To me it seems that the Vancouver real estate market can’t keep going up at the same rate its been going up and two years ago I was having a discussion with a buddy of mine and I told him I thought shorting Canadian housing and DB could be catalysts but its not just Canada its also Australia and I know you’ve done some reporting on that as well.
You won't want to miss John's inaugural appearance on the show
Topics of Discussion:
Economic Situation with Canada and Australia
US Bond Market
Federal Reserve
2020 Election / Trump walking into a trap
Us Economic Outlook

Trace Mayor “proof of keys” https://globalcryptoenthusiast.com/proof-of-keys-wants-you-to-get-your-bitcoin-off-exchanges-on-january-3/*-9+
Eric Voorhees being investigated :
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, “people familiar with the probe” are saying that Salt was subpoenaed by SEC in February seeking information on its $50 million initial coin offering (ICO) held in late 2017.
Apparently under investigation is whether Salt’s crypto fundraising effort was in fact a securities offering that should have been registered with the regulator, the WSJ says, as well as how tokens were distributed to “insiders” and how the sale proceeds were spent.
Erik Voorhees was charged by the SEC in 2014 for securities violations that ultimately saw him banned from making a Bitcoin security offering for the following five years. He was also fined $50,000.
That case arose from the SEC’s view that Voorhees had publicly offered securities without registering with the federal government related to the solicitation of shares in SatoshiDICE and FeedZeBirds between 2012 and 2013.

In the past, at the small business committee on Bitcoin, Mulvaney shared,
“Just wrapped up a Small Business Committee hearing on Bitcoin. I know it isn’t a mainstream issue yet — and may not become one — but it is extraordinarily interesting and something that could eventually influence the dollar and our monetary policy. In fact, one of the witnesses drew favorable comparisons between Bitcoin and Milton Friedman.”

The intersection of Crypto Currencies and taxes is a very tricky subject.
In this podcast we address the difference between short term gains and long term gains and how some tax payers may even be in a 0% bracket without even realizing it.
Ever wonder how Airdrops are taxed? Or what about forks? What happens when you swap a main net coin for a token. i.e Ethereum for an ERC-20 token.
How is mining treated and when is the tax applied? Is the tax applied when you receive the coins or is it applied when you sell the coins?
What about wash sale rules? Are you allowed to claim a loss and immediately buy your bitcoin back? How does the IRS view crypto?
All of these subjects and more are discussed and make sure to stick around for our ad at the end which goes over important reasons to consider a crypto IRA?
Rough outline below:
Today we are joined by Beth logan who is an enrolled agent with kozlog tax advisers. Beth is one of the few tax professionals who has an understanding of crypto and more importantly what that means for you and your taxes. The government has sure made it difficult for people to understand what the heck is going on. IRS says bitcoin is property but what does that mean for others…. CFTC says it’s a commodity and the SEC says that ICO’s are more than likely securities but bitcoin and Ethereum aren’t securities. Bottom lines it’s a mess. A lot of people are confused and that’s where Beth can help us out.
I think the first thing people want to know is what is an enrolled agent and maybe what the difference between an EA and a CPA we’ve all heard of Certified public accountants but most people probably have no idea what an EA is? So can you help us out a little and break down the distinction.
Beth Logan: taxes@kozlog.com
Some of the questions we answered:
- What are some important distinctions crypto investors need to make as it pertains to how their gains are treated.
- Lets say I got started early and I was mining with my laptop… How would that be treated?
- What about the person who bought a few bitcoin off coinbase several years ago and last year they exchanged some of it for another crypto?
- Would this be treated as a like kind exchange even if it happened before 2018 in your opinion.
- We’ve seen some examples where someone turned $5000 of bitcoin into $500,00 then they exchanged the 500k into another crypto that lost 90%.... which is most of them. Let’s say they owed 100k in taxes and now they don’t even have $100k… What should someone in this case do? And this is a very real possibility for a lot of people
- Are gains treated differently if I’m a day trader vs a long term HODLER?
- Running into the end of year. What should people be mindful of as they are doing their taxes. Any last second things they need to be aware of?
- Segway into Wash sale rules and property vs security. Could someone sell bitcoin today who bought it at $20k. Take the loss and immediately buy back. Could they buy back same day? Wait 30 days? Get into 3k max loss but can offset future gains
- Long term vs short term gains
- Anything else
- What about crypto businesses or ICO’s that raised maybe $25 million in Ethereum and maybe now its only worth $2.5 Million. If they pay their employees in Eth are the employee’s basis the price of ether when it was transferred? Can the company write any of these losses off?
- Probably something this company would want to talk with you or someone like you one on one as a lots going on.
- Question from the audience: What about people who mainnet coins to tokens? Someone exchanges ETH for an ERC 20 token like Binance coin?
- good crypto tax trackers recommended,
- Anything I didn’t touch on that you think people should be aware of
-
Can you work with people around the country?
How people can reach you - ok to link in show notes?
-How you charge -Hourly - do you want to say how much?

Hello everyone its Tim Picciott CFP, it is Dec 13th and you are in for another Crypto Wealth Edition of the liberty advisor podcast. Todays guest is Xander McKean of Millennial TV where you can find him on youtube, twitter facebook and all the other heavily censored platforms under the millennial tv brand.
Xander is very knoweldgable about the crypto markets, he’s not bad on the eyes for all the ladies out there and in case that s not enough he was also a standout quarterback where he played in college. He then left the country to play professional football in Europe and that American football not soccer.
Welcome to the show. I’d like to start off and let you tell your story about how you got in here.
What is your goal?
What is your why?
Coingecko update:
-If you want to skip to the end story on the top 100 crypto this is the place to go.
- Not going to read all of them but here are some examples of more obscure coins you might not be famillar with. Check out the show notes CWE4 to find this article and while your there please subscribe.
- What will trigger the next bull run.
2.1-For those waiting on an ETF: https://news.bitcoin.com/sec-chair-bitcoin-etf-approval/
Jay Clayton- What investors expect is that trading in the commodity that underlies that ETF makes sense and is free from the risk of manipulation … It’s an issue that needs to be addressed before I would be comfortable.
“We’ve seen some thefts around digital assets that make you scratch your head … We care that the assets underlying that ETF have good custody and that they’re not going to disappear.”
Do you think this is a big deal to have an ETF?
Pro’s and cons

- https://www.ccn.com/how-did-twitter-ceos-square-overtake-coinbase-as-1-bitcoin-buying-app/
2.4 Some say it will be real world applications and here is a story about statefarm testing out the blockchain
State farm is trying to determine whether a blockchain platform is a “viable product for insurance industry adoption,”
““It helps us automate a manual process securely and creates a permanent transaction record of each payment which can easily be verified for accuracy. It also has the potential to decrease the amount of time for consumers to receive their deductible reimbursement.”
“Some $11 billion in claims were transferred due to subrogation in 2017, a spokesperson for State Farm explained in an email, with $750 million dealing with private-passenger insurance claims.”
