Dave and Grahm are back after licking their wounds from their failed ICO, KrabCoin, to discuss the geopolitical implications of cryptocurrencies with ex-CIA economics and counter-terrorism analyst Yaya Fanusie. From Fanusie's perspective there are two clear narratives about terrorist financing with cryptocurrency; and neither of them are correct. ------ Resources: Yaya's Bio Rhythm of Wisdom Podcast Jihadists Upping Their Bitcoin Game Steven Stalinsky's Op-Ed ------ Distributed Dialogues is a BTC Media-produced podcast on The Let’s Talk Bitcoin Network.

Dave and Grahm have a new side hustle, Shiny Krabs™, a Delaware-based LLC that sells bedazzling kits made especially for pet hermit crabs. After immediate success convincing each other, they decide it's time to raise money for the biz. They have a securities lawyer on the show to get free unofficial legal advice on how to launch an ICO, and along the way they learn one or two things about crypto regulations, the SEC and how a securitized token offering might work. Stay tuned through the end for an exclusive Shiny Krabs lounge jam.  Marc Adesso is a securities lawyer, with a reputation of being one of the world’s top attorneys in the area of initial coin offerings as well as the budding cannabis industry. **Full Disclosure: None of this should be taken as legal or investing advice. And the Oggsford College study on the impact of social media on hermit crabs is not in fact real.** Distributed Dialogues is a BTC Media-produced podcast on The Let’s Talk Bitcoin Network.

On this episode of Distributed Dialogues Dave, Grahm and Rick explore a non-traditional approach to treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: psychedelic drugs. Traditional methods of treating PTSD have left much to be desired, not only by those who suffer from it, but from their loved ones as well. This has led to a growing number of people exploring experimental treatments, including many who travel great distances for ayahuasca ceremonies. While these techniques still have a long way to go to reach a mainstream audience, the numbers on their effectiveness don't lie. One such research center is The Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS): a program that has received millions of dollars in funding from Bitcoin.

Artificial intelligence is a big term, it's often misused and applies to a number of different applications and industries. It's also very polarizing and people usually fall into one of two camps; either they're wild fanboys about it or terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought. In this episode, we pay tribute to our AI overlords and focus on how AI can make the healthcare industry more efficient and, fingers crossed, maybe save us all a bit of money.
