Thanks for the effort!

just a small thing: please write session's actual date instead of "newest"in the title.

You're right.  It gives a sense of urgency since I am cleaning it up and posting it same day (usually).  I think I just ran out of room in title though.

Marketing is kinda a fun game, testing out things.  Oh yea and midday daytime bump.
I speak for myself and only myself.

The discussion about onramps was very exciting!

Although I dont get why these onramp startups would wait before going public. There is no harm in creating at least a landing page. For example Coinfloor.co.uk was promoting their benefits for months before launching, such as regulatory compliance and solid security etc. Why not get attention as early as possible?

 +5% Thanks for posting these. It helps me understand BTS better and see what the future plans are.

Thank you so much for this. These hangouts keep strengthening my confidence in my investment choice. BM does not oversell, is perfectly clear and open to discussion, I love it.

And unedited save for a few um's and ah's...

The ONLY place in crypto you will get this, literally.  We put you in the driver's seat so you do not have to rely on people interpreting content or giving themselves insider knowledge by omitting portions of content.  Please always remember that even after Beyond Bitcoin expands...it is because of the BitShares community and Devs that it was made possible.

Thanks for posting these recordings, very valuable.

One thing I was not clear was how VOTE and DNS fit into "the future of banking". BM alluded to things like reputation and ID, but it was a bit vague to me. What do each of these DAC concepts contribute to the future of banking paradigm and will they still be aiming to offer services that are not actually closely tied to this?

THis has been one of my of my favorite shows.  I was not happy with all the changes recently but I said what I wanted. The hangouts were kinda a sad affair in my opinion.  Not a lot of positive to be had by most.

Now I feel like things have changed.  I really believe we're only going up from here and I'm not even really talking about market cap!  If I didn't believe in this, I would have left.  So give this a listen and I think you will be pleased.
