Will Twitter Decentralize? Bad News For 12/12/19

Marc Cuban says there is no way Bitcoin can ever become a reliable currency. Vinnie Lingham is about to win a Bitcoin price bet.  And Jack Dorsey does a series of tweets indicating that Twitter may be moving towards decentralization. Another alleged crypto ponzi scheme sees three people arrested, Nike has patented a system for tokenizing shoes, and a new crypto game will see people battling it out on blockchain. We’ve got plenty of news, and included in that is a special interview with Moe Levin, the founder of The North American Bitcoin Conference, one of the continent’s biggest crypto events. It takes place in Miami in January, and guess who will be on location? If you guessed Taylor Swift, you’re probably wrong. If you guessed Satoshi Nakamoto, we can’t really say. But if you guessed myself and Travis, ding ding ding! You win! In fact, you can win a ticket to the event.   So listen in and listen up.
