What do you think of when you hear "DMV"?

If you are like most people, the idea that the California DMV was open and actually acted on testing a car title system on a blockchain, it would seem a huge surprise.

Well, Tezos is doing just that with the DMV.

DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) are under fire right now. The latest CFTC enforcements and unclear road map are the reason we are talking about DAOs in this episode.

We are cautiously optimistic that DAOs will eventually find the right governance practices to receive a critical mass of adoption.

The signal we have long paid the most attention to is Adoption.

We discuss some of the companies investing in Blockchain and Crypto.

Not just money, but a lot of time has been spent. This is not an accident and indicates a long future for the tech, in our opinion.

Why do you need to wait for a bank to open on the weekends to do business? Close a deal?

Why wait after 6pm to get your banking done?

Why can you not settle transactions faster. Avoid chargebacks, and stop paying fee's for simply using money?

We believe Nano offers a solution, but their value proposition is so simple it may be the reason why mass adoption is taking time.
