#20- Who Really Created Cryptos with Ian Ferguson

Parallel Mike Podcast

In episode 20 we are joined by Ian Ferguson to do a deep dive into the murky past of cryptocurrencies. We trace their initial development all the way back to the 1980's when the NSA first began releasing white papers on the future creation of digital money. We then go over some key stages in their evolution through the decades until we reach the infamous Bitcoin whitepaper, at which point we consider just who was really behind it and if a great deception has taken place?

In this we explore a host of interesting narratives including sharing the little known story of Crypto AG, an NSA and CIA deep state operation which used cryptography to trick the worlds leading intelligence agencies for 50 years straight. In part 2 Mike and Ian switch it up a gear by debating the morality of investing in cryptos that are explicitly being designed as platforms for CBDC's such as XRP/ Ripple and moreover, the ethics of investing in general.
