Kerry: Welcome everybody to this episode of conversations with Kerry and as a special treat on the podcast this week, this will be distributed through various other channels, we are very honoured to have the lead developer of the Navcoin project with us which I'll introduce in a moment and Alex has come on the podcast with us. Now if you've never heard of Navcoin before don't worry a lot of people haven't and hopefully this podcast will fix that for you and tell you about this exciting project so hello Alex and thank you for coming on the podcast, I really appreciate it. Alex: Hello, Kerry thank you for having me it's a complete pleasure. Kerry: I’ll say a few words about cryptocurrency now. Everybody heard about Bitcoin, and everybody heard about cryptocurrency now in case you've been living under a rock for the last 12 years or so. In simple terms, cryptocurrency is a method of exchange that is calculated and stored on computers, that is thought to be worth actual money by a lot of people. That is probably the simplest definition of cryptocurrency I can give. The reason it's called cryptocurrency is the original project in this space that was hugely popular Bitcoin which came out in the late nineties, was the first cash system to be widely successful in this digital space, although when Bitcoin started, it wasn't worth much at all and we can talk about that a little later. Now when you talk about cryptocurrency, you'll get the term “blockchain” and I don't want to get too geeky because we're trying to keep the podcast general but in very simple terms when you put money in your bank and your bank takes your money, the bank says you have $3.57 or whatever your currency is and you believe them and hopefully all of the other banks believe them and this will sort of butterfly across into a topic that we're getting on to in a second here. But if you ask the bank how much you've got the bank says $3.57 and if somebody says, “person X has bought a chocolate bar which is $3.56, do you have $3.56?” the bank “says yes, yes they do”, and you end up with one cent left in your account and a chocolate bar. Now, this all sounds pretty simple and straightforward, except there are a couple of underlying problems with this system which we'll get into. First of all, you have to trust the bank and that seems as though it would be, pretty simple right? Nothing to hide, nothing to worry about? But if you've been following the news, the Canadian truck drivers would tell you all sorts of things about how the bank wouldn't let go of their funds and they were up doing a protest and went to buy a chocolate bar or whatever else they needed, not possible. So, we'll get to that in a minute, very soon actually. Kerry: So cryptocurrency used to be seen as a bit of a joke and everyone went “Bitcoin it's like the Dutch Tulip craze, it's not worth anything, don't worry about it” and then as time progressed and the technologies advanced and an incredible amount of intellectual power in the community, it became popular and the price went up, and then the price went up, and then the price went up. In 2013, bitcoins were $100 apiece, in 2022 Bitcoin is around $29,000. Let me have a look now… $29,062 yeah that's right. So first of all, one of the things that were taught about Bitcoin, and this leads to the first question. Kerry: I mean everybody heard about Bitcoin and people thought Bitcoin was anonymous, and I think we're gonna talk about this a little bit because Bitcoin is pseudonymous. Or pseudonymous I think the term is, and we'll talk about that in a little bit. But what's the problem if everybody knows what money you've got, and everybody knows what you're doing? What’s the problem with that? and probably what I wanna ...

  • E22 Moccona coffee, a not bad instant coffee blend

    E22 Moccona coffee, a not bad instant coffee blend
    2022/04/30
    Episode Notes Alicia and I discuss Moccona, a freeze-dried instant coffee we both enjoy. Welcome to Conversations with Kerry, a series of audio interactions with people and things in my world that I find interesting. If you have any comments, queries, questions, or feedback, you can find me as at K-H-O-A-T-H on Twitter, or email me kerry@gotss.net. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the podcast. Welcome, everybody, to this episode of Conversations with Kerry and day four of ADHD medication. Can we tell there is actually podcasts on a reasonably regular schedule? So here's another episode, and I have invited along this time the delightful, ineffable Alicia, welcome. Thank you. What kind of word was anyway? Ineffable. It means to look that one up. Awesome Yeah. We have to get a definition for ineffable. As you can hear, she's had quite the audio upgrade from last time. If anybody who's been following my podcast for some time, original podcast we had her on was the Doc and Alicia Fun with Hypnosis podcast, episode 15? I believe it was episode 15. And if anybody has any feedback, comments, would you like to see more of Alicia or less of Alicia on the podcast? I don't know if I want the answer to that. Well, maybe not. I would like to see more of her on the podcast because I love podcasting with people. It's fun. We're up here on Riverside on Sunday, the 3 October 2021, and I put that on just because so many of my recordings don't have dates on them. And then I go back and listen to them later and sort of go, when did that happen? So here we are today. We're talking about Moccona coffee, or we're talking about coffee. Now, I've had some interesting experiences with coffee. Coffee, when I used to drink a lot of it when I was younger, would cause me quite bad reflux. And we'll come back to that thought in a minute. And in fact, when I have been to America, and I've been to America four times, which is where Alicia is from, their coffee is made in pots and French presses. Well, how did you used to make your coffee? Actually, as a case in point, just- You know, pot or keurig. Pot or keurig. Okay, so bit of keurig coffee, bit of pot coffee. Take a few cups out of the pot throughout the day. That's a common thing No, not throughout the day. Yuck. Okay. Just in breakfast. Okay. Well, I mean, if you're I'm not opposed to having coffee throughout the day. What I'm saying is you make a fresh pot of it because letting it sit in the pot and then getting it later and heating it up in the microwave. There are people who do subscribe to this, I'll believe. Abomination. That's the problem. It is an abomination. Yes, I know. That is no, not you. Okay. All right. So we have a coffee connoisseur in. Our midst, which is that's kind of funny. I'll tell you why later, but anyway okay, no worries. So you used to drink either keurig coffee or pot coffee. Now, for people who aren't in the US. Keurig is one of those. Actually, I think it ends with a G. Keurig. Yeah, it is. K-E-U-R-I-G-I believe Keurig. Okay. Keurig coffee is one of the American coffee pod systems. So if you want to make a lot of okay coffee quickly with minimum fuss, many people default to a keurig. They probably shouldn't, but it's convenience over yum. I was going to say I believe kind of where that trend got going was for offices. Initially, people would have the keurig, paper cups, sugar packets, creamers, there's your coffee station with a minimum of mess. You weren't pouring out of a pot, you weren't making a bunch. And then either having too many people try to get coffee and there wasn't enough, or vice versa, you'd make a pot that doesn't get gone because you'd have those really big industrial, commercial office size pots. So I think that's kind of where they got started, was in offices, because someone could just make their own the way they wanted it, minimal mess. There you have it, and it ended up migrating into everybody's homes. Interestingly enough, and this reminds me of the inkjet printer on every desk that we used to have in offices. Like, I can't use the main printer, so I will have an inkjet on my desk. So keurig was the solution to that for coffee, because certain smaller offices would have a keurig in them rather than having a building coffee machine. Yeah, okay. No, that's all very interesting. I have had keurig coffee. It's not that great, in my opinion. It goes from blur to not so bad, basically. Yeah. If you want coffee and you have to have coffee and you're in a hurry, give me coffee now. Keurig. No problem. All right, so what was the problem with coffee for you? I remember you talking to me earlier in the year and just you can't drink as much coffee as you like. Yeah, well, backing that up for a second, just because I'm amused by you calling me a coffee connoisseur. I did not start drinking coffee till this 2015, so until I was 35 years old. I always loved the smell of it when I was growing up. I mean, I loved how coffee smelled, ...
