In this episode, entrepreneur Rob Viglione discusses new branding for his company,\\xa0Horizen\\xa0(formerly Zencash). The coin name and ticker remains \\u201cZEN,\\u201d and users of zencash don\\u2019t need to change anything! The new branding reflects their broader vision to build a full digital economy, including investments, new wallets, and liquid democracy with an on-chain voting system. See their website and exciting new projects at\\xa0horizen.global.

Next, we feature Bob Murphy, an economist at Texas Tech University, the Institute for Energy Research, the Fraser Institute, and The Independent Institute. He\\u2019s also a co-host of\\xa0Contra Krugman, a weekly podcast in which he addresses\\xa0The New York Times\\xa0economist Paul Krugman. \\xa0

Relatedly, I\\u2019ll be joining Bob Murphy on the upcoming\\xa0Contra Cruise, October 21-28, sailing from San Diego along the Mexican coast with like-minded libertarians, economists, and fun people. At various stops, people can enjoy beaches and touring local cities. While sailing, the cruise features sessions in the morning on history, economics, and more. \\xa0

Bob Murphy discusses how he became interested in cryptocurrency and how he brought his knowledge of monetary theory to understanding the new technology, eventually releasing a book online,\\xa0Understanding Bitcoin.

I also recently did an\\xa0episode\\xa0of The Tatiana Show on P3D,\\xa0POWH.io, and\\xa0FOMO3D.

Bob assesses their models along with ideas about universal basic income and existing solutions to certain economic problems, such as Sam\\u2019s Club. Do you think P3D or similar projects represent brilliant new economic models? Do you support a universal basic income policy? Comment below or ping me on\\xa0Facebook\\xa0or\\xa0Twitter.
