➡ Benjamin Diggles, a founder of Constellation, a cryptocurrency blockchain, explains that Constellation is a unique blockchain ecosystem with its own developer tools. It allows people to build their own blockchains, create their own cryptocurrencies, and validate their own data types. Constellation focuses on managing complex data, providing transparency and evidence for applications that use data in the real world. Despite the confusion around cryptocurrencies, Diggles suggests that they can be seen as a new world of stocks, with real-world value being an important factor to consider.
➡ The text discusses the use of blockchain technology for data integrity and transparency. Blockchain, an unchangeable record system, ensures that once data is entered, it can’t be altered, providing a reliable source of truth. Despite initial resistance due to cost and environmental concerns, the technology is now being used by the U.S. government for secure communication and asset tracking. The text also mentions the potential of blockchain in financial systems and the creation of a decentralized exchange, allowing people to invest in and benefit from the performance of different projects.
➡ The future will likely involve QR codes on live broadcasts to verify their authenticity and combat deep fakes. A system called Medusa can provide this verification, ensuring the integrity of data and keeping artificial intelligence honest. This technology is also being used in various sectors, including mining operations to verify the authenticity of precious metals, and in government agencies to secure data exchange. However, the technology still faces challenges, including the need to be quantum ready.
➡ The Constellation Network is a blockchain technology that aims to improve internet security and data protection. It’s a new technology that can be invested in for a small cost. The network is working with influential people in the crypto revolution and is focused on making America more transparent and safe. To invest, you can download their Stargazer app and buy their cryptocurrency, which can be stored securely and used to earn rewards.
➡ The future of data control could involve individuals owning their personal data, such as DNA or music preferences, and choosing who can access it. This could allow people to earn money from their data and control its use. The future may also involve micro payments for services instead of subscription costs, using cryptocurrency for small investments. The speaker believes this could lead to a new world of use cases that protect individuals, and is excited about the potential of blockchain technology.

What’s up, folks? Welcome to Nino’s Corner tv. I am joined with none other than Benjamin Diggles, who is one of the founders of Constellation, which is a cryptocurrency blockchain. Correct? Am I saying all this correctly? Sort of, yeah. But we have a cryptocurrency on our blockchain, but there’s a lot more to cover there. But, yeah, you’re on. You’re on, Mark, buddy. And thanks for having me. Yeah, absolutely, Benjamin. So I. I am. I dabble with some cryptocurrencies and I really don’t know much about it, Right. But I’ve been told to get xrp, Bitcoin, Doge, things like that.

And it’s like gambling to me. I’m just kind of throwing them. I’m diversifying, throwing my money in different stuff. Let’s just start from there. Okay, so first of all, what is consultation? What is this? What is this? Yeah. Well, first off, yeah, I appreciate you having me here and I appreciate your honesty as well. You know, some of this stuff is rather esoteric. It’s not even rather esoteric. It’s very esoteric, very confusing. Right. So Constellation is a blockchain ecosystem. And what that means is that we have our own set of developer tools, really end to end, that represent a web3 or blockchain business.

So we have our own homegrown blockchain decentralized network. We’re not built on top of Ethereum or Bitcoin or anything else. We’re our own soup to nuts blockchain. We also have a wallet that people can download and exchange cryptocurrencies even beyond our own. On that wallet, we have a blockchain explorer that shows all the transactions of what’s taken place. We’re about to launch our own decentralized exchange. We have a sensor technology. So the point is, is that we really wanted to build an ecosystem of developer tools to allow people to build their own blockchains, mint their own cryptocurrencies, and validate their own data types.

And I will mention one thing there that sort of separates us is that we’re the blockchain for big data. If there’s anything you remember, that’s what you want to remember about Constellation is that we believe that with the legacy or the existing world we live in, data is absolutely paramount. And even in digital transfers, a digital currency that’s just a data type. And so we thought, what if we made a blockchain around these complex data management solutions to validate data at the source, to Provide evidence and transparency and resilient attribution around these applications that use data in the real world.

So hopefully, data is the future. I mean, it’s more valuable than oil and everything. Correct? I mean, that’s the way we see it. I mean, the numbers don’t lie, right? Like, the only reason AI is working is because of data. And what do they want is more data. I mean, generative AI with Google uses 17 times the power than a regular Google search. So it just shows you how data is extremely valuable right now. So are you guys the first ones to be doing this, coming out of the gate like this with data, using data? Is that how this work? I mean, I don’t want to be a know it all.

I’m sure there’s small pockets of companies out there doing some stuff, but from a holistic, like, big blockchain approach and us launching in 2017, you know, roughly eight years ago, I believe we’re one of the few that have really taken this on. Because I’ve heard everyone’s telling me, oh, no, no, no, no. Get Bitcoin, you got to do bitcoin, you got to get with Bitcoin, get with Ethereum, get on xrp. It’s a stable coin. I don’t know what any of this shit means. I’m just going with it, going, okay, that sounds good. You’re telling me that’s the future.

All right, so now I’m being told consolation by a bunch of people. And I’m like, this is just getting out of hand. What do I do here? Yeah, there’s millions of cryptocurrencies out there. And everybody’s like, oh, check out this token. Look at this. I mean, dude, there’ yeah, yeah. And I totally. What do we do? What do we do? Like, is there going to be one that stands alone, or are we just going to be all over the place with this stuff? No, I think we’re going to be a little bit all over the place with this stuff.

Sort of how? There’s not one search engine to rule them all, Right? There’s not one cloud to rule them all. Like, there’s going to be multiple blockchains based off specific use cases. But I often look at web3 and the world you’re talking about, like, Bitcoin and Ethereum and all this stuff is sort of an isolated world, an echo chamber, or like an island, right? Oh, I’m buying this stuff, I’m trading it. But, you know, who doesn’t care about it is the legacy. You know, you don’t see Apple creating a currency. You don’t see Apple trading a currency or Coca Cola or any of that.

Maybe they’re doing it behind the scenes, but they’re focused on real world. Right. I often say Apple does more in revenue every year than almost the entire cryptocurrency world combined. And so where we’re focused is on how do we bring the value of decentralized systems and what blockchain provides to the legacy versus trying to get the legacy to come over and be like, mint these tokens, get involved in this, in this world. So I fully respect why you have this sort of fever dream, if you will, around all this. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I’m going to tell you the truth.

I’m very elementary when it comes to this stuff. And there’s probably no place this is probably going to be a very impactful interview for you or podcast for you, because my audience feels the same way. Most of us are just like, they’re confused on this issue. I have some friends that are like, very versed at this subject. Right. And they’re the ones that told me to, to get you on the show. And I was like, really? Okay. And so I’m introducing you to my audience. That’s probably, I would say, most of them. There’s going to be a few that are like, not me.

I know exactly what I’m doing. But there’s going to be. Most of them, they’re like, I don’t know what the hell we’re talking about here. And they want to know where to invest their money. Is this on an exchange and everything? Can you. Or do you have to go to like a. How do, how do I get involved with Constellation Network? Yeah, I mean, like, I know it’s not profound. We go to our website, Constellation Network IO, top right corner. There’s a thing that says get DAG, which is our currency that you can get a hold of.

Right. So what is it at? Right now I think we’re sitting at like 5 cents. So it’s cheap. Whoa, whoa. Yeah, yeah. And we’ve had some good days and bad days, but we’re a stable token. I will say one of the things that’s worked against us is we’re not listed on a US based exchange. It’s, it’s sort of a conspiracy that I’m not going to get too deep into. But we are listed on about 15 other exchanges. We have the ability where you can, you can buy this token with a wallet, Apple pay, you know, rather easily.

That said, just to Answer your question about, you know, how this is confusing. I think the best way your audience can look at it is that this is just a new world of stocks, right? That the what people should be looking at. That takes pause that when we look at the traditional stock world is, are these cryptocurrencies tied to some real world value that bolsters the true, like, foundational meaning of what that token represents? Right. And that’s where it gets a little shady. If it’s just sort of a coin that’s in the, you know, the ether, that’s not as interesting.

I will take Ethereum and block Bitcoin off the table. But there’s a lot of funny money that’s flowing around in some of these cryptocurrencies where people can’t really validate and we live in a world where nobody trusts anything. Right. And so that’s why I feel like Constellation really stands out, is that we’ve been validated by the Department of Defense. We’ve been working with them for six years. Explain that. Explain that. What do you mean validated by the Department of the dod and you’ve been working them, working with them for six years. I see you guys have made in America and some of your material.

What sets you apart from other blockchain or USA blockchains and hypergraphs? I don’t, I’m trying to understand here. Yeah. And I mean, hypergraph is just a language of our network. There’s. We’re the only hypergraph network in the world. Not that that really matters to your audience. But what separates us was our focus on validating complex data types at scale for existing and emerging data sets. I know it’s a mouthful here, but when we think about how no one trusts anything right now, right? Like you look at a screen, somebody say, you don’t even know if it’s a deep fake or what.

But people are just at low trust. And a big reason because of that is because you can alter data, right? Like, and so I often look at like a database. If, you know, you say you, you misspell your name. And like I misspelled Benjamin. I put two Bs. I can go in and I can change that and update that database with blockchain. It’s called an immutable ledger. It’s like Medusa looking at the database and it turns it to stone. So if I fat finger my name with two Bs, that will always live on the ledger forever.

But I have to do a new entry. So if we’re able to Put data or have Medusa look at that data as close to the source of where it’s created as possible. We now have a source of truth that gives people confidence in what they’re consuming, whether it’s AI algorithms and so forth. And so when we looked at like the go to market back in 2017, it was tough, right. The enterprise didn’t want blockchain. You know, they were saying, it’s too expensive, it’s cumbersome, it’s hard on the environment because bitcoin is not easy on the environment, and so forth.

So we reached out to the DoD and we wrote a contract proposal saying, hey, US Transcom as an example, which is our customer. You guys are the largest data creator in the world. Arguably it’s where all data for mission control comes in for the entire government. We said, well, what if you were able to put your data on a blockchain at the source so that you know that it’s not being spoofed, corrupted, changed or altered in any way while you’re communicating not only internally with your three letter agencies, but your external contracting partners. Which is more important because it’s a very porous, scary environment when you start doing that.

And so. Yeah, I’m gonna pause for a second. Does that all make sense? Yeah, it does. And I have some questions here that are. That my friend wants to ask. Wants me to ask you. So I’m gonna ask for my friend here. Sure. Who’s a lot more versed on this than I am. So I’m gonna, I’m gonna ask these questions from him, which I promise I would, so my, my audience can see our monetary system seems to be on its last breath. Is there a way you can give. You guys can bring transparency and a level playing field to.

If we have, if we have a reset. Yeah. I mean, so I do think that I align with that, that our financial situation is in dire straits. Shambles. Shambles. I mean, it really is painful to look at. There’s a lot of rumors out there. Nesara gesara this. Right. I’m hearing everything. Yep. And everyone’s an xrp. Gold and silver. I’m like, what’s happening? Well, yeah, I mean, so it’s a hard. Yes, buddy. Like, so these technologies have been in place for a while. I mean, I feel like the ability to trace transparency and efficiency of audit trails has been around with blockchain for at least the decade, the last decade.

So, yes, we are being asked by the DOD, can you track some of these extremely important assets? And I’M not going to go into details because I can’t to put them on a blockchain so that we have that real time visibility. Looking at it showing this is what it says it is. It didn’t get changed by a contractor. It wasn’t conflated. We all know about $2,500, you know, toilet seats. Right. What did it cost at the source? Oh, it was $6. We now @ the source have that data that shows it was what it says it was at scale.

And so I believe that this if it, whether it’s Gesara, Nisara with all these things, a quantum reset. Everyone’s on xrp, man. Everyone is on me about xrp. Sure. Because they’ve had a marketing power and a budget since the beginning. They got in very early. They have billions in ecosystem or market cap in their ecosystem and so they have a lot of marketing flex. To be very loud, as you mentioned before we jumped, not a lot of people know about Constellation. We’re sort of this diamond in the rough that we. And it’s largely because we’ve been heads down focused on building.

I will say we are arguably the most awarded federal blockchain contractor in the nation, which we’re very proud of. But like you said, nobody knows about it. Right. When did you guys start this? We started contracting. Well, we started the company in 2017 and we started contracting with the federal government in 2019, March. Were you guys based out of like what state are you guys out of? We’re incorporated in San Francisco, but we’re decentralized so our team’s pretty much spread all over the world. But we are an American based blockchain. Like that was one thing. We came out very strong.

We want America to win. We believe this technology should be at the forefront. We’re five years behind Russia. More importantly, we’re five years behind China. They’ve had this stuff in production. I’ve said it to generals, I’m guessing you guys can’t get into their stuff, but they have no problem getting into ours. And it’s because they have a very focused practice around distributed immutable technology known as blockchain. So we need to quit, you know, dragging our knuckles. But I will say the reason why we haven’t seen this stuff come to fruition is because we live in a corrupt world.

I walk into these different groups, the last thing they want is the guy that’s like, oh, we can help you pass an audit. They’re like, well we don’t want to do that. We’re we’re much rather work in the gray, you know. Right, right. Yeah. But now with this new administration coming in, they’re forcing the hand. It’s no. And we’ve seen a complete shift in the last four to five months. It’s insane. It went from no, we don’t want it, we’re curious. And now it’s ASAP because they’ve got, you know, some pressures on the high coming down.

So Constellation is showing a Dex decentralized exchange coming Q1. I don’t even know what that means. Is that still in the works? Yeah, I don’t even know what that means. Yeah, yeah, that means quarter one. That means within the first three months and that’s sort of accurate because it’s just going to come out directly after. It’s going to be in April and this is going to get a little bit complicated. But I’ll make it as simple as possible. All blockchains revolve around nodes. Just to educate your audience, I often talk about as like a flock of birds.

Centralized systems are like dragons. You feed them a bunch of data, they get fat, malnourished. And that’s why Slack was down yesterday, because it’s a centralized company. Right. If you can hunt a dragon, throw an exploit, you can take the whole system down. But if you break that up into a flock of birds known as nodes, you now have small representations of the whole doing small pieces of the larger compute. And so if you try to hunt down some, some flock of birds, you could throw a spear and take two or three of them out, but you can’t take the whole thing out.

And that’s what creates that resiliency of a blockchain. And so if you want to add more data, you just horizontally add more birds to your flock. And so the reason I’m bringing up that sort of metaphor here is that people can invest their cryptocurrency, ours is dagger in staking that against these nodes and they get rewarded by them validating data on behalf of different projects. So if somebody’s like, wow, I really like the work you’re doing with Panasonic. I want to take some of my cryptocurrency and I want to put it against their nodes and receive a rewards as their company does better on their blockchain.

Interesting. Yeah, it’s pretty cool. It’s a different way. Yeah, that’s. Yeah, I’m okay, I’m getting, I’m getting. I’m picking up what you’re laying down. All right, nice, nice. It’s clicking, right? Yeah, it’s. Clicking is a way for people to eventually tokenize these assets, these data sets and allow people to swap cryptocurrencies freely. But they’re all based off of the data and performance of the blockchain networks within our ecosystem. Wow. Okay, so is that something companies could get a metagraph on and how, and how their stock would trade? Can they get a metagraph on this? This is exactly someone with Delta Air Miles or Delta Rock Swap or Marriott Rewards or stock.

So a good way of looking at it is if they tokenize those attributes of their business. Absolutely. This is what they would do. So yes, they would build a blockchain network. For example, some of the stuff we’re doing with Panasonic is around our first responders out there. So fire trucks, ambulance, police vehicles to have source data that proves that things are doing what they say they are. We’ve got Medusa in the cabins that’s looking at these sensors saying, so this is like complete transparency. This is complete transparency from the source, which we think data is bottled intention.

And if we’re able to say this is exact, I believe, my friend, that we’re going to live in a future where there’ll be a QR code on live, live newscast that people can scan. It’ll be like, yep, lat, long time of day. This is not a deep fake. This is, this is actually what, that’s the right, like, right. It has to come up. You have to, you’re going to have to battle the AI in some way, shape or form. And that’s the way you would do it. You’re right. Yep. And so it’s, it’s, it’s rather AI proof because once you have Medusa at the source, come hell and high water, you can’t change it.

And so that’s why it’s so important. That’s why folks, you know, they’re making this can beat artificial intelligence, man. I think it’s more of like it works alongside of it, but it keeps artificial intelligence honest. Honest. We, we have a saying, honest data for a connected future. Because think about it right now, somebody slaps something in a chat GPT, they just trust it. You’re like, oh, cool. They have no way of the math of knowing where it came from. Who’s the source? Have you validated this source? How to battle fake news? Yeah. How do you battle your deep fakes? Right.

I just saw Tom do a commercial and it wasn’t him. Right. And so what can I do to have that extra. So what we’re really producing is a check mark guarantee on the other side that folks can see and have that confidence. Much like in the late 90s when they would shop on E Commerce, they’d see the lock and they’d be like, okay, I can trust this. And if they click on it, they can see there’s a gateway and SSL and all that. But we believe that a smart check mark will allow people to click on this output and see that.

Yep, it is what it says it is, and I can trust it. Like your own fact checkers. That’s it. But. But we’re not biased because we don’t care. We’re just telling you. I just want to make sure it comes from the original source. That’s it. Like, yeah, we don’t even touch the data. We can’t touch the data because Medusa got in the mix, you know. So the US treasury has a wallet with you as well, correct? Well, so there’s a little bit of an asterisk with that. But yes, we’re part of a group called the National Digi Foundry.

It’s sort of a mouthful, but digi foundry.org for folks that want to check it out. It’s a really great consortia that is, it’s a dao, a decentralized autonomous organization. Mouthful term there, but it’s a cross section between federal government and industry looking for best practices of digital assets and blockchain deployments. And groups like NASA, Space Force, U.S. treasury, I mean, private companies like Microsoft, IBM, there’s a ton of really great people in it. We built the foundational network that allows people to trade cryptocurrency that they minted on behalf of this consortia to use for voting on working groups, funding working groups, getting access to education, governance, and so forth.

So they have their own cryptocurrency. So everybody that’s a part of it, including the US Treasury, State Department, the National Science foundation, they all have our Stargazer wallet. They’re using our currency. Wow. All right, I got some more questions for you. Yeah? Yeah. All this Fort Knox talk has my audience believing we need an audit. And we will get. When we will get one from Doge. Is there a way we can use your platform to go back to constitutional money, Say, gold, silver coins, and state vaults tied to the DAG Hypograph hypergraph. So it’s funny you mentioned.

These are pretty good questions. Yeah, these are great questions. Right. So it’s funny you mentioned this because one of the crazy upticks we’ve seen in the last two years is the onslaught of mines that are looking for blockchain technology because nothing is closer to the source when it comes to these precious metals. Like Port Knox gold in the mining operations. Right, Which I heard has been cleaned out, but that’s another story. That’s another podcast. But all right, let’s. Yeah, and I mean, there’s a lot of them, right? Some of them are in shambles, there’s are emerging, there’s a whole bunch in between.

And some of these are worth, you know, upwards of of tens of billions of dollars in assets a year. The problem is, is that when you tokenize those assets, nobody trusts it. This goes back to that check mark telling you, yo, is this what you think it is? Like we have real time visibility. Medusa’s at the source at those mining sensors saying, yep, this is the amount that’s there, here’s the purity, here’s the time of day. All these things that on the other side, when we get into the trading, exchanging and whatnot of these assets, we have that validity and we can tell, yep, it is what it says it is.

Right now, even with the government, America, banks, everything has to take their word for it because nobody can go and sniff out if the Fort Knox gold is real or not. Is there tungstenite in there or not? And that’s really, I want to say, is the crux of all this, my friend, is that trust is eroding in real time in front of our face. And if we don’t have a technology or at least some form of a solution that’s giving us that source of truth, it’s going to turn into an anarchist world rather quickly, in my opinion.

All right, so here’s another one. Iron Spider seems to be a big project your team is working on. Can you tell my audience what this is and how it could help? Iron Spider? Never even heard of it. Yeah, yeah, it’s kind of a funny name, right? And it’s an acronym because the government, man, they turn everything into acronyms, right? And so iron is just iron and SPIDER stands for secure Peer to peer Interoperable Data resilience. And so it’s a mouthful, but if you think about what Bitcoin did around a peer to peer finance trade, secure peer to peer decentralized finance.

It’s anonymous. No one needs to know who I am. No one needs to know who you are. We can securely exchange cryptocurrency. We basically have done the same with data. We can peer to peer exchange it, whether it’s machine to machine, person to person, entity, system to system. And we do it securely in a way that has provable guarantees that that data has not been spoofed, altered or changed. Some of the work we’ve done with the FAA is around GPS spoofing data. It’s become a huge problem, my friend. Last year there was an uptick in 63% or maybe a 69% of attacks on GPS, forcing them to go to analog systems.

That’s regressive, that’s not progressive. Right. So therefore, what if we put GPS data, Medusa, that stuff right at the source? We now have proof of movement that this has not been altered. They can make quick decision in contested environments. And knowing that adversaries are not spoofing or messing you guys like. I mean, you guys should be working like with Space Force. I mean. Yeah, and so we do stuff with Space Force as well. We’re really involved in many different three letter agencies. Space Force, a lot of stuff around space. And you’re. I don’t mean to insult you, but it’s.

You’re unheard of to me. I didn’t know you guys existed until about a few weeks ago. Trust. And now I’m learning and I’m learning. What I’m learning right now is unbelievable. This is why I jump up anytime. Somebody’s like, hey, do you know who these guys are at Nino’s Corner? I was like, no, but I’ll get on, I’ll get on a podcast, you know, share my stuff. Right. That’s what I’m struggling is trying to get our name out there. Because I’m just going to call spade a spade. There’s some heavy hitters at the top that have a lot of money that don’t want us, don’t want us poking our head into their world.

Yeah, but I mean, the cream of the crop rises to the top. Everything you’re telling me, it’s undeniable. Slow and slow and steady wins the race, is what I always say, buddy. So we’ve never missed a milestone, a task order deliverable on behalf of the DoD in six years of working with them. We are quantum technology. What’s that? According to me, we’re awesome. No, this sounds awesome. Quantum technology. Is this a threat or are blockchains quantum proof? Is this a threat to the Constellation Network? No, you kind of already explained that. I would say quantum is just a threat to society in many ways, but in a lot of other ways, it’s sort of a nothing burger because there’s ways for us to get ahead of this and a lot of technologies within the government have gotten ahead of it.

It’s one of the major requirements we have is to be quantum ready. Does that mean that every aspect of our ecosystem is quantum ready? No. There’s going to be certain things that are going to have to see some serious funding and up leveling, such as wallets and whatnot. Like, you know, there’s a lot of applications that heavily rely on existing Internet that is pretty frail. And so how do we bolster those? But yeah, I mean, when we start thinking about quantum proof and AI protection and AI readiness, blockchain is the hand to fit the glove. I just can’t see how these things are going to not go hand in hand as we see this emergence of these new technologies.

So right now people can get in for 5 cents, you said that’s what it is. Yeah, it’s like 4 or 5 cents. I mean, where do you project this going in the next few months, years? What do you anticipate here? Well, I mean, it’s the cardinal sin for many reasons for me to talk about any token action. We have rules around that for obvious reasons. We’ll get our hands slapped. So I can’t talk any speculation around our token. That said, the future is really bright for us. Right. We’ve been spending the last few weeks on the Hill.

I was with Congress and senators over the last few weeks, meeting with all of these constituents, talking about our solution. Jorgensen, our CEO, was with Bo Hines, which is one of the head lead guys of the new crypto revolution. So we’re, we’re in bed with the right people. This stuff is all about just putting one foot in front of the other and, and doing our best to make sure that we stay consistent. But we have to be patient. Right? I think a lot of people have gotten drunk on these quick crypto returns and have abandoned the real world.

Folks that are trying to focus on the legacy because they can make a 20% ROI on a meme coin in, in 24 hours, but they’re not emotionally invested in it. What I would like to see is people say, do we want America to be more transparent, safer, more resilient? That’s why I’m getting involved with Constellation is because I believe in what they’re doing. Not that I’m just trying to make a quick buck over the next quarter. Is it pretty consumer friendly to go to the site and buy the crypto? I mean, nothing in web3 is consumer easy.

I mean, anybody that’s used outside of like coinbase and some of these exchanges that are centralized. Right. It’s Constellation Network. Right. ConstellationNetwork IO, Constellation Network blockchain. America’s trusted blockchain. That’s it. That’s us. All right, I’m going to show it here for my audience because this is pretty phenomenal. You can just walk me through this real quick. Yeah. All right, so show me what I’m looking at here. Hope I got the right site. And we’re about to relaunch our website here in about one month’s time. So it’s of course cringy for me to look at certain things, but first things first, I got the right website, right? Yeah.

You’re there, baby. Yep, absolutely. So we sort of have that pick your path which we’re refining on our next stuff, but we still have, we’re an open source technology that any developer can build their own blockchain solution on our network today, which is pretty cool. That said, we have a heavily folk have a heavy focus on enterprise and federal, and so that’s why we have that pick your own path there. And we’re really going to kind of start to push away from the developer language and focus more on the solution stuff here in the next month.

That said, if you look at the top right hand corner, there’s Get Dag. And Dag stands and this is going to be a little nerdy, but it stands for directed acyclic graph. That’s our architecture, which allows us to be a big data fast blockchain. And so if anybody clicks on Get Dag up in that right hand, where’s Get Dag? I don’t see it. Right hand corner. Right hand. Oh, no wonder the picture’s in the way. All right, there it is. Bing. All right, Get Dag. Yep. And so you can, you can buy it directly from our wallet.

I think iOS may be touch and go just because they have some issues with that. But if not, if you scroll down. So this isn’t on like other app. This is not on other exchange apps. This is. I have to go to Stargazer app. Well, you could buy the cryptocurrency on exchanges. So we have 15 exchanges and you can hold it in an exchange, but if you want it to be off an exchange, because as we all know, centralized exchanges get hacked. And so anybody that has a lot of cryptocurrency on any exchange is probably not doing the right thing.

So we suggest people, even if they do buy it on a centralized exchange, that they install our wallet and they securely store it There, and it’s called Stargazer and you can get it either on iOS, Android or a Chrome extension. Okay, so Stargazer is what people should download and buy it from there. Yep. And, and, and when we launch the decks coming up here, they’ll be able to stake their, their dag. Once they have it against projects all within the app, it’s going to be very easy to do so that they can earn rewards and put it to work.

So it’s pretty slick. Right? And so if you scroll down, I mean, this is the step by step process, folks. Yeah, this is it. You know, I, I apologize that it’s not always the easiest because this stuff is, you know, funky. Meaning sometimes people go to use their credit card to buy on like our partner C14 and their, their credit card company maybe have rules against this stuff and so that, you know, like, yeah, I have some friends that use credit unions and they try to attach their bank to Coinbase and it doesn’t work. And I feel bad for them, but it’s just the state of the industry.

But I’ll tell you this, buddy, I feel like once regulation and guardrails come this year and they’re coming, it’s going to be a whole new world. There’s going to be a whole bunch that’s going to be released, much like we’ve seen with marijuana and banking. Right. Like it’s, it’s a whole. They don’t want to touch it because of the federal rules. But if the federal rules were to finally get into place and those bands would go off, every bank in the world would get involved in marijuana. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, it’s, I’m not trying to make excuses.

This is. So they should go to this site and buy, download this Stargazer and buy it on Stargazer. And that’s how you get up and running. That’s how you get up and running, baby. Yep. And I, I know enough to do that. Okay, so there you are. All right, folks, that’s what you have to do. This is something that I’m interested in. I’m. There’s no doubt that I’m going to be doing this. So sweet. Yeah, man. If you set up your Stargazer wallet, send me your DAG address, I’ll send you some, my crypto, some cryptocurrency. That’s a deal.

Let’s do it. You know, I always try to kick a little bit back to people helping me out, get the word out there, you know, so, yeah, no, this is impressive, man. So I’M going to put this up today. I’ll get this up today on YouTube and I just got to think of a good title for it. So here we go. Benjamin, I. I appreciate you coming on Benjamin Diggles, folks. No, he’s not an adult film star anymore. I appreciate you, man. Thanks for coming on. Yeah, thanks, David. It’s been a lot of fun and I appreciate your candor and excitement.

Yeah, thank you. I mean, you schooled me, dude, and that’s what I needed. I’d love to learn about this stuff because I know this is the future, this is where it’s going, we’re in it now. And to me, this is almost like the way to keep artificial intelligence on check, keep it honest. I mean, it’s just. It’s the next logical step in all this, man. So people want to be, you know, it’s. It’s like a safe house. Right? Right. Yeah. Just like. I just feel like people have been saying, I’ll leave you on this. After having been in data most of my career, I came from Oracle.

I’ve seen how the sausage is made with these systems. I’m not on any social media because I just don’t. I don’t trust it. I know what’s going on. I just feel like people have been taken advantage of. And Blockchain gives us a chance to restore order back to the people where we didn’t even get into medical data. We didn’t even get into personal data that people can own and they can use. You want to talk about that a little bit? Well, yeah, I can just. Yeah, I’ll just touch on it real quick. Right. Like right now, medical data is a great example because everybody gets it.

Right now, David has over 300 different copies of your medical data living in different systems. But guess who doesn’t have it? David, you don’t have it. Right. Furthermore, it’s being used without you knowing. A third party, and it’s worth a ton of dough. But if. Imagine if you had control over it in a wallet and as you went to a doctor, you gave them access to it. Or taken a step further, what if you had your DNA test and you found out you had a predisposition to something from your family, and you can offer that data up to a study and start making passive income off of that data directly using, you know, your DNA makeup, and then the day you don’t want them to do it anymore, you can claw it back and turn it off because you own it.

And I will say one last example right now, like Streaming services. The only thing Spotify has that edges everybody out because they all use the same music is their user experience and the algorithm. Why David doesn’t give his password out to other people because you don’t want mariachi music coming in next time you open it up. You want to protect your algorithm. You’re basically training their data system that that’s your data that should live inside of a wallet. And then when you plug into, like, you know, Spotify or Tidal or whatever, Pandora, you grant access to your algorithm that you’ve trained, and they feed off of that.

And you make micro payments for the time that you’re listening versus a subscription cost. That’s going to be the future, in my opinion, is micro payments for microservices that you can then take that crypto and put into micro investments like the delegated staking that we talked about. I’ve always believed if we change the pipes and we change the currency and we fractionalize those, we now have a whole new world of use cases that protect the individual at the source. It’s just incredible to watch this develop and evolve. Dude, I’m just blown away by it. I’m like a dinosaur, and I’m trying to evolve with it.

It’s like I’m pre Internet, dude. I’m that old. It’s crazy to even think about, like, here we are talking about all this, and I’m. I have my own podcast. I’m talking about this and I’m like, blown away. But, man, Benjamin, I. You helped me understand a lot. Is there anything else you want to get out there? No. I mean, that’s it, buddy. I just. I really appreciate you. I want America to win. I think there’s never been a better time for us to come together. Blockchain is a team sport. We don’t think that there’s one blockchain to rule them all.

This will be a process, but the future is bright for humans, my friend. There you go, folks. Benjamin Diggles, thank you so much. Get to the website. Get started. Thank you, Benjamin.
