3 minutes - Bitcoin CME data, Coin Anchor, 'Sign' the Genesis Block

This episode provides a rapid-fire update on three major developments in the Bitcoin space: CME data preparation, a technical correction regarding the Genesis Block, and a deep dive into Coin Anchor.

1) Main Topics Discussed:

• CME Pricing Data: CME is preparing to offer detailed pricing data, including tick data updated every second or two. Daily settlement will occur at 15:00 GMT. The use of an average of multiple exchanges is expected to reduce volatility, potentially making Bitcoin products more accessible.
• Genesis Block Correction: The host provided a technical correction, clarifying that it is impossible to sign the Genesis Block itself. Instead, one can sign a private key associated with the block.
• Coin Anchor AMA: The episode promoted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with Coin Anchor, focusing on topics like AML/KYC and addressing accusations regarding the organization's association with "three-letter organizations."

2) Key Quotes:

• "You cannot sign a Genesis block. You sign a private key associated with that."
• "This settlement data is going to be an average of different exchanges together and that's going to remove a little bit of the volatility."
• "You can put your own two and two together if this is a threat to Bitcoin or if this is just some software project."
