Bitcoin miners “holding on with a death grip” as Bitcoin “pipe dream” appears hopelessly obsolete, slow and fractured: An interview with Kevin Lawton

Written By: Mike Adams July 26, 2017

In a fascinating, two-part interview with cryptocurrency analyst Kevin Lawton, the Health Ranger discusses the promise of decentralization, the vulnerabilities of Bitcoin and what the future holds for cryptocurrencies. (See video below.)

– Background on cryptocurrencies, and why Bitcoin was a useful “proof of concept” but doesn’t represent the future of cryptocurrency.

– Why Bitcoin is a digital fiat currency backed by nothing that’s real.

– Why there’s nothing special about Bitcoin in the world of cryptocurrencies.

– Why Bitcoin is strictly limited from scaling up due to a huge bottleneck in its transaction throughput.

– JP Morgan is already pioneering its own advances in cryptocurrency that make Bitcoin look SLOW and ancient.

– Why Bitcoin becoming a universal, globally used currency is “a pipe dream.”

– Why Bitcoin has huge upgrade problems due to no central authority having control over its infrastructure.

– Details about the Bitcoin “civil war” and how infighting can tear Bitcoin’s infrastructure apart.

– Why Ethereum is ending crypto mining operations and moving to another model.

– How multiple “hard forks” could cause havoc, lost transactions and wallet wipeouts in Bitcoin.

– Why claim that the “Bitcoin civil war” has been averted are premature… more obstacles remain.

– When things go bad with Bitcoin, no government or other authority can “rescue” you.

– How ICOs have been hacked and spoofed, and why online wallets are routinely stolen.

– How to diversity your cryptocurrency investments to reduce overall risk.

– Why Bitcoin is nowhere near as reliable as gold.

– Why the concept of crypto mining is already obsolete and no longer needed for cryptocurrencies.

– Why Bitcoin mining is approaching 1 Gigawatt of electricity… enough electricity to power a small city.

– Why decentralized cryptocurrencies don’t work well for handling micropayments.

– How Bitcoin mining conglomerates may destroy Bitcoin through GREED. Bitcoin miners are “holding on with a death grip.”

– Why Ethereum will surpass the total market capitalization of Bitcoin in 2018 (and may lead to a mass exodus out of Bitcoin).

– Why cryptocurrencies are highly vulnerable to sudden selloffs.

About the author: Mike Adams (aka the “Health Ranger“) is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called “Food Forensics“), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics. Follow his videos, podcasts, websites and science projects at the links below.

Mike Adams serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation. He has also achieved numerous laboratory breakthroughs in the programming of automated liquid handling robots for sample preparation and external standards prep.

The U.S. patent office has awarded Mike Adams patent NO. US 9526751 B2 for the invention of “Cesium Eliminator,” a lifesaving invention that removes up to 95% of radioactive cesium from the human digestive tract. Adams has pledged to donate full patent licensing rights to any state or national government that needs to manufacture the product to save human lives in the aftermath of a nuclear accident, disaster, act of war or act of terrorism. He has also stockpiled 10,000 kg of raw material to manufacture Cesium Eliminator in a Texas warehouse, and plans to donate the finished product to help save lives in Texas when the next nuclear event occurs. No independent scientist in the world has done more research on the removal of radioactive elements from the human digestive tract.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and American Indians. He is of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his “Health Ranger” passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world’s first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed “strange fibers” found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health “gurus,” dangerous “detox” products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over fifteen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
