Here's what's in your Prime Interest today:
There's a new Bitcoin 
sherriff in town.  It's called the Digital Asset Transfer Authority -- 
or DATA. And it's not just limited to Bitcoins, it will self-govern most
 of the actors in the digital currency space, including Ripple. Again, 
this is on a purely voluntary basis.  With regulators increasingly 
cracking down on various crypto-currencies, DATA is attempting to get 
ahead of the game -- and craft best practices to interact with 
regulators.  Bob talks with Trace Mayer, entrepreneur, and Andreas 
Antonopoulos, internet security expert, and asks if the new regulatory 
authority, DATA, goes against the original purpose of Bitcoins -- namely
 anonymity. Then we head to the hills of Virginia's gold belt to see 
what takes longer: mining bitcoin or mining gold. Finally Bob duels Mark
 Levine on the Snowden affair.
