VAULT “INSIGHTSBY” EDITORIAL________Part. 02 - Could you tell us a little about yourself, VAULT, and what you do there? I am the Sales Director of VAULT. I am in charge of merchandising, I do the math and set the prices, and I take care of all the activities of sale.

What are your major inspirations? Hip-hop

What do you carry with you at all times? What items can you not do without? I have to have my iPhone and my watch with me all the time. Having a watch with you is not only about being on time but also a kind of persona, it’s a different way of showing people what kind of person you are.

How would you define your personal style? Streetwear and sportswear. They make me feel comfortable and street. To me, street is hip-hop, and hip-hop is something I grew up with and something I love.

What are your personal plans, and your plans for the store? I want to run this store as long as possible. I am willing to try everything. I can accept failure but I can’t accept no trying. Just doing what we have to do step by step.

Last April, author David Kuo, a friend of our founder Jamie, passed away. This week, Jamie and another friend had a unique moment to remember him.

i had the privilege of introducing David Kuo to Kyle Korver a couple years back. Kyle was and is a professional athlete. He plays in the NBA. David was a gifted writer who worked in the White House and went on to write books. He was now fighting brain cancer, and had been for nearly a decade. i had already made plans to have lunch w/ David in Charlotte when i found out Kyle was in town for a game. i told David that the three of us should have lunch. He was not happy. "I don't want to meet your NBA friend," he said. "I'm not impressed by that. And I got my daughter out of school to see you." I told David that his daughter was welcome to come to lunch - I had no reason to believe that Kyle hated children. This was classic David: sensitive, emotional, honest. David kicked and screamed but came to lunch and of course they had a great conversation and became great friends. The three of us would go to Vegas together, and New York. David stayed w/ Kyle in California and Kyle visited him in North Carolina. The three of us became something of a trio, something real and deep, fueled by David's questions and encouragement. We laughed a lot as well, and we ate sushi like it was going out of style. Last year, Kyle gave David a jersey exactly like the one he wears in NBA games. The only difference was that Kyle added a U to his last name so that it began "KUO" - David's last name. The idea was actually mine, and i thought it was the coolest thing in the world. David died in April. He was absolutely one of a kind. In some ways, he was the best friend I've ever had. He was easily the most encouraging voice in my life and he taught me so much about love and honesty and friendship. Tonight, after the game in Orlando, Kyle handed me this jersey. There isn't much "stuff" at my house, and there isn't much "stuff" that i care about, but i will treasure this for the rest of my life.

We will bury each other. If we get this right, it means we live life together and we love each other and we walk together. And in the end, one by one, we go home.

I think for, you know, the moms and dads out there, the people who give money to Christian advocacy groups, to the RNC, what they want is something really, you know, important. They want to try and make America better. And they've been led to believe that somehow all of that can be achieved through politics. All of if can be achieved particularly through conservative politics. And you fast from something not because it's evil, but because you want to step away and focus on something more spiritual. And I really would love to see a period of time for a couple of years where evangelical voter stopped giving to all these political groups and started giving to the poor, you know, started giving their time to after-school programs, started, you know, doing two things that Jesus said, like loving your neighbor and -- and again, redirecting that money towards the poor. And I think that it would provide some much-needed perspective on the political environment.

The late David Kuo talking to Terry Gross in 2006 about his call for a fast from politics for evangelicals. Kuo, the Deputy Director of President George W. Bush's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, became disillusioned with the politics of the Bush White House. He died on Friday at age 44. He had brain cancer.

CurrencyFair: Bitcoin's Arbitrage Helper

With the growing global presence of bitcoin exchanges there is an increasing amount of arbitrage opportunities that have been left untouched because of the inability to move funds to the different exchanges.

Quite some time back it was suggested that the consumer-friendly forex services from CurrencyFair and TransferWise would be able to assist with the transfer of funds from a home currency to the currency used by a target exchange.  That suggestion fell flat at the time but it appears to be exactly what is now starting to happen.

Customers of the BTC/GBP exchange Britcoin have recently started using Transferwise to convert EUR to GBP and individuals interested in trading the BTC/PLN, BTC/CAD and BTC/AUD markets from afar, for instance, are looking to CurrencyFair as the tool that can help to get funds transferred to the exchanges quickly.

The two currencies that TransferWise trades are the Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Euro (EUR).  CurrencyFair supports trades between any of the following:

AED UAE Dirham

AUD Australian Dollar

CAD Canadian Dollar

CHF Swiss Franc

DKK Danish Krone

EUR Euro

GBP Pound Sterling

HKD Hong Kong Dollar

HUF Hungarian Forint

NZD New Zealand Dollar

PLN Polish Zloty

SEK Swedish Krona

SGD Singapore Dollar

USD United States Dollar

ZAR South African Rand

Though transfers from these services to the exchange are not instantaneous, as is considered a requirement for an exchange according to Rick Falkvinge, the transfers are local transfers which can clear from within hours or as much as a couple days depending on which transfer network is used.

The audio podcast for this post (transcript) is from an episode of the weekly MoneyTalk show by The Motley Fool's David Kuo.  Jonathan Potter of CurrencyFair states "We are giving the man on the street access to rates which up until now have only been available to businesses moving incredible amounts of money around".

There is an initial registration process where identification steps were described as "lengthy" in a recent TechDay article.

The exchange rates for bitcoins have been extremely volatile -- something that could be narrowed when movement of funds becomes less of an issue.  CurrencyFair could very well help to smooth things out.
