Jarrod Dicker, CEO of Po.et, explains how his company utilizes Blockchain technology to track content online. Dicker shocked the media industry when he left his job at The Washington Post for the top job at Po.et. Dicker explains Po.et is an online marketplace for creative content. Blockchain is a huge part of this because it's an easier way to classify data and find out what the value of media is. Dicker explains the company decided to launch an ICO as a way to raise funds instead of going the venture capital route. He says this was a better choice because Po.et is community driven. Dicker says moving from The Washington Post to Po.et was a natural progression of his work.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
