February 3, 2026 -Blockchain, Crypto Currency and Scams
Blockchain, Crypto Currency and Scams
Blockchain concepts have emerged to support many functions over time. One of these is crypto currency. Recently ATM type devices have been installed that will transform cash into crypto currency. Recently scam artists, often criminal gangs operating at scale on a global basis, have started to use these to obtain money from their 'marks'. We will look at the basic concept of blockchain and why this provides a secure form of transactions and data retention. The application to crypto currency, and related, but significantly different application to meme coins and other digital objects will be considered. Finally the abuse of these to support illegal transactions via "ATM" style kiosks will be discussed.

{AI TALKS WITH TEA/COFFEE #38} The future of communications regulation with FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty
This is the first event of 2026 for Com/Sig + MTT/AP. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the federal agency responsible for regulating our networks and communications, including broadband, infrastructure, space, and media. In January 2025, Olivia Trusty was nominated by President Donald J. Trump to serve as FCC commissioner. After being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Commissioner Trusty began her term in June 2025. Alongside her peers, Commissioner Trusty will be instrumental in advancing the resiliency of existing and future networks, the future of media, and efforts that ensure communications accessibility to all Americans, especially as Congress begins to engage in universal service reform. On February 4, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings will host a fireside chat with FCC Commissioner Trusty to discuss her outlook on the agency in 2026, the priorities of the agency, and the aspirations for communications policies under her leadership. This event will be open to attend in person or watch online. Online viewers can submit questions via e-mail to events@brookings.edu.
