When we mention the word Ethereum, who do you think of first? Most would default to Vitalik Buterin. While he is the most active member from the original squad of creators, many don’t know that he was not acting alone. Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson and Anthony Di Iorio were among the group of co-founders for what is now the second biggest cryptocurrency by market cap. We had the opportunity to visit with Anthony Di Iorio at Puerto Rico Blockchain Week and were amazed at his passion and depth of knowledge. We think you’ll be amazed to on this “Vitalik ain’t the only game in town” episode #658 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

There are many reasons people enter the crypto space. Some are fascinated by blockchain technology. Some love the web3 aspects of play and earn, NFTs and the metaverse. Others are entranced by a new way of decentralizing finance. And of course, there are the Bitcoin purists. Today’s guest is in blockchain for what we at the Republic of Bad Cryptopia would label “the right reasons”. Passionate about the power of the immutable ledger and how it helps secure our inalienable rights, Chairman Elijah Bowdre has been talking the talk and walking the walk for many years.

John McAfee was without a doubt one of the most controversial guests we’ve ever had on this show. We got to interview him six times before his death, and we wish he was still around for a seventh go-round. But in lieu of that, the next best thing would be to speak with someone who was with McAfee while he was on the run from authorities. Alex Cody Foster is that guy. You may recognize him from the blockbuster Netflix special “Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee”. Today he discusses his time with John, the insane situations he found himself in and how he has documented it all in a new book. This episode has many Van Halen references so you’ll want to keep count of them on episode #654 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

The list of monsters and evil doers goes on… and while these fiends are fictional, there’s one more insidious then all of these… and is real. It’s the Creature from Jekyll Island, a beast so terrifying and horrible that it affects you, me and the American economy every day. As named by author and speaker, G. Edward Griffin, the Federal Reserve Bank is the monster that was born off the coast of Georgia and today remains a mystery to most Americans. We are pleased today to bring a legendary interview with G. Edward Griffin where we discuss the origins of The Fed, how the money supply works and how cryptocurrency can play an essential role in bringing about economic freedom for all.

Edward Griffin 07:40 - You’ve written a lot about different topics ranging from the truth about cancer, federal policy, the Federal Reserve. 08:40 - The Creature from Jekyll Island has an interesting premise. How did you go down the rabbit hole to discover the creation of the central banking system to author the story? 11:20 - The engine of inflation is the Federal Reserve system. 18:30 - Get into the content of The Creature from Jekyll Island. How would you summarize and persuade them that The Federal Reserve is simply a government agency? 25:10 - 26:33 - The Federal Reserve is a means by which the banking industry formed a cartel so they could dominate the market of money and banking, they would give it to Congress, Congress would pass it as a law and think The Federal Reserve is a government agency. 26:40 - Travis learned the realities of the monetary system in the year 2000.

We're revisiting our July 2020 interview with Max Keiser, a Bitcoin purist and fiat shredder (literally). Inflation and the Fed money printing continues in 2022, so we thought Keiser's insights into the financial system were highly relevant. This just might be the "orange pill" episode for you or your friends to hop into Bitcoin. At the rate the Federal Reserve is printing money, it won’t surprise anyone when the dollar eventually crumbles. Max Keiser is taking a pro-active stance on making fiat worthless. Hand him a twenty and see what happens. It’s been a couple years since we first spoke with the co-host of The Keiser Report so we thought it was a good time to catch up and get his current thoughts on life, the Universe and everything. Hold on to your fiat if you don’t want Max to shred it, but where we’re going you won’t need it anyhow. This episode has it all, including original ukulele serenades. Get in tune and come along for a wild ride with us on episode #426 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

TIME STAMPS 00:00 - Intro 04:50 - Feature Guest: Max Keiser 07:00 - Are you a Bitcoin purist? 07:45 - Most of the ICO projects from 2017 are dead. You were actually saying the Mona Lisa of the 21st Century is Bitcoin and a hash rate war with Iran that could potentially send Bitcoin soaring in value. 10:15 - America will say “we can’t let these other countries become the richest countries in the world” and enter the hash race/war. 11:06 - Couldn’t both be true? The government starts mining Bitcoin, but prevents its citizens from mining? 12:30 - What about the hash rate contribution from China? 14:40 - 16:18 - With all of the craziness in the United States, how close are we from Atlas Shrugging? 16:20 - 18:53 - The Federal Reserve system is flawed. People are starting to wake up. Bitcoin and Crypto seems to clearly be the path forward. How do you succinctly wake someone up to the whole currency system? 20:20 - We first interviewed you for Episode #34. You recently said hitting $50k Bitcoin will cause Peter Schiff, Mark Cuban, and others will go “all in” on Bitcoin. Explain. 24:36 - Explain the Cantillion effect. 27:55 - How do you think Trump figures into all this? 30:27 - Fairness in media broadcasting and publishing. 34:10 - Everything has been commoditized and traded on an exchange. 36:08 - You mentioned earlier that some of the big name projects in crypto are scams. Do you not think there’s room in the ecosystem for other blockchains and coins? 39:22 - What about countries creating their own digital currencies? 41:12 - Earlier I referenced the protests and the unrest. You have said the protests don’t do anything; buying Bitcoin is the real protest. But the protests are impacting change in policy. What is your take? 43:38 - These movements start out with great intentions, but then get consumed by other causes for the globalist agenda. Do you agree? 50:00 - We’re in 2020; what does the next ten years look like? What does 2030 look like? 52:30 - 54:25 COVID-19 and other events make it seem like this was all a soft coup against the United States government. 54:30 - Where in the world do you go when the U.S. collapses? 55:12 - New York City in the 1970s. 57:15 - The 1987 stock market crash. 59:20 - Global authoritarian dystopia… 1:00:48 - The militarization of local police and the rule of martial law.

We revisit our first interview with the legendary John McAfee with a replay of Episode #100 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. There is no one in the blockchain space more controversial than John McAfee. Once the founder of a software company that he now disowns, John has a rap sheet that’s longer than his biography. Some people love him. Some people hate him. And there’s probably a few people who don’t know who he is. But you are about to embark on a journey into the mind of a true internet pioneer and blockchain enthusiast. The episode is rife with language and content which may offend your sensibilities. John said we could ask him absolutely anything, so we did. Tell your children to go play outside, because it’s the no-holds barred, completely raw and uncensored episode #100 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. FULL SHOW NOTES: badco.in/100 TIME STAMPS0:00 - Intro - PARENTAL ADVISORY 04:38 - John McAfee on The Bad Crypto Podcast 05:40 - Everyone wants to know about your member and how you’re going to prepare it. 06:30 - You know how the mining is working in Bitcoin, yes? 08:10 - Is everything that is happening right now purely market manipulation suppression? Are there other forces at work? 09:04 - Who benefits from chaos in the crypto market? Governments and banks. 13:10 - The conversations being had in Washington, D.C. about the ways to view cryptocurrency. New companies involved in cryptocurrency are leaving the United States. What can we do as Americans to ensure all of this innovation doesn’t leave us with the placement of regulations? 16:19 - You are regularly touting various coins on the Twitters. There are people who are accusing you of pumping and dumping stuff. Tackle the subject of coin promotion. 19:30 - I do not want people - at my age - telling me what I can and cannot do with my own body and mind. My body my choice. 20:18 - What scares me is the people who do not invest in cryptocurrency live like sheep. 22:05 - Governments are salivating at the opportunity to release their own cryptocurrencies and continue the control of the populations. 22:42 - Lambos are the worst goddman cars in the world. 23:00 - Cryptocurrency does not belong to a country or government; it belongs to the individual, giving individuals the power to escape the prison we’ve been in for 2000 years. 23:26 - No one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. There is a really interesting white paper from 1996 on MIT that says, “how to make a mint”. From your perspective, do you think Satoshi Nakamoto was an entity or do you think it was potentially the NSA that created these cryptocurrencies? 24:40 - We had Tone Bez on the show who does technical analysis. He loves Bitcoin and like others says the other coins out there are scams. What do you think about this? 28:43 - What has to happen for mass adoption of these blockchain technologies? How do we reach critical adoption when most people are sheep? 29:50 - Lightning round of questions. 31:26 - You had a great presentation in 2017 and talked about mobile phones and how they’re so treacherous. We know there are vulnerabilities in iOS and Android. I think what you said was really valuable for people to think about. What would you tell people about keeping their crypto on their mobile phones? 35:06 - We know you are friends with Jihan. People want to know if you’re involved in crypto mining. 37:58 - You’re building the McAfee Coin, right? On the Universa blockchain? Can you tell us about this? 40:06 - How do you get new users? Take the wallet concept and throw it away… 45:52 - One final question. You’ve dropped a lot of thought bombs.

This is a Best of Bad Crypto Podcast replay while Sir Lord Travis and Sir Lord Joel are on vacation. We harken back to Episode #067, which originally aired on January 3, 2018 with guest Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple. The price of Ripple at that time was around $0.80 to $0.90; now is it around $0.30. Right now in 2022, there is an SEC case against Ripple. We are interested in seeing the outcome of the SEC case and its impact on the cryptocurrency industry and its adoption. More than three billion people are now connected online. But the payment infrastructure is still stuck in the 20th century. The people at Ripple hope to change that by creating the world’s only enterprise system for global payments. And today, we welcome the CEO of Ripple.com, Brad Garlinghouse to the program. It’s a fascinating discussion about all things blockchain, as well as XRP, the cryptocurrency which has seen a rapid rise over the past month. Let’s dig in with the token that holds the #4 spot in crypto market cap by getting answers directly from the top. It’s episode #67 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. FULL SHOW NOTES: http://badco.in/067 We also interviewed Ripple CTO David Schwartz in Episode #538 if you want more Ripple coverage. badco.in/538 TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 05:00 - The show has passed 1 million downloads (by episode #067; pretty decent!) 07:00 - Bad Crypto Inbox and Mail 07:05 - How do I keep my crypto in cold storage safe from fire, natural disaster, theft, etc.? 10:00 - I bought Bitcoin for Christmas presents, and now I don’t want to give it up. What do I do? 11:32 - FEATURED GUEST - Brad Garlinghouse of Ripple 13:55 - Tell us about your background and what brought you to Ripple. 15:10 - Travis and Brad have some things in common because they both attended the University of Kansas; Rock Chalk Jayhawk. What is your favorite Jayhawk moment? 15:50 - Ripple has a more centralized nature to it than other cryptocurrencies. What was the thought 18:30 - Roger Ver just Tweeted something where he quoted Milton Freedman who said, “you should want more insider trading, not less” and tweeted at Bob Murphy Econ who said there shouldn’t even be an SEC. The context being what just happened recently with Bitcoin Cash being sprung onto Coinbase. What are your thoughts on that? 19:50 - Let’s set a foundation here, just in case people don’t know what Ripple is. Can you explain what Ripple and XRP are, what does it do, and why does it have value? 22:05 - I’ve traded with alot of cryptos, and I notice that Ripple and Stellar Lumens and BitShares are smoking fast with their transactions. The payments are so quick, and with some of the other blockchains their transaction speeds are not fast. Why is Ripple so fast when you come with these global payments? 25:02 - Ripple has had an interesting ride the last couple of weeks, around 0.25 per token. The circulation on them is approaching 39 bln, but the total supply is closer to 100 bln. What is with the 55 bln in lock-up, in escrow? 27:13 - Is that supply schedule public somewhere, because that would answer a lot of questions. 28:00 - The coin, XRP, is that intended for day-to-day use by individuals to hold and trade, retail payments, or was it designed solely as a system to facilitate long distance fiat transfers for banks? 30:00 - One of our earliest episodes, we interviewed Jedd McCaleb (an early founder of Ripple). Jedd was covering Stellar Lumens, which just announced a really big deal with IBM and people want to know when we are going to get the household name announcement from Ripple? 32:11 - The value of XRP, how does it impact the Ripple protocol? Does the higher price of XRP reflect higher adoption or utilization? As Ripple increases in value, are those transaction costs going to increase like they did with Bitcoin? 34:15 - No one has a crystal ball, but you get to speak with banks around the world. When do you see a complete flippening happening from fiat to crypto with mass adoption? 36:30 - There are a lot of different banks in the world; do you see Wells Fargo, for example, making their own cryptos using the Ripple protocol, or do you see XRP being the coin used? 37:57 - Would you follow the same premise with countries creating their own cryptocurrencies? 38:52 - Speaking of yen, there is rumor Ripple is being used between Korean and Japanese banks. Is that just rumor or truth? 39:35 - Three part question, but not even a statement, the question is inherent. The word is: Coinbase. 40:11 - From a Bad Crypto Podcast Facebook Group member: Have you tried or do you like Cheddar Bacon Mac N Cheese Lays potato chips? 40:27 - Is it a goal of the company to replace SWIFT as a payment mechanism? 41:55 - There are some really cool tokens that are popping up, but it is very slow for them to get on the cryptocurrency exchanges. What are your experiences with getting listed on some of these changes and what are some of the costs associated with being listed? 43:41 - Do you see the Fed eventuall

We're sharing our best shows from the last five years as Joel and Travis take a break from broadcasting new content for the crypto curious and the crypto serious. In 2017, Travis experienced a cell phone SIM hack perpetrated by security vulnerabilities at his wireless carrier, social engineering, and use of technology know-how to execute the nefarious hack. Your cell phone number is more public and connected to more private, personal information than your social security number. To protect yourself from potential attacks, be sure to enable two-factor authentication on all of your email, banking, and social media accounts and store your cryptocurrency moonbags on cold storage wallets. In Episode #633, we had guest Haseeb Awan of Efani share their unswappable SIM technology and encourage listeners to revisit that episode. We have a SPECIAL OFFER of one month of Efani phone service FREE to Bad Crypto Podcast listeners. http://badco.in/633FULL SHOW NOTES: http://badco.in/041 TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - Intro - Warning, explicit content as Travis expresses his feelings about getting hacked. 02:40 - Bad Crypto voicemails - we answer listeners’ questions, but Do Your Own Research and Not Financial Advice 08:20 - Top News Stories, dated October 25, 2017 16:16 There are some ICOs that are not really that awesome. If they look like a shitcoin, and they smell like one, don’t invest in it. Blockchain is going to be a major industry disrupter. 17:43 - James Altuchair, author of Cryptocurrency 101, says he thinks cryptocurrencies are the biggest innovation since the Internet. We are on the ground floor of an enormous trend that is going to change the world. 19:38 - Travis hypothesizes on the tokenization of natural resources. 23:22 - Feature story: Travis gets hacked 23:30 - Travis noticed his iPhone didn’t have cell phone service, only WiFi. Alerts for an Apple ID passcode were popping up, followed by a text message from a T-Mobile representative. 24:45 - Skype call to T-Mobile for assistance. The hacker circumvented Travis’ passcode and his PIN. Convinced the representative via social engineering to SIM swap Travis’ account. 26:20 What’s the resolution to this situation? 31:40 - Remove your cryptocurrency from exchanges to cold storage. 34:16 - Some vengeance was had; Travis found the hacker via the “Find My iPhone” device location connectivity on the hacker’s phone. 35:49 - I was the Global Digital Strategist for Semantic for the Norton Brand. I know how to operate safely online and I did all the right things. The weakest link in my security aside from not having 2FA on my Apple ID and Gmail accounts, was the account representative at T-Mobile susceptible to human engineering. 37:12 - I would love to hear their CEO at T-Mobile to speak on this security issue. But here’s the lesson, lock down your stuff, use two-factor authentication at all times. 37:46 - Would it be safe to say the FBI would be interested in looking at what this person did? I believe there’s at least one felony count in what this person did. 38:17 - What if this person emails you and owns up to it, and has some sort of promise to never do this again? It would be nice to see somebody set straight before they were arrested. 38:36 - Go ahead and email us at badcryptopodcast@gmailcom; maybe if you show some remorse, all this evidence I have against you won’t be shared to the authorities. All this bad karma comes back around to you, dude. 39:20 - If some of these people would just use their skills to do good in the world, imagine how much better off we would be. 40:00 - Lock down your social media accounts to a reasonable amount of security and data sharing with these companies. Turn on your 2FA for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. 40:22 - If you’re in crypto and you're not securing things with 2FA, you’re in for some heartache. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. One of the best solutions is to maybe actually get a burner phone and a pre-paid SIM card and you don’t give that number to anyone and you use it solely for 2FA on that device. 41:50 - Outro SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @badcryptopod - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.

The cryptocurrency world is a lot like the wild, wild west. Pioneers and trailblazers are breaking new ground to serve humanity. All the while, scalliwags and ne’er-do-wells are seizing the opportunity to exploit those courageous enough to venture down the path. There are incredible tales both of untold wealth and unfathomable loss as the crypto story is still being written. One of these tales was thoroughly documented by author, Jamie Bartlett. His book, THE MISSING CRYPTOQUEEN: The Billion Dollar Cryptocurrency Con and the Woman Who Got Away with It, is a wild, true crime tale that you must hear about. Tales such as this prompt us to seek solutions, and as a victim of crypto theft himself, Jamie has thoughts on how regulation might curb at least some of the criminal behavior. He joins us today to discuss all this and more on episode #632 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. FULL SHOW NOTES: badco.in/632 TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 05:17 - We feel like the best podcasts tell the best stories. As the author of multiple books, your newest one is called The Missing Cryptoqueen: The Billion Dollar Cryptocurrency Con and the Woman Who Got Away with It. Tell us more. 05:56 - In 2014, Dr Ruja Ignatova says she has launched the next revolutionary cryptocurrency, better than Bitcoin, using multi-level marketing. As a highly credentialed financial and legal professional, Dr. Ruja scammed millions in the crypto community of about $4bln in OneCoin. 09:23 - It was the second biggest crypto in 2016, right? Bigger than Ethereum? Not exactly… 12:00 - Did she know it was a scam? 13:18 - The unraveling of the scheme and Dr. Ruja’s disappearance. 14:50 - Is there a screenplay of this story? A biopic? A Netflix series in the works? 15:50 - OneCoin was never listed on exchanges; the only place people could buy or sell was through the official website via multi-level marketing. 16:44 - How the OneCoin cryptocurrency multi-level marketing approach scammed millions of crypto novice people in a nascent industry. 18:32 - How did OneCoin work? 26:38 - Are we any closer to finding Dr. Ruja? What do you think has happened? Has she gone off and gotten plastic surgery, dropped weight, dyed her hair? 29:00 - Why is that your theory of her whereabouts? 30:46 - You wrote a book called The People vs Tech, which won the Orwell Prize and others. What can you say about the state of Big Tech right now versus the People, ‘cause it is not looking very good for team us? 32:23 - Do you regularly seek out other scams to help warn people, or did this just catch your attention to pursue and write about this? 38:28 - Is one-coin.org still the same OneCoin, or is there another? This is funny… 39:50 - If you see Dr. Ruja out, please report. 40:30 - What are you working on now? 41:15 - Outro SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @badcryptopod - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.

My name is Max. Max Pain. And in case you are wondering if the crypto world has encountered me yet? Some say yes. But some say no. What we know for sure is that Michael Saylor may be in trouble for tax fraud, Crypto.com accidentally transferred more than $10 million dollars to a customer, and Samsung hopes to open a crypto exchange in Korea next year. There are predictions and prognostications on what happens next with Bitcoin and the crypto market from experts, so-called experts and wanna-be experts. All I can tell you is you don’t want to meet me in a dark alley behind the exchange. You’re better off meeting those clowns from that horrible podcast.

How much does it cost to print printing press money, when printing presses go “brrrrrrr” and print money out of thin air? 07:05 - Harnessing stranded methane gas into mining power. Basically, when they can siphon cow farts, Bitcoin will be carbon neutral. 08:23 - Travis read that by the year 2046 - like every 12,068 years there is some sort of big massive die-off on the planet - and we’re 24 or 26 years away from that. But how can you even determine that? How do you know? 09:00 - There’s a link I followed from that story in the show notes; banking uses 56x more energy than Bitcoin, exposing the banking system as energy hungry, demonstrating Bitcoin is better for the planet and offers a million times more efficiency than the regular banking system. 11:11 - Travis shares his real life human 404 error experience with his car registration and tire repair in Puerto Rico; an example of the inefficiency of government. 13:04 - Bitcoin expert price predictions; depending on who you speak with. What are the things that are causing Bitcoin’s price movement? Well, the Federal Reserve, inflation, money printing. 14:04 - Bitcoin hasn’t been over $50k since Christmas 2021.

Ethereum is the second biggest thing in crypto, and it may one day flip Bitcoin in market cap. But the big news around Vitalik’s creation is the upcoming switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. We have questions and concerns about this major change in how the Ethereum chain will operate. So today we welcome Matt Cutler of Blocknative to the show to answer all our questions about the Ethereum merge. Someone call 911 because it’s an Ethmergency on episode #630 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. Full Show Notes at: 00:00 - Intro - Twitter and jokes; don’t miss 08:02 - Matt Cutler, CEO of Blocknative 08:43 - A pre-chan internet? Is that possible? Matt gives his history in the technology space 09:40 - What is Blocknative? 11:03 - When did you get on board with blockchain and crypto? 12:25 - Early introduction to the Internet, and a comparison to the current early cryptocurrency market and adoption. 14:18 - What’s broken with Ethereum that we even need to move from POW to POS? 15:12 - We need more scalability for transactions beyond the current 13-14 transactions per second. Matt explains. 16:50 - In order to get to a future state without sacrificing decentralization, Ethereum determined it would be best to move from POW to POS. 17:25 - In a POW system, you need to operate computers to solve problems on the network, which also require large amounts of energy to operate. Externalities include the conversion of cryptocurrency to fiat to afford operating the system. These are problems proof-of-stake can solve. 18:45 - Reduced energy impact of operating the network is a benefit. 19:45 - What is the easiest, dumbed down way to explain the Ethereum Merge? 22:28 - What are we going to see? Are we going to see lower gas fees? 24:48 - Is there going to be a time where the Ethereum miners are going to be upset and earning less money? Will that cause people to flock to Ethereum Classic? 28:51 - Miles Sudor makes the case this merge is extremely dangerous for some of the reasons you mentioned, including UDC basically decides which chain wins and which chain loses. All of this introduces due to the OFAC regulation that base layer protocol censorship would be introduced on Ethereum, meaning very centralized crypto, which is not what Ethereum was intended to be. What are your thoughts on that? 36:41 - According to my research, there are over 4,000 ERC-20 tokens. What about those tokens? Will the Merge be noticeable to them? Will they have to upgrade their tokens? 42:32 - Let’s play a game here, and I want you to think about a nightmare scenario. What is the worst thing that could happen if everything goes belly-up here? 43:30 - The nightmare scenario for any chain - Bitcoin, Ethereum - is that the network stops producing blocks. 45:18 - This is a big event in technology. 45:55 - What’s the best case scenario? People are saying this is like a triple-halvening. 49:25 - What is Vitalik saying about the Merge? 49:50 - What should people be thinking about doing now, because if it is proof of stake, where and how should we be staking our Ethereum to earn other Ethereum? What are the parameters around that and how does that work? 51:00 - How do people stake? 01:00:00 - Outro with Joel’s golf story SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @badcryptopod - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.

As blockchain development continues forward, there is a greater need for tools that make it simple for developers to roll out DApps. Some chains are more favorable than others to accomplish this goal, and the creators of Polkadot intend to lead the way. One team taking advantage of PolkaDot’s capabilities is Gear Technologies. They have created a system that helps developers deploy dapps faster than you can say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

One of the subjects that arises again and again in the crypto world is regulation. With so many rug pulls, scams and ways for consumers to lose money in the space, the US Securities and Exchange commission is hard at work attempting to bring about regulation that will help stabilize the space. Today we are delighted to welcome the SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce to the show to answer many of our burning questions. Of course, she can’t talk about pending investigations, but with her stance on crypto, we found the conversation on the government’s role in regulation to be quite refreshing. This show is NOT regulated, but we do like to stay regular. A little bit of fiber goes a long way. Welcome to episode #627 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Bitcoin and crypto seem to be finding their legs back again after a brutal downturn. Is this the beginning of the bull market or just another bull trap? We don’t know. But we do know that Bitcoin and crypto are a global revolution. And we’ve got news from around the world today to discuss this phenomenon.

From Craig Wright to Hal Finney, we’ve entertained many a notion of who this brilliant and elusive genius really is. Today, we may have found the answer. Ivy McLemore is a journalist who has been hot on the trail of Satoshi. The trail has led him to a British man whose name we will reveal in this episode. Ivy methodically provides all the verifiable facts and data surrounding his research in a new book titled “Finding Satoshi”, and today we have him on the show to discuss this controversial topic.

What We've Learned in Five Years of The Bad Crypto Podcast Life comes at you fast, and so does crypto. It seems like just yesterday that Travis and I discussed creating a podcast to help regular folks like us understand the emerging blockchain world. And in the blink of an eye, five years have passed. We’re incredibly grateful for the fantastic audience and community that has been created in the Republic of Bad Cryptopia. Going down the rabbit hole has been educational for us, and we hope for you as well. Needless to say, we’ve learned quite a bit about the technology we cover, the people in the space, investing, web3 and so much more. Today, we share our thoughts on some of the things we’ve learned on this journey. I think you’ll discover that five years in, we’re still bad. It’s literally baked into the title of the show on episode #623 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Greetings comrades. This is Vladimir Putin, President of Russia. I am here to tell you that I have banned ze bitcoin from being used as legal tender in Russia. I’m sure this will stop all citizens from using the evil cryptocurrency. I am commandeering this show to tell you more about this very important news, and maybe will also tell you about other news. My plan to eliminate decentralized crypto begins with a hostile takeover of this show. I guess it’s really bad news for Joel and Travis on episode #622 of Bad Crypto Podcast.

If you’ve been in the crypto space or observed it for any amount of time, what would you think is most missing from the blockchain world? Is it regulation? How about transparency? According to some, one of the biggest problems with the space is that it’s one big sausage fest. No, we’re not saying blockchain should become vegan, not that there’s anything wrong with that. We’re talking about male domination. It’s not by design… it’s just that men tend to lead the way with technology. But the industry is growing up and incredibly smart, creative and talented women are now leading the way as well. Today we welcome one such woman to the show. As Producer of this very show for almost four years, Erin Cell is now the co-host of The Nifty Chicks podcast. She’s had an interesting journey down the rabbit hole and is passionate about helping onboard women into the crypto world. We can’t pretend to know what women want, but we can define what a woman is. For those who need a refresher, a woman is a female adult human being. Join us in welcoming female adult human Erin Cell to episode #620 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
