The Bitcoin Podcast

In Episode 34 of The Bull Pen Podcast, The Crypto Bully steps into the Bull Pen with Jeremy Horton (CEO) and Stephen Harano (COO Lead Analyst) of Block Society.

Extra protection for the consumer and no annoying disclaimer saying, “This is not financial advice.” Jeremy and Stephen go into detail with Lyndon on what it took to accomplish this with the SEC and the battles they still face even after obtaining this status. They also break down the fundamentals and technical analysis on where they believe Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency market is headed soon.

Dee and Cello talk shop about price, adoption and more in another exciting episode. We get into the weeds about needing options for people with different needs, concerning decentralization. Hybrid options should be very important in the future, too. Traditionally we only had 1 option: forgoing control and privacy into the hands of a few centralized entities. So the introduction of decentralization is definitely a big step, in the right direction. Or perhaps, a Crypto powder room? It's all explained in another episode as we are joined by the community who have questions about EOS, BAT, and more.

We get a glimpse into the future of blockchain automation, and he elucidates what is being done right and what could be done better in blockchain platforms to place security first in smart contract design.

In Episode 33 of The Bull Pen Podcast, part 1 of a 2-part series, The Crypto Bully steps into the Bull Pen with Morgan Steckler who is the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of iTrustCapital. As Morgan hops onto the call Lyndon expects for things to be “business-as-usual” in comparison how his podcast conversations generally go, but that was in NO WAY how things panned out. Completely unexpected, Morgan starts to go into detail on the things that took place on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, and caught Lyndon by complete surprise hearing that Morgan was unfortunately sim swapped and then swatted. These happening along with why Morgan believed they took place points out a frightening yet important reality on being involved in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space that is sometimes overlooked.
