And even tether is being wonky.   What does all this mean to the world of crypto and blockchain?

It seems a week doesn't go by that we don't hear about someone in the crypto space losing their crypto or NFTs to scammers, hackers and other ne'er do wells. Back in 2017 we talked about how Travis got hacked and almost lost his cryptos. Kevin Rose lost $1,000,000 in NFTs in a wallet draining attack just last month. And now it's finally happened. I got phished.  It was an incredibly stupid mistake that could have and should have been avoided. But it's what happened subsequently that I find the most disturbing. Most of all, it's proof that it can happen to absolutely anyone. Today we talk about how you can protect yourself through technology and hyper awareness. On our Joel doesn't meet Trey Anastasio but still gets phished. Episode number 670. Of the Bad Crypto podcast.

2023 has been the year that artificial intelligence has gone mainstream. Not in an "everyone is using it" kind of way, but an "everyone is talking about it" kind of way. And if the ramp up on usage of tools like Chat GPT and Midjourney are any indication, the A.I. industry is about to experience a boom that will parallel the rise of the Internet and mobile phone adoption. Today we go down the rabbit hole of A.I. and explore some of the tools that are available, as well as some of the tools that will soon be heading your way. This is our A.I. centric, is it live or is it Memorex? Episode number 669 of the Bad Crypto Podcast.

The thing about stablecoins is that they are designed to be stable.  When all else fails in the crypto market, $1 should equal $1.  That is, until they don’t. Like if you are Do Kwon and your UST collapses by pegging your currency to an overleveraged crypto. Or, until the SEC gets involved and brings instability to the space.  Crypto staking is also in the sights of the government as rumors circle about circle’s USDC.  Is Coinbase ready for a battle?  And Senator Cruz may be on to something as he proposes vending machines in the Capital building that take crypto as payment. We like snacks. And we like you. Thanks for joining us for our Stablecoin Crackdown episode #668 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

A young man walks into a bar and says “gimme a vodka tonic”. Unsure of the man’s age, the bartender must ask to see his identification in order to prove he is old enough to drink. What if the bartender knew from the blockchain that the guy was old enough without even asking for an ID?  He would be accepting proof with no knowledge of actually having seen the proof.  That’s zero knowledge proof… or ZKP. Today on the show we welcome Dor Garbash of the Mina Foundation to discuss ZKPs and why they are essential to building a web3 future with privacy and scalability in mind.   By the time we are done, you will have proof that you’ve got some knowledge of zero knowledge proof on episode #668 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/ 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 BE A FEATURED GUEST: http://badco.in/apply   DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.
