Swipe technology has changed the way we consume content. Whether flipping through reels on Instagram, the vacuous communist hellhole known as Tik-Tok, or swiping left or right for dates on Tinder, how you swipe determines your choice.  Today we welcome one of the founders of Tinder and Bumble to the show to discuss how those apps have impacted our society, as well as to introduce a new Web3 social app designed to empower users.

How were your relationships impacted at the time?  10:00 - There are certainly critics out there that would say Tinder, Bumble and the apps of that nature have killed romance because people don’t have a chance to meet organically anymore.

Nine years ago, Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus founded Dogecoin. Initially intended as a joke memecoin, Doge has taken on a life of its own.

That is changing as Dogechain has entered the space. Designed for NFTs, Games, DeFi and more, Dogechain intends to provide utility to Dogecoin.  Today we welcome Roc Zacharias to learn more.
