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.  Full Show notes: badco.in/623SUBSCRIBE, 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.

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.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/622 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.

Vit Jedlicka, President of Liberland With the global elites attempting to control how the nearly 8 billion people of the world should live their lives, there are freedom and liberty-focused people that believe we should live and let live. And some of them are dedicating their efforts to making that a reality.  One such individual it Vit Yedlichka, President of The Free Republic of Liberland, a very small sovereign state located between Croatia and Serbia on the west bank of the Danube River. It’s not a joke. It’s real. And we’ve really got Vit here today to discuss the hows and whys of forming a nation and how you can become a founding father… or mother. All hail Liberland on episode #621 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.   Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/621 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.

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.  Full Show Notes at: badco.in/620 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.

Welcome to the Metaverse, your name here. Please take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable. In the metaverse, all your needs will be tended to. You will work, play, live, eat, sleep, breathe and poop, all from the confines of your virtual world. What is this Metaverse thing all about? If you have a VR headset, put one on now. If you don’t, put on your pretend VR headset. You know, like the one your kindergarten teacher told you to wear.  Today, we welcome Cathy Hackl, the Godmother of the Metaverse, to share what the metaverse is all about and how soon we will be entering into a utopian paradise of dystopian hellscape. Let’s get Meta, but not that shitty Facebook brand, on today’s episode #619 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/619 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.

Hackers. Viruses. Malware. There must be more than 50 ways to lose your crypto. But one of the ways is when you voluntarily hand it over to criminals demanding a ransom. This can be the result of Ransomware.   What is this insidious method of extracting money from people, how did it come to be and how are you and your data at risk? Today we are joined by Trent Fowler, an expert in the area of Ransomware. You’ll want to know what it is and how you can protect yourself. It’s a little dark, but we try to keep it light on episode #618 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/618 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.

Inflation. Crypto crashes. Currency wars. Land wars. Star Wars. These are crazy times and it’s said in an insane society the sane man must appear insane. Whether or not we are sane or insane is up for debate, but we think today’s guest at least appears sane. Wait, does that mean he is insane? We don’t know, but what we do know is that Bill Tai is a really interesting guy. As an incredibly successful venture capitalist who has help fund many unicorns, his take on today’s current events is quite valuable. He may not be the science guy, but he is Bill Tai, and he’s with us today on episode #617 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full show notes: badco.in/617 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.

Bad News in Space(s) for June 19, 2022 From time to time, we do a news-centric episode of this show. Five years into this podcast and we still like to experiment with new ideas. At the behest of Sir Lord Travis, we decided to do news in a LIVE Twitter Spaces this week. Not only did we cover important stories, but we invited some in the audience to share their thoughts as well. Thanks to Twitter we have the replay, and are pleased to bring it to you now in an edited format. It’s Bad News done a little less bad as you get all up in our Spaces on episode #616 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/616SUBSCRIBE, 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.

Are the markets as bad as they look? Yeppp. They’re that bad. First we got LUNA, then we got out-of-control inflation, now a Celsius shit show. The whole thing is a shit show. In fact, today’s conversation between myself and Sir Lord Travis Wright is probably going to be nothing more than a shit show.

An Open Conversation with Janice McAfee In the history of this podcast, there are only a handful of people who have been on more than once. But there’s only one man who visited with us FIVE times. That would be enigmatic and mysterious John McAfee.  Reported dead by suicide in a Spanish prison in June of 2021, there are still many questions around his life and his death. Today we are honored and privileged to welcome John’s wife, Janice McAfee to the show, to discuss these questions. It’s a very sensitive and compelling conservation surrounding the man, the mystery and Janice’s ongoing struggle to have John’s body released so she may have a proper burial. As John was a friend of the show for years, we welcome Janice with the same spirit and invite you to join us as the story continues to unfold on this episode #614 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
