Is Avalanche the World’s Fastest Smart Contract Blockchain?

Is Avalanche the World’s Fastest Smart Contract Blockchain? Jay Kurahashi-Sofue, VP Marketing, Ava Labs Continuing our series of exploring other blockchains, we stick to the beginning of the alphabet to check out one of the newer players on the scene, Avalanche. And while still relatively new, the AVAX token has broken into the Coin Gecko Top 10.  In episode 593, we visit with Jay Kurahashi-Sofue, VP of Marketing at Ava Labs, to challenge their assertion that Avalanche is the world’s fastest smart-contract blockchain.  Don’t worry, we aren’t confrontational, but we do have questions. Questioning everything is what we do, because we really just don’t know.  And it’s how we learn. So learn along with us as we continue with an avalanche of content for your ears on episode #593 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

The Crypto Renaissance with Josh Rosenthal, PhD

They say history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.  According to today’s guest, we are in the midst of the greatest Renaissance, since the, well, The Renaissance.  Welcome to the Crypto Renaissance.  It parallels the original Renaissance in many ways… NFTs are the new masterpieces and NFT collectors are the new Medici family of patreons.  In episode 590, we welcome Josh Rosenthal, PhD, a former Late Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation historian turned repeat crypto-first investor.  This interview is unlike any other we have done before it, so it’s not Renaissance-y in that sense, but we are all up in the middle ages and the present day in this going medieval on that ass, Episode #590 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jayden Sage in the Land of Infinity

Jayden Sage in the Land of Infinity Ground control to Major Tom. Ground control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. And while you’re at it, eat a few ears of corn. It’s awesome space food. In episode 589, we discuss deep space ventures and their connection to blockchain. Jayden Sage is one who knows about these things. As usual, our questions are unprepared and unscripted. Sometimes the questions are great. Sometimes they are just okay. But Jayden’s answers and insights are fantastic. And there is a lot of laughter, but since we’re not as funny as we think we are, you are not allowed to laugh. Just allow the milk, coffee or beverage of choice to come out through your nose if you feel the urge. But don’t laugh.

Art on the Blockchain Revisited with Vesa

Art on the Blockchain Revisited with Vesa As we rapidly approach the fifth anniversary of this podcast, it’s amazing to us how quickly time has flown by. We thought it was a great time to invite Vesa back to see what’s changed and what has stayed the same. We get into some deep stuff about the nature of art and how NFTs are changing the game. One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small. Take them both and you end up just where you started. There, I’ve created derivative art with my words. And now we are going to create more art words with our friend Vesa on this artsy-fartsy episode #588 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/588 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @BadCrypto - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DONATE CRYPTO TO THE SHOW:If you'd like to donate a bit of cryptocurrency to The Bad Crypto Podcast, feel free to send copious amounts to the following locations: $BTC: Bitcoin: 3GMgCH4dFUHSLdrPnLwEsfKPVnLnoGbzGZ$ETH Ethereum: 0x1ccE8A04fa6743eD1D24cA063c7543D43B42F328$LTC Litecoin: LavXqTWVHebEgVhBXdg3Hue3xEAmgtxLgr$DOGE Dogecoin: DMngvNMX1U8Sg8PkDjCC3UTS8Mmn9RqTP5 DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.

How to Keep Your Ethereum Wallet Private with Alan Scott, Railgun

How to Keep Your Ethereum Wallet Private with Alan Scott, Railgun Privacy is something all humans instinctively value. It is a well-recognized human right, and even those who deny it to others expect it for themselves. Privacy and anonymity should be the default, not the exception. Your consent should be needed before your personal or financial details are revealed to any would-be voyeur.  This is the vision statement of Railgun, a new privacy-based technology that allows you to make your Ethereum wallet, the tokens in that wallet AND your NFTs unavailable to prying eyes.  In episode 586, we welcome Alan Scott of Railgun to the show to discuss all things privacy and how this new technology delivers on its promises.

A Fireside Chat with Eryka Gemma

A Fireside Chat with Eryka Gemma Remember a couple of episodes back when Eryka Gemma moderated a fireside chat with us at The North American Bitcoin Conference, and we said words about things? Well, we just couldn’t stay away and we’ve invited her to this show to say more words. In episode 585, we discuss Eryka Gemma's journey down the crypto rabbit hole, how she founded the first Bitcoin Center in Miami in 2018, and the state of the world, highlighted by why crypto is just so darned important to our freedom.   Caution, the show you are about to hear features opinions, delivered by opinionated people. Those opinions may not be popular.  Whatever. If you are offended by other peoples’ opinions, you should probably just blindfold yourself so as to not see anything and tape headphones playing Kenny G on replay over your ears so you won’t hear anything you might disagree with. Otherwise, we’re glad you are here for episode #585 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full show notes: Badco.in/585 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @BadCrypto - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DONATE CRYPTO TO THE SHOW:If you'd like to donate a bit of cryptocurrency to The Bad Crypto Podcast, feel free to send copious amounts to the following locations: $BTC: Bitcoin: 3GMgCH4dFUHSLdrPnLwEsfKPVnLnoGbzGZ$ETH Ethereum: 0x1ccE8A04fa6743eD1D24cA063c7543D43B42F328$LTC Litecoin: LavXqTWVHebEgVhBXdg3Hue3xEAmgtxLgr$DOGE Dogecoin: DMngvNMX1U8Sg8PkDjCC3UTS8Mmn9RqTP5 DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.
