As blockchain development continues forward, there is a greater need for tools that make it simple for developers to roll out DApps. Some chains are more favorable than others to accomplish this goal, and the creators of Polkadot intend to lead the way. One team taking advantage of PolkaDot’s capabilities is Gear Technologies.  They have created a system that helps developers deploy dapps faster than you can say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. We discover the benefits of PolkaDot and you may just discover what that super long word means on episode #628 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/411 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.

One of the subjects that arises again and again in the crypto world is regulation. With so many rug pulls, scams and ways for consumers to lose money in the space, the US Securities and Exchange commission is hard at work attempting to bring about regulation that will help stabilize the space. Today we are delighted to welcome the SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce to the show to answer many of our burning questions. Of course, she can’t talk about pending investigations, but with her stance on crypto, we found the conversation on the government’s role in regulation to be quite refreshing. This show is NOT regulated, but we do like to stay regular. A little bit of fiber goes a long way.  Welcome to episode #627 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Over the years, many have speculated as to the identity of the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of the Bitcoin whitepaper. From Craig Wright to Hal Finney, we’ve entertained many a notion of who this brilliant and elusive genius really is. Today, we may have found the answer. Ivy McLemore is a journalist who has been hot on the trail of Satoshi. The trail has led him to a British man whose name we will reveal in this episode. Ivy methodically provides all the verifiable facts and data surrounding his research in a new book titled “Finding Satoshi”, and today we have him on the show to discuss this controversial topic. Are you ready to examine the evidence for yourself? We’re just the conduit for the messenger on episode #624 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

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.

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.
