On July 18th we celebrated the 4th anniversary of this show. Over the past four years, we’ve seen crypto go up and crypto go down. We’ve had the opportunity to interview some of the greatest minds in the blockchain and crypto world. And we’ve been blessed to see the Republic of Bad Cryptopia grow to be a vibrant, active community. In episode 534, we take a walk down memory lane, remember some of the great guests (not so great guests) we’ve had on the show, and read some listener feedback.

The Blockchain Developer Toolbox with Michael Godsey In the beginning, Blockchain developers didn’t really have tools to build out applications. They had code and computers, and they figured it out.

Today we are pleased to welcome Michael Godsey of Infura to the show.  They’ve developed a suite of tools that devs from a decade ago wish they had had.

Remembering John McAfee The older you get the more you realize that life is indeed short. While the meme featuring Dwight Shrute says “false, it’s the longest thing you do”, it’s true that our time on this planet is brief, especially in relation to the history of the universe. A couple of weeks ago we all heard the news that John McAfee, an icon in the tech and blockchain space, and a colorful character who marched to the beat of his own drummer, had died. Over the past four years, John became a friend of this show and graced us with his time, his thoughts, and his laughter, five different times. In this episode we take a walk down memory lane and reflect on some of the content John shared with us, punctuated by our thoughts on the same.  With a loving nod to his widow Janice McAfee, we welcome you to this John McAfee tribute episode #521 of The Bad Crypto Crypto podcast.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
