GameStop Stops Wall Street - Bad News for Jan 28th
GameStop Stops Wall Street - Bad News for Jan 28th Bitcoin momentarily dipped under $30,000 only to recover to $32,000. Who’s in charge of the market right now? The bears or the bulls? An amazing case study in the power of the people happened this week as Wall Street shorters were caught by the shorts when a subreddit moved GameStop’s stock from $20 to over $400. And the powers that be have responded as heavy-handed as you would expect. And major Universities are moving endowment funds into crypto. Perhaps our institutions of higher education are finally learning something? A penny saved is no longer a penny earned, because that penny is worthless and less every year. But here in the Republic of Bad Cryptopia, a Satoshi saved is a Satoshi earned. So stack those sats and sat right there for our Bad News episode #482 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Janet is Yellen about Crypto - Bad News For Jan 21st
Janet is Yellen about Crypto - Bad News For Jan 21st If anyone can mess up the fight for freedom and decentralization, it’s the government. Need more proof? Biden’s nomination for Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, referred to cryptocurrencies as being used for “illicit financing” and the markets responded with fear. At the same time, Joe is putting a halt to FinCEN’s proposed crypto wallet regulations, which could be a good thing. Goldman Sachs is looking to enter the crypto custody arena, Craig Wright threatens people with words, and Travis has met his match when it comes to losing Bitcoin. Wait until you hear what a man who threw away a hard drive containing 7500 Bitcoins in 2013 is willing to do to retrieve it. We’ve got some artsy stories as well. And we’ve got some fartsy stories. So breath deep and enjoy all the artsy-fartsy goodness on our bad news episode #480 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Bitcoin is Dead. Bitcoin is Alive! Bad News For Jan 14th
Bitcoin is Dead. Bitcoin is Alive! Bad News For Jan 14th Since our last news episode, Bitcoin has died once again. It went from almost $42,000 to $32,000 in a flash crash. Some people panicked and mourned the demise of Satoshi’s creation. But for those of us who have been around for a while, we just smiled and waited. It didn’t take long, because 3 days later Bitcoin soared back up to $40,000. Dead, my ass. Pantera Capital says Bitcoin will reach $115,000 by August of this year. The Biden administration is prepping a 3 trillion dollar stimulus package. What will that mean to the price of Bitcoin? And now Elon Musk has overtaken Jeff Bezos to become the world’s richest man. In episode 478, we celebrate Peter Schiff being wrong… again… So it’s a good day to talk about all the news in the crypto world.

Enter the Encyclosphere with Larry Sanger
Enter the Encyclosphere with Larry Sanger The internet is rife with misinformation. Fake and biased news. So-called fact-checkers that are nothing more than political activists. Snopes. And then there’s Wikipedia. Yes, there are people out there that think Wikipedia is a trust-worthy source for information. If you are one of them, we’re sorry to say that your bubble is going to be burst today as we welcome Larry Sanger to the show. The Co-Founder of Wikipedia, Larry has much to say about what’s really taking place there and provides a vision for how we can overcome this era of false information to build a truly useful and decentralized encyclosphere.

Is This the End of Ripple? Bad News For Dec 30th
Just when you thought the SEC was done harassing crypto projects for the year, Chairman Jay Clayton dropped the hammer on Ripple, stating that the company offered an illegal security. As a result, the price has tanked. Not so for Bitcoin as $29,000 is looking good and the magical $30,000 level not too far behind. This is Bitcoin’s longest winning streak since 2019 and whales are jumping on board at an unprecedented rate. An NFL player is receiving half of his salary in Bitcoin, many are wondering if an Alt-coin season is on the way and we’ve got a big announcement regarding a partnership with one of the top Dapps on Dappradar. This is our last show for 2020 and we say look forward optimistically to 2021 as new years are a time for reflection, release and anticipation for what comes next.
