The Alpha and Omega with Theta and Delta
Alpha means beginning. Omega means ending. This show will have both, an Alpha and an Omega. But as long as we’re going down the greek rabbit hole, let’s toss some Delta and Theta in for good measure. Today we welcome Kyle Laffey from Theta.tv to the show to discuss the future of decentralized live streaming video. And then Nicholas van Hoorde from the Delta app joins us to share how this app provides a great alternative to Blockfolio and other crypto trackers. Did you get your Blockchain Heroes trading cards? If not, you can’t get them from us as everything sold out super fast. But that doesn’t mean you are completely left out. We’ll share more about the blockbuster sale and how you can still play. So join us in the beginning and we pledge to bring you through to the other side as you were… kind of like corn. This is episode #434 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Bitcoin and Gold on the Rise as Dollar Falls - Bad News For Thursday, Aug 6th
What do Bitcoin & Gold have to do with each other? Find out in this Bad News episode of the Bad Crypto Podcast. As Bitcoin once again is close to testing $12,000, or maybe already has by the time this episode is released, one of the Winklevi suggests the next bull run will be much different. That’s good because the United States has printed more money in the last month than in the last TWO centuries! Remember the Twitter hack that took place a month ago? A seventeen-year-old has been arrested in conjunction with this hack. A major collectible launch is getting ready to take place in just a couple days, and the founders refuse to take dirty fiat for the product… crypto only. Who could that be? Questions. Answers. And News. It’s better than a sharp stick in the eye but not as nice as two scoops of chocolate mint ice cream. Welcome to our bad news episode #433 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Shredding Fiat Currency with Max Keiser
At the rate the Federal Reserve is printing money, it won’t surprise anyone when the dollar eventually crumbles. Max Keiser is taking a pro-active stance on making fiat worthless. Hand him a twenty and see what happens. It’s been a couple years since we first spoke with the co-host of The Keiser Report so we thought it was a good time to catch up and get his current thoughts on life, the Universe and everything. Hold on to your fiat if you don’t want Max to shred it, but where we’re going you won’t need it anyhow. This episode has it all, including original ukulele serenades.

Is Bitcoin the New Apple?
If you thought you’d seen all the drama from the US Presidential race that you could handle for the year, 2020 continues its run of surprises as Kanye West and Brock Pierce toss their hats into the ring. Dogecoin makes a surprise run due to one major social app talking about it. And some key indicators could point to Bitcoin being the new “Apple” of investments. Venezuelan authorities are doing what power-hungry people do, seizing over 300 Bitcoin mining devices from citizens. And a UNICEF crypto fund intends to invest a fat stack of cash in humanitarian blockchain projects. If I had something funny to say, I’d say it right here. So just tell yourself a joke that makes you laugh, pretend you heard it hear first and let’s fire things up for our Bad News episode #425 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. http://badco.in/425Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
