The Bitcoin halving of 2020 has come in gone, and perhaps now we are beginning to see the effects of the difficulty adjustment as the price of Bitcoin increases.  Prior to the event, we spoke with CPA Matt D’Souza to discuss what would happen next.  We discussed mining gear and why this is just one more step towards Bitcoin becoming true digital gold. So grab your pick and shovel. Even though it won’t do you any good where Bitcoin mining is concerned, let’s face it. You look badass holding them.  Welcome to episode #430 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

There’s a coin shortage happening in the United States right now. And it’s impacting how businesses are operating. It’s also providing an excellent time for crypto to shine. Case in point, Mastercard is finally making moves into the cryptocurrency world. The Former Chairman of the CFTC makes the case for the digital dollar. And Coinbase steps in to stop a major hack. The Blockchain Heroes have arrived sooner than anticipated, but not in the way you think. Finally, Jonathan Keim from Cryptocurrency Wire joins us to discuss John McAfee’s super ghosty new project. Price of one Bitcoin? $9500. Price of one BADcoin?  One satoshi. Mastercard getting into crypto? Priceless. This is our Bad News episode #429 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.   http://badco.in/429   Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Covid-19. Lockdowns. Protests. Riots. Murder Hornets. 2020 has just been loads of fun, hasn’t it? Well let’s throw in a massive scheme to steal Bitcoin from people through influential Twitter accounts for good measure. That’s what happened this week and we’ve got the details. A Texas man allegedly used $1.1M in COVID-19 relief funds to buy crypto.  Two crypto promoters were found dead in Mexico. And a Japanese banking giant is planning on launching their own stablecoin in 2020. Finally, the non-fungible token world was shaken again as the Joe Exotic parody set of Garbage Pail Kids sells out in just one hour. It was that bitch Carol Baskin that dun it! We’ve made it halfway through 2020, and we’ve also made it to the 3rd anniversary of Bad Crypto… almost.

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. Get in tune and come along for a wild ride with us on episode #426 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

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.

One trader says Bitcoin dropping to the $6000 “golden pocket” isn’t bearish. Yet 42% of investors expect a $15,000 Bitcoin price before the year is out. The U.S. moves one step closer to a digital dollar at the same time that US Senators introduce a very anti-privacy bill.  Which app has been caught snooping on your data and what can you do about it? An Israeli blockchain startup claims it has created an “undo” button for BTC transactions.  Russia, Estonia and India are also in the news this week, so pack your bags and get ready for some mask-free travel around the world for this Bad News episode #423 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  http://badco.in/423Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bitcoin has its fair share of cheerleaders, but few are as consistent as Tim Draper. An eternal optimist when it comes to the practical use for and eventual price of Bitcoin, Tim is one of those guys you want on your team. At Virtual Blockchain Week we had the opportunity to do a one-on-one with Tim and he was incredibly generous with his answers and his time. He is here to pump you up! A new documentary about crypto is hitting cable TV this weekend. And Binance is asking people to nominate their favorite influencers for an award. I’m not sure if we qualify because there may not be a BAD influencer award.  So hop on the Bad train for episode #422 of The Bad Crypto Podcast Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/422 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.
