The Bad Crypto Podcast

By a show of hands, how many of you collected some kind of trading card when you were little? How many are still collecting trading cards today?  Whether baseball, star wars, Marvel, Garbage Pail Kids or something else, odds are you have purchased from the Topps brand. And with the digitization of the Garbage Pail Kids brand on the WAX blockchain, Topps has entered a whole new era.  Today we are excited to welcome Tobin Lent, VP and General Manager of Digital at Topps to join us for a nerdy, geeky conversation about collectibles and blockchain. So open up a pack of cards, but don’t expect a stick of chewing gum. This is episode #424 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

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.

Fewer things are more important to blockchain and crypto going mainstream than for mainstream businesses to adopt the tech. Makes sense, right? In this weeks news, we’ll share how Paypal, Venmo and 7-11 are all making moves towards that adoption. Max Keiser says protesting does nothing, but says the best protest is to buy Bitcoin.  And William Shatner, yes, THAT William Shatner, is tokenizing his memorabilia on the WAX blockchain. That, and much more, lies ahead today.

Let’s play good news/bad news… More whales are holding bitcoin than we’ve seen in a long time. But some say we are overdue for a Bitcoin correction. Bitcoin is a silent protest against governments everywhere. But cybercrime is up 75% during Covid-19. The nation of Kazakhstan Seeks to Attract $740 Million Crypto Investment in Three Years. And you can put this in whichever column you think best fits… The former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles says that Craig Wright is 'Either a Thief or a Fraud'.  Whether good news or bad news, it’s all interesting to us as we love the emerging blockchain world.  And whether you are new to crypto or an OG, we’re happy you have chosen to join us for our Bad News episode #419 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. http://badco.in/419Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Only a small number of venture capitalists have taken blockchain technology as seriously as David Pakman. Not to be confused with the hungry, yellow video game character of the same name, David is a visionary VC who helped found Apple’s music group and led early funding for CryptoKitties. But like the little fella scrambling across the screen to gobble up dots and avoid ghosts, David seeks to invest in the blockchain gems and watch out for bad deals. He’s with us today and we think you’ll enjoy the conversation. Also, it’s encouraging to see blockchain tools for business owners on the rise. We’re happy to chat with Gil Hildebrand from Gilded.finance about their tool that allows business owners to transact on blockchain more easily. Drop another quarter into the slot and prepare to walka-walka-walka your way through episode #418 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What caused Bitcoin to tumble $800 on Thursday? It could be the whale that moves $1.3 billion in Bitcoin… and no one knows why. Bitcoin is still outperforming stocks and Vitalik makes a really great point on Twitter about the stock market and the crypto markets. Brave Browser got caught in the act doing something that is widely frowned upon. A podcast host lost all his Bitcoin with one simple mistake… and no, it’s not Travis or myself. And the big announcement we’ve been alluding to is now public. The Blockchain Heroes have arrived! More about that as we present you with a special commemorative NFT in today’s show. Also, DiviProject has been flying high and we’ve got Nick Saponora with us today to tell us what’s happening at Masternode central.

The first year of marriage can be a time of wedded bliss. But what happens when one of the first things you do as a couple is commit to paying all your living expenses for 3 months only using Bitcoin? It might not sound daunting, but lets say the year is 2013.  Changes the picture just a bit, doesn’t it? That’s exactly what Austin Craig and his wife Beccy did. And they documented the whole process, creating a film titled Life on Bitcoin in the process.  Today we speak with Austin to discover what he learned during this challenge. We also catch up with our friend Dirk Lueth from Upland.me to find out about the latest developments in our favorite virtual property blockchain game. After listening you might want to try living your life on BadCoin.  Or maybe not.  It’s episode #416 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Bitcoin strives to find its new base of $10,000, altcoins are coming back to life. Is it possible that the long-awaited alt-season is finally upon us? Another possible Satoshi has surfaced. We’ll tell you who it is and why this could be the one. And Vitalik tells CZ that he needs to think bigger after CZ shared how cryptocurrency can be seen as protest money. We’ve got all the big news from the crypto world and a hint at some VERY big news within the Republic of Bad Cryptopia.  Welcome to our Bad News episode #415 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/415 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunes Google Podcasts: http://badco.in/google Spotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @BadCrypto - @joelcomm - @teedubya Facebook:  /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyaw Facebook Mastermind Group: /BadCrypto LinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubya Instagram: @BadCryptoPodcast Email: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]com Phone: 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. Joel Comm and Travis Wright are NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS.
