The Bad Crypto Podcast

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. So prepare to beam up for our Bad News episode #421 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  http://badcryptopodcast.com http://badco.in/421  Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Along with our friends at Cointelegraph.com, we’re pleased to bring you this Bad News episode #417 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Bitcoin surged past $10,000 on Monday only to come crashing back down to $9400 on Tuesday. It’s what some refer to as the Bart Simpson chart. We just refer to it as another day in crypto. And on today’s show we welcome back Bitcoin OG Brock Pierce. We had the opportunity to chat with Brock at Virtual Blockchain Week and posed some interesting questions about the future of blockchain, cryptocurrency and decentralization. Sharif may not like it, but we’re about to Brock the Casbah on episode #414 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you feel the ground shake? I’m not referencing the latest California earthquake. Those happen all the time. I’m talking about a little project that quietly launched a couple weeks ago which set the new standard for digital collectibles on blockchain. We’ve got names for those held responsible. Nasty Nick, Fryin’ Bryan, Kim Kong, Bony Joanie and Adam Bomb are just a few of the 82 now being held for questioning. If those names sound familiar, you may have grown up in the eighties and collected Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. The very same cards from the Topps organization were released on the WAX blockchain, sold out in just over one day and now have a secondary market that you won’t believe. Today we are joined by Evan Vandenberg, Director of Business Development at WAX to discuss this launch and what it means for the future of digital collectibles. And speaking of NFTs we also check in with Jesse Reich from the collectible trading card game, Splinterlands. Now the top Dapp on Dappradar.com, we can learn a lot about what is working in this new space. Dust off your eighties vinyl and put some mousse in your hair for episode #413 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/413 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.

You’ve heard of the top 1%, but is it possible you are in the top 0.5%? If you’ve got at least 10 Bitcoin in your wallet, you are. Bitcoin has also topped $9000 again. Is the move to $10K finally in sight? And China intends to use their new digital currency to compete with the us dollar. One hedge fund manager says the government may make it illegal to hold gold, while a Trump nominee for the Federal reserve envisions that a gold-backed crypto currency could become a thing. The Brave browser has beaten Zoom to the punch for encrypted video calls, and Cryptokitties will soon be playing hoops. We’ve got a lot of nifty news and nifty things to discuss, as well as the launch of a nifty new show. It’s our super awesome crazy ridiculous yet somehow still just a little serious nifty Bad News episode #412 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
