A Very Billy Zane Christmas Special
Ho ho ho.. It’s Christmas time once again boys and girls. We hope that Crypto Santa has been good to all the citizens of Bad Cryptopia. And we’ve got a special gift episode for you today. When in Luxembourg at the GVS Summit last month, I had the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with legendary actor, Billy Zane. Not only is Billy an accomplished actor, but he’s also a savvy businessman and painter. Oh, and he gets crypto. We talked a little about all these topics and we think you’re really going to enjoy it. And back for a third time, we’ll bring you our original 12 Days of Cryptomas song. It’s cringeworthy, but we like it. So pour some eggnog, snuggle up with loved ones around the podcast player and get ready for a very Billy Zane Christmas Special edition of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Will Twitter Decentralize? Bad News For 12/12/19
Marc Cuban says there is no way Bitcoin can ever become a reliable currency. Vinnie Lingham is about to win a Bitcoin price bet. And Jack Dorsey does a series of tweets indicating that Twitter may be moving towards decentralization. Another alleged crypto ponzi scheme sees three people arrested, Nike has patented a system for tokenizing shoes, and a new crypto game will see people battling it out on blockchain. We’ve got plenty of news, and included in that is a special interview with Moe Levin, the founder of The North American Bitcoin Conference, one of the continent’s biggest crypto events. It takes place in Miami in January, and guess who will be on location? If you guessed Taylor Swift, you’re probably wrong. If you guessed Satoshi Nakamoto, we can’t really say. But if you guessed myself and Travis, ding ding ding! You win! In fact, you can win a ticket to the event. So listen in and listen up. This is our Bad News episode #345 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Passing Blockchain Legislation with Ryan Berman
It appears that the US Government is being slow to finalize regulation for blockchain and cryptocurrency, but that doesn’t mean progress isn’t being made. It’s said that all politics is local, and different states are moving forward with blockchain in different ways. In the state of Michigan, a bill has been passed that would write emerging Bitcoin and blockchain technologies into existing state laws that prohibit financial crimes and racketeering. Today we are pleased to welcome Ryan Berman, a co-sponsor of this bill, to discuss regulation and the future of crypto in the United States.
