Delete Google Chrome. Install the Brave Browser
The majority of the massive Silicon Valley social and web tech companies don’t see you as a customer. They see you as a product. Capturing your data and selling it to the highest bidder, you exist to meet their bottom line. The behemoth known as Google, once committed to living to their now-defunct mantra, “Don’t be evil”, couldn’t care less about you. But what if you could reclaim your privacy, secure your data and be treated with value by one of these companies? We don’t see that happening any time soon from Google, but fortunately there are some brave companies that are bucking the trend and creating solutions that do indeed value you, and even reward you for using their products. One such company is unironically called Brave. And their web browser is the fast, secure and satisfying solution to those who are ready to ditch Google Chrome. Today, we welcome Luke Mulks to the show. Luke is Director of Business Development at Brave, and by the time you are done listening we think you’ll be a Brave fan, as well. It’s time to take back your Internet experience from those who would seek to use and abuse your good will. Welcome to episode #321 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Startup Funk with Bruno Ver
We met many super-interesting people while in Bali at the Altcoin Mastermind. One guy really intrigued us with his story. And we thought you’d be intrigued as well. After making and losing over one million dollars twice in a row, Bruno Ver struck gold with his next investment in a major tech company. But he didn’t stop there. Bruno went down the crypto rabbit hole and is now a partner in Block 5 capital. We’re happy to bring Bruno to you today so you can hear his story. And both Travis and I are now mining cryptos on a new device called the CoinMine One. It’s an X-Box sized device that you plug in and stand back while it mines. No computer needed. We’ll speak with Farbood Nivi of CoinMine to talk about his new mining device. Crypto startups and crypto upstarts. It’s all here on episode #314 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Google Reaches Quantum Supremacy - Bad News For 9/26/19
We knew that the quantum computing barrier would be broken sooner or later, but we honestly thought it would be later then sooner. However, Google announced that they have already achieved quantum supremacy, and many are wondering how this will affect Bitcoin. Bakkt has finally launched their Bitcoin futures market, Patrick Byrne sells his entire portfolio of Overstock holdings, and the fed prints billions more in dirty fiat currency. Crypto goes up. Crypto goes down. And today is a bit of a downer. But I guess that just brings more legitimacy to us as we present you with the Bad News episode #313 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
