The Great Taking
We’ve been talking about The Great Reset for years. Designed to strip normal citizens of power and privacy, the global elite have their eyes set on making themselves Kings and Queens of the modern era. You and I, we are to be serfs. And we shall eat bugs and like it. But if the world were to transition to this final phase of dystopia, how would it take place? A book titled The Great Taking by David Rogers Webb provides scenarios in which it might all unfold. You might say it’s a blueprint for world domination. We give you our take on The Great Taking today on our “Hey, we can’t all be Kings and Queens, so suck it” episode #696 of The Bad Crypto Podcast Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/696 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunes Google Podcasts: http://badco.in/google Spotify: http://badco.in/spotify Amazon Music: http://badco.in/amazon FREE NFTs when you JOIN THE BAD CRYPTO NIFTY CLUB at https://badcrypto.uncut.network FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @badcryptopod - @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 BE A FEATURED GUEST: http://badco.in/apply DISCLAIMER: Do your own due diligence and research.

Spatial Web Changes Everything
With the launch of the world wide web, people and businesses have connected like never before. Evolving technologies such as ai and blockchain have advanced our ability to get stuff done faster and more efficiently. The complexities and challenges of governance have become more dramatic over time. But since the standards board agreed on our current hypertext protocol for internet data, we’ve not seen a major advancement in online technology… until now. The spatial web is at our doorstep and it is a complete gamechanger. Imagine a 3D internet where the vision of the internet of things becomes a reality. Now imagine this new world where power is given back to the people and central authorities have less of a say in how communities operate. Today we have an amazing conversation with Dan Mapes, co-founder of spatial web, to discuss all of this and more. Is the future dystopian or utopian? We happen to think it’s Bad Cryptopian on our episode #692 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
