Bitcoin Bull Run and How to Use Exchanges
“The Bulls are back in town. (Bulls are back in town)” Look at the crypto charts today! They are going to the moon! Bitcoin at an all-time high. It looks as if the dust is beginning to settle from the August 1st bitcoin fork. In this episode of the Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis discuss the Bitcoin bull run, sending coins through currency exchanges, we briefly discuss crypto wallets, and we even have a Bad Crypto Bonus Footage for you over on YouTube, as we interview Michael Taggart and he walks us through setting up our own cryptocurrency, BADCOIN. So what’s going on with Bitcoin today? Boom. It has bumped over $3300, briefly. And it is bringing along many of the altcoins along with it. Why now? We can only speculate that it has to do with the bitcoin fork, and people waiting to put their money in the space. We have read some things, but who really knows? And who cares why?! TO THE MOON! In previous episodes, we’ve discussed transferring money from your Coinbase account, or whichever exchange you are using, and moving it to a wallet or to another exchange. Since both Joel and Travis buy with Coinbase and move to other places, let’s use this as the first example. Coinbase - Get $10 of free bitcoin for signing up and spending $100 in crypto!

The Bitpocalypse: Is Bitcoin Cash the End of the Crypto World?
"It’s the end of bitcoin as we know it, and I feel fine! (LEONARD BERNSTEIN!)" What is Bitcoin Cash and why did the bitcoin blockchain split into two ledgers? What does it mean? Joel and Travis tackle this challenging question in episode 005 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. After years of arguing on the future of Bitcoin’s software should evolve in response to the digital currency’s growth over time, the users and miners have disagreed on the direction of the coin, and the technology has split. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well, it’s a bit confusing. Bitcoin? More like Splitcoin! Am I right, you guys?! We also discuss Joel’s upcoming journey to his first cryptocurrency conference, D10E, coming up at the end of next week. And did you know that you can make your very own cryptocurrency for about $3? We chat about that, as well! Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
