CRYPTO 101

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, we wondered what is going on with EOS? Of all the top layer one next-gen blockchains, EOS had the most hype but we haven’t seen a lot built on that platform come into the mainstream. We sought out Steven Quinn from EOSFINEX and got a really informative education on how DeFi has made its way onto EOS. EOSFINEX is one of the main users of pTokens, which allows synthetic ERC20 assets, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and others, to be traded across the low-fee, high speed EOS chain. As this platform grows, it could be a real contender for traders who are sick and tired of the low-speed, egregious ETH costs on all of the other DeFi platforms most users are currently at. On a personal note, it has one of the cleanest DeFi interfaces we’ve ever seen, giving the trader just enough tools and charts but not overloading the screen with too many toggles and graphs to be confusing. We’re very impressed with their beta release and look forward to the full version and many more tokens in the future.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, we meet with Konstantin Richter who unveils his masterpiece, Blockdaemon. This service allows anyone to run one of dozens of blockchain nodes, for free. This not only helps secure the networks, but lets users earn revenue all at the same time. This saves the average consumer weeks and months of time, if they had an expert holding their hand through all the bash prompt commands. Not to mention thousands of dollars in server hardware and upkeep. Why run a node? The more nodes there are under a different user’s control, the more decentralized and secure a network is against censorship, hacks, downtime, and bad actors. It is critical that major crypto networks have tens or hundreds of nodes, if not millions. Major hacking groups, including world governments and intelligence agencies have no problem spooling up thousands of nodes to perform 51% attacks, so it is very important to be conscious of this aspect of cryptocurrency -- the underlying blockchain and infrastructure is very important. Blockdaemon is an amazing leap forward in the ease of running a node. We learn a lot from Konstantin in this episode about not only what goes into running a node, but which cryptocurrencies his platform supports, and even how the user can monetize their node to make passive income from it! If you have time to listen to this podcast, you have the time to take advantage of this opportunity!

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, we spoke with Colin Pape, founder of Presearch. Presearch is a privacy-centric search engine aggregator whose advertising is powered by the PRE token. It’s a very novel approach to ad placement. Instead of an endless money pit like Google Ads, people can stake whatever keywords they want, and their ads will appear based on their stake rank. It’s one of the best tokenomics models for locking tokens out of supply in an actually useful way. Colin gives us his story on being a small startup trying to tackle the biggest giant on the Internet. He’s a really likeable guy that makes you want to root for him, not just his mission. Presearch is one of the best hidden gems, with an already working product, and over 10,000 daily users and counting. The biggest question is, how long is this thing really gonna need before it takes off and blows up huge? What partnerships and integrations are in the works? Colin lets us know his plans in this episode. But the best part is, you can also earn PRE tokens just for searching!

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by pTokens and pNetwork, we talked with Garrick Hileman, a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics and the Head of Research at Blockchain.com. One of the things sorely missing from crypto investors is the simple basic understanding of economics, so we wanted to help shed some light on that subject. Garrick gave us a basic high level overview of so many important concepts to understand before choosing if an investment is a wise decision. We covered topics such as different economic theories, the Hayek vs Keynesian economic philosophies, what debt really is and what function does it serve, what inflation rates do in staking protocols, what makes tokenomics good or bad, and the real big question we all wonder… is the current financial system failing because it was bad, or because it was abused? Can it be saved? This is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by pTokens, we catch up with Tyler Spalding from AMP Token, formerly known as Flexacoin. He gives us the inside scoop on why he decided to rebrand, when it makes sense for a company to consider it. He gives us an update on the project’s progress, though much still remains behind the curtain. The conversation turned to more high level insights from the former NASA engineer turned digital payments specialist. He gave us his thoughts on banks providing crypto custody, the emerging Central Bank Digital Currencies, and how many financial middlemen’s days are numbered. Lastly, we learned how Tyler measures success. Being one of the most successful people on earth by normal standards, it is interesting to hear his thoughts and passions about why he keeps going even though he never has to work if he didn’t want to. If you haven’t heard his previous interviews in older episodes, you need to go check them out too.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by pNetwork and pTokens, we got some great insight into the future of DeFi with Band Protocol Co-Founder Soravis Srinawakoon. Soravis is our very first guest from Thailand and he gives us the insider scoop on the crypto landscape thriving in the land of Boon-nam. As an early investor in crypto oracle technology, Soravis is an expert and gives us the 101 on why this is such a critical piece of infrastructure. The main topic we kept returning to is the real potential of DeFi; would it remain a growing niche, or perhaps replace the entire financial system? On one hand, you have all of the power built on smoke and mirrors on a hidden over leveraged balance sheet that has been compounding for hundreds of years. On the other hand, DeFi brings fundamentally pure value on transparent blockchain, that can decide for itself what rules to comply with and what rules to disregard. At some point, the threat of DeFi becomes a promise, but it has a long way still to go. Lastly, we got his thoughts on the Kucoin hack, and the collaboration of many other exchanges to help out. There is a long ongoing debate on immutability vs intervention when these enormous security breaches take place. While Kucoin has mostly recovered at the time this podcast airs, the actions and inactions that took place industry wide will be felt forever.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by pNetwork and pTokens (PNT), we got to know Joel Edgerton, the COO of the BitFlyer US exchange. BitFlyer is one of the largest crypto exchanges in Japan, and Joel worked overseas with them for a very long time before being tapped as the man to lead the expansion into the US and navigate the choppy waters here in North America. Joel shares with us a wealth of knowledge from his travels all over the world, living in Japan for over a decade, experience working with Fortune 100 companies before BitFlyer, and a very interesting perspective on how decisions are made at crypto exchanges. We got to learn about critical things that we don’t really even know about as regular traders, things like shared liquidity and how distributed order books work. He taught us about BitFlyer’s unique order types that make it a better and easier place to trade. Joel shared his views on the DeFi boom, and at the end of the conversation, it was clear that not all exchanges are created equal. BitFlyer has the vision to really take some market share away from the early incumbents in the US crypto industry. You can be the first in your private group to get the edge of using their platform to place smarter orders.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by the crypto game "God's Unchained", we catch up with Kinsey Cronin, the Senior VP of sales at PrimeTrust. She gives us her insights on institutional crypto adoption in the face of the coming recession. PrimeTrust is a custodian that is one of the very select few to be entrusted with actually holding billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. She talks about some of their various partnerships and what goes on inside a crypto custodian company!

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by Gods Unchained, we sat down with Dominik Schiener from IOTA to talk about one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects going on in the world, the IOTA Tangle. If the Ethereum blockchain is like a coal power plant, the Tangle is a nuclear reactor core. Dominik gives us insights into the challenges of decentralizing something this unique and technically complex, as well as building out business development on the human side. We’re reminded that a project of such large scale can’t be compared to pretty much anything else in the crypto world, and will take a lot of time before it essentially acts as the underpinning to smart cities and smart roads of the future. One potential concern is something this amazing would be stolen or copied before it could really launch, but Dominik eased these concerns, and assured us the thousands of blockchain patents now held by Bank of America and Microsoft will not impede or impact what IOTA is building. Many people have heard about Direct Acyclic Graphs before in the blockchain industry, but the Tangle is a different variation of that, and we learn what those differences are in this episode. Listen in to see what all is being built on the Tangle and what household brands you know are already partnering with IOTA.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by Gods Unchained, we talked to Charles Hoskinson from Cardano. Charles is the founder of IOHK, the company behind the product Cardano, which is one of the most highly advanced blockchains and actively developed crypto products in the space. Part of what makes Cardano so special is the peer-review process their development goes through. We learn why this is the best approach, even if it takes longer. And also, that there may be an advantage of being the last to market in your sector, as well. We discussed a whole variety of fascinating topics, from how to construct a company to work remotely yet efficiently, to the underlying problems in Ethereum 2.0, how the naming scheme for Cardano eras came to be, and so much more. He also revealed that the main use case Cardano hopes to address is the lack of reliable digital identity around the world. He’s been giving TED talks on this subject since 2013, and working hard to make headway on a solution. 2020 has seen some major development updates from Cardano, including the launching of token staking just this past month. Charles gives us an update on the roadmap for Cardano going forward, as well as his thoughts on the political situation in Hong Kong, where IOHK is based out of.
