In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we speak with “Red”, Community Manager and local legend at Harvest Finance (FARM). Red is a yield farming expert, and he gives us a comprehensive 101 on the subject. He also talks about how Harvest Finance is the leading solution to maximizing yield in crypto. We attack the question of “what is DeFi and why does it matter” in a few different ways. We discuss the beginnings of DeFi with the birth of Andre Cronje’s Yearn Finance (YFI) and the philosophy behind “fair launches” (as opposed to the “pre-mines” and ICOs of the old days). We discuss the differences between DeFi projects and yield farms, while highlighting both red and green flags along the way. We address the topic of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and what governance will look like in the future. We close the conversation with a discussion focused on crypto communities and what makes them unique. If you are getting serious about crypto and DeFi, then this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we were in the presence of greatness with the founder, the inventor of the 3 Commas trading software, Yuri Sorokin. 3 Commas is a non-custodial trading tool that enables the average trader to trade like a pro. It enables so many more types of trade execution and features that are not available on most retail crypto exchanges. A lot of our community members in Cryptnation use this software, so we were glad to do a deep dive into what it is really all about. Yuri gives us a good overview of risk management and security -- something we were particularly pleased to hear from someone running a platform that not only helps us execute smarter trades, but also lets us set up and run trading bots to make the decisions as well. 3 Commas is backed by some of the smartest money in the space, like Alameda Research. Yuri gives us a real honest and down to earth approach to trading, making money, and using his platform. It was a straightforward conversation about what to expect, with no sales pitch or fluff.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we learn about DeFi risk from Michael Beck of Union Finance. He gives us a high level overview of how we should think about what a cryptocurrency is at a high level. Money of any type is really just a storage of energy, a unit of how much work went into creation of that money is a solid fundamental peg. Michael gives his thoughts on assessing DeFi risk vs reward, how Smart Contracts are or are not secure, and the pros and cons of interacting on Ethereum instead of a centralized exchange. He mentions the pitfalls that have led to many smart contracts being hacked in the past, or pools being drained. Union helps DeFi be less risky through creating insurance that covers risks like Layer 1 hacks, smart contract hacks, and transaction completion. Union is simply an intermediary, rather than an underwriter. Users on the platform create a peer-to-peer insurance policy network, able to both buy and sell, while gaining UNN tokens for the willingness to take on risk. Our favorite takeaway in this episode is the realization that, “In the past, capital was collecting talent. In the new world, it is the opposite. Talent is leaving and capital is coming to them.” Sponsored link: https://stopsimswaps.com Guest Links: https://twitter.com/unnfinance https://www.unn.finance Show Links: https://CRYPTO101podcast.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=8429526 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Crypto101Pod https://twitter.com/BrycePaul101 https://twitter.com/PizzaMind https://instagram.com/crypto_101 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/101Crypto https://www.facebook.com/CRYPTO101Podcast **THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL OR LEGAL ADVICE** © Copyright 2021 Boardwalk Flock, LLC All Rights Reserved ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Fog by DIZARO https://soundcloud.com/dizarofr Creative Commons — Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported — CC BY-ND 3.0 Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/Fog-DIZARO Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/lAfbjt_rmE8 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Our Sponsors:* Check out Gemini Exchange: https://gemini.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, Bryce begins chatting with Henri Pihkala from Streamr about the industry landscape in Switzerland. But the real story is real-time data… how it affects the world, how prices can adjust based on real-time data streams about supply, demand, weather, traffic, and so much more. Streamr is building decentralized data streams that are monetized through crypto. Every trader is looking to get an edge in trading, and there are malicious actors in the world who create an edge by destroying the edge others have, which is why decentralization is an important part of the picture here. If your company relies on a data stream to survive, having a competitor buy it and shut it down would be catastrophic. Streamr is making a real world solution for this problem. Henri walks us through a deep dive and helps us get understanding of all the possibilities his platform can create, including future data economies, Web 3, and how the data pipelines of the future won’t be built on AWS.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we spoke with Annabelle Huang from Amber Group about how an investment firm handles huge volumes of money for their clients, and how they think about making profits in the crypto industry. A professional investment firm has so many different goals and risks to manage compared to the retail trader. We learned some strategies implemented that help make consistent returns on large sums of money. It is important to understand how the whales swim so the rest of us are not swept up in the current, and perhaps can ride along with their momentum. Annabelle used to work for Deutche Bank before coming to the crypto industry. Her professional background is extremely impressive, but she has chosen to take her talents to crypto. She tells us why she feels this is the best place to be, and one of her favorite projects to keep an eye on... And it just so happens that it’s a project that Bryce has actually been talking about in our coaching calls for over a year now.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we get a deep dive on AI, machine learning, and human to machine communication in today’s age. Alex Newman and Lonnie Rae from Human Protocol (the next generation of hCaptcha) come on the podcast to explain these technologies that are impacting our lives every day, explaining what this stuff can and can’t do. PizzaMind is solo in this one, and without Bryce to yank the leash, he goes to the edge to make sure the things we are all thinking get answered… he asks the uncomfortable questions, such as “can AI achieve sentience”, and “just how smart can these programs be?” Fortunately the near-future is not as scary as Hollywood has trained us to think it would be around this time. Alex and Lonnie are both brilliant engineers who offer a lot of great history and insight in a way that is super easy to understand and accept.
