CRYPTO 101

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we talk with Jonas Simanavicius from Syntropy about building a decentralized layer of the internet that is optimized for speed. Not only is internet traffic breaking records year after year, but common paths are congested. With the looming threat of censorship and cyber war, a need for optimized and redundant paths has never been greater. Syntropy is solving this problem by building a more intelligent routing layer onto existing internet protocols, so there is nothing new to transfer over to, no new equipment to buy, or services to sign up. Anyone can run a node that helps encrypt traffic and generate rewards in NOIA tokens. This is not to be confused with the cloud mining scam at syntropy.io -- please make sure you are using the correct URL below when doing your own research.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we talk to the legend Avi Felman, Head of Trading at Blocktower. This might be the most informative 101-level conversation we’ve ever had. Avi broke down some common trading strategies people can use in crypto markets. He taught us how many coins are too many to hold, and great tips on portfolio construction. We learned new terms that smart money uses to define different methods of profit, like Alpha, Gamma, and Delta, and also, what a Gamma squeeze is. We also got some great commentary on when and how to take profit, which is one of the most difficult things to do actually. Lastly, Avi gives us his best guess on where we are in this bull run, how much longer we have left, and how to tell when the top is finally in. He also shares with us some amazing tools he uses to determine a loose fundamental valuation of a crypto project, in a way even we had never heard before.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by StopSIMSwaps.com, we learned about DeFi and the future of capital markets on the Terra network. Already so much faster and cheaper than Ethereum, and just as robust, it is no wonder Terra and their LUNA token have exploded up the market cap rankings. This episode is a must-listen all the way through.

Haseeb was the victim of a social engineering attack called a SIM swap, that gives a hacker control of his phone number. He tells us the honest truth about security, vulnerability, and all the data that has been collected on even the average person, just out there on the dark web for anyone to take advantage of. Haseeb set out to create a cell phone service that will actually protect people against this type of attack. Efani is a service layer that sits on top of the Verizon network, with 11 layers of protection for its users. Haseeb has been in the Bitcoin space a very long time, and has been part of documentaries and even congressional hearings to speak on behalf of Bitcoin in its early days. This made him a frequent target. PizzaMind was so shook by this interview, he himself changed his phone carrier over to Efani, and now we bring you a limited time offer.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, we talk with Luca Cosentino from Oasis Protocol about smart contracts. Smart contracts power the DeFi ecosystem on the backend. Even if Uniswap or other DEX front-ends were to be seized or shut down, the trading would still continue and new interfaces would pop up somewhere else the very next day (or sooner). Oasis offers private smart contracts, a potentially revolutionary step forward in security. Crypto has two major conflicting ideologies, transparency vs privacy. Each use case seems to have a good argument for either, or sometimes both. Luca shares his thoughts on the advantages of private smart contracts, as well as the full-featured open finance ecosystem being built at Oasis. The hot topic of the day is, can Ethereum scale, and when? We get some insight from someone knowledgeable in the field. We also learned about a novel concept called Tokenized Data, and what may allow users to sell their data that they currently (and often unknowingly) give away for free today.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, we found an unreleased hidden gem buried in our backlog. 1st Digital Trust has built an amazing platform for financial institutions to offer digital assets to their clients and allows them to invest through 401ks, IRAs, pensions, trusts, and really creates a gateway for the biggest money in the world to move into crypto. We take a deep dive into the future of security tokens with the COO of 1st Digital Trust, Gunnar Jaerv, who explains the emerging infrastructure being built to issue and monitor these assets in a safe and compliant manner. They have built an industry leading platform for financial institutions to connect to next-gen technology offerings through their OpenTrust API. Gunnar explains to us all the differences between a utility token and a security token, from both a technological and regulatory point of view. We learned how many different and unique needs a security token has, and for good reason. It is mind-boggling how much this company has grown in the short five months since this recording took place.

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.
