January 3rd is Proof of Keys Day, and is the most important day in crypto. What is it? In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by eToro, we sit down with Trace Mayer who is the host of the Bitcoin Knowledge Podcast, and the instantiator of this “crypto holiday”, whereby cryptocurrency owners are encouraged to take all of their funds off of centralized exchanges, and into self-custody to flex their financial sovereignty. In doing so, we ensure that centralized crypto custodians are not running fractional reserves, and that you are securing your private keys-- the only thing securing your crypto! Beyond that, we cover the basics of economics, reasons why Bitcoin exists and appreciates in price, regulations, predictions, and so much more. This is an action-packed, can’t miss episode!

What’s burning, CryptNation? In The Weekly Fire, Bryce and PizzaMind recap the most important events of the week, and give you a piece of their mind. As always, we cover this week’s hottest topics, crypto’s most burning questions, and get into some heated debates. Recurring Show Segments: “Hot or Not”, “Smoke and Mirrors”, “Fire Tweets”, and “Scorched Earth”. “Hot or Not” is a quick look at the biggest winners and losers from last week. “Smoke and Mirrors” spurs debate between PizzaMind and Bryce as they opine on the legitimacy of crypto projects. “Fire Tweets” we deem self-explanatory. Finally, “Scorched Earth” is a series of tragic tales from Bryce and PizzaMind’s life in crypto. And yes, there really are THAT many stories to warrant a weekly segment.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by eToro, we sit down with David Gold of the venture-backed Dapix, developers of the FIO Protocol. We talk a lot about some similarities and differences between the crypto movement, and the “dotcom” movement in regards to institutional and public sentiment, price movement, speed of progress, and implications. The Foundation for Interwallet Operability is focused on reducing the complexity of sending and receiving crypto. They are bringing tons of new functionality to all of the main wallets. The FIO Protocol puts an end to vague addresses by replacing them with human-readable aliases across different services and blockchains. Ease-of-use is the only way we will get to mass adoption.

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by eToro, we sit down with Alex Mashinsky, CEO and founder of Celsius Network, the preeminent crypto lending and borrowing platform. Celsius Network lets you earn interest on your crypto and instantly borrow against it and never charges a fee. In this episode, we do a deep dive on the mechanics at play when interest rates are determined, how the Federal Reserve really works, his vision for the future of banks, and where he sees the industry going in the next few years. Alex invented VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), which is the technology underpinning applications like Zoom and Skype. He shares stories from that time of his life, and how telecoms reacted to the technology. He sees lots of parallels with the current revolution happening in the blockchain industry, coining a new term: MoIP (Money over Internet Protocol).

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by eToro, we sit down with Jack O’Holleran, CEO and co-founder of SKALE Network. I asked Jack to avoid too technical of a discussion, and he delivered! He explains blockchain in a very 101 manner. He gives a comparison between the early days of the internet and the current early days of blockchain. We do a deep discussion on Ethereum, UX and usability, differences between utility tokens and currencies, decentralized search engines, and how he strategized to raise money from acclaimed investors like the Winklevoss twins and Mike Novogratz...plus much more!
