The Bad Crypto Podcast - Bitcoin, Blockchain, Ethereum, Altcoins, Fintech and Cryptocurrency for Newbies

It seems like hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about a company attempting to disrupt an industry with a new blockchain-based solution. It’s why we’re able to bring you current interviews with some of these innovators each week. Today you’ll hear from founders of companies seeking to create new solutions in healthcare and rewards, as well as another wanting to make crypto easy for people to adopt.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto have gone missing in what might be the biggest crypto theft ever. The exchange world is changing as Robinhood seeks to take from the very rich Coinbase and give back to all of us by eliminating trading fees. And we are pleased to welcome Brian Keen from ICORating.com to the show to discuss the ICO marketplace. We’re freshly back from Davos, Switzerland and ready to deliver you the very best in badness. It’s episode #79 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

It’s a beautiful sunny day in Davos, Switzerland. And Travis and I have just finished a series of interviews with some of the people here at the CryptoHQ house, presented by DecentraNet and Bueno Capital. In this episode, you’ll meet a number of these movers and shakers in the blockchain space as they share their projects and visions in brief interviews.

It’s a beautiful sunny day in Davos, Switzerland and there’s enough snow here make Santa Claus feel like he’s at the north pole. Travis and I are at CryptoHQ surrounded by movers and shakers in the blockchain space, and we’re recording this episode live before an audience of people wondering why they are sitting here when they could bathing in a pool of delicious swiss chocolate.

Travis thought it would be a good idea to leave the country for a week… something about a Blockchain cruise with John McAfee and Ronnie Moas.  But the show must go on, and go on it will. Way back on episode #22 we invited our friend Michael O’ Neal of the Solopreneur Hour to guest host with Travis while I was away. They discussed Michael’s journey down the rabbit hole and what it was like for a crypto-noob to start obsessing over Bitcoin.

The blockchain cruise is over and Mr. Travis Wright has a lot to share about his experience aboard the USS Crypto. But, he’s lost his voice just a bit, so this should be interesting. What’s up with South Korea and the resulting fear, uncertainty and doubt? And we’re finally ready to address a coin many of you have been asking us about. With Travis still in Singapore and me in Colorado, this is the cross-hemisphere episode #75 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

There’s much more to the blockchain revolution than cryptocurrency. We are living in an era of decentralization that is creating a new economic order designed to work for all humanity, to honor innovation and to secure sovereignty.  

Can you believe this show has been around for six months already? We can’t. And on today’s episode, we’re going to discuss where crypto was at when we recorded the first episode and where it is today. Hop into the time machine with us and let’s see where the first six months have taken all who are card-carrying citizens of The Republic of Bad Cryptopia in this “time flies when you’re being bad” quickie edition of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

This week found many people freaking out as the recent dips in crypto turned into a nosedive with bitcoin dipping into the 8000’s and altcoins tanking 40, 50 and 60 percent. It’s a “don’t burst my bubble” Bad Crypto Quickie edition of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

There are information age commodities that are at the top of the value list... data, and your personal reputation. And today we’ll introduce you to two companies attempting to harness the power of these to make blockchain magic. Get ready to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and badly go where no one has gone before in this sponsored ICO Spotlight edition #15 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

It may look and feel like magical internet money, but the truth is that cryptocurrency is personal property. At least that is the statement from the United States Internal Revenue service. With so many questions surrounding crypto and taxes, we thought we’d invite a certified public accountant to the show. While no one likes to think about paying taxes, we’re here to help you stay legit by bringing you someone who has a handle on it. Besides, there’s no tax for listening to this show. It’s free!

If you met a cypherpunk in a dark alley, what would you say to him? If that cypherpunk was Jameson Lopp, you’d probably invite him to have a beer and discuss cryptocurrency. As luck we have it, we didn’t meet Jameson in a dark alley. We invited him to join us on the show to glean from his knowledge of the blockchain world. He’s a software engineer that speaks regular people language, and that’s good, because we’re bad. Stick around long enough and you’ll be bad too.

The Financial technology world is changing faster than a newborn baby’s diaper.. There are some in the industry who are keeping their eye on how the financial sector will be affected by artificial intelligence, roboadvisors, neobanks and blockchain. We recently sat down with Lex Sokolin of Autonomous.com to discuss these issues and it led to a fascinating conversation that will really get you thinking. The singularity is coming, but while you wait enjoy episode #71 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

The number of ICOs hitting the cryptocurrency space seems to multiply faster than bunny rabbits. And in this episode, we’re bringing you two new companies seeking to change their industries by crowdfunding and launching their projects. BeeToken aims to disrupt the home sharing space, and Gatcoin is taking on merchant rewards programs. It’s going to be an enlightening and entertaining show as we discover the visions created by the founders of these companies.

Just ten episodes ago we had the opportunity to meet Ronnie Moas of Standpoint Research. We’re glad to say that Ronnie was gracious enough to come back to the show for his latest thoughts on Bitcoin, Ripple, the alt-coin bull run and the future of cryptocurrency. While Travis and I were at home for this interview, Ronnie was on the other side of the world. I guess that’s why he’s a real futurist and we’re just bad.
