The Block Runner Crypto Podcast

We follow up on our last podcast on China’s cryptocurrency. We discuss whether the masses will use any country sponsored digital currency and how a China developed digital currency will more likely compete with Facebook’s Libra currency. With all the social media dapps that spring up, we discuss how the future of earning money could change as a result. The Twetch app is another example of how one can earn some income by posting on a Twitter style dapp where users own their own content and get paid because of it. When it comes to income, automation is accelerating at a staggering pace. We wonder what alternative that is better than UBI to provide a source of income for those displaced by automation. EOS is dominating blockchain activity compared to their competitors, we discuss how this is possible with the evidence that is contradicting. Topics: The Chinese digital currency on its way. Twetch app and the future of earning money. Is there an alternative to UBI for a response to automation? Dapps on $EOS. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

William and Iman recap the progress of our podcast and we evaluate our enthusiasm for the show. We summarize our thoughts on this journey and we discuss our previous podcasts and interviews we had. We’re working on scheduling an interview with John McAfee to get a run down on his thoughts on a wide range of topics. A question I don’t see come up at all is how much Universal Basic Income is too much UBI? We also have many questions surrounding artificial intelligence and we want to encourage anyone in the field to come talk with us and explain how it works. In a video with Max Keiser, he discusses how China has been accumulating good in preparation for a gold backed cryptocurrency that could bypass any dependency on the current world reserve currency. Topics: We Recap our podcast and we self evalutate the progress. We prepare for an interview with John McAfee next week. How much UBI is too much UBI? We invite an AI engineer to join the podcast, if you want to join hit us up on twitter/email/discord. and finally, China accumulates gold & prepares their own cryptocurrency.

William and Iman join Franky Needles on a live-stream to discuss developments and updates on Decentraland and Somnium Space. We discuss the differences, criticisms and benefits of each platform and why these types of games will become very successful and potentially lucrative for the early contributors. We also wanted to join Franky because he is the first to purchase a meta from our MetaZone app and has deployed it in Decentraland. We wanted to make a point to thank Franky for supporting us so we can continue building useful tools for the community to use. Shout out to @ FrankyNeedles !

William, Iman and Oscar gather again to close out the Game Jam updates. We go over what place we got in the comptetion and we also go through the top 3 winners. The Decentraland community is its greatest asset and the community needs to develop ways to encourage players to continuously return to the game. Without this incentive, developing for decentraland is unsustainable. Our contribution, Metazone, focuses on providing an easy way for land owners to deploy content to their land without the hassle of deployment that currently exists. We also discuss Lebron’s statement on punishing Daryl Morey for his tweets that support Hong Kong. Topics: First up we go over the top 3 winners of Decentraland’s Game Jam. Next, we discuss the Decentraland community’s responsibilities. We add a few updates to Metazone app. And Finally -  further updates on China’s influence.

Get into Decentraland! During the Game Jam starting September 16th, if you build and submit your project you will get 200 Mana by using the link below: http://bit.ly/2Ng0OAW Your submission will help support the channel. Thank you! We get the crew back together to discuss developments with our Game Jam submission for the competition in Decentraland. One of our important discussion points is the difficulty of deploying custom creations onto a plot of land. Typically, a land owner would need to receive the source code for the custom creation, then using a command prompt and scene code to deploy the creation. The whole process is not user friendly and discouraging to people who want to contribute. That is why we created the http://MetaZone.io app. This helps anyone who wants to deploy any custom creation quickly and easily without the help of developers. Anyone can sell their creations right through the app as well, bringing the first Decentraland app store. With about a week left of the Game Jam which ends September 30, 2019, we discuss our final touches to our submissions. Topics: First up, we clarify how landowners deploy custom creations today?  Then we go over how https://MetaZone.io makes it easier for anyone to deploy custom creations on their land.  Finally, our game jam submission update.  The best way to protect your cryptocurrency is by using a hardware wallet, find one here: https://amzn.to/2LzdFvP Please like and subscribe.

We were recommended to have Daniel Garcia join the show to discuss how cryptocurrencies have affected 3d design and virtual worlds. Daniel is the creator of PolygonalMind.com and has a huge passion for design and gaming. We dive into detail into the world of Decentraland and we touch his team’s creation of a virtual escape room. The nostalgic game of World of Warcraft Classic recently launched and we get into its addictive affects. Its not all bad though, gaming was responsible for teaching children new languages to financial responsibility. We migrate our discussion to Neuralink and how the threat of a hack is heightened because a brain interface would be the ultimate form of privacy invasion. Finally, we get an outsider’s perspective of the U.S.’s mass shooting epidemic. Topics: First up, we get an introduction on how Daniel got started creating assets for Decentraland and how he got into cryptocurrencies overall Next, we discuss the addictive nature of World of Warcraft and how it contributes positively to society.

A Florida judge has ordered that Craig Wright turn over 50% of his Bitcoin and intellectual property from before 2014 to the estate Ira Kleiman. We discuss how this lawsuit is going and what it means for the community supporting BitcoinSV. We also notice the development of new stable currencies, seemingly sprouting at a rate near the 2017 ICO mania. Next we get into the difference between Andrew Yang and all previous candidates and how this candidate encourages a higher voter turnout. Finally we discuss new developments in our game we're designing for Decentraland! And here are the topics we’ll be discussing today: 1. Craig Wright Vs Kleiman over 1.1 million Bitcoin 2.

On episode 22, William and Iman discuss how Mr. Wonderful could be misleading people on the value and purpose of cryptocurrency. We go over two videos, one that occurred in may 2019 and another that was uploaded in April 2013. Kevin O’Leary has many positive things to say about Bitcoin but then has a different stance on it 6 years later. Could he really be manipulating people or has he changed his mind on crypto? Then we debate on the value of gold in comparison to Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is more scarce and harder to mine, are we approaching the peak of Gold? There are many developing situations around the globe that could contribute to the demise of humanity, including nuclear war, artificial intelligence, global warming, and an impending financial crisis. We discuss these dangers and how humanity’s resilience can withstand and thrive in a dwindling environment. We also look into the decentralized identity platform called Civic and discuss how decentralized identity could work. 1. First up, Pompliano vs. Kevin O’Leary - Does Mr Wonderful know more than what he’s showing? 2. In a 100 years, is Gold or Bitcoin more valuable? 3. How Decentralized Identity could work. 4. Finally, we assess the mental state of society.

On episode 21, William and Iman discuss the recovery Bitcoin has made in the last week indicating another bull run is apparent. It appears to be on its way to $14k again with not a lot of resistance. The Federal Reserve has cut 25 basis points (0.25%) from interest rates therefore encouraging spending; ultimately increasing the supply of the U.S. dollar. When the supply of the dollar increases the prices of everything goes up which impacts the price of Bitcoin directly. This could contribute to the price of Bitcoin exceeding $100K at its peak in this halvening cycle. What do you do with all the crypto gains you earned in this cycle? We discovered Compound where you can stake your DAI stable coin and earn up to 17% continuously compounding interest. Topics: The FED cuts interest rates for the first time in10 years and how this affects the price of Bitcoin. The future of banking with decentralized finance applications.  We discuss the usefulness of that college degree.
