The Bad Crypto Podcast: The Show for the Crypto Curious

Over the past few months, Joel Comm and Travis Wright have been having conversations weekly and sometimes daily about bitcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrency. 

So on Sunday, we decided to record a podcast that explains cryptocurrency to the masses as more people try to grasp the technology 

We aren't experts in this topic, nor are we financial advisors, however we are both insatiably curious and love researching and dissecting big ideas. 

Join us on our Bad Crypto Podcast if you wish to understand bitcoin, blockchain, litecoin, alt-coins, cryptocurrency, ICOs, tokens, and why many prognosticators believe bitcoin will be worth over $500,000 a coin in less than 5 years.

Joel and Travis' Cryptocurrency Adventure begins now.

Joel and Travis’ Excellent CryptoCurrency Adventure begins

Crypto for newbies. In this episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast, the boys tackle this subject and make cryptocurrency easy to understand!

IN THIS EPISODE:

We discuss what’s going in this week in the world of cryptocurrency, as well as doing a deeper dive into just what the heck is this mysterious thing called Bitcoin? Why am I hearing so much about it and how does one “mine” virtual currency?

What the Heck IS Bitcoin?

Why should you care about blockchain? In this episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis talk about Joel’s stolen identity and how blockchain could solve that problem. We discuss the ICO of Civic, which deals in private identity via blockchain.  Joel and I also review our first week with the show, and thank our incredible subscribers that are already 3000+ strong. In. One. Week. Thank you sooo much, everyone!

We also dive into the basics of the blockchain.

Blockchain - What is this blockchain technology all about?

What is bitcoin mining?  How does one mine for bitcoin? Is it like a gold mine? Do I need a miner’s hat? Is the bitcoin gold rush over? What kind of equipment is needed to do bitcoin mining?

We don’t know.  We dive into mining for cryptocurrency, as well as discuss the upcoming split of bitcoin into two separate ledgers. One will be Bitcoin legacy. One will be Bitcoin Cash.  What does it all mean? Let's figure it out.

Bitcoin Mining: What the Fork?!

"It’s the end of bitcoin as we know it, and I feel fine! (LEONARD BERNSTEIN!)"

What is Bitcoin Cash and why did the bitcoin blockchain split into two ledgers?  What does it mean? Joel and Travis tackle this challenging question in episode 005 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

After years of arguing on the future of Bitcoin’s software should evolve in response to the digital currency’s growth over time, the users and miners have disagreed on the direction of the coin, and the technology has split.  Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well, it’s a bit confusing.  

Bitcoin? More like Splitcoin! Am I right, you guys?!

We also discuss Joel’s upcoming journey to his first cryptocurrency conference, D10E, coming up at the end of next week.

And did you know that you can make your very own cryptocurrency for about $3?  We chat about that, as well!

The Bitpocalypse: Is Bitcoin Cash the End of the Crypto World?

To be fully secure in the bitcoin world, you must understand cryptocurrency wallets!  In this episode, Joel and Travis break down the five different types of crypto wallets. They also break down the original Bitcoin whitepaper from Satoshi Nakamoto, and it makes everyone’s eyes glaze over, as Travis reads the money-ifesto. But you need to know these things!

We also discuss the current bull run of Bitcoin as it knocks on the door of $3500 dollars, we chat about NEO/Antshares and Ethereum a bit, as well as the launch of our own crytpocurrency, BADCOIN.

What's In Your Crypto Wallet?

Is Litecoin the silver to Bitcoin's gold? We talk about this in the next episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast. With LTC already successfully implementing segwit, lightning on the way, atomic swaps, and more stores accepting Litecoin... the future looks bright for Litecoin.

Litecoin to the Moon?

It's the second most valuable cryptocurrency in the world, so what exactly is Ethereum? Joel and Travis touch the tip of the iceberg and make Ethereum easy to understand. In the news, Bitcoin has hit $4000 and China's version of Ethereum, NEO, has hit $50.  All this and Joel's trip to his first crypto-conference in San Francisco on this episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast!

Welcome to The Ethereum

“The Bulls are back in town. (Bulls are back in town)”

Look at the crypto charts today! They are going to the moon!  Bitcoin at an all-time high.  It looks as if the dust is beginning to settle from the August 1st bitcoin fork.  

In this episode of the Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis discuss the Bitcoin bull run, sending coins through currency exchanges, we briefly discuss crypto wallets, and we even have a Bad Crypto Bonus Footage for you over on YouTube, as we interview Michael Taggart and he walks us through setting up our own cryptocurrency, BADCOIN.  

So what’s going on with Bitcoin today?  Boom.  It has bumped over $3300, briefly.  And it is bringing along many of the altcoins along with it. Why now?  We can only speculate that it has to do with the bitcoin fork, and people waiting to put their money in the space. We have read some things, but who really knows?  And who cares why?!  TO THE MOON!

Bitcoin Bull Run and How to Use Exchanges

What is an Alt-Coin? Today, the guys drop some knowledge by inviting the CTO and co-founder of Stellar.org to the show. Jed McCaleb shares what the Stellar Foundation does and how their Lumens cryptocurrency solves a major problem related to payments.

And it gets better.. Stellar has provided The Bad Crypto Podcast with 400 sets of Lumens to give away to our listeners.  In this episode, we'll tell you how you can get one of the first one-hundred sets of this cryptocurrency.  (We'll be giving away more in the future.)

It's a Stellar Day!

ICO's, the SEC cracking down on BTC and WTF? On today's episode of The Bad Crpyto Podcast, Joel & Travis talk about initial coin offerings, the crypto world's way of crowdfunding new ventures. We also get into the Securities Exchange Commission's statement on ICOs and what it means to investors. Tune in and be sure to share and review us!

P.S. - we know there is a weird popping sound that happens sporadically within this episode. We don't know why but hope to figure it out before recording again. Sorry! What did you expect from a BAD crypto podcast? hmmm?

Bitcoin is Dead.

Joel got a shiny, physical bitcoin in the mail. What’s the deal with transaction times? And the boys have a special ICO Spotlight visit with Sourabh Niyogi, CEO of Wolk.com. It’s like the Donnie & Marie Variety Show, but without talent,, and sparkly white teeth. Welcome to episode #16 of The Bad Crypto Podcast!

Wolk Like an Egyptian

It’s not Halloween, but in some regions of the world, It’s Ghost Month. What does that have to do with crypto? A guy gets stopped by TSA for carrying Bitcoin in his backpack.  And Travis & I each drop $100 on an alt-coin of our choice in a friendly competition.  May the best investor win, and may your crypto-IQ increase from listening to episode #17 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

$24 Million in Crypto Stolen with Michael Terpin

Listen to the full episode here
https://badcryptopodcast.com/2019/02/01/bad-news-234/

Round the world and home again
That’s the podcast’s way
Faster faster, faster faster

There’s no earthly way of knowing (knowing)
Which direction crypto’s going (going)
There’s no knowing where it’s going (going)
Or which way the market’s flowing (flowing)

Is it selling, is it buying
Is an alt-coin out there crying

Another fork of bitcoin is showing
So the blockchain must be growing
Are the fires of JP Morgan glowing
Is the the SEC reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the haters keep on crowing
And the governments aren’t showing
Any signs that crypto’s slowing
