Take everything you think you know about crypto and poop it in the toilet. Shout between the stalls to your neighbor to show your support for their struggle. Light a match to cover up the Taco Bell token you bought earlier. Give a congratulatory hoot when you flush and finish. This is my anti-professional crypto channel. I‘m just a a barely sane dude who fell down the cryptocurrency rabbit hole. This channel is my fumbling attempt to communicate myself outside of my own head about my journey in the crypto space.

Episode 99 - Blockchain bloat, on-chain NFTs, MetaMask and Infura Censorship
Monday Mar 14, 2022
Monday Mar 14, 2022
Good morning! This morning I mull over some topics that have been on my mind lately. Namely censorship. I have been learning more and more about the hierarchy of Ethereum, Metamask, and Infura and how this relates to censorship. We recently see Venezuela being censored to using MetaMask due to local regulations. Infura and Metamask are both pointing the finger at each other. What this does is opens up a slippery-slope to censorship and being anti-censorship is what crypto is supposed to be about. I try my best to explain this issue so you (and me) can better understand what is going on.

Good evening! Not too long ago I discovered that my neighbor Ben is into NFTs. Not only that, he is an NFT whale! He sat here in my office and showed me some really cool NFT alpha as we spoke about crypto, NFTs, and play-to-earn gaming.

Episode 97 - Talking crypto and play-to-earn gaming with iSpeakNerd
Saturday Mar 12, 2022
Saturday Mar 12, 2022
Good morning! This morning I jump online with fellow BanklessDAO mate iSpeakNerd. He has a great understanding of crypto and crypto gaming and really enjoyed speaking to him about the space. He breaks down the play-2-earn space apart form all the buzzwords surrounding it and makes it easy to understand while also looking down at the practical space from a high level philosophical point-of-view. Really enjoyable conversation!

In this episode, I get the opportunity to interview Keith Axline of RePublic.io and Re-Public DAO. We bounce around the philosophical to the practical in this eye-opening interview. We have data all around us. As a result of being alive, we are creators of data. How to we measure that data and how much that data is worth to the companies that wat to buy it? What is the price we will put on our privacy? Once we own and control our data, we can make the terms and set the price on who uses our data and how they use it. The data economy in inevitable. How will you navigate it? The Republic.io app gives us to tools we need to be able to navigate this new data frontier!

Episode 95 - Morning rambling about Andre Cronje going anon
Tuesday Mar 08, 2022
Tuesday Mar 08, 2022
Good morning! This morning I am just basically corning you and rambling about Andre Cronje going into "retirement", or more like anonymity. In my usual way I go on streams of consciousness (basically rambling) and find myself on tangents. But hey, you listened!

This afternoon I was lucky enough to have fellow DAOPlanet and Bankless member Aaron0x come over and jump in a freestyle interview with me in my house. Excuse the audio, but the interview was really fun. We talked all about web3, DAOs, Data, Opolis, and crypto in general. Was my first time to ever have someone share this side of the screen with me!

Good morning! I woke up at 4:00 am with an insatiable desire to talk crypto and explain the Near Protocol (said no one ever, except me). So here it is. Enjoy!

I wanted to celebrate my 420th episode with an interview with a DAO friend of mine Elija Spina (Flowscience). I got to know Elija in Denver and got to learn about his projects and interests and thought that the rest of the world needs to know about what he is doing.
He is allowing growers, researchers, and anyone to be able to upload their cannabis data to the open source, decentralized, data marketplace on the blockchain to help people be able to share and monetize their data. He has created Cannabis Genomes DAO which has a gathering place in discord for all like-minded people to gather, share information and foster community. There is much more to cannabis than what you see portrayed in comedies and Elija really brings the benefits to light. This was a great interivew!

Tuesday Mar 01, 2022
Good morning! This morning I talk about Discord and some of the ways peopple are customizing it and creating bots for Discord that helps DAOs to function in a platform originally made for gamers. Then I go further into the space talking about how websites and news outlets are using NFTs as membership tokens instead of paywalls that collect all your info.
