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.

Good morning! This morning's episode is basically me reading through and commenting on a Twitter thread about ten predictions for web 3.0 in 2022. I end the episode talking about the Zora FNT marketplace protocol.

Good morning! This morning I start off 2022 by minting a breadstick! Never forget to have fun in the crypto space! That is why I got into it in the first place. I came across a spoof account that allows anyone to buy an "Olive Garden" branch franchise NFT. You can even mint the unlimited breadsticks that come with soup and salad. Almost every American has an Olive Garden in their suburb and grew up to associate that with Italian food. It is no wonder that these mock franchises are now selling for up to 10 ETH! However, the real parent company of Olive Garden (Darden Restaurants) is firing back with a cease and desist letter to Open Seas Legal team. Non-Fungible Olive Garden has sent a letter back to appeal to Darden Restaurants to "...discuss this like family over a plate of Ziti Al Forno..." at an Olive Garden of their choosing. Somehow, I don't think the old folks at Darden are going to really understand the concept of the NFT images being unable to take down from the blockchain! Good luck to the lawyer having to explain that!

Good morning! Happy New Years Eve! This morning I reflect on what open source and being decentralize means in the context of safety, security, and data ownership. How does this relate to the social graph? Is 2022 the year for the Digital ID? What does this mean? Will it bring us all under enslavement? Or will it free us from the centralized web 2.0 tech overlords and allow us to own our own data? I lean towards personal freedom and no top down control, however, I try not to get too carried away and leave my mind open for technological innovation. This show is all about learning and questions. I ask lot of them in this episode.

Good morning! The day before yesterday I received another air drop! I got an airdrop of $GAS tokens! Although the amount I received cost just as much gas to claim them, I was still stoked. I am stoked to see what this GAS DAO and these $GAS tokens will be doing. They will be giving the most active Ethereum users and developers a voice in the EIP proposals, they will be going towards a revision of Open Zeppelin that will work towards making revisions that will reduce gas in the smart contract code. They will be making cool PFP NFT's, and they will bring in GAS refunds on staking. Overall, I like to see good advancements like this. Of course they are adjusting as they go along, but that is humanity. Then, I go into the Decrypt article covering the 5 most impressive altcoins of 2021. Good list in my perspective!

Good morning! This morning I start off by just rambling and reflecting on the development of web 3.0 from it's beginnings in web 1.0. Then I move on to a thread about Avalanche and read a blog post about some of the features of Avalanche. It's not a thorough explanation of Avalanche or even a very good explanation, but it is my morning reflection, so take it for face value.

Good morning! This morning I talk about some of the harsh realities in the crypto space. We love the freedom. We love the bounty and seemingly free flow of money and opportunity at times. However it all comes at ta risk. There is a lot of personal responsibility and accountability that comes with that freedom and opportunity. I came across a confession from an anon on crypto-Twitter about how he/she got snagged in a honeypot scam. This person does not seem to be an amateur, so if they can get lured, so can you. I then look at an article on Coin Telegraph that outlines what a honeypot is and how to use or avoid them.

Good morning! It's Monday and I wanted to cover something a little fluffy and nostalgic. I do some morning crypto rambling until the 13:12 min mark where I talk about a fun Twitter thread about the formation of the Blockbuster DAO. The fact that it caught my eye and brought lots of nostalgia to me alone seems to be a good reason already as to why this could be successful. I can only imagine all the other people that can smell that place upon seeing the green and yellow logo. The name "Blockbuster" is already very fitting for web3.0, don't ya think?

Good morning! This morning I take you down to Avalanche. I go back down the DeFi Kingdom road, but this time I look at how DeFi Kingdom is expanding outside of the Harmony blockchain to the Avalanche blockchain! Crystalvale will be a new DeFi Kingdom opening up in the AVAX world. In anticipation I moved some crypto-assets over to Avalanche and bought some Jewel token to set up shop and add some Jewel/AVAX liquidity to the DEX pools in Pangolin. I found that t he two major DEX's on Avalanche are Trader Joe and Pangolin. I read an article that compares them just to learn a little bit more about them. I wonder what is going to happen to the Avalanche DEX ecosystem once the Crystalvale Marketplace DEX gets thrown into the mix!

Good morning! This morning I woke up to an $SOS airdrop. I am not sure what this means. I did the math and it's small, but hey, maybe it will be worth something soon enough. We will see. I never underestimate the power of DAOs and the crypto community. Then I go into the DeFi Kingdom and poke around in the world and explain a little bit about the JEWEL token, the marketplace, the garden and the heroes. There is so much you can do in this game and if finance games like this existed back in early 2000, I would be rich by now!

Good morning! Some crypto friends yesterday told me about DeFi Kingdoms and I thought that I should go give it a look as the way they described it, it sounds like a really fun and profitable Play-2-Earn game in the GameFi world. I went to the website to give it a look and realized that it was on the Harmony One blockchan. I was like "Oh man. another blockchain rabbit hole to go down." So I started looking up some Harmony fundamentals and how to bridge to Harmony. I did not want to use a centralized exchange like Binance or Crypto.com and transfer my dollars into the crypto space because I am low on cash, so I wanted to figure out a way to transfer some WETH I had on Polygon to Harmony. It took me on a quest. Or in more modern terms, in a superhighway interchange spaghetti bowl.
Here was my sequence of actions:
1) Swap WETH to WONE on Quickswap
2) Use RelayChain.com to bridge WONE from Polygon to Harmony
3) Use SushiSwap to Unwrap WONE to ONE on the Harmony blockchain.
It took alot of trial and error to figure this out by trying Multichain.org, Anyswap.exchange, bridge.harmony.com On top of that, I had to end up buying a little bit of ONE token on crypto.com because I did not have any Harmony in my wallet to do the swap from WONE to ONE in SushiSwap, and I could not find a faucet I trusted.
So in the end, I never got to play DeFi Kingdom in this episode. I will save that for tomorrow on Christmas. It was an interesting road getting there though!
