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.

In this amazing interview I speak with Joshua Scigala about money, bitcoin, DeFi, Gold, inflation, usury, the founding of his Gold/BTC exchange Vaultoro.com and the new stablecoin project launch called TheStandard.io. A DAO-based project that creates over-collateralised stablecoins backed by Gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum. This lending platform will eliminate the interest model of lending and be an improved version version of DeFi inspired by MakerDAO. https://vaultoro.com/ https://www.thestandard.io/ https://twitter.com/JScigala

Here's another epic rant where I talk about the shilling in the crypto space, DAO motivations, decentralized journalism, data ownership and how our data is food for AI. Will AI be our masters forcing us into a predestined fate? Or will we control our data as the food for AI and thus be the owners of our own free will and destiny?

Good morning! Happy to be finally making an episode for myself as it has been less frequent lately. Not a bad thing, just means I am busy helping other projects and DAO in the web3 ecosystem. This morning I wrap up The Cathedral and the Bazaar, Paypal, Celsius and the social credit system all in one big rant!

In this episode I reflect on how journalism and web3 can get to know each other and the tools that journalists can use to apply web3 to the mass amounts of information being thrown at them. Web3 can help journalists with:
- Immutability
- Transparency
- New business models
- Community ownership
- Decentralization
- Security / Trustless Communications
Please don't take me too seriously. Do you own homework and see what works for you. Also my opinions do not reflect the JournoDAO as a whole. The JournoDAO is a diverse set of individuals, each with their own ideas and opinions.

In this episode I speak with Mike Rabinovici on the subject of accredited investing. Is the status of being an accredited investor just another glass ceiling that perpetuates inequality and creates a glass ceiling? Or does it protect the innocent from all the scams that run rampant in the newly emerging web3 space? Mike sheds light on the terms and the current situation in the web3 space regarding this subject. We also zoom out and look at how this affects topics such as web3 ID and DAOs.
You can find Mike on Discord in the BanklessDAO server at ComeBackKid#3480

Good morning! Lately I have seen alot of talk and hype about the Cult DAO and the REVOLT 2 EARN protocol. The way it was describe to be was as an anonymous decentralized venture capital project. I barely know what venture capitalism is and what those people do. I have never had the luxury of having enough money or being around people with enough money to even have a conversation about venture capitalism. So I basically ignored it. But when Revolt to Earn came through Cult DAO as a way to independently help finance revolutionaries in a decentralized way outside of an impending social credit system, I began to pay attention and stated to understand. In this episode I fumble through the website and read some of the material that explain the ideology behind it. I do not really go into the tokenomics or technical specifics of it as that would have taken another entire episode to cover. Maybe I will make a follow up episode in the future on that type of stuff. But I wanted to at least get the Cult DAO name out there and let people know that there are others out there who want to build an alternate system and economy outside of the system of slavery that the elites want us in through their CBDC and Great Reset.

Good morning! This morning I read an article written by Orca Protocol. The article defines and lays out the distinction between Socialware vs Trustware. This distinction brought a more philosophical question to mind for me. Are we trying to automate trust out of human organization? What will that mean for society? For our psyches? Is this automation of trust even good for us as humans? Is this another way that robots and AI are taking over our world rendering us helpless? As humans, do we NEED trust as part of life much like we need the seemingly valueless and impractical concept of beauty? I know the article was leading to a conversation about efficiency in DAOs but for me, it took me down a philosophical rabbit hole or questions about our very existence.

Good morning! This morning I explore the concept of data ownership and biometric data that is gathered to create inferred knowledge. We are at the point where biometric passive data is being gathered in massive volume. All of this data is being processed by AI and machine learning algorithms. Inside these neural networks, even our best and brightest do not know what is going on inside the "brain" of AI. We just know the outcome is true. To me, this seems to bring us back full circle in the old faith vs science debate. We also are being conned into just giving away our data and, in essence, our souls and personalities to tech behemoths who are making billions from us while we get nothing except the ability to browse social media or play some stupid phone game in exchange. It's time to take back that data ownership, make money from our data if we would like and decide who gets to buy that data. All of this and more is what the folks at Re-Public.io are doing. Make data a common good again. Or in other words make data "Re-Public"!
