In this episode, we dive deep into the world of crypto fraud and technology. Shane Donovan Moore, a former rugby player, orchestrated a scam convincing over 40 investors to pour money into nonexistent mining rigs, offering unrealistic daily returns. This highlights the dark side of the crypto boom, showcasing how trust can be exploited in the shadows. On the other hand, we explore Coinbase's recent launch of the Base app, revealing a vision for your crypto future that may not be as bright as it seems. Beneath the polished user interface lies critical information that begs scrutiny—are these new technologies delivering real value, or just flashy illusions? Join me as I unpack these contrasting narratives: one filled with deception and fraud, and the other with potentially misleading promises of innovation in blockchain technology. The real crypto future is shaped by projects that actually deliver, not just those that shine the brightest. Stick around as we dissect these powerful stories and uncover what Coinbase calls the future—and why you might want to think critically about it.
