Today we’re going to gently dismantle the fear around cryptocurrencies, the thing that sounds harder than assembling an IKEA bookshelf after three beers.

I promise to keep it in human language. I will have to say “blockchain,” but imagine we’re at a food truck: I’ll explain it between a plate of tacos and a side of guac. Most of us hear “Bitcoin” and think it’s a token for digital slot machines. Spoiler: it isn’t… but it can feel that way.

What are crypto coins? How do you buy and use them without drama? Are there real risks? Can you get scammed? We’ll do this with humor, simple examples, and real talk so no one sells you shiny digital beads.

Public Announcement: this podcast is not financial advice—this is friendly, homemade digital education.

If you end up buying or not buying crypto, let it be an informed choice—not because your “visionary” cousin pressured you at the barbecue… the one who always shows up late and never brings drinks.

What is Artificial Intelligence anyway?

I realized we’re living in the future, folks. A future where machines are smart enough to predict our needs but apparently not smart enough to understand that I just wanted to know if I should wear shorts or pants. Welcome to the wonderful, weird world of Artificial Intelligence, where your car’s GPS knows the fastest route to Starbucks but your smart fridge keeps suggesting you eat expired yogurt.

AI is like a genie in a lamp, but instead of three wishes you get three creepy ads for stuff you only mentioned once. You say, “my back hurts” and BAM: up pops an orthopedic massage mattress with free shipping and a bonus pillow with Taylor Swift’s face on it. That’s scary.

What is ransomware?

In plain English, with no jargon: it’s a digital padlock on your own files. Criminals sell you the key—in cryptocurrency—to unlock your own data.

Yesterday they stole your suitcase. Today they chain it to a pole and charge you for the combination.

Serious hat on: ransomware is a kind of malware (malicious software) that encrypts your files and demands payment. These days they also steal your data and threaten to publish it—double extortion. Some gangs add a third punch: they knock your website offline or harass your customers to crank up the pressure—triple extortion.

Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS)? Think fast-food franchise, but evil. Big cybercrime crews build the software, then rent it to affiliates. They offer manuals, “tech support,” and payment portals—everything a small business would—just on the dark side. You no longer need to be a Dr. Evil. You can just subscribe to a monthly crime kit. Yikes.

AI isn’t here to replace you; it’s here to help you, like that cousin who actually understands the IRS while you stare at TurboTax like it’s a horror movie.

Let’s talk evidence, not vibes. Big studies over the last few years estimate that hundreds of millions of roles worldwide are exposed to AI in some way. Exposed doesn’t mean eliminated—often it means tasks within jobs are automated or accelerated. Other reports project millions of new roles across tech, healthcare, education, and creative fields. The direction is messy but clear: tasks shift, skills remix, net new value appears if we adapt.

But what is at risk the sooner: highly repetitive, rules-based tasks, basic data entry, rote document review, literal translation, Tier-1 call-center scripts.

Likely to grow: roles that use AI: designers who prototype faster, data/AI trainers, AI safety/ethics specialists, digital psychologists/coaches, educators who personalize learning, creators who scale production.

And yes, the plumber still wins. Until a robot can crawl under your sink, avoid the garbage disposal, and not trip the GFCI, Mike the Plumber is booked through next Tuesday.

We humans love to brag that we’re the smartest species—right up until someone full-body-checks a door labeled PULL… three times… on camera… in 4K.

Let’s define the thing before we build it. Intelligence is atoolkit: learning, reasoning, planning, creating, adapting, thinking abstractly, self-awareness. You don’t need every tool to be intelligent; different minds mix different capabilities.

The Dark Web is not as cool as Batman’s lair. Think of it asthe Internet’s basement: no windows, weird smells, and if you’re not careful, somebody might be selling a kidney right next to knock off sneakers.

A lot of people picture it like the movie The Matrix, hackersin hoodies staring at glowing green code. Others think of it like the Star Wars cantina, full of bizarre creatures trading secrets. The truth? Way less glamorous. Way more dangerous.

You’ve probably seen this: you open your inbox and there’s a message saying, ‘Your Netflix account will be suspended, click here to update your info.’ Or the classic: ‘Suspicious activity on your bank account, log in now to avoidsuspension.’ Panic sets in, you click… and boom. You just handed your info to Mr. Hacker.

In today’s episode, we’re going to unravel what passwordsreally are. People keep using the same one for everything. That’s like using the same key for your house, your car, your office, and your diary where you write that you hate your boss.

And if that key falls into the wrong hands—ha! Forget it.They’ll know everything from your credit card number to your collection of limited-edition Star Wars figurines.

So, what is a password? A password is that invisiblebarrier that protects your digital life. It’s like a nightclub bouncer.

But if the bouncer is weak, he’ll let anyone in with a fake smile.

Today, we’re going to talk about how to kick strangers out —not just from your living room, but from your internet.
Why should you care if your neighbor “borrows” your Wi-Fi? Well… aside from slowing your internet so much that Netflix thinks you’re watching the movie through a blender, there’s something else: security risks.

That oh-so-friendly, charming, and shameless neighbor could— intentionally or not — open the door to a hacker, leave illegal traces using your connection, or even get into your shared devices. And this happens moreoften than you think.

Greetings, citizens of the world. We are Anonymous. We arelegion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. And today, we come to tell you our story. Well, not all of it, because that would spoil the fun. For years, wehave been behind some of the biggest leaks, server crashes, and digital scares that have made directors and politicians double-check their passwords. Andalthough many imagine us as geniuses locked in basements, the truth is that some of us are. But there are also those who hack from the beach with a piña colada. Get ready because in the next few minutes, Doctor Qubit, very good friendof us, will show us what’s really behind the mask. Stay tuned because we’re getting started.

And remember,

We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do notforgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
