Crypto Basic Podcast: Teaching You The Basics of Bitcoin and the World of Cryptocurrency. CryptoBasic

It’s Flagship Friday and we’re talking about everything from Quadriga CX (again) to the curiosity Rover dying on Mars and why. We discuss the NASDAQ and more flirting with crypto, and we go on a long rant with Craig Wright and Wikipedia. Mike was absent from this one, but that’s OK we let Karim go off the handle, and he even says toward the end of the episode that he’s Triggered. Love it.

Today CryptoBasic talks about something near and dear to their hearts – scams. This isn’t just crypto, but knowing what scams we’ve seen in the past and where they might be going in the future is very important in this unregulated market. Listen to Karim and Brent talk about the red flags you should be on the lookout for, and learn about this insane con man that had 10 commandments written about him. There’s plenty of crypto content, plenty of scams, and it’s all here on this episode.

Wow, there’s a massive theft in the crypto markets and Brent goes down the rabbit hole to cover it. QuadrigaCX, the biggest crypto exchange in Canada has taken everyone’s money and the owner might have faked his death. Also, the podcast has a new sponsor that they go over on the show.

Is Waves Platform a decentralized exchange done right? Mike and Brent dig deep into the project to see what it is, why it works, and see what they like about it. From harrowing tales of some idiot named DC in their Telegram, to support form the community and almost buying the coin – the team goes on a roller coaster ride of learning about this project.

In the end, will they consider it a reasonable project? Find out.

The team has a couple of throwback issues: IOTA’s hack has some closure in the way of an arrest. The team talks about a coin possibly pump and dump that the Apollo team may have just done, including inviting their CEO on the show. We go over some political thoughts, and then as always make sure to thank all of the Patreon members on the last Flagship of the week.
