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

It’s Flagship Friday! The team is excited about the fringe ideas around each story this week apparently. Brent talks about the specifics of why platforms like Gab end up being a cesspool, Karim is upset about the stuff he’s usually upset about, and Mike...like Jordan Peterson. We also discuss the 51% attack that happened to Ethereum Classic, how it worked, and what they’re doing about it going forward.

It’s the first Flagship of the year, and the team is ready and raring to go. First they teas the Crypties, an award show coming out in a couple of days. They talk about the Horizen DAO paper, realize that they know nothing and decide maybe they need to call up Rob Viglione to talk about it. Karim goes over the Time Magazine Bitcoin article about how important it is for freedom, why it won’t matter in places like the US for longer than we thought. And what it has to do with Venezuela. Brent, then, goes over this stupid scammer named Bitcoin-Fund-Manager and what a rabbit hole that is. From being a monk to a wedding planner, this guy knows scams.

Finally the team goes around the world talking about the Thai government and blockchain, how it could be affecting voting. They go over Overstock.com’s crypto investments – why they believe in Bitcoin, Ravencoin, and others. We play some Bullish or Bullshit with Bitcoin in space, and then roast a portfolio from one of our newest Patreon members.

On today’s flagship Brent spends a bunch of unnecessary time talking about the shitcoin Bitcoin Private. Remember when McAfee was talking about that thing? Also we discuss inflation rates in Turkey, answer some mailbag questions, and go around the world more than once. Enjoy this edition of the CryptoBasic Podcast.

It’s time for another Crypto Basic 101 series episode. Today we’re tackling the Tezos project, which we’ve been putting off for some time. Mike was all ready for Brent to have tons of bad things to say about this one, but you might be surprised by his answer. Tezos comes with a lot of baggage, and they’ve moved on from it and learned from the ordeal. Can this coin recover and get back to the Ethereum Killer it was once hailed as? Find out on this episode.

Today we have a unique show for you. In previous flagships we’ve discussed whether or not Substratum is a scam. When we did that we cited an article written by Brian Li. He reached out to us and was willing to present his research process, his evidence, and his thoughts on the show. He also invited William McKenzie as well to talk about his research, his insights, and his thoughts. The end result is a long episode that shows the process of trying to do due diligence on a coin.

During the recent Beyond blocks conference the team sat down with Steve, an OTC trader with lots of experience that has some interesting points about Tether’s legitimacy. From our off the record conversations with Steve we also ended up with some other skeptical views of the space and this was a good chat.
