For today’s interview we get a chance to sit down with ZenCash co-founder Robert Viglione in order to discuss a variety of topics. We kickstart this interview by diving deep into the recent 51% attack, breaking down the exact timeline of events, ZenCash’s preparation and response, and what the plans are to prevent this going forward. The second half of the interview focuses on updates from the project as we discuss sidechains, the recent re-branding, Pornhub partnership, SuperNode layer, liquid democracy, DAG protocol, IOHK partnership, internal engineering, and some fun bonus questions!

It’s been a few months now since the Bitconnect Ponzi scheme crumbled (Thats a SCAM!). But contrary to what Carlos Matos would have you believe the world is still the same, and as long as there is money to be made there will continue to be cheats and swindlers looking to take advantage of unsuspecting cryptocurrency investors. Is FCOIN a scam? Almost certainly, and we therefore created this 101 breakdown both as a PSA for the crypto community and as an exercise in spotting the red flags which help us identify this project for what it is – fraud. There is no doubt FCOIN gets an F as an investment, but by learning the tells of those trying to swindle us, you can still get an A as an investor.

Unfortunately the world of cryptocurrency is full of thieves, hackers, and scammers looking to exploit you. Is FCOIN a scam? Almost certainly, and we therefore created this 101 breakdown both as a PSA for the crypto community and as an exercise in spotting the red flags which help us identify this project for what it is – fraud.

It’s time again to cruise the crypto waters on our Friday Flagship! The whole gang is here to discuss Vitalik’s comments on centralization, Vitalik’s request to Twitter’s CEO, and of course Vitalik clapping….wait, is this a Vitalik themed episode? Maybe a little! But we also talk about the Augur launch, Bancor Exchange wallets get hacked, Binance on its way to record profits, and we peek at JPMorgan’s internal report on crypto. Crypto around the world this week has stops in Amsterdam, India, and of course South Korea.

Lets be honest, for most of us the world of blockchain is experienced through an investing lens… so why don’t we learn a little bit about investing! For this episode Brent and Karim are reminded that there is much they still don’t know as they explore different investment theories and strategies. Why do prices seem to move at random? Are markets really efficient? How does Dollar Cost Averaging compare to Value Averaging? If you loved our Cognitive Biases 101 episode you’re in for a treat, but remember – WE ARE NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS! ಠ_ಠ

It’s time for another 101 breakdown and this week we are going to look at Zcash, a coin whose forks we somehow managed to cover before the coin itself! Brent sits down with Mike to finally explore this privacy focused project which frankly CryptoBasic had avoided due to what we considered outrageous founder rewards…. has our opinion been changed? We also explore why privacy matters to law abiding citizens in this 101 series on Zcach. Will this controversial coin yield a controversial episode? Well… it is Brent presenting after-all =)
