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

Today is a 101 on Brent’s pet project Spankchain. See how this token is hoping to revolutionize the cam model industry, and also try to take on some of the giants in the world of porn. This is one of the tokens that’s not planning on leaving Ethereum, and it really does solve an interesting problem. See why this snarky coin might be the real deal in this 101 Series.

And here it is. After the team has been bashing on it for 3 months straight, they finally take an objective look at TRON, the hype machine. What does Justin Sun have in common with a cult leader? And why is Brent talking about constellation orgies? Find out on this 101 Series episode

Friday Flagship is here with some crypto drama, corrections on PIVX and Dash, and of course some contest updates. The CEO of MtGox tries to make good with the community (or does he?), Vitalik gets super savage on Craig Wright, and it looks like the guys were right about Verge setting up an exit scam… we mean hack… right. And of course the biggest news in Crypto; Karim has won the month of April in our portfolio contests and Brent has finished dead last. Tune in to see what his punishment will be!

The Crypto Basic podcast is growing up, and we have a brand new segment to show for it! We are happy to bring a first of many CryptoConvos, and we have a fantastic guests to help us celebrate this occasion. Bryan Doreian (aka Snappy) is too many the face of PIVX, but he’ll be the first to tell you he’s just a regular crypto-enthusiast like the rest of us. Oh yeah, and Mike disappears half way through the second act! Houdini shenanigans aside, it’s all good vibes in this sit-down with Ambassador Snapp

The team tackles the coin Brent wishes he’d picked for his portfolio over Bitcoin Private – PIVX. Lean about how they used to have a really dumb name, and then embraced the Purple Paper tongue twister to create a fork of the DASH code that may end up being as good or better than the original. Stay tuned tomorrow for an interview with a member of the PIVX team that goes by Snappy, and brings the energy to the show.

It’s an April Fool’s miracle! Don’t let the title fool you though, we have taken a completely different approach for this episode in order to cover this boring topic in a fun way. Come find out just how foolish the Crypto Basic team, and you’ll also be able to see why the three of us have become such close friends. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!

The first thing that happens in this episode is an exexutive decision to call this the Friday Flagship, which is clearly going to really backfire the first time we have to release this on a Saturday. There are no awkward arguments, and everything is actually edited this time! Is Verge about to do an exit scam? Is Monero’s privacy not totally private? Find out now!

Today we’re taking on a topic that is extremely important in the cryptocurrency world, but is applicable in all areas of life: Cognitive Biases. These are the pre-programmed ways our brain is constructed to deal with the things life throws at us. From trying to get even on a bad trade, to refusing to sell a coin no matter what we hear bad about the project, may of the ways in which we react to the swings in the cryptocurrency community will be easier to understand when you understand your own biases.

Since Brent picked Bitcoin Private in his portfolio, and there’s been a lot of chatter about this particular Bitcoin fork (though it’s really a ZClassic fork). Does Brent regret his decision of picking this particular coin? Yes, yes he does. Find out why Brent quickly changed his mind on this project, and why you always need to do your own research, and lots of it, before picking a coin on this 101 Series: Bitcoin Private.

It’s time for the Friday Flagship #12. The US Congress gives ridiculously high praise, the CEO of Twitter is shilling Bitcoin, and South Korea has put into motion a reverse on the bans on ICOs, which led to a nice little spike in the price of Icon. The team tackles some mailbag questions, and gives the statistics of the portfolio contest distribution.
