A young man walks into a bar and says “gimme a vodka tonic”. Unsure of the man’s age, the bartender must ask to see his identification in order to prove he is old enough to drink.
What if the bartender knew from the blockchain that the guy was old enough without even asking for an ID?  He would be accepting proof with no knowledge of actually having seen the proof.  That’s zero knowledge proof… or ZKP.
Today on the show we welcome Dor Garbash of the Mina Foundation to discuss ZKPs and why they are essential to building a web3 future with privacy and scalability in mind.  
By the time we are done, you will have proof that you’ve got some knowledge of zero knowledge proof on episode #668 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it hundreds of times. Crypto goes up, crypto goes down.  It just so happens this is one of those down times. And while it feels bad to see your portfolio shrinking, there are many reasons to be optimistic, not the least of which is the approaching halving and the largely predictable four-year cycle. The most optimistic projections still have Bitcoin hitting $1,000,000 in the future. We’ve got the latest news cycle covered and will hit you up with all the juicy tidbits that we find interesting on our Bad News episode #722 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Episode 722: Bitcoin’s Fourth Halving - Bad News for 4/17/24

The Best Places in the World for Expats to Live - Episode 721

Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in a federal prison. While odds of him serving the full sentence are in question, many are wondering what life will be like for him while behind bars.  Will it be like orange is the new black? Or will his experience be more like a white-collar country club?
Today we welcome another Sam to the show, Sam Mangel, to discuss his experiences in federal prison and what SBF’s experience is probably going to be like.  
From one who has been there, telling us all about where another is going. Listen in closely, but don’t drop the soap, on this episode #720 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

What Will Prison Be Like for SBF?

We have spoken to hundreds of projects over the past seven years. Many of them did not make it through the bear market. But some have not only survived the bear, but they have continued to build and prosper.  One such project is the game Upland. Commanding an average of 30,000 daily users, Upland is the most active of the games in the metaverse category and they show no signs of slowing. 
Today we welcome back Dirk Lueth, CEO of Upland.me, to discuss the latest features of the game, as well as efforts to help facilitate an open metaverse, where all your digital possessions can be used across different platforms.  We told you about this one in January of 2020, so here we are to update you on the future of the open metaverse on episode #719 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

What is Upland Up to Now?

Well, it’s time to pack it in. The bull run was short-lived and it’s all over. Bitcoin is back down from it’s all-time high and there are those who are questioning if we are even going to see a pre or post-halving run now. After all, if crypto doesn’t just go up all the time, what good is it?
Of course, while the price of Bitcoin and other coins are down right now, in all likelihood things are just getting started. We’ve got the latest stories from the crypto world paired with our version of keen analysis, right here on this Bad News episode #718 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
