The idea that a person would have a single Gmail or a single Twitter handle for their entire lives is a silly idea. Life is a journey and as we go through different phases as a human, our identities change. We change, so our online identities should be able to change too. This week, episode 140 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about owning your online identity! 

POWERED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY 

Globally, crypto investors realized total crypto gains of $162.7 billion in 2021, compared to just $32.5 billion in 2020. And in 2022, more than 200 million people worldwide have used crypto. Governments, including the US, acknowledge the viability of this asset class and institutional investors are increasingly embracing digital currencies in their portfolios, even–and especially–in crypto winter’s bear market.

Even with all the price volatility, clearly digital currencies are increasing in popularity, acceptance and adoption. In fact, the only thing more popular than crypto right now (sadly) are crypto scams. Crypto scammers took a record $14 billion in 2021. And the trend continues. So you need to arm yourself with strategies and the latest best practices to help you identify scams and protect against self-custody losses due to user error.

You need a S.E.C.U.R.E. Advantage! I’ve got the keys.

Naveen founded Sparkart, his digital agency, when he was 19. He got involved in the entertainment industry by cold calling Linkin Park prior to the release of their best-selling album Hybrid Theory. 

Some of the talking points Naveen Jain and I go over in this episode include:

• How your digital social accounts don’t belong to you, so it’s important to have a website.
• The ideas behind using NFT for creativity and SSI. 
• Some of the history of emoticons and emojis and how Yat uses that for identity.
• The importance of the privacy of people and why Naveen believes it’s a human right.

In my last special episode, I talked about FTX crypto exchange founder, Sam Bankman-Fried's, arrest in the Bahamas and the list of charges from the Department of Justice, SEC and CFTC. SBF is not the only one in legal jeopardy. Celebrities Tom Brady (geez, he's had a BAD year, huh?), Larry David and Kevin O’Leary are on the wrong side of legal action, as well. I talked about this legal angle on the 12-15-2022 episode of Yahoo Finance LIVE.

Days after SBF filed for FTX bankruptcy, attorney Adam Moskowitz of The Moskowitz Law Firm, a South Florida litigation boutique, and Boies Schiller Flexner filed actions in Miami federal and state court against Bankman-Fried and celebrity promoters of the exchange.

The federal class action suits allege that FTX’s yield-bearing accounts (YBAs), which pay interest on crypto holdings, were actually unregistered securities in violation of both state and federal securities laws and that celebrities who promoted them should therefore be on the hook for investor damages.

SAFETY DISCLAIMER: There are a LOT of scammers out there on social media impersonating me and other crypto educators and trailblazers and I need your help. Now hear this. I will never slide into your DMs to say “peace and blessings” or hey. And I will never reach out to solicit your time or your money. Like. EVER. So be careful and make good choices! FYI, I developed an entire FREE masterclass about the topic, so check out SecureYourCryptoBag.com for more information.

In this special episode of the Tech Intersect Podcast I share my initial thoughts on a week that will go down in crypto history regarding the FTX centralized crypto exchange and its (currently behind Bahamian bars) disgraced founder Sam Bankman-Fried. It’s been all over the news and social and I have received so many questions about it that I needed to hop on here with some feedback in preparation for my full recap and my year-end "state of crypto” episode this coming Friday, December 16th. So be sure you’ve subscribed on your favorite podcast app or platform or at techintersect.buzzsprout.com.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I invited Mark Wetjen, head of policy and regulatory strategy at FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, on to discuss the recent bipartisan legislative initiatives that seek to clarify the crypto asset regulatory environment and also about a really exciting crypto education initiative recently launched by FTX, #GetToKnowCrypto, and about how platforms like FTX can play an important role in ensuring the future of work, wealth and creativity are accessible and inclusive for all.

Just weeks before FTX, the crypto exchange Sam Bankman-Fried founded, declared bankruptcy in an epic failure and violation of trust that wiped out billions of investor dollars, I interviewed the head of policy and regulatory strategy at FTX and former CFTC Commissioner, Mark Wetjen in episode 127, "The Role of Crypto Exchanges in Policy, Regulation & Education". 

Listen to Mark's take on FTX and crypto policy and regulation before the bottom dropped out from under the investors who trusted this centralized exchange to be a good ecosystem steward of client funds. I invited Mark on at that time, to discuss the recent bipartisan legislative initiatives that seek to clarify the crypto asset regulatory environment and to talk about a 2022 crypto education initiative launched by FTX, #GetToKnowCrypto, and about how platforms like FTX could play an important role in ensuring the future of work, wealth and creativity are accessible and inclusive for all.

What a shocking fall from grace. And what a difference a few months make. What do you think is next for SBF and others who participated in the inner workings of FTX? And what does this mean for the future of regulation in the crypto ecosystem, which consists of over 22,000 different coins and tokens and myriad crypto assets and projects?

In honor of Representative-Elect Maxwell Frost's epic win  to represent Florida's 10th congressional district as the FIRST Generation Z candidate to head to Congress, I've selected my May 10, 2022 conversation with him about Congress, crypto and the future of economic justice to spotlight for this week's episode. Gun violence prevention was a core tenet of Frost's campaign platform, as well as supporting social, environmental and economic justice policies like Medicare for all and a Green New Deal. And as a member of Maxwell's Blockchain Advisory Council, I enjoyed exploring some of the most important questions and opportunities in the future of wealth for systemically marginalized folks, and making the case for bitcoin and DeFI as progressive agenda items.
