Old school investor Charlie Munger says the government should ban cryptocurrencies. Michael Saylor says that old Charlie just hasn’t taken the time to understand Bitcoin. The US Congress is going to hold a crypto crash hearing on Valentine’s Day. The NFT market appears to be making a comeback.  And we take a look at the top 10 most famous programmers of all time.

Of course, no episode of this show is complete without a Sam Bankman-Fried story, so we’ve got that as well.  It’s all here on our Neighbor of the Beast, episode #667 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

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.

The Western world’s way of capitalism has brought about more prosperity than any other system in the history of man. But there are those who have corrupted the principles of capitalism to benefit themselves without any concern for society in general.  It’s that crony capitalism that is a direct threat to real democracy, at least according to our guest today, Raymond Baker. Raymond is author of a new book titled Invisible Trillions, and he has some keen insights into what is broken in today’s financial systems and how to fix it.

Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum may also stop by to share his thoughts on eating crickets and the latest in fashion.  It’s the “you vill eat ze bugs and like it” episode #664 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

One of the most controversial figures in the crypto world is none other than Richard Heart. A former guest on this show, we found him to be quite likeable and knowledgeable. And yet the question remains, is the HEX token he created a scam? His community of followers, who call themselves Hexicans, would certainly say no. Others are more skeptical.

Film-maker Tom Gillespie has gone down the HEX rabbit hole to learn more about Richard and his community in a new four-part documentary series called Hexicans and the Time Value of Money.

We’ve got Tom with us today to discuss his previous film, this new documentary and other stuff.  And maybe some things.

If you love Hex and are south of the border, that makes you a Mexican Hexican. Welcome amigos to episode #661 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
