Hola Hola G&Gs,

This is a specially pushed ep in memory of Felty256.  As I said the crypto space lost a good dude. Condolences to the family and the Philly crypto community. This may seem unrealistic but it never occurred to me that someone I interviewed could transition on. And he was the last person I was expect to year that kind of news about. I'm glad I got to know talk with him. Irony, I was going to hit him up about making Coinvention this year. Which I knew he would be at. Felty was very supporting of the local crypto Philly scene. I think this is a deserving moment to honor the Philly native and founder of. Vidyen

As you'll hear in this part, we talk about a couple of different things like his passion for what he was doing in the space, him questioning how to place a monetary value on what we do in the space, and even getting a intern. Yeah, we covered a lot. He was one of the smart people I know in Philly. I'm glad I had the opportunity to know him.

Hola Hola G&Gs,

This is a specially pushed ep in memory of Felty256.  As i said the crypto space lost a good dude. Condolences to the family and the Philly crypto community. It's funny we talked about doing this interviews for months before actually talking.  We finally did a few months back. This ep wasn't supposed to come out this week. But I think this is a deserving moment to honor the Philly native and founder of Vidyen. It was a web browser mining software.

As you hear in this first part of the convo, we talk about a couple of different things eventually getting back to how he got into  the crypto space. 

The second part of the conversation will follow this episode.

Hola Hola G&Gs,

So here is the rest of the conversation with Bitcoin Zay. This is a special episode for a few reasons. In this episode, I talk with Isaiah Jackson AKA Bitcoin Zay. Zay is half of the dynamic duo of The Gentlemen of Cryptos. You can find them on Youtube and iTunes.

This is Zay’s second time on the podcast, making him my first repeat guest. Thanks again for coming one the podcast. It was great timing to semi-relaunching of the podcast with Zay's new book Bitcoin and Black America. As I've said in my social media, going forward I will be promoting more blacks in the crypto space and black in tech. Yes, we’re coming out kicking, lol.

In the second, half we talk about how people generally get involved in cryptos because of price but then stay for the tech. And how once you really get things like Bitcoin, it changes how you understand money. Not to mention the career opportunists you see opening up the more the technology in integrated into society.

Last thing G&Gs, I don't usually put my name behind or push anything. Even sponsored products or services get a limited mention. Especially when it comes to the podcast. But this book is something I think everyone needs to read. But black american needs to read and understand what is coming down the pike. Again thank you Zay for writing this book and keep doing what you do.

Hola Hola G&Gs,

So here it is finally a new EP. Yes, it has been a while. This is a special episode for a few reasons. In this episode, I talk with Isaiah Jackson AKA Bitcoin Zay. Zay is half of the dynamic duo of The Gentlemen of Cryptos. You can find them on Youtube and iTunes.

This is Zay’s second time on the podcast, making him my first repeat guest. I’m honored that he agreed to come on. But more importantly, I’m using this episode as a new semi-relaunching of the podcast that coincides with Zay’s new book Bitcoin and Black America. I’m excited about this episode because it meets of my new goals in promoting blacks in the crypto space and black in tech. Yes, we’re coming out kicking, lol.

We talk about his reasons for writing the book. And how he hopes it helps Black American understand and take advantage of the opportunities blockchain technology and Bitcoin present. We also talk about how far the crypto community has come and the multitude of access point people have to become involved in the space.

Last thing G&Gs, this is part I of a two-part conversation as I rambled on for a while, lol. I know, I’m still working on it. But Zay does make jokes and gives a tidbit or two that’s not directly written in the book.

Hola Hola G&Gs,

So in this EP, I talk with Dr Tiffany Gray. I meet her when I co-organized a panel on diversity and inclusion in the crypto space. She was one of the panelists. I didn't get to talk with her much then but paid attention to her social media postings. I was interested to hear more about her thoughts are on how blockchain could help the medical/healthcare industry. She definitely has some ideas on how this disruptive technology could be applied. But she also voices concern about what it means to just dump people's personal medical data into their laps of people without providing them the education on what it means to maintain positive control, managing it, or monetizing it.

As you will hear, she shares how she came into the space and what she understands about integrating blockchain into her field of expertise. Namely, that you have to ask the tough questions on how will this be practically implemented and what effect will it have on the bigger society? Dr Gray where's a number of hats and this positions her in the key to be asked questions and give the big wigs real answers.

Also please like, share, heart, thumbs up, leave a comment, or ask a question, and all the other call to action stuff your suppose to say. I can't get the word out without you'll. So thanks in advance and I appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Hey G&Gs,

Here is a snippet of my convo with Dr Tiffany Gray. She gets into the idea of what happens when you give people control of there personal data on top of the loads of data people are already creating; what does that look like when people realize they can make money off of selling their data.

Remember the full Ep will follow this snippet. So make sure to check episodes list and listen to the full breakdown of our conversation. And go through the other conversations.

 Hola Hola G&Gs,

So in this EP, I talk with Chika Ota. We get into how she got into here current job in the crypto space which allows her to travel the world.  And that's what allowed me to met her in Chile last year.  Chika's journey into the crypto space highlights that pass careers or where you came from doesn't stop you from entering into the space.  I'm always amazed as to how many people still think you have to be a techie person to get in. I tell people all the time, there are so many options for what you can do. It's just a matter of figuring out what works for you.

As you'll hear we talk about more than just here intro story. Chika brings up a point about something I've noticed more since talking with more people out side the US. Make sure to explain your blockchain and crypto projects in  more than English. It matters more than people think, seriously. And don't forget the culture of the market you looking to enter matters.

Also please like, share, heart, thumbs up, leave a comment, or ask a question, and all the other call to action stuff your suppose to say. I can't get the word out without you'll. So thanks in advance and I appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Hey G&Gs,

So this is a snippet of my convo with Chicka Ota And yes that is actually her name. She was making a point about how regulation could help to limit the number of scammer trying to enter into the crypto space going forward. Which would be a great benefit to the over all industry.

Remember the full Ep will follow this snippet. So make sure to listen and hear the full break of my conversations with Amber.

Hole Hola G&Gs,

In this ep, I get to talk with Silvana Lopez. I met her in Santiago Chile in 2018 at LaBitConf. A lawyer by trade who then went to MIT and co-founded a tech company that deals with hackathons and using them to find solutions to help real communities. Silvana's journey isn't  all about crypto or blockchain, but as I say G&Gs it's going to take all types for use to reach mass adoption. 

We talk about her running a hackathon with IBM in Peru and looking at how implementations of any solution isn't just about dropping the project in the hands of the community and then walking away. You have to then measure the effects of the solution and how it's being used at the ground level.  With more technology our ability to connect is continual growing and online hackathons are being coming more and more popular; Silvana sees this and gets into what made her do the company.  We talk about about this and a bunch of other things as usual. 

Also please like, share, heart, thumbs up, leave a comment, or ask a question, and all the other call to action stuff your suppose to say. I can't get the word out without you'll. So thanks in advance and I appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Hey G&Gs,

Here is a snippet of my convo with Silvana Lopez. In this snippet Silvana is talking about not just having hackathons to trying and solve a problems but also measuring the aftermath of the results of implementing it. In my opinion a lot of the people looking to offer products or services don't take the second half into their plans. Remember the full Ep will follow this snippet. So make sure to listen and hear the full breakdown of our conversation.
