With so much bear market FUD entering the market, the SEC is becoming the main center stage threat to the stability of the cryptocurrency markets. We debate on whether or not the SEC should be of concern for the future of web3, also if it does become one, should there be changes to the rules and regulations to now hamper innovation and ecosystem participation. Also, we get into a heated debate on the threshold the SEC has set for being an “accredited investor”.
Topics:
- First up, we contemplate if we should be worried about the Ripple court case
- Next, talked about how there are way too many barriers to invest in the market
- Then, we debate how common people should have the same right to invest as a Accredited Investors
- Finally, why are there so many restrictions and barriers to participate in investing

Seems like Andrew Tate is getting traction as a result of the design of social media algorithm designs. Freedom of speech is being challenged by the social media companies and presents an opportunity for the web3 space to capitalize on the collective realization that freedom of speech can be quickly censored. We find parallels with what’s happening in the macro-economic conditions with the Great Depression from the crash of 1929. Our monetary system is destined to collapse but there is a secret that could delay the inevitable collapse. The secret is the metaverse, find out how.
Topics:
- First up, we acknowledge the Andrew Tate Baning on all social media platforms and how it relates to Web3
- Next, we discuss who should be in control, Tech companies or the People.
- Then, we examine how Web 3 will improve and protect freedom of speech
- Finally, we look into how the metaverse will bring in billions of new participants into the global economy.

In episode 123 we go over how we started in the metaverse and how the bear cycle has impacted the nascent space. We do an overview of where we are in the Bitcoin cycle and the results of the macro-economic conditions. We’re in an unprecedented state in the life of Bitcoin.

We revisit the old days of our podcast and how when we first started talking about the metaverse, almost nobody else was interested. We regularly had to question our sanity as the rest of the crypto market was focused on DeFi and NFTs. Now since Mark Zuckerberg has pivoted Facebook to the newly rebranded Meta, everyone is interested in the metaverse and why it will be important. We go into Decentraland and explore Metaverse Art Week and see some really cool displays. We then explore the paths to how humanity got to the point of creating these virtual environments to escape the real world. How will AI intersect with the metaverse and what will that do to the economy? Then we talk about the overall market maturing and turning into many independent sectors that have boom and bust cycles. Will DeFi be next?
Topics:
- First up, a busy week for us with our 1 year Rovi anniversary
- Next, we examine how Mark Zuckerberg is campaigning the Metaverse to the public
- Then, we take a look at Art Week in the Metaverse
- and Finally, we found a solution to the Liquidity problem of NFTs

121. TBR - Metaverse Before It was Cool, Tornado Cash Sanction & Is Crypto Doomed?
Thursday Aug 25, 2022
Thursday Aug 25, 2022
In today’s chat we discuss on Mark Cuban’s disgust on people buying digital land. Then we go over Tornado Cash sanctions and the wider implications on crypto. Did you know that USDC and USDT could be frozen? The United States can arbitrarily sanction anything in crypto which means all of crypto is at risk. In this scenario, all innovation will move outside of the US jurisdiction and leave the United States behind in a legacy financial system that the rest of the world will not participate in. Which is the best stable coin to hedge against this possibility?
Topics:
- First up, we go over where Bitcoin is going
- Next, Microsoft spends $69.7 Billion to acquire Activision Blizzard
- Then, Quantum entanglement and Bill Gates conspiracies?
- Finally, we break down what it takes to actually build the metaverse.

Vitalik Buterin sparks our debate on the merits of stock to flow and how it applies to Bitcoin. Is Vitalik right that stock to flow is a model that doesn’t apply to Bitcoin anymore or at all? The macro economics situation is another factor that is contributing to the value depression of Bitcoin in the last few weeks. The federal reserve has run out of options to get us out of the highest inflation since the 1980s. We discuss the ramifications of our current fiat monetary system.
Topics:
- First up, Vitalik tweets his position on stock to flow ratio on Bitcoin.
- Next, Iman and I go through the merits of stock to flow and why it can still model Bitcoin.
- Then, the current crypto prices are being affected by the macro economy

When we started this podcast, we predicted that there will be a phase of the industry that would see the adoption of cryptocurrencies at the country level. This level would be the last phase before we would have world wide adoption taking place. Today was the first step of that phase. El Salvador officially acknowledges Bitcoin as legal tender for the country. President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador is setting a precedence for the rest of the countries as the adoption of Bitcoin is imminent. The Colonial pipeline hack compromised a fundamental part of the US infrastructure, however did the FBI really compromise Bitcoin? Finally we debate on whether we're going to see a resurgence of Bitcoin and the field of cryptocurrencies sooner rather than later.
Topics:
- First up, El Salvador Makes Bitcoin Legal Tender
- Next, What Does it Mean for a Country to Get into Crypto
- Then, Can Ransom Ware Using Bitcoin as Payment Tarnish its Image?
- Finally, Will We See Bitcoin Make a Comeback Sooner Rather than Later?
