In our next installment of our Mythical Creature series we are joined by Andreas Antonopoulos! In our discussion we dive into the events necessary to cause mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. With the adoption of permissionless currency, how will governments of the world cope with a censorship resistant monetary system? We also discuss how cryptocurrency could change the power dynamic of the currency world reserve currency - the US dollar. We keep hearing the economy is at an all time high, but is there a possibility we might be at a tipping point for the world economy? We’re fast approaching the Bitcoin halvening which will render the inflation rate smaller than that of the US dollar. We find out how this might affect the US dollar and Bitcoin itself. One of Andreas’ presentation included the concept of one network multi-chain solution that will help tie many of the technologies together in a cohesive network. Finally, we ask Andreas’ thoughts on NFT’s and the application of it in the gaming industry such as Decentraland.
Topics:
- Does crypto need a catastrophic event for mass adoption to occur?
- Are we at a tipping point for the world economy?
- We go deeper on his one network multi chain concept.
- And Finally, we get his thoughts on NFT’s and Decentraland.

The feeling of despair can sometimes be confused with a pattern on a chart. We show real examples of despair by the sentiment of cryptocurrencies from different locations of the internet. The feeling is very real and is being felt by many, this is why many of the predictions of the bottom have some weight. The recent crypto purge just illustrates an example of why the crypto community advocates for censorship resistant technology. We look into what might have caused such a coordinated attack and then we look into how we can mitigate another attack using LBRY which is a peer to peer network where you can find content. Finally, we take a look at the performance of the S&P 500 as well as NASDAQ over the past decade.
Topics:
- First up we discuss the real feeling of despair.
- Then we discuss the recent crypto YouTube purge.
- Next we look into LBRY as a backup method to censorship
- And Finally the parabolic stage of the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ.

Today we go a little deeper in the NFT universe to bring on Joel Hubert and Mark Le, cofounders of Metalith.io. They are bringing the S&P 500 for the NFT space. Their first NFT on their platform is on the topic we tend to talk about a lot - Decentraland. We cover what aspects create value on land and how Metalith will help users understand how well the space is performing. We also discuss possible business models they could use and how the NFT space stretches to cover many aspects from collectibles to playable pieces that can traverse from game to game.

The reason Hex is getting a lot of attention from the crypto community is because there is a gut instant reaction when the claim is extremely high returns. We’ve seen the promise of high returns before with Bitconnect which officially tanked in January 2018. Many lost a ton of money and a similar risk has been resurrected with Hex. We take a look at the dump that occurred so violently with Matic and we discuss what might have caused it and how this crash correlates with the other Binance IEO tokens. Metalith is an interesting development in the NFT space. It directly impacts how to measure and gauge the sentiment of NFT’s overall with an early and special focus on Decentraland. We break down Metalith and we work on bringing the founders on the podcast. Finally Jack Dorsey unveils that he is working on a decentralized social media standards.
Topics:
- Hex might be an unregistered security.
- Matic takes a dump.
- Metalith gets funded!
- Shopin Founder charged with $42M fraud.
- SoMee Social
- Twitter Decentralized standards by Jack Dorsey.

For the last several weeks, Matic has been on a parabolic bull trend which does not happen frequently. One of the first Initial Exchange Offerings by Binance, its still their best performing IEO. Matic focuses on a side chain for Ethereum that improves on the scalability and the throughput of the network. While Matic is on this parabolic run, Ethereum just launched Istanbul which reduces the bottle neck and increases the network throughput by 200 transactions per second. A lot of action this week also brought us Hex coin brought to you by Richard Heart. This controversial coin is said to provide you large returns which sends up all kinds of flags. Peter McCormack, host of the popular podcast called What Bitcoin Did, joined a live stream with Richard Hart where mixed reactions resulted.

When we first heard of Decentraland, we were automatically hooked. We saw the ingredients of something that could really harness the value of blockchain technology in the form that most new technologies are introduced to the masses; gaming. Participating in the community in various ways, we’re seeing a pattern in the development community that wont lead to a thriving metaverse. We need the leading team in Decentraland to provide and encourage the development community to build recurring experience where a ROI is the centerpiece of the experience. The holiday season is a good time to look back at progress and we discovered some early comments on Bitcoin from people reading Satoshi’s white paper in 2009. With the launch of the controversial Hex coin from Richard Hart, we briefly discuss the proposition it provides and we make a first pass on whether or not its worth your attention. Finally we look at the stock to flow chart compared to Bitcoin’s price and we discuss what might come next for Bitcoin.
Topics:
- Decentraland will get big because you can make crypto from it - if they do it right.
- We discuss Comments on Bitcoin from 2009!
- We try to figure out What’s up with the $Hex coin?
- We take a look at the Stock to Flow chart against $Bitcoin’s price.

The first ever live stream occurred during the Cybertruck reveal to successful results. Make sure you watch our live reactions on our Youtube channel to see our initial thoughts on the new Tesla pickup truck. The most polarizing vehicle to date takes some time to warm up to. We’ve already seen a large majority of detractors begin to like the Cybertruck and we feel the same way. The MakerDAO have made an update where they’re introducing the multi collaterally backed DAI as opposed the single collateral SAI. We also get into explaining the DAI Savings Rate and what that means for the DeFi ecosystem. Bitcoin has hit a 4 month low at $6,500 and we discuss what might be causing this.
- We debrief on our first Cybertruck live stream reveal!
- What is the difference between the single collateral sai versus the new Dai.
- What is a Multi collateral Dai

We follow up on our last podcast on China’s cryptocurrency. We discuss whether the masses will use any country sponsored digital currency and how a China developed digital currency will more likely compete with Facebook’s Libra currency. With all the social media dapps that spring up, we discuss how the future of earning money could change as a result. The Twetch app is another example of how one can earn some income by posting on a Twitter style dapp where users own their own content and get paid because of it. When it comes to income, automation is accelerating at a staggering pace. We wonder what alternative that is better than UBI to provide a source of income for those displaced by automation. EOS is dominating blockchain activity compared to their competitors, we discuss how this is possible with the evidence that is contradicting.
Topics:
- The Chinese digital currency on its way.
- Twetch app and the future of earning money.
- Is there an alternative to UBI for a response to automation?
- Dapps on $EOS.

William and Iman recap the progress of our podcast and we evaluate our enthusiasm for the show. We summarize our thoughts on this journey and we discuss our previous podcasts and interviews we had. We’re working on scheduling an interview with John McAfee to get a run down on his thoughts on a wide range of topics. A question I don’t see come up at all is how much Universal Basic Income is too much UBI? We also have many questions surrounding artificial intelligence and we want to encourage anyone in the field to come talk with us and explain how it works. In a video with Max Keiser, he discusses how China has been accumulating good in preparation for a gold backed cryptocurrency that could bypass any dependency on the current world reserve currency.
Topics:
- We Recap our podcast and we self evalutate the progress.
- We prepare for an interview with John McAfee next week.
- How much UBI is too much UBI?
- We invite an AI engineer to join the podcast, if you want to join hit us up on twitter/email/discord.
- and finally, China accumulates gold & prepares their own cryptocurrency.
