Episode 179 - Bitcoin- religion, and legibility of society
Good morning! This morning I got a bit philosophical and looked at how some people are comparing Bitcoin to a religion. I then go on to speak about centralization, surveillance, and legibility vs the organic nature of true decentralization. I am just touching the surface of this topic. There will be much more to come.
Good morning and happy Independence Day! Today I start by talking about why we have seen the surge in stablecoins for the first part of this year. Then I talk about dual mining ETH and ZIL and show you ezil.me. A Theta TV viewer Videotuber showed me this and gave me his promo code: ecbb. So if you use this mining pool, then please use his promo code. It's the least I can do for the great info I receive through this show.

Good morning! Yup. It's Monday. I start by talking about Kazakhstan unrest as the source of the Bitcoin dump. Then I talk about reality TV "star" selling her farts in a mason jar, who will now be switching to the NFT market. Hooray for NFT credibility!
Then I talk about Reimagined.Fi as another new DeFi 3.0 platform.

Good morning! This morning I take myself down a rabbit hole of trust and consensus in the Bitcoin Consensus Network. Is there really only 21 million Bitcoin? Can it be changed? Can someone take over the network and change the truth? Is Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme? Is money as we know it a ponzi scheme? Can a Ponzi-like structure actually be a good thing? What happens if the internet shuts down? Will Bitcoin survive? Are there nasty elements lurking in the shadows of the Bitcoin Network?
I have so many questions everyday. Here are some of the sources I found helping me to try to answer some of these questions:

Good morning sociopaths! I cover new decentralized social media platform and token Bitclout $BTCLT this morning. This project is scary. Could potentially be a beast of a project backed by celebs and very wealthy VCs. This project creates a token for your profile and people buy and sell it based on your current reputation. I can only see now the fragile personalities and shills this project will create. SMH. Watch as I create, activate and buy some BTCLT for my profile @EurekaJohn

Good morning cryptoheads! This morning I had the opportunity to interview Mike Philbert. Mike is a cybersecurity professional and the CEO of The Crypto Playground. As an extension of his passion for cybersecurity , he is seeking to build this platform out to create a VR learning experience to help people safely enter the crypto space and avoid scams and getting rekt. This was a really fun interview and I appreciate his time and energy. See below the links to this website and blog:

This was a really great interview. I can tell I was speaking with incredible intellect encased in a super-friendly personality. Humpty Calderon did an amazing job putting Ontology and Decentralized IDs in terms that I can understand. He made me want to dive way deeper into this project/ecosystem and learn as much as I possibly can. If you want to talk to Humpty and find out more hit him up on twitter or go to the links below and look him up on the Ontology Discord!

Good morning! It's Monday and I start out the week by reading over a complete mind-bender. This author present a unique out-of-the-box way of thinking about blockchain by expanding beyond the linear and moving it into multiple dimensions! I try my best to understand it, much less explain it...
