In this episode I look at the new Orange DID service by Microstrategy, and then talk about DID in general along with IQ.wiki and AI-driven IQGPT.

In this episode I speak about how tech innovation always starts with fun, much like the fart noise pages when the internet started.  Then I go into memecoins on Degen chain and poke around things there.

In this episode 512 I spoke with Chris Eberle (DeFiGinger) on the current state of web3/crypto. We initiated the interview as a way to test multiple livestreams on Twitter, YouTube, and Unlonely.app, but it serendipitously turned into a great interview. You can find Chris on his podcast through Crypto Sapiens at cryptosapiens.xyz You can find him on X at: https://twitter.com/defiginger Warpcast: https://warpcast.com/defiginger   Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/prigida/sapphireLicense code: F0YYSLQIOOPWONKR

In this episode I am checking in on some projects I have been working on.  One of the things I emphasize this week is how web3 content creation apps are bringing out the weirdness in the same way that public television and UHF did in the 80's and 90's. 

In this episode I make my debut as an onchain and open source podcaster using a combination of vdo.ninja, OBS, Unlonely.app (using livepeer) and Hypersub. I will be minting these on Zora as well. Let's see how this experiment works!

In this episode I bring back Magic Mike on the show since his last appearance 2.5 years ago on episode 201. We speak about the evolution of meme coins into "culture coins". These projects have transcended memes and now have cultural utility and social impact. Mike is a part of the funny, or vulgar, depending on your perspective BAWLS ONU culture coin community built in the Avalanche blockchain ecosystem. On the surface level, BAWLS ONU is about as mature as a middle school football team, but underneath the hood, BAWLS is building a community for fun, for memes, for gaming, and for social impact into men's health.

In this episode I speak with Devin Sawyer, one of the SciFi comic book series LegendsOfCypher.io.  After a couple of decades in the banking industry, Devin went down the web3 rabbithole and found a world of opportunity to combine his passion for technology with his passion for SciFi and comics with a community of other web3 driven folks he met in a DAO.   The SciFi project Legends of Cypher creates a universe where Humanity faces a choice: a future where they are free to choose their own path — for good or ill — or the Centopoly, which offers its vision of peace and prosperity through the Metric.  This is a modern play on the classic never-ending struggle between predestination and free-will.   This project is a culmination of two years of a collaboration between Devin, Crayons, and other web3 and SciFi dystopia enthusiasts who started with an idea and met consistently to build on this idea.  It is now taking off into some amazing finished products with lots more coming.   You can participate and support this project by going to LegendsOfCypher.io and buying the comic books with traditional fiat money, or by buying the NFT which are a passport into the products and also in to many other perks now and into the future.  You can find the project on X (Twitter) at: @LegendsOfCypher

Good morning! Warning! This episode is pretty much a lLongwinded rant & ramble about the haters of the bDAO Arbitrum Proposal. I basically made this episode to help defend my BanklessDAO community against the hordes of numbskull crypto twitter haters who are criticizing the proposal some members of BanklessDAO made to the Arbitrum DAO. Artibutrum can either approve, deny, or approve with revisions. But that is their choice. Everything else is just noise. I am sure even some folks at BanklessDAO will be politely asking me to shut up after this vid saying "Thanks, but no thanks!". Lol

In this episode I interview Prince Jindal and Jung Won Kim, the Founders of Lantern Finance.  Lantern Finance seeks to create a place for the non-technical crypto-interested person to safely land in the crypto space and be able to enjoy things like staking ETH securely without risk of exchange implosion, or on the other side have to have a high degree of technical knowledge.   We discuss lots of the basics like what the difference between custodial and non-custodial are, KYC and AML, and staking.  If you are new to crypto, this is a great episode for you!   Sources: lantern.finance Twitter (X): @LanternFi

Good morning!  I am trying to get back to doing morning livestreams on YouTube.  This morning was a sort of test run.  I think it worked ok.  This episode has a little more rambling than usual, but that's because it is live and unedited!     Source: https://safe.mirror.xyz/V965PykKzlE1PCuWxBjsCJR12WscLcnMxuvR9E9bP-Y

In this episode I explore a couple of niche apps. One is whal3s.xyz which is an app to easily create webhooks to give you notification for on-chain events. The other is mean.finance, a decentralized way to DCA (dollart cost average) your crypto investments away from centralized exhanges. Sources: https://www.whal3s.xyz/ https://mean.finance/

Good morning! In this episode I briefly cover a rough definition of the concepts behind decentralized ID. With the movement of our identities and lives into the digital space in the last 10 or so years, we have come to a fork in the road. Will all our info be centralized and as a result surveilled and controlled? Or are we doing to decentralize and make anonymous our information to maintain our sovereignty? I define zk-proofs and then take a look at a project called Holonym.io that uses zk-proofs and a mixer to create an anonymous online digital passport.
