Joel Comm: Bank runs appear to be the in thing for 2023
Joel Comm: and Bitcoin seems to be holding its own as the
Joel Comm: hedge against the collapse of the US dollar. Tim Draper
Joel Comm: even recommends that startups hold bitcoin for that very reason.
Joel Comm: Now the US government's going after CS and Binance for
Joel Comm: selling illegal securities. Elon Musk trolls Twitter users and Dogecoin
Joel Comm: Pops 30%. Jp morgan Trolls ripple on behalf of the
Joel Comm: SEC and the courts are trolling Michael Turpin in his
Joel Comm: bid to recover $24 million that was lost when his
Joel Comm: SIM was swapped and boy, is he pissed. As for us, well,
Joel Comm: we're going to continue trolling you on this bad news.
Joel Comm: Episode number 677. Of the Bad Crypto podcast.
S2: 543010.
UU: It's the Who's bad.
Joel Comm: Welcome to the crypto podcast. The show for the crypto
Joel Comm: curious in the crypto serious we are trolling and.
Joel Comm: Rolling and Travis saying.
Travis Wright: That is good. Yeah I bet they're thinking at this
Travis Wright: point like oh, they're going to troll us. Like why
Travis Wright: do I even listen to this show? Because you have
Travis Wright: a sense of humor. You love technology and you have
Travis Wright: a sense of humor, so you've come to the right place.
Travis Wright: If you take in life a little too serious, you
Travis Wright: might be in the wrong place. But if you like
Travis Wright: to crack jokes and have fun, be a little bit
Travis Wright: of a smart ass. Make make corn jokes. You're in
Travis Wright: the right place. You have found bad. Crypto is not bad.
Travis Wright: We are.
Joel Comm: We are. But are the markets bad? I don't know.
Joel Comm: Let's take a look. Timestamp is the 4th of April
Joel Comm: at 1:30 p.m.. Atlantic Standard Time. Total Crypto Market cap
Joel Comm: $1.2 trillion. Bitcoin 28,001 61 Ethereum on a 9% run
Joel Comm: this week. Look at that spike up 1870 BNB 311.
Joel Comm: Even with the news we're going to share about XRP
Joel Comm: has been on a little bit of a move this week.
Joel Comm: $0.50 Cardano 39, Dogecoin, nine and a half cents. Polygon
Joel Comm: a buck 14. What do we got for big winners
Joel Comm: this week? 12. Holy cow. What is. Oh, look at that. Well.
Travis Wright: That's pretty impressive. I'm not even heard of that. But
Travis Wright: look at that 24 hour volume, almost $900 million. That
Travis Wright: to me says, Travis, you should probably look into that
Travis Wright: and see what that is, because I've not researched that.
Travis Wright: Casper never heard of Casper. I have heard of Casper Network,
Travis Wright: which is great. And then look at Dogecoin right there, 30%.
Travis Wright: That was pretty impressive. And there's some other stuff that's
Travis Wright: been popping up as well, but we're looking at Joel screen.
Travis Wright: So there we go. Those are the yeah, we'll.
Joel Comm: We it might be time for a maybe not a
Joel Comm: crypto roulette but for us to do a show where
Joel Comm: we go through the top hundred and look at some
Joel Comm: of these that we have no idea what they are.
Travis Wright: I think maybe the top 300 might be good because
Travis Wright: top 100 is is is a certain class. But it's
Travis Wright: like those ones that are I think are the ones
Travis Wright: that are like 75 to 150 is like a really
Travis Wright: good range probably because it's like those are the ones
Travis Wright: that could, you know, you can go from 150 and
Travis Wright: next thing you know you're in the top 20 if
Travis Wright: something hits big, right? So maybe what we'll do in
Travis Wright: the near future is we'll take a look at some
Travis Wright: of those maybe number 75 to 225 or something. I'm
Travis Wright: looking at 150 of them and see like what's out there.
Travis Wright: So it's interesting. I think I don't dislike that idea
Travis Wright: at all.
Joel Comm: I'm going to look at number 232 because now you
Joel Comm: got me on a thing here and I'm just going
Joel Comm: to be totally random and go number 232 is Energy Web.
Joel Comm: Never heard of it. Not going to dig into it
Joel Comm: right now. Going to go into the story here about Bitcoin,
Joel Comm: liquidity has dropped to a ten month low and it's
Joel Comm: it's getting harder, I guess, for people to to get
Joel Comm: the coins that they want because of the banking crisis.
Joel Comm: And that's where like when Bitcoin eventually does do the
Joel Comm: pop pop, it's going to be because people can't get
Joel Comm: their bitcoin and they're going to buy them for whatever
Joel Comm: they want. Remember, gang, there's only 21 million Bitcoin ever.
Joel Comm: About 19.5 million have been mined. It's going to be
Joel Comm: 100 years before the final Bitcoin is mined. You got
Joel Comm: to figure that 4 million are lost. A bunch are
Joel Comm: in strong hands that are never selling. So you've got
Joel Comm: 8 billion people around the world that are going to
Joel Comm: be clawing their way for about, what, 13 million Bitcoin
Joel Comm: that is?
Travis Wright: Yeah, I don't know if you mentioned how many are
Travis Wright: potentially lost, but that's like I've heard we've heard as
Travis Wright: few as 2 million. I've heard as many as 5
Travis Wright: million are lost, like how many are lost? And that
Travis Wright: says how many of them are selling them, How many
Travis Wright: people are wanting to get rid of their cryptos. Right?
Travis Wright: So it would almost seem that the you know, on
Travis Wright: a normal cycle, Bitcoin might not be ready to rock
Travis Wright: and roll on a normal cycle. But if you've looked
Travis Wright: at this economy, this is anything other than normal at
Travis Wright: this point. And this could be the mother of all
Travis Wright: for the collapse of well, we know the banking of
Travis Wright: crypto friendly banks are starting to go away. It's almost
Travis Wright: like when you see the Restrict act and some of
Travis Wright: the other stuff that's going on. Joel It's almost like
Travis Wright: crypto is under fire big time in America. It's almost
Travis Wright: like the elites have said, we don't like it almost.
Joel Comm: It's I'm trying.
Travis Wright: I'm trying to not be a conspiracy guy all the time.
Joel Comm: That's clearly under fire. There's not even a question about it.
Joel Comm: Now you have exchanges volunteering. I got an email.
Joel Comm: From Bittrex, which I've used in the past, and they're like.
Joel Comm: Hey, you know what guys do.
Joel Comm: To questions about regulation? We're going to stop offering to
Joel Comm: us customers, You got 30 days to get your stuff out.
Joel Comm: So yeah, so long.
Travis Wright: Have a good yeah, with my son. Last night we
Travis Wright: told him about it and he was like, Oh my God, really?
Travis Wright: And he got.
S5: A bunch of his stuff.
S6: Off of there.
Travis Wright: And Julie had a great conversation with him last night. Actually,
Travis Wright: we got I got on Discord Server we were working
Travis Wright: on and I ended up having like a three hour conversation.
Travis Wright: If you have teenagers or somebody who's in their young
Travis Wright: 20s or, you know, under the age of 30, get
Travis Wright: on discord with them and have a video call like
Travis Wright: you would normally have on a Zoom business call or something.
Travis Wright: I think that's the kid's choice of place to hang out.
Travis Wright: And so give them a call and hang out and
Travis Wright: share your screen. I was teaching him all kinds of
Travis Wright: AI stuff last night. Joel Which was pretty fun.
Joel Comm: Nice. You know, one of the traditional hedges against the
Joel Comm: the dollar falling has been precious metals. And just, you know,
Joel Comm: to point out crazy times. Look at this, the price
Joel Comm: of gold back over $2,000 an ounce and silver. Yeah.
Joel Comm: I mean, you could see when the when the rails,
Joel Comm: you know, wheels started really falling off here off the
Joel Comm: banking system and ba boom.
Travis Wright: There's not even that big of like, oh my God,
Travis Wright: look at that. Yeah. It's gone up 2%.
S7: Yeah.
Travis Wright: Right. I mean, it's like not huge, but any, I mean, realistically,
Travis Wright: in my opinion, Joel Gold should be probably $20,000 an
Travis Wright: ounce if not $200,000 an ounce. Really.
Joel Comm: Thing is, we don't know what if, what if, you know,
Joel Comm: huge deposits of gold or in silver are discovered on Mars,
Joel Comm: You know, all of a sudden there's like we don't
Joel Comm: they they estimate how much is in the earth and
Joel Comm: how much is in supply. But all of a sudden
Joel Comm: they could discover all these.
Travis Wright: It's not finite. It's not like Bitcoin where there's only
Travis Wright: 21 million because we could literally be there could be
Travis Wright: a big, huge comet that flies by or some asteroid
Travis Wright: that's all precious metals mostly. And there's a lot of
Travis Wright: scientists who think that that's a probability, is that there's,
Travis Wright: you know, big meteor meteors or asteroids. I'm like, Dude,
Travis Wright: give me some of them's or or maybe we just
Travis Wright: need to learn some alchemy. Joel, and turn lead into
Travis Wright: gold and be like, Oh, I need to turn lead
Travis Wright: into Bitcoin. I get into gold, trade it for Bitcoin.
Travis Wright: That'd be.
S6: Pretty good. Well, that's.
Joel Comm: What we do as entrepreneurs, right? We're always doing alchemy
Joel Comm: and spinning nothing into into something.
S6: So thoughts, into things.
Joel Comm: This thing about season. So bitcoin is up crazily even
Joel Comm: though Binance and CC could be in trouble. And you know,
Joel Comm: in this story he is under investigation by US regulators
Joel Comm: and is wanted by Interpol. And so like Binance is,
Joel Comm: is not the last exchange by any measure. There's a
Joel Comm: lot of exchanges. But in terms of one that has
Joel Comm: served US customers to some degree and is the biggest
Joel Comm: in the world, this is kind of a big deal.
Travis Wright: This is the to me, it seems like it's it's
Travis Wright: the final frontier, right? And it's like, here we are.
Travis Wright: We're we're fighting for decentralization. But now what's happening? People
Travis Wright: who go, oh, no joke about conspiracies.
S6: And government has nothing to it.
Travis Wright: Government has everything to do with this whole thing. That's like.
Travis Wright: So when we talk about some of these conspiracy theories,
Travis Wright: it's not so much about, you know, all these people
Travis Wright: are bad because I don't think most politicians are bad.
Travis Wright: I think there's a few that are nefarious and they
Travis Wright: are so in it for their own public gain that
Travis Wright: they don't want to see other people have gains. And so,
Travis Wright: you know, it would seem to me, based on what
Travis Wright: I know and the research that I've done around and
Travis Wright: the conversation we've had with this dude, they seem to
Travis Wright: try to do everything on the up and up as
Travis Wright: much as possible. And it's like if they want to
Travis Wright: go after people. Joel Why is Sam Bankman-fried? Why do
Travis Wright: they just let him go? He came to America and
Travis Wright: he was immediately out of jail. Why? Because he donated
Travis Wright: millions and millions of dollars to a certain political class
Travis Wright: of people who said, okay, you go now we want
Travis Wright: to take down the other people and make people scared
Travis Wright: to even do business in America. Right. So they can
Travis Wright: then kill all the crypto on and off ramps. How
Travis Wright: do you hedge your bet on this? Get yourself some
Travis Wright: Bitcoin because worst case scenario is you're going to have
Travis Wright: Bitcoin be able to trade Bitcoin to Bitcoin and circumvent
Travis Wright: the system that is crashing anyways. Basically, we're going to
Travis Wright: be moving to a BRICS economy before we know it.
Travis Wright: As the dollar becomes worth less and less and less sounds.
Joel Comm: So conspiracy theory and yet all you got to do
Joel Comm: is look and go, This is exactly what's happening right
Joel Comm: before your eyes. And conspiracy theorists are pretty much batting
Joel Comm: a thousand. So Tim Draper, always the optimist as far
Joel Comm: as Bitcoin is concerned, says, Hey, if you're in a startup,
Joel Comm: then you probably want to have some Bitcoin as a
Joel Comm: hedge because you know what money you do have. If
Joel Comm: it's in the banks, it might not necessarily be safe
Joel Comm: and he he might be right about that. Of course,
Joel Comm: you know, if we went back and look at how
Joel Comm: many times Tim claimed something, predicted something, especially the price
Joel Comm: of bitcoin you know he's he's been extremely optimistic about
Joel Comm: where the price of bitcoin is going even in the short. Term.
Joel Comm: And it just it doesn't move like he always says
Joel Comm: it's going to.
Travis Wright: But we're in a place now, Joel, where the liquidity
Travis Wright: of available bitcoin is low, lowest that it's been in
Travis Wright: ten months, it's going to get lower and less and less.
Travis Wright: People are going to want to sell their Bitcoin. It's
Travis Wright: going to get to a point where people aren't willing
Travis Wright: to sell it at this price and so that's going
Travis Wright: to move the prices up. Once Bitcoin starts cruising up,
Travis Wright: most all the other bitcoins are going to start cruising
Travis Wright: up as well. And so then a big bull run
Travis Wright: is going to happen. So we are at the precipice
Travis Wright: of potentially an unprecedented bull run due to the fact
Travis Wright: of aggressive regulation and people trying to put the kibosh
Travis Wright: on crypto. For one, they never understood it. Now they're
Travis Wright: at the point, Oh shit, It's kind of a it's
Travis Wright: kind of a threat. How do we stop it? Oh, well,
Travis Wright: we got to start killing the banks that are most
Travis Wright: crypto friendly. Oh, which one do they start with? Which
Travis Wright: one goes down? Oh, Silicon Valley Bank, which houses and
Travis Wright: helps all these entrepreneurs. So it's interesting. Is there a
Travis Wright: battle going on? Most likely. Is this financial advice? No. However,
Travis Wright: pay attention because, you know, there's a lot of stuff
Travis Wright: going on. And you know what? I was having a
Travis Wright: conversation with Chris Snook the other day, and I think
Travis Wright: I mentioned it on another show, but it's like there's
Travis Wright: no shortage of things to look at. If you want
Travis Wright: to complain about something, there's no shortage of things to
Travis Wright: look and find that upsets you. One of the things
Travis Wright: that we like to do on this show, which we
Travis Wright: have done for the longest time, but we still talk
Travis Wright: about some of the things that that we bitch about
Travis Wright: because we don't like. We're going to let you know
Travis Wright: about them. But we also bring really amazing technologies as
Travis Wright: we learn, as we as we try to help everyone
Travis Wright: understand that things could get a little crazy. So let's
Travis Wright: all figure this stuff out so we can find a
Travis Wright: solution to help us.
S6: Avoid.
Travis Wright: Massive craziness. And, you know, we're looking for the optimistic
Travis Wright: things and trying to intend and create great things. But
Travis Wright: sometimes there's just crazy shit going on and it's hard
Travis Wright: not to talk about it.
Joel Comm: Joel And on the last episode we had Maine Senator,
Joel Comm: State Senator Brakey on and talked about legislation that was
Joel Comm: going to be coming before the the Maine Senate. So
Joel Comm: John Deaton is going to be testifying before Maine State
Joel Comm: for a crypto policy. This has to do with the
Joel Comm: bill that Senator Brakey is going to bring to to people.
Joel Comm: And John Deaton has been chosen by the XRP community
Joel Comm: to to represent the first crypto policy. It's going to
Joel Comm: follow the standard of the Wyoming laws that have passed.
Joel Comm: Of course, Caitlin Long, friend of the show, has been
Joel Comm: with us many times, is helping support the the Bills advancement. And,
Joel Comm: you know, XRP is just one of those things that
Joel Comm: the people that are in the community, the true fanboys,
Joel Comm: they just they're like Bitcoin purists. They can't see anything else.
Joel Comm: And I'm not saying it's a good or a bad thing. I'm,
Joel Comm: I'm fine. Any, I think any crypto other than the
Joel Comm: Cbdcs and the Fed coin is probably going to be
Joel Comm: good for crypto. But I like to look at all
Joel Comm: these things and if XRP ends up going boom, then
Joel Comm: I'm fine.
Travis Wright: I would not be surprised. I mean, think about it,
Travis Wright: it's all time high. Was $3 in something. And the
Travis Wright: reason the price is so low right now is because
Travis Wright: it's not easy to buy for a lot of people. Like,
Travis Wright: I can't we can't go out and buy any XRP
Travis Wright: on Coinbase like we used to or some of these
Travis Wright: other ones. There's probably some VPNs and some other things
Travis Wright: to try to go. But that's a that's a big
Travis Wright: hoop you got to jump through. And then a lot
Travis Wright: of these exchanges have been doing what they can to
Travis Wright: try to match regulations and be like, okay, we're going
Travis Wright: to try to work with you guys. But the powers
Travis Wright: that be don't seem to try to be working with them.
Travis Wright: They're just trying to create these these ridiculous rules. And
Travis Wright: but I like what you said about that, about Ripple and,
Travis Wright: you know, some of the things that's going on on that.
Travis Wright: It was $0.35 not long ago. Here it is, $0.50.
Travis Wright: This right here could be poised to go kaput.
Joel Comm: Well, and this is something interesting in this that the
Joel Comm: question is, is the SEC being influenced by JPMorgan in
Joel Comm: this ripple lawsuit? There's a Freedom of Information Act that's
Joel Comm: been put in saying, hey, is.
Joel Comm: There something shady going on Here is always.
S6: Some shady going.
Joel Comm: On. And the answer is yes, of.
Joel Comm: Course there is.
Joel Comm: Of course there is.
Joel Comm: You're talking with people that are they're greedy. They're just
Joel Comm: in this for themselves. They want to stop anything that's
Joel Comm: a threat to them. And there's some confidential documents and
Joel Comm: communications that are being asked for. I really don't know
Joel Comm: how this whole thing is going to pan out, but
Joel Comm: I sure hope that Ripple I'm not cheering for XRP
Joel Comm: as a coin necessarily. I'm not not cheering for it,
Joel Comm: but I would like to see the government lose this case.
Joel Comm: Well, any time the government.
Travis Wright: The judge and the jury. And if those are stacked,
Travis Wright: you know what happens when that happens. And now fun news.
Travis Wright: Dogecoin exploded. I don't think I saw this or not,
Travis Wright: but Elon Musk changed the Twitter icon from the bird
Travis Wright: to the doge there.
S6: And there it is with how.
Travis Wright: It went up 30 something percent originally. Overall, this was
Travis Wright: out yesterday. I think it was up 37% as of
Travis Wright: now in the last seven days.
S6: So this is.
Joel Comm: Trolling right here. This is master level trolling that have no.
Travis Wright: What could they say that?
S6: Oh, you put a doge logo up there. That's doge manipulation.
Travis Wright: Like if he has a bunch of dogecoin and he
Travis Wright: changed that logo and put it up there because that's
Travis Wright: his stake holding, can they come at him and say.
S6: Hey, you were manipulating your crypto Do like.
Travis Wright: Because they could probably bust him on that because we
Travis Wright: used to be land of the free. But it seems like.
S6: Those kind of he doesn't care.
Joel Comm: He doesn't care. He just does not care. He's like,
Joel Comm: I'm the richest man in the world. Screw you. I'm
Joel Comm: going to do what I want. Look, he posted this
Joel Comm: meme pulled over by a cop as a doge, pulled
Joel Comm: over by a police officer, and he's got wings on
Joel Comm: them and he's showing the driver's license to the police
Joel Comm: officer and he's got a Twitter bud and burn on it.
Joel Comm: And the doge says that's an old photo.
Joel Comm: I mean that's just.
Joel Comm: That's, that's so Elon Yeah.
Travis Wright: So I'm using the new app, I'm not using Twitter anymore,
Travis Wright: I'm using Dozer, which is.
S6: It's.
Travis Wright: The new Twitter I guess I just recently went through down.
Travis Wright: So my tweet stream typically lasts about 30 days and
Travis Wright: but then whatever bot I was using to clear out
Travis Wright: those old ones weren't clearing them out. So I had
Travis Wright: stuff going all the way back to like November. So
Travis Wright: I just cleared all of my stuff, so there shouldn't
Travis Wright: be any tweets of mine that's older than a month
Travis Wright: because you never know. Like sometimes I'll get on a
Travis Wright: little rant phase and I'll be like responding to people.
Travis Wright: Then I got all right, I got to I got.
S6: To delete all those.
Joel Comm: That reminds me, I'm probably do I do the same thing?
Joel Comm: I like treating them as ephemeral. I feel like they
Joel Comm: should be treated like Snapchat used to treat content. You
Joel Comm: put it up and 24 hours, it's later, it's gone. Like,
Joel Comm: what's the point of having old tweets unless you're trying
Joel Comm: to get somebody finally from space, from beyond? We got
Joel Comm: done talking about Elon Musk. He's doing stuff out there
Joel Comm: in space. Well, there is a satellite that is orbiting Earth.
Joel Comm: It is blockchain powered, a crypto SAT, and it's going
Joel Comm: to be a contributor to this Ethereum K, Z, G ceremony.
Joel Comm: This is part of the cryptographic foundation for Ethereum scaling.
Joel Comm: And this contribution is coming from outer space. What exactly
Joel Comm: is it going to do?
S6: How does it all.
Travis Wright: NICHOLS.
S6: McCluskey.
Travis Wright: What is this? Is that what did it say? Is
Travis Wright: this the honor, the KGB, the G? Oh, that's different.
Travis Wright: It's like thought they were talking about the FBI for
Travis Wright: a minute. I was like, what do you mean the KGB?
Joel Comm: Anyway, so there's a beacon out there in space and
Joel Comm: the satellites going to be sending data that can be
Joel Comm: verified with the use of this public key that was
Joel Comm: created in space. And this is pointy headed stuff that,
Joel Comm: you know, I don't understand, but it's kind of to me,
Joel Comm: it's just cool that, hey, there's a satellite out there
Joel Comm: and it's on the blockchain and and it's going to
Joel Comm: be sending packets, you know, back to Earth to do
Joel Comm: some crazy stuff.
S6: And, and I wonder how.
Travis Wright: Long until Elon Musk does that with with StarLink, you
Travis Wright: know what I mean? It's like you're using StarLink. And
Travis Wright: if you're using that with the Internet, then you're earning
Travis Wright: some StarLink tokens or something. You know, it's like there
Travis Wright: could be something cool with all of that. He's got
Travis Wright: all these satellites already up there doing stuff, bro.
Joel Comm: A couple new reviews here, five stars. We appreciate that
Joel Comm: by awesome show host and guest Joel and Travis. A
Joel Comm: unique way of making everything entertaining, even tax. I've listened
Joel Comm: to them since 2020 have learned so much about crypto
Joel Comm: nfts and the macro implications of these. The NFT drops
Joel Comm: have been a great help in understanding how it all works.
Joel Comm: They're now also getting into AI, and I look forward
Joel Comm: to the perspective. Of course they're talking about the bad
Joel Comm: AI show which you can go and check out, subscribe
Joel Comm: either audio or video version. Bad AI show is the
Joel Comm: the place that you want to do that. And listeners
Joel Comm: of that show are having opportunities to get nfts that
Joel Comm: listeners of this show don't have because you know, you
Joel Comm: got to listen to both all the shows, right?
S6: Yes.
Travis Wright: As Joe mentioned, you got to be part of it
Travis Wright: to to be able to participate. So one of the
Travis Wright: things that is really fun that we're doing is this
Travis Wright: nifty club here, bad crypto dot uncut slash our network
Travis Wright: if you just go we originally it was bad.
S6: Crypto.uncut.fm now it's a little bit longer.
Travis Wright: Goes to the same place but we have this little
Travis Wright: card right here, which is now $3.74 because the price
Travis Wright: of Ethereum has gone up. But this right here is
Travis Wright: the the bad crypto. Don't nifty club you get this
Travis Wright: and this will allow you to get some airdrops. But
Travis Wright: then every once in a while we also have things
Travis Wright: you can claim on your own. You've got to go
Travis Wright: into the platform and go claim them. Now, we did
Travis Wright: this with this character called Captain Corn. Captain Corn was
Travis Wright: one of the very first nfts the very first day
Travis Wright: that I got access to Midjourney, I created Captain Corn
Travis Wright: and we put him out as an NFT, one of
Travis Wright: our very first nfts that we launched.
S6: He's great.
Travis Wright: You could claim it.
S6: Well, he's turned into a whole world. Joel Yeah.
Joel Comm: Yeah. You have been really having a lot of fun
Joel Comm: with AI, and you've created not just these nfts, these
Joel Comm: ten king wizards and a corn wizards and a king,
Joel Comm: but a whole story. There's a discord and there's big
Joel Comm: plans for this. And if you had the corn captain corn,
Joel Comm: you got dropped. Each one of these, there's ten of
Joel Comm: them and you received one of these randomly into your wallet.
Joel Comm: If you missed out on these, there's going to be
Joel Comm: opportunities to get others, but there's going to be corn queens.
Joel Comm: There's going to be corn princes and babies. There's going
Joel Comm: to be stories. We're talking about maybe doing, you know,
Joel Comm: a show production around this. This is this could turn
Joel Comm: into something really special. And you guys don't want to
Joel Comm: miss it. So go to bad crypto.uncut.fm and make sure
Joel Comm: you pick up one of the bad crypto nifty club Nfts.
Joel Comm: You'll find that one depending on which page you go
Joel Comm: to at the top or the bottom. That's it right there.
Joel Comm: We wanted to give them away, but then bots get them.
Joel Comm: So we're charging you 0.002 eath, which currently is $3.74
Joel Comm: Pony up and you'll be getting some cool stuff from us.
Travis Wright: Yeah, we have fun with that. And so one of
Travis Wright: the ideas what's so funny about this corn thing is
Travis Wright: it started with the corn poop joke because corn is
Travis Wright: the only food you get to see twice as it
Travis Wright: comes visit you and you listen to bad crypto. You know,
Travis Wright: we got these corny jokes all the time. Well, now,
Travis Wright: now let's turn into a corn kingdom. And it seems
Travis Wright: to me that as we build this thing out, it
Travis Wright: becomes a mixture of sort of like the Care Bears
Travis Wright: meets Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones, meets the Sweet
Travis Wright: Pickles book series from back in the day. Right? So
Travis Wright: there's like all these little maybe vegetables thrown in there,
Travis Wright: a little bit of that. And so kids, Joel and
Travis Wright: I were having this conversation the other day when we
Travis Wright: were kids. You know, we got to see Sesame Street,
Travis Wright: early stages of that. Joel You got to see the
Travis Wright: very first episode of that live, right?
Joel Comm: I did. My mom, I remember my mom picking up
Joel Comm: the TV Guide and say, you know, sweetie, there's a
Joel Comm: new show on with these puppets, but they're called Muppets
Joel Comm: and it starts today. Do you want to watch it?
Joel Comm: And I was like, Yeah, you know, it's probably five
Joel Comm: years old, 4 or 5 years old. And we we
Joel Comm: watched it together. And so I still remember her coming
Joel Comm: to me and asking me if I wanted to watch
Joel Comm: the show and have all the weird things you could remember. Yeah.
Joel Comm: From your childhood.
Travis Wright: But yeah, Sesame Street is so impactful. It was like, whoa, like, yeah,
Travis Wright: Like I remember like, all those songs, they had like,
Travis Wright: positive messages and you had Mister Rogers. So PBS back
Travis Wright: in the day was all about empowering children. Now most
Travis Wright: media is about indoctrinating in some way their own beliefs.
Travis Wright: And so let's get back to a morality sort of base.
Travis Wright: Here are some emotions everybody has to deal with. Here
Travis Wright: are things and challenges everyone has to deal with, but
Travis Wright: you got to work through those on your own to
Travis Wright: become a healthy adult because we all have issues we
Travis Wright: got to deal with. And so that's kind of what
Travis Wright: the thought process is on this as it has evolved
Travis Wright: into its own corny kingdom of Cornucopia.

Joel Comm: of you sticking with us after the disclaimer, by the way,
Joel Comm: the disclaimer still covers stuff that comes after the disclaimer.
Joel Comm: It doesn't have to be sequential. Back in episode 235,
Joel Comm: our friend Michael Turpin was on talking about the $24
Joel Comm: million in crypto that he had stolen. I just heard
Joel Comm: from his press person and apparently the courts have dismissed
Joel Comm: the case that he has. I mean, I'm just going
Joel Comm: to read this. I'm shocked and baffled by this ruling.
Joel Comm: This decision is especially mystifying since the court twice previously
Joel Comm: refused to dismiss the case. Sadly, the opinion ignores long
Joel Comm: standing federal law and a mountain of evidence that AT&T
Joel Comm: was grossly negligent and consciously disregarded its legal duties to
Joel Comm: protect its customers from this type of cyber crime. He
Joel Comm: goes on to say, It's a sad day in America
Joel Comm: when a victim of blatant Internet theft of $24 million
Joel Comm: enabled by AT&T is deprived of his day in court.
Joel Comm: And he goes on to say, I intend to appeal
Joel Comm: immediately to the Ninth Circuit, where I'm confident that I
Joel Comm: will prevail. It's an important case for consumers who are
Joel Comm: entitled to the protection of their data. And he he
Joel Comm: is not happy. And so we thought we would share
Joel Comm: that with you as well and hope that he does
Joel Comm: indeed prevail.
S6: Yeah.
Travis Wright: So, you know what? Here's the thing. I would look
Travis Wright: at it like this. You know, if we had a
Travis Wright: true justice system when we could go in and follow
Travis Wright: the money, you'd be like, well, it'd be a lot
Travis Wright: better for AT&T to pay a couple of million dollars
Travis Wright: to a circuit judge or somebody. Right. Who can have
Travis Wright: the power maybe some day or something that can make
Travis Wright: something disappear. Then they have to pay. Michael Turpin $24 Million. So,
Travis Wright: you know, it's like maybe there's a something there.
S6: And I don't have any evidence about that. That's just all.
Travis Wright: Conjecture. CORN Gesture.
S6: Conjecture.
Joel Comm: Jack What rhymes with Jack?
S9: A raksha.
