ioRadio - The Technology and Ethics Podcast

Today with talk with Lou, a French Canadian and independent crypto investigator who has been taking an interest in the odd dynamics between various entities in the crypto markets. He has formulated what he considers to be a possible explanation for how various crypto exchanges and others are engaged in market manipulation. Note that this is one person’s opinion and only a theory, but he has a reasonable amount of citations involving all the players involved. What do YOU think?

On today's show, we're going through a presentation made at the "Bitcoin For America" conference a few weeks ago, entitled: "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: A Strategy For US Digital Supremacy" What does that actually mean? Will Michael Saylor actually provide any specific details on how this will work, or will be shower everybody with his unique brand of abstract, AI-inspired techno-babble? Tune in and see, plus my own commentary adding some real world clarity to whatever it is he's claiming. Also, we add a new feature called, the Fallacy Tracker, where I put on-screen almost every Begging-the-Question fallacy he unloads during this presentation. As an added BONUS, I fact-check anything he states which is specific enough to actually fact-check, and we find at least one claim which we fact check. Stay tuned near the end for that exciting revelation.

Today we hear from a crypto developer and marketer who was deep in the trenches for several years and finally decided he wanted out. We'll call him 'Labcrazy2600' and he shares with us his story. At this time, he still wishes to remain anonymous and is careful to not go into too many details whereby he could be recognized. This appears to be a common theme with those leaving the crypto industry: they're afraid of the repercussions of 'naming names' at this stage in the game. That gives you some insight into how seedy the industry really is -- as if you needed more, listen to what LabCrazy has to say...

Today on the show I have a conversation with crypto mining activist Jackie Sawicky. After the recent election, she's decided to dissolve the Texas Coalition Against Crypto Mining and move out of state.

If there's one thing crypto bros love to do, is talk endlessly about how awesome their tech and tokens are, about how messed up the real world is and how crypto magically fixes everything. But there are plenty of things they will not admit and do not want to talk about. If you want to see how fast they'll change the subject, bring up one of these topics..

In this episode, I discuss one of the more popular crypto talking points: Is Bitcoin "digital gold?" Is it really a reliable long term store of value? Is it actually an "investment?" What is the evidence that buying bitcoin makes economic sense? Is it really a hedge against inflation?

There is a dark secret in the crypto world that mainstream media does not want to acknowledge. A dark secret that will affect each and every crypto holder at one point in time. No, it is not Tether or other Stablecoins although that is another ticking time bomb. I am talking about something that should strike fear into the hearts of even the most committed HODLer: Is your Crypto Clean or Dirty? Is there anything you can do to protect it? We are coming up on 16 years since the advent of blockchain technology. And somehow, some way, the price of Bitcoin is still holding at an unreasonably high amount DESPITE there being any indication that blockchain technology has anything truly useful to offer modern society. BUT there is one thing it has proven to be good for, and that one thing will infect everybody in the market, because you are all indirectly involved whether you like it or not.

For this episode we have a "who's who" of Crypto Critics who have assembled in Twitter Spaces, hosted by author Jake Donoghue, of "Crypto Confidential." Jake put together a team of prominent people to discuss the current state of the industry, including myself, former SEC cybercrime head, John Reed Stark, journalist David Gerard, tech entrepreneur Dave Troy, senior policy analyst Mark Hays and others. We have a casual conversation about what's going on in the industry and take some questions. I apologize for the beginning and ending being cut off - I started recording when I came in and somehow the recording stopped at around the 2 hour mark, but we have almost the entire conversation archived.

Does crypto do something positive for the renewable energy industry?

Today's guest, whom we'll refer to by his popular discord handle, "Homestead Hacker" thought he found his dream job, working in the exciting world of "web3". This was supposed to be the cutting edge of emerging technology, involving crypto, blockchain, gaming and more. Unfortunately our guest realized it didn't turn out the way he'd imagined. He takes us through his experience working for a web3 gaming company and his realization that the crypto industry isn't what he originally thought.

One of the most detailed and prolific sources of data on the shenanigans of people like Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, Kevin O'Leary and others can be found on a YouTube channel called, "The Common Sense Skeptic."

You've heard the stories about people who go "all in" on Bitcoin. These are the "pink unicorns" of investing. Does it make sense to put all your eggs in one crypto basket? Well, we talk to one guy who's done that, and try to explain why that might be a bad idea. It's been a few weeks and there's been some interest to check back in with our infamous crypto unicorn who has gone "all in" on Bitcoin and see if our last discussion had any impact on his outlook. I also dive a little deeper into how his crypto adoption has manifested and how much actual experience he's had testing the exchanges to see if he can get his "money" back? There are some very interesting and/or shocking revelations towards the end. Be sure to leave your comments and let us know what you think?
