The Bad Crypto Podcast

What if your AI assistant could negotiate your next car purchase, trade prediction markets, manage your inbox, and research crypto… while you sleep? This week we break down the insane rise of ClaudeBot → Moltbot → OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent that rocketed past 200,000 GitHub stars and sparked a massive wave of autonomous agents almost overnight. But of course, crypto had to crypto. Along the way, the project triggered a triple rebrand, a $16M scam token spun up by opportunists, and a security mess that unfolded in real time as attackers hunted for poorly-secured instances and exposed keys. We also get into the bigger picture: as AI agents start doing real work for people (and eventually paying bills, trading, and moving value), crypto becomes the natural payment rail. Permissionless. Programmable. Always on. Which is exciting… and also a whole new playground for scammers. We cover what happened, why it matters, and what you should do if you’re experimenting with agents: lock it down, separate machines/accounts, protect your keys, and don’t chase random tokens.

Two years ago, quantum computing was a “someday problem.” Now NVIDIA is lobbying Congress. Ethereum is funding post-quantum research. Coinbase has launched a Quantum Advisory Board. So the question isn’t theoretical anymore. What happens to Bitcoin when quantum computers become powerful enough to crack today’s cryptography? In Episode 803, we sit down with Christopher Steven Smith, CEO and co-founder of Quantus, a quantum-secure Layer 1 blockchain built using NIST-backed post-quantum cryptography. We cover: • What quantum computing actually is (without melting your brain) • How qubits differ from classical bits • Why elliptic curve cryptography may be vulnerable • Whether Bitcoin can realistically fork to quantum resistance • The risk to old wallets (including Satoshi’s coins) • Post-quantum signatures like Dilithium • Reversible transactions and whether they break crypto ethos • Whether the “digital gold” narrative was a strategic mistake Is quantum an overhyped sci-fi scare tactic? Or is it the next existential threat nobody is pricing in? This is a sponsored episode. As always, we disclose that upfront. We took the interview because the topic is real, timely, and worth exploring. Welcome to the future of cryptography. Or the end of it.

Everything is fine… weeks where everyone is definitely not fine. In Episode 802, we dig into the crypto panic, the blood-in-the-streets charts, and the uncomfortable question nobody wants to say out loud: Did the grown-ups finally show up to crypto… and ruin the party? We talk institutional adoption (ETFs, custody, control), how the “gatekeepers and suits” might be working the same old playbook, and why crypto feels weirdly toxic right now. Then we take a hard left into a truly bizarre rabbit hole: new Jeffrey Epstein-related emails, claims floating around about funding Bitcoin Core, and what the Brock Pierce connection might mean (or might not mean). We don’t pretend to have final answers—just the receipts we can point to, the debates happening publicly, and a healthy dose of skepticism. And because we can’t help ourselves, we also go off-road into AI, Elon, robots, peptides, and… yes… “you spit in a thing, you 💩 in a thing.” You’re welcome. Educationally unsettling. Extra sarcasm. Always weird. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:16 Panic in the markets + “did institutions ruin crypto?” 02:53 Market snapshot: blood in the streets 06:03 Institutional adoption vs. decentralization 07:53 Epstein files + what people are claiming 09:57 Travis explains the “mastermind” AI experiment 16:33 Brock Pierce emails + what’s known vs. speculation 20:36 AI as leverage: finishing 25 days of work in 6.5 hours 21:53 Elon, xAI/SpaceX talk, and where this all goes 24:18 Robots, health tech, and the future getting weird fast 26:20 “Spit in a thing / 💩 in a thing” (yes, really) Links & ResourcesLINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: Epstein Files Drop!

Tax season is back, and crypto reporting is getting a lot more… specific. We’re joined by returning guest Clinton Donnelly of CryptoTaxAudit to break down the biggest crypto tax changes affecting U.S. traders this year—what forms are coming, what the IRS will see, and the most common ways people accidentally trigger problems. If you’ve traded on U.S.-based exchanges, this episode is your wake-up call. In this episode, we cover: Why crypto taxes are getting more complicated (and more visible) New 1099-DA reporting: what it is and what exchanges may report Why “proceeds vs. cost basis” matters (and where confusion hits) The Form 8949 change: crypto transactions being separated out The “match the proceeds” issue that can trigger nasty IRS letters New FIFO requirement by wallet/account (and why it can change your tax bill) Why audits can drag on for years (and what “audit-proofing” really means) Practical advice for staying compliant without losing your mind The 3 big crypto tax changes Clinton highlights: 1099-DA is here (for U.S.-based exchanges) Crypto gets its own lane on Form 8949 (more visibility for the IRS) FIFO by wallet/account becomes required (can reshape gains calculations) Helpful link: Work with Clinton / CryptoTaxAudit: http://badco.in/tax Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eight hundred episodes in, crypto doesn’t feel wild anymore — and that might be the biggest story of all. In this milestone episode, Joel and Travis kick off 2026 by unpacking a market that refuses to behave like it used to. Bitcoin isn’t mooning, but it isn’t collapsing either. Institutions are quietly vacuuming up supply, ETFs keep stacking, and the once-predictable four-year cycle looks stretched, warped, or possibly broken altogether. The conversation moves beyond charts into bigger territory: why Bitcoin drawdowns are getting shallower, why gold and silver are exploding alongside crypto, and what an increasingly unstable global economy means for hard assets. Along the way, the guys reflect on how manipulation hasn’t disappeared — it’s just become more sophisticated — and why retail panic matters less when corporations and funds are waiting on every dip. Episode 800 also zooms out to the future. AI’s acceleration, the coming wealth transfer, the growing divide between those who adapt and those who don’t, and why the next decade may reward understanding what’s possible more than chasing the next tool or token. No predictions. No moon math. Just perspective earned over nine years, hundreds of cycles, and a market that’s finally starting to act… different.

2025 was supposed to be the year for crypto. Instead, it delivered all-time highs… followed by one of the most confusing pullbacks we’ve seen in years. Bitcoin hit new records, then gave them back. Altcoins struggled. Expectations got wrecked. And everyone was left asking the same question: What the hell just happened? In Episode 799 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis close the books on 2025 and look ahead to what 2026 might bring — without pretending they have a crystal ball. They break down: Why 2025 felt bullish on paper but disappointing in reality The massive liquidation event that changed market momentum overnight Why the four-year cycle may already be broken How Bitcoin behaved more like a “stablecoin” than a risk asset this year Why nation-states, ETFs, and institutions are quietly reshaping the market What macro factors, liquidity, elections, and money printing could mean next Why zooming out still tells a very different story than staring at short-term charts The guys debate whether Bitcoin is gearing up for another major leg higher or settling into a new kind of market entirely — one driven less by retail euphoria and more by institutions, governments, and global liquidity. It’s part recap, part reality check, part cautious optimism… and a reminder that after nine years and nearly 800 episodes, Bad Crypto is still here, still asking the hard questions, and still bullish on the long game. As the calendar flips to 2026 and Episode 800 looms, this is your moment to reflect, recalibrate, and remember why you got into crypto in the first place. Out with the old. In with the new. And as always… Stay bad. Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years, crypto traders have lived and died by the halving clock. Boom. Bust. Rinse. Repeat. But what if that old rhythm doesn’t work anymore? In Episode 798 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis make the case that Bitcoin has officially graduated from “speculative science experiment” to institutional-grade asset class — and that changes everything. We break down why this cycle looks nothing like the last ones, including: • Why banks that mocked crypto are now quietly building custody, trading, and ETF pipelines • How public companies, governments, and ETFs are soaking up Bitcoin supply • Why institutional buying is far “stickier” than retail panic selling • How regulation shifts (OCC, FDIC, Fed guidance) removed the biggest barriers between banks and Bitcoin • Why the classic 80% crash may no longer be the default outcome • What January and February could reveal about whether the cycle is truly broken • Why Gen Z asking for crypto for Christmas might be the most bullish signal of all We also dig into adoption curves, Bitcoin treasuries, ETF inflows, government holdings, and the uncomfortable reality that the market may have changed the rules while many traders are still playing the old game. If you’re waiting for the “inevitable crash” so you can say “told you so”… you might want to listen first. Because Bitcoin doesn’t look like it’s leaving. It looks like it’s settling in. 🎧 Episode 798 — from Puerto Rico to Dubai 📺 Watch on YouTube 🎙️ Listen wherever podcasts live Stay bad.

Everyone in crypto has a horror story. In this episode, Joel and Travis turn the mic on themselves and the community for a raw, honest look at loss, regret, and the painful side of the crypto journey. Travis recounts how he lost 55 Bitcoin he mined back in 2010 after a hardware failure and no backup of his keys. Joel shares how he was seconds away from reading a 2FA code to a fake “Google security” caller that could have compromised everything tied to his account. Add in a 10 ETH honeypot scam, drained wallets, and NFT phishing, and you start to see a pattern: nobody is immune. Along the way, they read anonymous posts from the CoinFessions account on X – real stories of people who: – Turned life-changing gains into dust by trying to time “one more pump” – Lost six figures to scams and bad decisions – Sat through entire bull runs and never took profits – Finally got it right after years of pain and one big, smart exit This episode covers: – Why even experienced users still get wrecked – The psychology behind never taking profits on the way up – How grief, stress, and desperation make you vulnerable to scams – Why experiences and relationships matter more than your portfolio balance – A brief look ahead at what macro conditions and liquidity might mean for the next phase of the market If you have ever: – Round-tripped your portfolio – Lost coins to a scam, bad link, or bad judgment – Felt alone or ashamed about your mistakes …this is group therapy. You are not the only one. The Bad Crypto Podcast has been here since 2017, and the guys are still in the arena with you. Pull up a chair, listen in, and maybe walk away feeling a little less wrecked and a little more human.

Bitcoin is stuck. The market feels heavy. Sentiment is terrible. And yet, none of the traditional bull-market top signals have fired. Not a single one. In Episode 796, Joel and Travis dig into one of the strangest phases Bitcoin has ever entered. A trillion dollars has fallen off the crypto market cap since early October, ETF flows have flipped negative, liquidity is thinning out, and institutions are repositioning. But at the same time, the larger macro picture, historical drawdowns, and long-term adoption trends point to something very different. Is this the end of the bull run? Or is this exactly what a mid-cycle flush looks like—painful, confusing, and full of mixed signals? In this episode we cover: • Why liquidity is disappearing and how it affects every chart • ETF outflows, BlackRock’s massive selling week, and what it really means • Why none of the historical bull-run peak indicators have triggered • How macro forces, Japan’s rate shifts, and global pressure ripple into crypto • What Apple, Nvidia, and on-device AI reveal about where the tech cycle is headed • Why Bitcoin repeat patterns matter—and why they don’t • The psychological trap of watching the market every day This is a grounded, straight-talk conversation about the state of the market — the kind of conversation Joel and Travis used to have before the podcast even existed. Crypto goes up. Crypto goes down. The chart keeps moving. And your favorite blockheads are still here, from Dubai to Puerto Rico.

Two AIs enter. One narrative leaves. In this episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis hand the debate over to their AI companions — Merlin, the bullish wizard who sees magic in the markets, and Vinny, the cynical crypto hustler who thinks the cycle is cooked. The question: Is the bull market over, or just getting started? No news. No guests. Just a raw, fast-paced AI cage match over Bitcoin’s future — where data meets sarcasm, metaphors clash with market logic, and hope fights head-on with skepticism. Also in this episode: How rate cuts, ETFs, and institutions are shaping Bitcoin’s next move Why some traders say the four-year cycle is broken Whether manipulation, liquidity, or pure belief drives the charts What it means for anyone holding through 100K and beyond It’s the most entertaining market debate you’ll hear — because this time, the AIs are doing the arguing.

In episode 794 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, the Republic of Bad Cryptopia is going through major life upgrades. Travis has officially moved to Dubai to become Chief Innovation & Web3 Marketing Officer at MultiBank.io, leading their $MBG token, RWA plays, and a wild new partnership with UFC legend Khabib that involves tokenized gyms. Meanwhile, Joel’s getting married in Breckenridge, rebooting his personal YouTube channel, dropping weekly AI for Everyone episodes, and shaping a new book built from decades of entrepreneurial stories. Then we zoom out and ask the big question: where are we really in this market? Bitcoin has dipped back near the $100K line, alts are bleeding, and total crypto market cap has shed nearly a trillion dollars from the peak. Joel argues the classic 4-year cycle is breaking as nation-states, institutions, and a pro-crypto president pile in… while Travis reminds us that crypto has a nasty habit of wrecking your best assumptions (and your dream Mustang) right when you think you’ve figured it out. Volatility, bull-market “top” indicators, and long-term conviction all collide in one brutally honest convo. This episode is a reset: two blockheads, two dudes talking crypto, life, AI, politics, poop, and everything in between — the way the show started, before “no banter” media people tried to tame it.

The biggest crypto liquidation in history just rocked the markets as President Trump drops a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports, sparking a global sell-off that hit crypto first and hardest. But even as traders panic, Bitcoin is surging ahead of the Fed meeting, teasing a new all-time high. We’re breaking down the chaos — from $431 million in token unlocks to the mysterious rise of Hyperliquid, the DeFi exchange everyone’s suddenly obsessed with. Plus, Goldman Sachs says gold’s still got game… and why some insiders are declaring “Bitcoin is not crypto.” Markets are melting, narratives are flipping, and the storm is just getting started.

Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin play might crash the gates of the S&P 500 as early as Friday, Dogecoin moons on a $6M ETF launch, and Argentina’s peso freefall has Bitcoiners saying “told you so.” The U.S. Treasury is tinkering with stablecoin rules, lawmakers want crypto in your 401(k), and Tether swears it’s not bailing on Uruguay. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz drops a bill for an AI sandbox, and Google admits it’s been censoring political content on YouTube. We know all about being censored, huh YouTube? But we’re not very bitter.

In the beginning, there were Cryptokitties. Well, maybe it wasn’t THE beginning, but it was the beginning of NFTs. In 2020, there were Blockchain Heroes. And meanwhile on Ethereum, some Punks and Apes took over the world, with some NFTs commanding 7-figure prices. The world was rife with birds, mutants, doodles and all varieties of digital art. Then, the crash happened. And it happened bigly. The promise of digital ownership had been betrayed and the value of everyone’s pixels came tumbling down. Ouch. But here we are in 2025, and something is stirring in the NFT world. Today we’ll examine the past, present and future of the NFT world.
