Episode #68 Cryptocurrencies and Appcoins Doomed?

On today’s show I speak with Daniel Krawisz, one of the founders of the Nakamoto Institute. Daniel and I discuss the merits and the pitfalls of Cryptocurrencies, Altcoins and Appcoins. What’s an appcoin? Well I guess you’ll just have to listen to the episode to find out now won’t you? We also discuss Bitcoin’s cypherpunk and crypto anarchism Roots. Halfway through the interview we get to hear my new single, Crypto (The Official Cryptocurrency Song) with vocals by our very own Rasta Mon Jon and instrumentals by Jamie Sparks. This is a short but sweet 3 minute concert that you will NOT want to miss! Great news listeners! Our transcription page is now live on the website thanks to the continuing hard work of one of our loyal listeners who is also a consultant to the show. We are striving to roll out each new transcript within a short period of time following the release of each podcast. We are also working on eventually going back and transcribing MOST of the archived episodes, starting with Episode #51 and working our way back until we completed the very first episode, Episode #1, Numero Uno of Bitcoins and Gravy!
