Switchborn - Episode 003 - Cryptocoins 101

Marcus pulls no punches in a no-holds-barred deconstruction of blockchain and cryptocurrency hype, exposing how a supposedly decentralized, democratized system is still ruled by centralization, inequality, and crime. From blockchain’s origins and the illusion of decentralization to crypto’s entanglement with ransomware, fraud, scams, and state-sponsored cyberattacks, this episode lays bare the crypto ecosystem’s dark underbelly. Provocative, skeptical, and eye-opening, it’s a reality check for tech enthusiasts ready to go beyond surface-level tech narratives. # Credits Dark Dramatic Atmospheric Soundscape.mp3 by SoundFlakes @freesound.org Low Sci-fi Bladerunner by smokinghotdog @freesound.org DYSTOPIC_menu_ambience_F_phrygdom_133_bpm by harrisonlace @freesound.org Deep 01 loading, looping by cabled_mess @freesound.org
