We had quite an in depth conversation on the effects of art and how mentally and emotionally beneficial it can be, especially when you find yourself in a family-like community. We talk about falling way too far down the NFT rabbit hole, sports and esports in the crypto / NFT world, and replacing your hands with tires. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

The third episode of the Crypto Campfire Midsummer Night's NFT Marathon finds us with SuperRare's own Zack Yanger (@SuperRareRoses). We dive deep into the world of music and audio/visual NFTs, replace an ankle with a guitar, and think back to the good ol' days.

Today we dive into a second round of the Crypto Campfire with our good friend Alotta Money. It's been over a year since we first had Money on the show. He was one of our earliest guests, and definitely a favorite to chat with! We dig into the old days before NFTs a little before we dive into the collectibles world, NFT carbon consumption, and protecting physical art versus private keys. On top of that we find ourselves down a few excellent rabbit holes like "the year of collabs", augmented humans, and even photographic eyelashes! Enjoy!

We had a great time on this episode chatting with Alex Kinney. Alex brings us LOADS of information on everything from gaming in the crypto space to the tech behind cryptocurrencies to binge eating fish in Japan!

Shitcoin, privacy coins, payment processing et al. Though, we also found ourselves contemplating @ICOffender's legitimacy as Satoshi Nakamoto, play some go fish, eat some weed salad, and reminisce about being chased by wild animals. Enjoy!

Today we sat down with Scott Sibley, inventory of the SHAmory blockchain card game. We get into some of the problems with helping people find good educational tools in the crypto space, whether cryptocurrencies should be treated as currencies or speculative assets, and even what it would be like to have only forks as fingers. We hope you enjoy this one!

We come back from our long break with a long anticipated episode with the one and only FEWOCiOUS! This young artist is absolutely tearing up the NFT space and making waves left and right. We touch on his introduction to art, following your passions, aspiring to display art in a Vegas casino, and even adding wheels to your knees! Enjoy!

Today brings the long-awaited episode with the man, the myth, and the legend: Paulie P. Amidst the chaos, we get in a conversation or two about adapting to technology, educating the masses, absorbing information, and even time traveling. And Litecoin, of course! P.S. "Rosemary is a scam". Enjoy!

Enjoy!

In this episode of the Crypto Campfire we hang out with the legends themselves, The CoinBros. This is an off-the-charts campfire session with lots of nonsense, a little bit of tomfoolery, and a whole helluva lot of horseshit. You might even find a knowledge bomb or two mixed in. We talk about recording the McAfee Effect music video with the McAfee's, creating a song for @kimdotcom, speed networking gone wrong, custom food-eating challenges, and many other things you didn't know you wanted to hear. Enjoy!

Today we sit down for our second round of the Crypto Campfire with Peter McCormack, host of What Bitcoin Did and DEFIANCE podcasts, for a somewhat NSFW, somewhat political, and somewhat nonsensical journey down the tech and politics rabbit hole. We discuss the problems with politicizing EVERYTHING, up to and including your identity, and why it makes the simplest of things astronomically difficult. This leads to a deeper discussion on the concept of politicizing your identity (let that one sink in a bit). And somehow we decide that Oprah will take over the moon, dream a bit about Aston Martins and Ferraris, and ponder the lifestyle of migratory birds. Hope you enjoy this one!

Today we chat with Jason Yanowitz, co-found of BlockWorks Group. We really fall down the rabbit hole this episode and talk about inflation hedged assets, the autonomous gig economy, and bringing new people into the crypto space.

You'll want to hang on to your seat for this one! This is an explosive disaster of laughter, pure insanity, and a little bit of useful information sprinkled about. We touch on critical use cases of blockchain like NFTs and digital art, privacy and data protection, and even a little bit of DeFi action. Not to mention floating meme orbs, replacing body parts with fake hammers, bitcoin cities, pokemon cards, and even toast! 

Enjoy!

Today we spark up a special campfire with Potcoin's Community Lead Josh in the City. We get a run down on what Potcoin brings to the space and what's coming in their next evolution, Ethereum 2.0, and critical use cases for blockchain in the cannabis space. We also get a hilarious inside look at how Potcoin sent Dennis Rodman to North Korea, 4-inch raptors and land pirahnas, and don't talk about wedding cakes. Enjoy! 

Our good friend Eli joins us for some good old-fashioned insanity with a healthy dose of positivity and deep discussion. We chat about the many applications for blockchain in the logistics and supply chain industries, government tracking and how it does and will affect us, and the persistence of racism in modern society. We also come to the conclusion that we're all children and that we should bring back a T-Rex and teach it to trade Bitcoin. What do you think? Enjoy!

Brad Michelson, US Senior Marketing Manager at eToro, is our guest on the Campfire today. He talks with us about eToro and some of their trading tools, social trading and the concept of copy trading, and why there needs to be a bigger focus on customer service in the crypto industry. We also get into the importance of easy to use UI/UX, tokenizing ownership, the possibility of a "bitcoin supercycle", and missile-peddling neighbors. Enjoy!

Today we talk with Crypto Adam (@CryptoAdam4 on Twitter) about almost everything under the sun. We navigate our way through crypto credit cards and payment processors accepting cryptocurrencies, the world of digital art and NFTs, the transition to remote employment for many, and whether or not our heavily strained supply chains can survive 2020. And then of course we had to talk about his training for American Ninja Warrior, how our possessions will work for us in the future, and even Adam's quest for decentralized autonomous lawn mowers which ended with Ramona the belligerent sheep. 

Enjoy!

This 4th of July brings us a second helping of Campfire action with Coygo CEO Evan Francis. To kick things off, we take a deep look at some of the trading tools offered by Coygo.

Plus we get to think about delicious peanut butter pizza and hear the story of Big Pink, the shimmering Oldsmobile from which Evan serenaded the world. Enjoy!

Our friend Chris Thompson takes a seat around the Campfire to get down to the nitty gritty on the struggle for legitimate information, the importance of verifying sources, being your own bank, and the shift toward remote employment. Chris works in supply chain and offers some great insight on certain related challenges that could possibly be solved with blockchain tech. We share stories of crypto crashes, getting friends and family into the crypto space, touring pretzel factories, and even....cowboy penguins?  Enjoy!

Kick back and relax while Michelle Chuang, COO of Asensys, blows your mind with some deep discussion on next-generation consensus mechanisms, the symbiotic nature of AI and blockchain, and deeper integration of technology in learning. We touch on how to drive adoption of cryptocurrencies and other blockchain tech, the devaluation of fiat / government adoption of crypto, disruptive strategies, and why you should never stop learning! And for the icing on the cake we get to talk about giant pencils and design a miniature golf hole on the spot. Enjoy!

Mike Satoshi, host of the High Heels of Bitcoin show, kicks back by the Campfire to tell us some great stories and talk about the crypto wallet security, Bitcoin as a deflationary currency, and long term effects of COVID-19 on the crypto space. Plus we get to hear about some of his scuba diving adventures, and dreams of playing basketball with Michael Jordan! Enjoy!

Today we bring you a very special episode that we recorded with our friend known only as "Otto" @cypherdiaries2. He joins us from the front lines of the 2028 Money Wars in hopes of spreading knowledge and recruiting warriors to save the world from the coming economic collapse and the subsequent fallout. Otto stresses the importance of resisting the temptation of digital comfort to maintain privacy and security in a surveillance state and warns that the coronavirus outbreak serves as a catalyst for unprecedented change over the next 8 years. We touch on evolutions of virtual reality, how Fortnite has become the leading centralized virtual-world-based social networking platform, the future of global warming concerns, and even the butterfly effect. 

Today we welcomed Shitcoin Sherpa back to the campfire for some good, old fashioned off-the-rails conversation. Sherpa was the 5th guest ever to join us for a campfire when he told us all his dirt little secrets in Episode 6! How could we not bring him back on for #106!? In this episode we talked about trusted sources and verifying information, the power of global collaboration and COVID-19 as a catalyst, and why you should always be prepared. But, we quickly find ourselves down the old-school-tech rabbit hole, talking rabbit ears, coat hanger engineering, tin foil, 56k modems, and even....Matlock???     Yea, we don't know why either. 

Hope you enjoy!

Today we welcome Samantha Radocchia to the Campfire. Sam is the author of Bitcoin Pizza, "The No-Bullshit Guide to Blockchain" and classifies herself unequivocally as a builder within the blockchain space. We talk about embracing a fully decentralized world and what that would entail, potential benefits and implications of a government-controlled "digital dollar", and coding and other critical life skills for the future. Sam is also an ex-pro skydiver so we touch on her intro to skydiving at the age of 18, some scary experiences, and other exciting events she's partaken in. Also, Batman. LOL. Enjoy!

Didi Taihuttu, father of your favorite Bitcoin Family, sits down for his turn around the Campfire! We talk about the crypto lifestyle, traveling the world, planting seed cards, and decentralizing everything! Didi brings a lot of energy to the conversation and gives us his thoughts on Bitcoin maximalism, the importance of blockchain education and DYOR, and why we must all work together toward a common goal if we are to succeed. Enjoy!

Rice Crypto kicks back around the Campfire for episode #102! We dig deep into censorship vs. controlling chaos, discuss the many potential applications of NFTs, and even dive into crypto's part in the music industry. And somehow we ended up talking about airdropping joints, playing magic the gathering, dying our hair pink, and touring with Vanilla Ice for a week. This one should be a fun listen, hope you all enjoy!
