It might have been a “boring” weekend, but the indicators for Bitcoin are pulling in opposite directions. On the one hand, some analysts believe BTC may test as low as $50,000 as the US Marshalls look set to sell the seized Silk Road Bitcoin. On the other hand, investment adviser holdings in spot Bitcoin ETFs are on the rise and are not slowing down, with some believing the latest dip is a “fake-out.” Meanwhile, a debate is underway over whether the world's largest sovereign wealth fund is increasingly exposing itself to Bitcoin on purpose or due to an algorithm, a man kidnapped two people in an effort to recover funds lost in the BitConnect Ponzi scheme, and should AI have access to crypto wallets?Further reading:A return to $50K? 5 Things to know in Bitcoin this weekAdviser holdings in Bitcoin ETFs rise, hedge fund stakes dip — CoinbaseUS Marshals likely selling Silk Road Bitcoin, says lawyerWorld's largest sovereign wealth fund Bitcoin exposure not ‘intentional'Man allegedly tries to ‘recover' losses from BitConnect, kidnapping twoCoinbase CEO Brian Armstrong: AI ‘should have crypto wallets'So, grab yourself a coffee, and let's get into it!Rise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

What is cryptocurrency? Most are baffled on this topic. But I feel my generation certainly needs to understand this new-age currency and what it means for our investing future. So, join us in this interview with a cryptocurrency expert to break it down in a two-part episode series. The Cash Kid Podcast is underway! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Transcript SPEAKERS Grant Newall, The Cash Kid Welcome back to episode 8 season 2 of the Cash Kid Podcast. Whether you're listening from Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the Cash Kid Podcast website, or wherever you like to listen from, we’re glad you are here! Our focus this season continues to be on building super financial literacy skills, and today, we have a special guest who is going to break down a term that… well…I’ve found most people don’t want to discuss because they don’t really know or understand much about it. It’s known as cryptocurrency. Listen up and learn more in today’s episode. The Cash Kid Podcast is underway! Intro tease: So you’ve got some cash. Maybe from an allowance, or that money your grandma gave you for your 7th birthday. Here you go, sweetie. Thanks, Grandma. Whatever it is, what are you going to do with it? Spend it, hide it away… or maybe invest it? Let’s start learning how to make that money grow. Time to learn how to be a cash kid. Joining us today is Mr. Grant Newell who is an entrepreneur and a financial professional. He is the co founder and CEO of Abundant X Inc, Amana X royalties and Abundant X Investments, LLC. First off, we'd like to welcome him to the show. Grant Newall Thank you for having me. I want to, first of all, commend you for your tremendous success and for having this podcast for even teaching kids and helping kids understand the nuances and things of finance because it's definitely needed in this world. The Cash Kid Yeah, definitely. I agree. So, um, first off, how about you tell us a little bit about yourself? Grant Newall Yeah, so I started with finance very young like yourself. I started by bartering at garage sales. And it grew from there. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and build businesses. And it started from a young age, I was mowing lawns, and doing construction work for my neighbor's, gosh, probably since the age of like, 10 years old. And so I learned how to advertise. I learned how to work hard. And most of all, I learned how to manage finance. Then from there, I went and played college football at Oklahoma State. And once my football career was over, I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. And so I found myself being a lifeguard at the local pool. And I had tore my shoulder playing football. And when I got done, I had to have it repaired. And in doing so, I couldn't be a lifeguard, I couldn't really save people's lives while I had a, an arm in a sling. So that led me to a company called the Joseph group. And the owner of it was a Harvard MBA, he graduated with honors and was incredible with finances, and he took me under his wings, and taught me the nuances in the finance business. And so from there, it's grown into today having a tax and accounting firm, along with an investment firm that we do trading and investments with. The Cash Kid So um, let's jump right into it. What is the basic definition of cryptocurrency? Grant Newall So cryptocurrency is basically decentralized finance. And what that means is it is finance that's not controlled by one person. And really, the easiest way to understand it is when you look at $1, the $1 Bill $5 Bill, whatever. And you're holding that in your hand. T hat currency there is controlled by the US government and the central bank. With cryptocurrency, there is nobody that rules over the cryptocurrency. It's all in the blockchain. And so it creates a path for people to have finances that aren't regulated that aren't controlled by one single government or authority. The Cash Kid So why did this need arise for cryptocurrency? Grant Newall Well, a lot of it arose when you know, you go to these other countries and for us, we have US dollars. And some of these countries, they wouldn't accept the US dollar , because when they take in that dollar, they then have to go to their bank, and they have to give it to their bank, their bank has to convert it into their currency that they have in their country. And then they can use it. So there's this long process. And so the need arose for there to be a currency that would go across the world, no matter where you're at, no matter where you live, one Bitcoin or one ethereum is worth that. You don't have to convert it into anything else. The Cash Kid So what do you think confuses people most about when understanding the value or even the idea of cryptocurrency? Grant Newall I think probably the confusion comes to not knowing what it exactly is and really how to use it. And that's part of the the hardest part about it is that it's done all online. There's no you can't go buy or you can't go get a physical Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, you can't get them physically. So I think for a lot of people, it's difficult to understand because they can't actually touch it and actually feel it in their hands. The Cash Kid So how do people purchase cryptocurrency or buy a Bitcoin or something like that? Grant Newall Yeah, so really, the main ways to do it are through certain apps. The main ones would be coin base, crypto.com is another one. Binance.com is another one. There's a couple of mainstream ones, but there's lots of different ways that you can buy them. And they're usually through apps. And what you would do is you would download that app, you'd create a profile, you have to enter in you know, your social security, your name, birthdate, all of that sort of stuff, they run a couple of checks on you verify your personal info, and then you're able to deposit money into that account. So you deposit your own money into there, and then you're able to buy bitcoins or ethereum or any other cryptocurrency that you choose. The Cash Kid Are there different types of cryptocurrencies? Grant Newall Yes, so that's the another thing about cryptocurrency is basically, anybody can create their own cryptocurrency if they wanted to. Now how much value goes on that cryptocurrency is up to the market. And there are, I would say, two main ones that most people would know and are invested in, and that is Bitcoin and ethereum. The Cash Kid I think a lot of us have probably heard of Bitcoin and ethereum. So is it safe to invest in cryptocurrency? Grant Newall So that's a, that's a good question. It's, I wouldn't necessarily say any sort of investing is safe. But with cryptocurrency, one thing that people have to be careful of is that it is an industry that is unregulated. And what unregulated means is that the government doesn't come in and say, “Hey, we want to make sure that there's no scammers. There's no people getting hurt with this, there's no there's no ill intentions with these currencies.” And so you have to be careful because the government can come in and shut certain things down. I was a victim of this early on in my investing career, I had invested in something called Bitconnect, which is a form of lending for cryptocurrency. And the government came in and shut it down. And so all of my money was gone. Now, do I think that's going to happen with Bitcoin and ethereum? No. But there's still the unknown of what different governments our government are going to do when it comes to cryptocurrencies. So there is some unknown, and you can make a lot of money and lose a lot of money with unknowns. So I wouldn't necessarily say it's safe. But if you're worried about losing all of your money, Bitcoin and ethereum is what I would stick to. Thanks Grant. We’re going to stop our discussion there for today. But join us next week for part 2 of our discussion on cryptocurrency with Grant where we talk about the future of cryptocurrency and why you should consider it an investment option.

Daniel is a serial entrepreneur most recently known for his pioneering efforts with a company called Unbanked. Sadly, Unbanked has had to wind down operations due to the regulatory challenges that the US faces. Daniel joins Tyler and John to discuss the lessons learned along the way, and what we can do to change the narrative on crypto from a speculative asset class to a cohesive financial system solving real-world problems. Topics covered: - How can US citizens get safe and secure access to the digital asset ecosystem in this regulatory environment? - What are the real-world use cases that crypto enables beyond just "number go up"? - What's the optimistic future for digital assets? - What did Daniel learn from his early days in crypto (2017)? - Why should people care about crypto in the first place? - What to do about the ponzi schemes and scam artists in the crypto industry (spoiler: they need to be absolutely crushed) - The origin of banking and lending - Tether, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and much much more!

We're currently watching one of the the largest events in Crypto history.  The sketchy outlook in the markets has triggered a run on the UST stablecoin, which began destabilizing in the last several weeks. As time progressed, the peg worsened, and it eventually rolled over into a complete crash of both the value of UST, and the native asset LUNA. What led to the crash? Was it a coordinated attack, or an inevitable collapse? What Red Flags were there ahead of time? What's the fallout from all of this? What lessons can we learn?  ------

Club promoters are usually a little skeezy, but wait until you hear about those for BitConnect. In part II of our BitConnect series, we're talking about the few at the top of the scheme who made out big by lying a bunch. 

 BitConnect was at one point the 13th largest cryptocurrency in the world. The elusive founders boasted a "trading bot" that promised  40% interest per month with "no risk." They even claimed to make money off of the volatility of BitCoin. If that sounds impossible, it's because it was. 

The craziest crypto scams and hacks: Part 4: How Bitconnect's ponzi scheme turned out to be a $4.5 billion dollar scam Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day on crypto and its history. In plain english. Today's episode is another cautionary tale: When things sound too good to be true, and scammers hope you don't fully understand how a system works, bad things will happen. Bitconnect itself was a cryptocurrency released in 2016. Remember, this was when crypto had its first bull run, and everyone wanted to get in on it. That context is important to understand Bitconnect. You could buy it for Bitcoin and were promised a daily interest of around 1% from a secret algorithmic trading bot, 50x more than the stock market. On Bitconnects exchange, you could then swap between Bitcoin and Bitconnect. But the bot wasn't actually doing anything, it was made up. And that meant that the system only worked as long as more people bought into it than cashed out. It's called a Ponzi Scheme - that means those buying in pay for those exiting the system. When government agencies took note in 2018, Bitconnect shut down and the token plummeted in value by over 90% in a single day. Investors lost over $4bn dollars. This story is a great reminder, because crypto is not easy to understand. People want to invest, because they see others make money, but ignore that they don't know why. Especially crypto, which is complicated with few resources that make it easier to understand, is susceptible to those frauds. But we hope that this podcast is changing that for you, and bit by bit, you learn the building blocks to make up your own mind.

The Nano community has challenged skeptics in a recent twitter exchange (see backstory). The result? A passionate exchange between two minds and a deep dive into $Nano and what it takes to become the ultimate digital cash. Patrick Luberus is an IT professional by day and holds a masters degree in informational security. Since 2013, he has been thinking deeply about the search for an ideal digital money for the modern world. Although his initial fascination was mostly around Bitcoin, he would later observe the challenges and technical trade-offs that would compel him to investigate a crypto that promised it all- instant, scalable and free. Enter $Nano. Patrick would then become a much more active member of the Nano community, publishing helpful videos on his YouTube channel covering topics like Byzantine Fault Tolerance, technical challenges and even his second video, where he warns people (in November of 2017) to avoid Bitconnect (the now well understood failed Ponzi Scheme). This conversation is deep and it covers a lot of aspects. I highly recommend listening to the end, as the trajectory goes to interesting places, but the conclusion is open to interpretation. Patrick has agreed to come back in the future to discuss these ideas further. Check out those videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/PatrickLuberus Find him on twitter here: @patrickluberus Backstory It started with a podcast episode with a Director of the Nano Foundation. https://twitter.com/rarlop/status/1420675475530297348 Which inspired a challenge to the skeptics to have a listen. https://twitter.com/rarlop/status/1420713299155595268 Well, challenge accepted! https://twitter.com/milner_aviv/status/1420716770483007491 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A huge thank you to my audio editor and official podcast producer Gordon!

This week's episode is dedicated to the crypto influencers. For the first half I give a crash course on the history and some of the more well known influencers and for the second half I have an interview with Tom Gillespie (@TomPeterGill), former currency trader on the Perth stock exchange turned TV investigator and filmmaker for the upcoming documentary "The Fakefluencer" coming out in April 2021. The movie investigates a crypto influencer by the name of BitMan360 and creator of the ScooterCoin cryptocurrency which rewards people for doing scooter tricks. Sound ridiculous and unbelievable? Well than I highly recommend getting in on the conspiracy. During the interview I give a Marxist take on Bitconnect and one of the brief crypto influencers of the project during the two years it existed, Carlos Matos (yes, the BIITTCONNNNEEEEEEEEEECTT guy), I mention some of the currently existing crypto influencers out there and the classes they fit in, and I talk to Tom about his new documentary, "The Fakefluencer," and question whether this is something unique to crypto, but instead a symptom of capitalism.More about the Fakefluencer movieFree ticket: https://www.thefakefluencer.com/freeticket Website: https://www.thefakefluencer.com/ Discord: https://discord.gg/xPuXV3Bitjoin Studios: https://www.bitjoinstudios.com/ Follow the crew on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thefakefluencerfilm/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefakefluencerfilm/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thefakefluencerIf you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.
