Guest: Karl Jackson Welcome back to another Undeniable episode of the Undeniable Level Up Podcast.  With you host, Jose Medina and Crystal Garcia.  And today we are here to talk about Demystifying Digital Dough.  What is this thing called Crypto.  Wow, that rhymed didn't it!   For some of our listeners who follow our professional development and self improvement discussions, you may be asking how discussion of Cryptocurrency is a relevant topic for us to discuss and to those listeners. I would say, financial health is one of the 8 wellness categories.  And with everything that's going on with the dollar and Russia's and China's plan to move away from the Dollar Dollar Dollar Bill Yall, I think there is no better time to discuss Crypto than now. Now, I have some friends and associates who purport to understand Crypto and I'll be honest, I have a Crypto wallet with a little bit of Cryptocurrency, but I'd be lying if I told you that I totally understand everything about crypto.  I know how to invest in it, but I have no idea how to spend it. If you're like me, then you have a lot of questions too.   And here to help us demystify this Mystifying mullah is none other than Crypto Expert Karl Jackson.  Hi Karl, and thank you for joining us on today's show to discuss the ins and out of Cryptocurrency. Jose and I met Karl about 1.5 years ago when he was working as a Tax Attorney.  This guy is a Tax Wizard of the highest order, a financial genius and business structure master.  And now a Cryptocurrency Colossus!   Marc Kenigberg, the Founder fo BitcoinChaser says "Blockchain is the tech. Bitcoin is merely the first mainstream manifestation of its potential." Q: Do you agree with Marc?  Are we still at the beginning of what Crypto will be?  Where do you see Crypto in the next 5 years? This quote highlights the importance of understanding that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are just the beginning of what blockchain technology can achieve. The potential applications of blockchain technology go far beyond digital currencies and could have a transformative effect on various industries.  Q:  How do you think the underlying blockchain technology will continue to evolve, and what impact will this have on the cryptocurrency landscape? Q:  Can you discuss the potential for decentralized finance (DeFi) to disrupt traditional banking and financial systems? What are the key advantages and challenges of DeFi? Q: What role do you see cryptocurrencies playing in the global economy, particularly in developing countries where access to traditional banking infrastructure might be limited? Satoshi Makamoto, the mysterious and pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin stated that, "The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust."  This quote from the inventor of Bitcoin emphasizes the fundamental issue that cryptocurrencies aim to address – the trust required for traditional financial systems to function. By leveraging blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies aim to provide a more secure, transparent, and decentralized alternative to conventional currencies. Q: How do you think regulators and governments will respond to the growing influence of cryptocurrencies, and what effect will this have on the industry's future? Q: Security has always been a concern in the crypto space, with numerous high-profile hacks and breaches. How can individuals and businesses best protect their digital assets? Q: What are your thoughts on the increasing popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and their potential impact on various industries, including art, gaming, and intellectual property? Adam Draper, founder of Boost VC. Said, "The blockchain does one thing: It replaces third-party trust with a mathematical proof that something happened." Adam Draper's quote succinctly captures the essence of what blockchain technology offers – a decentralized, trustless system that relies on mathematical proofs and cryptography to ensure security and transparency. This shift from relying on third parties to mathematical proofs has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of our lives, from finance to supply chain management.  Q: Scalability has been a long-standing challenge for many cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin and Ethereum. How do you envision this issue being addressed in the future? Q: How do you see the relationship between centralized and decentralized exchanges evolving, and what does this mean for the accessibility and security of digital assets? Q: In your opinion, what are the most promising use cases for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology beyond finance and investment? CTAIf you've been thinking about investing in Crypto, but the mysticism and newness of the digitally currency has kept you hesitant, then today's topic should have given you some much needed insight and education and a strong starting point.  This is call to action is for those of you have interest, but just don't really know where to begin your journey and experience with Crypto.  We are going to ask you to become a participant in Crypto Twitter.  To do that, all you need Is a Twitter Account.  If you don't have one, it is easy to sign up at Twitter.com.  Use the search bar at the top of the Twitter interface to search for relevant hashtags like #cryptocurrency, #bitcoin, #ethereum, #blockchain, #DeFi, or other specific terms related to the crypto world.  Browse through the search results and follow accounts that regularly post about cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and related topics.  We will put some of the more popular accounts in the show notes to help you get started.  @VitalikButerin (Ethereum co-founder) @SatoshiLite (Litecoin creator Charlie Lee) @aantonop (Andreas Antonopoulos, a well-known crypto educator and author) @cz_binance (Changpeng Zhao, Binance CEO) Some additional keywords that are useful to look up when getting started and all of which are discussed in this podcast include: Cryptocurrency Bitcoin Ethereum Blockchain DeFi (Decentralized Finance) Crypto Wallet Altcoin Satoshi Nakamoto Smart Contracts Cryptocurrency Mining Proof of Work Proof of Stake NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) ICO (Initial Coin Offering) Token vs Coin Digital Asset Cryptocurrency Exchange DEX (Decentralized Exchange) Crypto Trading Crypto Investment Cryptocurrency Market Cap Stablecoin Crypto Regulations Cryptography Crypto Security Crypto Taxes DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) Yield Farming Cryptocurrency Futures Cryptocurrency Risings and Falls Privacy Coins Layer-2 Solutions Crypto Bubbles Bitcoin Halving Blockchain Technology Staking Cryptocurrency Decentralized Apps (DApps) Cryptocurrency Scams Crypto Adoption Crypto Volatility Here you will be able to engage with the content by liking, retweeting, and replying to tweets.

Last week cryptocurrency enthusiasts were warned of a potential Ponzi scheme arriving on our shores to recruit new victims.  Another person who coined onto the scam and tried to warn people in advance was Danny de Hek.

Welcome to this week's episode of the PEBCAK Podcast! We've got four amazing stories this week so sit back, relax, and keep being awesome! Be sure to stick around for our Dad Joke of the Week. (DJOW) Follow us on Instagram @pebcakpodcast PEBCAK - Acronym of “problem exists between chair and keyboard.”

Being Well Informed focuses on cryptocurrency scams. Our guest from AARP enlightens the audience on the types of cryptocurrency scams trending. Our second guest in Part II shares about the history and existence of the Anne Arundel County NAACP Greenbook. 

According to Pew Research, one in six Americans say they've invested in, traded, or used cryptocurrency as of 2021. But as interest in cryptocurrency and NFTs has risen, so too have scams targeting investors. In part two of our series on cryptocurrency, Portfolio Manager Ryan Owen joins us to discuss common scams targeting the crypto space. We'll learn how these scams work and what steps investors can take to protect themselves.  

Today we need to have an honest discussion about the largest growing scam category. Once you finish learning about it in this podcast, you will have to help spread the word to friends, family, and people you know. Don't let them become a victim. Although cryptocurrency has yet to become a mainstream payment method, reports to the Federal Trade Commission show it's an alarmingly common method for scammers to get peoples' money. Since the start of 2021, more than 46,000 people have reported losing over $1 billion in crypto to scams – that's about one out of every four dollars reported lost. That's more than any other payment method. The median individual reported loss? A whopping $2,600. Bitcoin was the most prevalent requested cryptocurrency by scammers. Seven out of ten requests were for Bitcoin, 10 percent were for Tether and 9% were Ether. As big as those numbers are, they still don't give us a complete picture of the scam losses with crypto. The vast majority of frauds are never reported so if we are just looking at reported numbers, it is a small percentage of total losses. Crypto has several features that are attractive to scammers, which may help to explain why the reported losses in 2021 were nearly sixty times what they were in 2018. Losses continue to accelerate. In the first quarter of 2022, crypto scam reported losses are almost $330 million. If it continues at this rate 2022 should end with about $1.5 billion in reported losses. There's no bank or other centralized authority to flag suspicious transactions and attempt to stop fraud before it happens. Crypto transfers can't be reversed – once the money's gone, there's no getting it back. And most people are still unfamiliar with how crypto works. These considerations are not unique to crypto transactions, but they all play into the hands of scammers. Reports point to social media and crypto as a combustible combination for fraud. Nearly half the people who reported losing crypto to a scam since 2021 said it started with an ad, post, or message on a social media platform. During this period, nearly four out of every ten dollars reported lost to a fraud originating on social media was lost in crypto, far more than any other payment method. The top platforms identified in these reports were Instagram (32%), Facebook (26%), WhatsApp (9%), and Telegram (7%). Of the reported crypto fraud losses that began on social media, most are investment scams. Indeed, since 2021, $575 million of all crypto fraud losses reported to the FTC were about bogus investment opportunities, far more than any other fraud type. The stories people share about these scams describe a perfect storm: false promises of easy money paired with people's limited crypto understanding and experience. Investment scammers claim they can quickly and easily get huge returns for investors. But those crypto “investments” go straight to a scammer's wallet. People report that investment websites and apps let them track the growth of their crypto, but it's all fake. Some people report making a small “test” withdrawal – just enough to convince them it's safe to go all in. When they really try to cash out, they're told to send more crypto for (fake) fees, and they don't get any of their money back. Romance scams are a distant second to investment scams, with $185 million in reported cryptocurrency losses since 2021 – that's nearly one in every three dollars reported lost to a romance scam during this period. And many have an investment twist too. These keyboard Casanovas reportedly dazzle people with their supposed wealth and sophistication. This strategy is called “pig slaughtering.” If you'd like to leave a voice message for an upcoming podcast, visit this link. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/get-out-of-debt-guy/message
