Podcasts about cryptopians idealism

Many crypto platforms entice new investors by saying you should buy into the industry even if you don't understand it, or else risk getting left behind. Andy has some issues with that. He speaks to reporter Laura Shin, who's been covering the crypto industry since 2015, about his major qualms with digital currencies, from carbon emissions and marketing deception to its unregulated nature. Laura explains, and on many occasions attempts to defend, what's going on in the crypto market and how it can be used to solve some real world problems.

President Joe Biden issued a long-awaited cryptocurrency executive order Wednesday, directing federal agencies to study a wide range of issues including protecting consumers and businesses, safeguarding national security, and preventing criminal activity. The order also includes a directive to study the possibility of creating a U.S. digital dollar, an idea that other countries like China, which already has government-backed tokens, have embraced. Biden's order comes as countries around the world have been rushing to catch up on regulating the cryptocurrency market. We'll talk about the prevalence of crypto, its growing acceptance as a currency and how it should be regulated. Guests: Laura Shin, host, "Unchained" podcast. Shin is the author of "The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies and the Making of the First Cryptocurrency Craze" Nathaniel Popper, author of "Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money" Charlie Warzel, contributing writer, The Atlantic.

Laura Shin is the host of the Unchained podcast. She was also the first mainstream journalist to cover Crypto full time for Forbes.  She is also the author of her recently launched new book called "The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze. I have been following Laura for a very long while and have listened to all of the episodes of her fantastic podcast. In my conversation with Laura, we discuss the ideology of crypto, how DAOs are changing the future, and both having studied Philosophy and in particular Nietzche, our views and predictions on the future of technology.

Today, most people are familiar with the fascinating world of cryptocurrency, though some of us are more familiar than others. Many people only hear about it in the news and across social media platforms, while some individuals stake their livelihoods on investments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. According to crypto journalist Laura Shin, the total value of crypto assets today is just shy of $2 trillion. But that's far from the most interesting aspect of an increasingly prevalent crypto fever. Shin—"Unchained Podcast" host — will do more than explore the backgrounds of these uniquely decentralized currencies. She'll hone in on Ethereum, the crypto network whose success has ignited the fire surrounding today's cryptocurrencies, and the figures who made Ethereum's success possible. From a child prodigy to a Goldman Sachs exec, the story of Ethereum's rise is unlike that of any other—and Laura Shin, who previously served as Forbes' first mainstream reporter of crypto assets, is just the person you'll want to hear tell it.

In this SPOTLIGHT episode of Tech Intersect, I selected a recent conversation with crypto investigative reporter Laura Shin, from part 2 of my 100th episode. First, it's one of the most popular to date. And second, Laura just released her book, The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze. So, I thought this would be a great time to share this insightful and engaging chat about the past, present and future of crypto and the rise, controversies, promise, pitfalls and transformative impact of Ethereum on crypto, NFTs, defi and beyond.And today, Laura dropped an exclusive interview with Forbes to share her conclusion about who hacked The DAO in 2016, diverting 3.6 million ether. She identifies the apparent hacker by following a complicated trail of crypto transactions and using a  privacy-cracking forensics tool. SPONSORED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY  With Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the way, the cryptocurrency market is booming.
