In this episode I spoke to David Z Morris, Chief Insights columnist at Coindesk who wrote a really nice book review of Block Radicals and creator of the Crypto Crooks podcast. David's been following the crypto space since near the beginning when he reported on the gold bug community's interest in bitcoin a decade ago. He is also the author of a book called Bitcoin is Magic.During the discussion we talk about how the crypto space has evolved with the rise of venture capital, the insanity of the last crypto bubble, and socialist finance. One of the main things we conclude is that most of these big finance and VC think boi influencers are not nearly as smart as people think. In fact, if you're a listener of the podcast, you're probably smarter than them and less detached from reality.Big thank you to Dallas Taylor for helping edit this episode!If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

His coin was history, repeated. Financial experts foretold the failure of Do Kwon's empire from the beginning – because they'd seen it all happen before, at the Bank of England no less. In our deep dive into terraUSD, we examine how the death spiral that ate the stablecoin alive was knit into the very fabric of the project.

This week we delve into terraUSD's winners, its losers and the rules of the whole twisted game."Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.TerraUSD and its so-called “ecosystem” were always a game – one only some investors realized they were playing. As we fall deeper into the death spiral, we look at the retail investors who were indisputable victims of Do Kwon's scheme. Many of them lost life savings and even, ultimately, their lives, in the wave of suicides which followed the depeg. We also look at the more complicated role of financial professionals in propping up Do Kwon's empire, many of whom got out of the racket millions of dollars richer than when they'd gone in.

This week, we dig into the rise of Do Kwon, the enormous appeal of his almost magical algorithmic stablecoin – and the far less charmed reality underlying his machinations from the very start."Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.Do Kwon said he could print money out of thin air. Who could resist a sell like that? Welcome back to “Crypto Crooks.” This season, over the course of four episodes plus a bonus fifth on recent developments, we tackle Do Kwon and his so-called algorithmic stablecoin. We're starting with the seductive appeal of the concept. Everyone, from crypto's bigwig financiers to hundreds of thousands of retail depositors, was buying into the dream.
