Podcasts about topics first

Last week, John handled things on his own with a motivational solo episode. What does that mean for this week? Well, there's a lot of CATCHING UP to do!This Week, Denison shares the details on his surprise trip to Austin, one of America's weirdest cities. The Hard Cider-lovers we are, Denison dives into his cider-tasting at the city's famous Austin Eastciders, one of the many highlights of the trip! It's a tale of two weeks, as John shares his battle against a strong stomach virus, a biopsy, and burnout, with bigger and brighter things for both on the horizon.THE TOPICS: FIRST, We discuss the state of the Olympic Games. Just days before the Opening Ceremony, there's still widespread concern over the safety of athletes and fans amid a pandemic. We discuss the safety precautions Japan is taking, including banning all tourists from attending the games - something sure to be a huge economic loss for a Country that's invested so much. We also compare this to the postponed Euro 2020, going on right now. What's working for that event, and why is there much less concern for it compared to The Olympics? We also discuss the bizarre things  being done by Games organizers to keep competitors safe, including (but not limited to) banning condoms.NEXT, the banning of Dallas track star Sha'Carri Richardson from the Olympic Games. She had just claimed her title as the fastest woman in America, running the 100-meter dash in 10.64 seconds. The 21-year-old had the opportunity to stake her claim as fastest in the world on the global stage in Tokyo. But, she tested positive for marijuana just a month before the Opening Ceremony, causing the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to ban her from this year's competition. Richardson says she smoked after the death of her Mom as a way to cope. The action by officials has drawn strong reaction from both sides, and may soon influence the way the USADA polices marijuana use in the future (taking a page out of the book of UFC). But will it spark change on a global level? There's a lot to get into!JOIN THE DISCUSSION!Follow us:FacebookInstagramYouTubeOfficial WebsiteEmail us: TheCatchupCast@Gmail.comSupport the show (https://www.nosignalrocks.com/the-catchup-podcast/)

When we started this podcast, we predicted that there will be a phase of the industry that would see the adoption of cryptocurrencies at the country level. This level would be the last phase before we would have world wide adoption taking place. Today was the first step of that phase. El Salvador officially acknowledges Bitcoin as legal tender for the country. President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador is setting a precedence for the rest of the countries as the adoption of Bitcoin is imminent. The Colonial pipeline hack compromised a fundamental part of the US infrastructure, however did the FBI really compromise Bitcoin? Finally we debate on whether we're going to see a resurgence of Bitcoin and the field of cryptocurrencies sooner rather than later. Topics: First up, El Salvador Makes Bitcoin Legal Tender Next, What Does it Mean for a Country to Get into Crypto Then, Can Ransom Ware Using Bitcoin as Payment Tarnish its Image? Finally, Will We See Bitcoin Make a Comeback Sooner Rather than Later? Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We return after a few weeks since our last long from podcast. Having projects of our own has taken a focus for the time being but we're dedicated to creating content because it helps us stay knowledgeable about what's going in the crypto space.

We transition from President Trump to President Biden we anticipated a lot of friction during the inauguration, but nothing happened. This is good news as we're able to continue evaluating where the crypto market goes with what could be far less distractions. We also experiment with short form content on Youtube to test out a few assumptions and it seems to be gaining more traction.

On January 6th, we witnessed several historic events unfolding on this podcast. Trump supporters took over and forced an evacuation of the Capitol building in protest of the Democratic election.

When we first started The Block Runner podcast, it was at the very bottom of the most recent bear cycle for Bitcoin. If you listen to the earliest episodes we identify how the $3k price would be the low for this cycle. On today's podcast, we usher in the next stage of Bitcoin breaking the previous all time high and reaching as high as $23,500! We know that 2019 was the year for institutional accumulation and now they're beginning to discuss their investment into the first cryptocurrency.

We take a step back to gain perspective on the DeFi space. There's an all time high in locked liquidity at $14 billion and we correlate the last DeFi bull run with the all time high GAS prices.

We return to discuss some of the latest developments happening within Decentraland. This time Decentral Games releases their own Token called $DG. This token will serve as a governance token to decide on where to spend funds decided by the community. The token will also be used to incentivize players to gamble in their casino.

With the recent surge of Bitcoin we take a look back at our predictions and acknowledge the cadence that Bitcoin has in the market. Regardless of the environmental effects surrounding Bitcoin, it seems that Bitcoin has a mind of its own. The latest run has Bitcoin now going past $17k. The last time this happened was back in 2017 during the previous bull run. We then get into Decentraland's district dilemma where we describe the lack of content being deployed. MetaZone finally supports district deployments where meta-owners can now contribute their meta to districts. This means that you don't have to be a landowner to purchase and deploy a meta. This means revenue generating metas can now be deployed and revenue can be shared with districts. Big things are happening in Decentraland. Stay tuned to the end for the next event! Topics: First up, Bitcoin takes off as we look back at how we got here. Next, events in Decentraland is only phase 1 towards the longterm journey. Then, we go over some fundamental missing pieces in Decentraland. Finally, lets take a look at how we're solving the district dilemma in Decentraland.

On this episode we collect our thoughts on what's needed for sustainability for those looking to get involved in the metaverse. There are several events happening all the time in Decentraland, but events are reduced to limited appearances rather than a persistent experience and exploration opportunities. The Decentraland community is among the most active and involved out of all the metaverses. One of the more important things the community can improve on is DAO proposals and discussion. Finally, we draw the winners for wearable NFTs for the latest Corona Zombies event. Topics: First up, What Should the @Decentraland Community be Focusing On?

We review the Halloween event that Decentraland launched that showcased a quest that spanned over 5 days. It showcased questing that required you to teleport to different locations to finish off your tasks. This shows that our premise that you can build a game without owning a large connected parcel. We also discuss the most dominant NFT asset class that represents over 99% of all NFTs. There's a new NFT class emerging that we consider as a productive NFT versus the well known unproductive NFT which depends on the Greater Fool Theory. Topics: First up, we review the Halloween event in Decentraland Next, almost all NFTs are non-producing asset. Then, we explain how every NFT that exists today depends on the Greater Fool Theory and Finally, we show how we're introducing the first productive NFT.

We look back on a year of content development in Decentraland. We go from a gray grid of 90,000 parcels to a fully rendered representation of actual content deployed within the metaverse (https://decentraland.icu/). We provide how it makes logical sense that all NFT minting projects will use a side chain because its a sound business decision. If a sidechain wasn't an option will it make sense for developers to keep assets off chain to avoid gas fees? We try to make sense of an NFT art being sold for $110K. We break down what's needed to sell art in the 6 figures. Topics: First up, we take a look back at 1 year of development in Decentraland Next, we summarize how the NFT landscape will evolve. Then, how a sidechain is the right business decision. And Finally, we break down what it takes to sell NFT art for $110 thousand dollars. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

Episode 86 kicks off with a discussion on tokenomics design the MetaZone platform. We discuss how we encourage participation on the platform by rewarding the creators and collectors with platform tokens. Gas fees have calmed down recently, but increasing gas prices are just around the corner. Honeyswap is a fork of Uniswap but built on top of the xDAI network. This means that swaps cost almost no gas but the downside is coins need to use a bridge for them to work on the 2nd layer. We drop in some technical analysis into the podcast to show that sometimes it does work but its an unreliable tool. Finally, the community that created the $HNY token called 1Hive.org uses a way to verify their members and one of them created Honeyswap. Topics: First up, a Hacker takes over $150 million dollars from Kucoin exchange. Next, Someone built Uniswap on xDAI sidechain called Honeyswap. Then, We discuss whether or not technical analysis is reliable. Finally, Can a community start with a token and be successful? Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

With the latest UNI airdrop, we dive into thinking through all the possible airdrops that could occur from other platforms. Uniswap has grown to a volume that has surpassed larger centralized exchanges such as Coinbase. With a decentralized exchange releasing a token to reward the behavior they want to encourage, Uniswap is poised to grow even larger. In this podcast, we break down the connection between SORA and Polkaswap. As we look for the next sector of the industry to do a parabolic run up, we speculate that the next ecosystem with high potential would be Polkadot. We also dive into the Plasm platform and we breakdown their lockdrop protocol. Topics: First up, We Debrief on the Effects of the UNI Distribution. Next, What's the connection between SORA and Polkaswap? Then, We Breakdown what is Plasm and their Lockdrop Finally, How Polkadot will solve a lot of Ethereum's issues.

The MetaZone team consisting of Corv, William and Iman come together to discuss progress on MetaZone and the entire NFT space. We make grand predictions that almost every NFT minting platform will have their own platform token to incentivize activity on their own platform. We believe in helping landowners monetize their land in a way that is sustainable while growing the value of the land in Decentraland. Ethermon has built the next meta that will allow landowners to make 20% from every sale of eggs on their land. Each egg hatches an Ethermon NFT that is able to grow and gain levels in Decentraland. We also contemplate a proper tokenomics strategy for MetaZone that will properly reward users for their activity on MetaZone. Finally we breakdown why sidechains will become a standard in the crypto industry. Topics: First up, What's taking so long for the Ethermon Egg Nest? Next, Update on MetaZone NFTs. Then, What is the proper tokenomics for NFT platforms? And Finally, Sidechains will become standard. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

On the heels of a topic Iman and William have been talking about for at least a few months, our predictions begin to show accuracy. Rarible is the first large NFT minting platform to reward the behavior they want to encourage. They released the $RARI token and airdropped it to creators and collectors with 75,000 tokens sent out weekly by participating on the platform. We explore how this will ignite a DeFi style explosion of NFT platforms. We predict the proliferation of this tactic as this is something that would be helpful in MetaZone. Not only do we think a token platform makes sense for MetaZone, but we believe generating tokens and other cryptographic assets for the underlying game itself will help increase user adoption and overall sustainability within the ecosystem. Topics: First up, How NFT platforms will deploy ERC20s as a new industry standard Next, we identify missing pieces for a sustainable ecosystem in #Decentraland Then, How DeFi has shaped the overall cryptocurrency space. Finally, xDAI sidechain will solve the gas issue. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app! Website: www.theblockrunner.com Try using the Brave browser.

If you haven't been paying attention to what types of projects most of the volume is going towards, you might be missing what could cause a trillion dollar crypto market. With several billions locked up in the DeFi ecosystem, this sector of the crypto space is on its way of catapulting the general industry into the trillion dollar range. We begin the discussion with how we predicted that DeFi would fuel the next exponential expansion of the crypto industry in late 2019. Topics: First up, How #DeFi Will Lead the Next Bull Run.

On today's podcast we interview the CEO of Liquidity.Network to discuss GAS fees and solutions to the scalability problem. Arthur Gervais breaks down how Ethereum has a bottle neck and how many other blockchains suffer from the same inherent problem. Arthur helps understand why Ethereum can only handle a handful of transactions per second. What are the implications of a sidechain versus an off chain transaction. He also explains how Liquidity Network is able to achieve gasless transactions and what it could do for dapp developers like us. The onbaording process is an important aspect to get correct and we get into the details on how that works for any developer looking to reduce gas fees. Finally, we ask what its like to develop in both bull and bear markets and the differences between each. Topics: First up, Arthur breaks down how and why there's a scalability struggle with some of the larger blockchain networks. Next, What are the differences between side chain and off chain solutions for scaling. Then, What makes Liquidity Network handle transactions better than the other 2nd layer scaling solutions like Matic or Raiden.

Right off the heels of the biggest competition in Decentraland, a soccer tournament with 24 crypto companies face off on Moonshot! Iman has been commentating while the rest of the team has been preparing and competing in the tournament. We also discover a pattern we're seeing in the crypto space found in almost all sectors of the economy. The 80/20 rule where 80% of the audience focuses on the speculative aspects of a given market while the remaining 20% focuses on production, feasibility, improvement of that same market. The Decentralized Finance space is surging at the moment with the surge of new tokens appearing for trade. Finally, our final topic is how gaming will evolve in Decentraland.

In Texas we're experiencing another wave of Corona Virus illnesses and many cities are recommending people to stay at home as often as possible. In today's podcast we heed their advice as we host another discussion from a long distance. We start the conversation with the implications of NFT game assets. Do they need to be supported long term? Is it reasonable to expect developers to support their NFT assets in all future games? With the popular use of the Ethereum network, gas fees have been at levels detrimental to the end user. Its beginning to interfere with business operating on the network, and the source seems to be from Tether. We also begin tossing around the idea of a MetaZone token. What is the use of such token and we begin to formulate the early design of tokenomics. As we continue to contribute to the construction to Decentraland, we postulate on what sorts of activities are needed to bring a thousand daily active users? Finally, could Ethermon gameplay be the start of longterm gameplay in Decentraland? Will this contribute to bringing in thousands of active users? Topics: First up, What are the longterm implications of NFT game assets? Next, We break down the Ethereum Gas fee and why its high right now Then, What activity could bring a thousand daily active users. And Finally, The Ethermon garden meta is only the beginning.

We are proud to announce our collaboration with Ethermon to bring Digital Pets into Decentraland! In this collaboration we help the Ethermon team distribute their digital pet game to various landowners. Each landowner will be able to sell Ethermon as well We started this journey with just a podcast that evolved into a tool for the Decentraland community that allows creators to fund their own development. Each user generated creation is on its way to becoming an NFT and on that path we've generated over 2 million mana. That means over 1.4 million mana directly in the hands of the creators. With that level of creative resources we expect to see more development into Decentraland which will bring us closer to a well populated metaverse. Topics: First up, Builder and SDK scenes can now merge with new and existing metas! Next, Ethermon partners with MetaZone to release digital pets!

We open up today's podcast with a speech from Steve Jobs from 1996 when he returns to Apple. He discusses the core values of Apple as well as the passion they have in the things they build. In our daily interactions we recognize there is a passion within the Decentraland community that fuels the creativity and development. This passion is what has fueled 1 million MANA in revenue through MetaZone all by creators. This is accomplished through only 20 creators where Metas are deployed at over 100 LANDs. The ability to accomplish something like this comes from the fact that Decentraland is an open market where anything can be built and the ones that survive are the ones who find a product market fit. Finally, we believe proof of work NFTs will end up being the most valuable NFTs. Topics: First up, we go over why the barrier to build in Decentraland is so high. Next, creators have generated 1 million MANA though MetaZone so far. Then, Decentraland is an open market of anything and what that means.

Decentraland Roundtable 6 is back with a larger group for a larger discussion. We get into it with some of the biggest contributors in Decentraland to discuss the idea of an open market for wearables. Does restricting the supply early on make sense to minimize the explosion of wearables? Will an open market render the existing supply valueless? We all agree that we have to limit nefarious content from showing up in the world so we discuss a few methods on how to do that. The real question is if you can limit one piece of content you could limit any piece of content. What's the most agreeable method to reasonably censor negative content? We then pick apart how decentralized is Decentraland when it comes to DMCA take downs and other possibilities of outside censorship. Finally, we discuss the flexible capabilities of being in the metaverse including a better way to experience a conference! Topics: First up, should wearables be an open market? Next, How nefarious content should be handled Then, how decentralized is @Decentraland Finally, How should events look in the metaverse? Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

We gather for another roundtable number four. The usual suspects return as we debrief from our previous discussion of the LAO. A way to govern the DAO funds in Decentraland is one of the more polarizing discussions to have. Sustainability seems to be the most intuitive way to govern the funds but a for profit DAO does come with consequences. In another discussion point, how do you determine the best metaverse? Who becomes liable when a deployment is considered detrimental to society? Who has the responsibility to throttle content? Finally, we discuss what Decentraland should be prioritizing in the short term. Topics: First up, we debrief on the value of the LAO. Next, What is the best metaverse? Then, Where's the liability when deploying nefarious content? Finally, What should @decentraland prioritize in the short term Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

In the 3rd installment of the Decentraland Roundtable, we bring new faces into the discussion inlcuding Baus from Decentral Games and Daniel from PolygonalMind. In today's roundtable our topic around the social features of Decentraland are being improved and how this will help retain new players. We brainstorm ways to improve that retention and what the collective community can do to help. Another important topic is whether or not to make wearable creation a free market minting process or one where you apply for a whitelist. Many other metaverses allow for a seamless onboarding process whereas Decentraland requires you to have a metamask. Is eliminating the wallet requirement good enough to bring in more people? With new voices in today's discussion, the DAO still has many ways it could be implemented. We discuss a few ways we can align the growth of Decentraland with the voters that influence the direction of the metaverse. Topics: First up, How can Decentraland plug their leaky bucket? Next, a free market of wearables or a whitelist? Then, How can we improve onbaording players into DCL? Finally, What DAO structure makes sense?

In the second installment of the roundtable series the collective group discusses the latest developments within Decentraland. The group discusses the most efficient way of bringing the masses into Decentraland. One path is to focus on developers to create new experiences. Decentraland being the platform can facilitate unique experiences if the focus is to onboard developers. We bring up the LAO and maybe have the DAO focused on replenishing their reserves will align the incentives for all parties involved. With the Foundation forming, we're getting a more transparent look as to what the team is building and better communication with the community. At the end, we take a look at the proposal for creating wearables and authorizing collections. Topics: First up, we discuss methods on bringing the masses to Decentraland. Next, how the DAO should be governed and the LAO could be an option. Then, we break down what The Foundation is. and Finally, we look into the proposal for creating wearables and authorizing collections. Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

With the ongoing pandemic, Decentraland and Binance join forces to fight COVID-19. At CryptoValley you can donate $10 worth of ETH and get an NFT wearable mask for your avatar. This is just an example of the crypto community coming together in the metaverse to help improve the situation for the real heroes on the front lines, the healthcare industry. In another update in Decentraland, the ability to stream audio has now become a meta called Cyber Jukebox. The Event Calendar has also been updated which will be used as data to feed into the upcoming changes to the world map. Decentraland has also being transparent with their DAO efforts via their new forum. Finally we break down the LAO and how this relates to how Decentraland's DAO could run if the community decides to do it.

Shinji Ikari runs away! Which gives us time to reflect on the thing all teens do. Which is to rebel! Skip us chewing the fat/synopsis @ 5:50   Theme music: 'Electro Hype' by Liam Bradbury.   Neon Genesis Evangelion vol. 2 Chapters 7 to 12.   By Yoshiyuki Sadamoto Adapted to English by Lillian Olsen, Fred Burke + Carl Gustav Horn   Topics: First form of fan service/gratuity shot (Misato in shower p212) Comparing the depiction of Shinji compared to the Anime, he has a tough exterior but we get more thought bubbles and inner monologs. Sadamoto’s intention was to “shine a spotlight on Shinji’s soul” Shinji vs Misato – Why did Misato slap him? Is Shinji doing the right thing? And is it right for Shinji to live with Misato? Running away from home and generally rebelling against your parents. The action scene that involves a depleting battery.   Synopsis:   Shinji arrives in his new home, Misato Katsuragi’s apartment. He is introduced to her pet penguin, Penpen and her pig sty mess of a home. Her fridge is full of nothing but beer, she eats TV dinners and gives Shinji the majority of chores. Decided by a fair game of rock, paper, scissors of course!   Shinji attends school and rumour quickly spreads that he was the pilot in the fight with the Angel. He is flattered by the attention but by confirming the rumours he exposes himself to criticism. A classmate, Toji, blames Shinji’s sloppy fight for putting his sister in hospital. During classroom breaks Toji beats up Shinji.   In a surprise attack, a new Angel appears, merely 3 weeks after Shinji and Rei fought the last one. Toji and his friend Aida sneak out from their shelter to record video of the fight. During the fight, Shinji’s power line is cut and thus he is forced to fight with a battery backup. Toji and Aida almost die as Shinji’s Eva falls towards them. Shinji spots them and goes against Misato’s orders by opening the entry plug to the Eva. He allows Toji and Aida to sit beside him inside the cockpit for their own protection.   Shinji refuses Misato’s order to retreat from the fight, he fights the Angel as the clock countdowns the battery. By the time the battery dies, the angel dies too.   Afterwards Misato berates Shinji for his defiance, he remains detached and cavalier both about the situation and his relationship with Misato. She slaps him.   Shinji runs away, he briefly meets Aida before he is apprehended by NERV agents. Aida envies the position of Eva pilot but Shinji, when given the choice, refuses to pilot Eva. Shinji is given his belongings and cast out of NERV. When Toji and Aida go to Misato’s home out of concern for Shinji, They tell Misato that although Shinji acts calm and nihilistic, he is still just a child. He will act like a spoilt brat when not appreciated. Misato runs out and stops Shinji before he gets on the train out of town. Shinji knows he has nowhere else to go and can only stay where he feels he is needed. Misato asks for Shinji to come back home.   Pop culture references/Product placement:   Pocky Yebisu Beer   Instagram – weappreciatemanga.co.uk Twitter - @RealJamesFitton Website – Weappreciatemanga.com Email – Weappreciatemanga@gmail.com

William and Iman collect a group of Decentraland all stars including Corv, FrankyNeedles and Lastraum to discuss our thoughts on the launch. We discuss the gear we found in many of the beta tests and how they'll increase in valuation. A Decentralized Autonomous Organization will be responsible with many of the updates and governance of the platform. Throughout this journey, many of us have asked ourselves whether it continues to make sense pouring in our time and investments in building out things in the metaverse. We also discuss some feedback for the Decentraland team which ranges from some SDK improvements to additional functionality that would open up new experiences. We also discuss what has more value between MANA and LAND. Make sure you stay tuned till the end to watch us go through some play tests. Keep in mind the final tests will have some bugs in preparation of the launch in just a few days. Finally we discuss how NFTs are supported in Decentraland such as wearables and how the community could contribute to his space.

As we prepare ourselves for the launch of Decentraland on 02/20/2020, we cover everything that's been happening in the crypto space. Bitcoin inches closer to its halvening which is contributing to this year's all time high. The Decentralized Finance community has reached a psychological milestone where $1 billion has been locked up in DeFi protocols. With RSK, Bitcoin is now interoperable with the Ethereum network enabling new functionality. Pretty soon we're going to start seeing NFTs used as collateral in a similar way a house is used as collateral. Brian Armstrong explains the similarities in maturity with messaging and crypto. Another exchanged gets hacked. Finally, we reveal our 2 new games powered by MetaZone.io! Topics: First up, Bitcoin establishes a new high for 2020 Next, DeFi reaches a billion dollar milestone and the Bridge between Bitcoin and Ethereum Then, NFT's used a collateral.

Andrew Yang being the only candidate with a cryptocurrency policy won an Iowa Youth Straw Poll and why it might indicate his potential to win the presidential nominee. Bitcoin has been rising since the start of 2020, could we be in a bull market right before the halvening occurs? We're a week removed from our interview with Ben Kelly.

We've been discussing Non Fungible Tokens lately in our search to predict the next asset class to be the next speculative craze. NFT's in short seem to be slowly growing over time in volume. We look into the assets on Opensea to discuss the viability of these assets, why they become valuable and why they may become the catalyst to mass speculation. We also break down the differences in the current NFT standards for Ethereum for ERC721, ERC1155, and ERC998. Each created for a specific purpose to satisfy a particular game mechanic or style. NBA player, Spender Dinwiddie tokenized his NBA contract to receive funds up and pay his investors a 5% bonus on their investment. We discuss how this might be a common occurrence in the future. Finally, we discuss an idea we've been tossing around that could help bring a larger audience to Decentraland and at the same time create a valuable resource to the NFT economy. Topics: First up, we discuss the NFT bible that was published on Open Sea Next, we dive in deeper into the differences between all the ERC token standards for NFTs Then, an NBA player tokenizes his NBA contract and launches his token.

William, Iman and Oscar gather again to close out the Game Jam updates. We go over what place we got in the comptetion and we also go through the top 3 winners. The Decentraland community is its greatest asset and the community needs to develop ways to encourage players to continuously return to the game. Without this incentive, developing for decentraland is unsustainable. Our contribution, Metazone, focuses on providing an easy way for land owners to deploy content to their land without the hassle of deployment that currently exists. We also discuss Lebron's statement on punishing Daryl Morey for his tweets that support Hong Kong. Topics: First up we go over the top 3 winners of Decentraland's Game Jam.

Get into Decentraland! During the Game Jam starting September 16th, if you build and submit your project you will get 200 Mana by using the link below: http://bit.ly/2Ng0OAW Your submission will help support the channel. Thank you! We get the crew back together to discuss developments with our Game Jam submission for the competition in Decentraland. One of our important discussion points is the difficulty of deploying custom creations onto a plot of land. Typically, a land owner would need to receive the source code for the custom creation, then using a command prompt and scene code to deploy the creation. The whole process is not user friendly and discouraging to people who want to contribute. That is why we created the http://MetaZone.io app. This helps anyone who wants to deploy any custom creation quickly and easily without the help of developers. Anyone can sell their creations right through the app as well, bringing the first Decentraland app store. With about a week left of the Game Jam which ends September 30, 2019, we discuss our final touches to our submissions. Topics: First up, we clarify how landowners deploy custom creations today?  Then we go over how https://MetaZone.io makes it easier for anyone to deploy custom creations on their land.  Finally, our game jam submission update.  The best way to protect your cryptocurrency is by using a hardware wallet, find one here: https://amzn.to/2LzdFvP Please like and subscribe.

We were recommended to have Daniel Garcia join the show to discuss how cryptocurrencies have affected 3d design and virtual worlds.

The nostalgic game of World of Warcraft Classic recently launched and we get into its addictive affects. Its not all bad though, gaming was responsible for teaching children new languages to financial responsibility. We migrate our discussion to Neuralink and how the threat of a hack is heightened because a brain interface would be the ultimate form of privacy invasion. Finally, we get an outsider's perspective of the U.S.'s mass shooting epidemic. Topics: First up, we get an introduction on how Daniel got started creating assets for Decentraland and how he got into cryptocurrencies overall Next, we discuss the addictive nature of World of Warcraft and how it contributes positively to society.
