This podcast was inspired by all the questionable projects and tokens that were introduced to world once Bitcoin paved the value for value transfer decentralization. For about an hour, a carefully selected Co-Host and I will provide out opinions of the Token, Project or Concept we feel are important for people just starting to learn the ins and outs of the Financial Technology space.

It continues to show that when you suspect something is off on a project, investigation usually reveals that it'...
