Eureka Street Creative Podcast
206 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingTake everything you think you know about crypto and poop it in the toilet. Shout between the stalls to your neighbor to show your support for their struggle. Light a match to cover up the Taco Bell token you bought earlier. Give a congratulatory hoot when you flush and finish. This is my anti-professional crypto channel. I‘m just a a barely sane dude who fell down the cryptocurrency rabbit hole. This channel is my fumbling attempt to communicate myself outside of my own head about my journey in the crypto space.

Episode 470 - Is old dawg Bancor DEX teetering on death spiral now too?
June 28, 2022 13:30 - 33 minutes - 77.6 MBGood morning! This morning I go through a CryptoSlate article that coevrs the current issue of Bancor freezing their impermanent loss protection service. This service, along with their tempting rewards are why many people jumped participating into Bancor's DEX LP's in the first place. Two of these participants are most likeley Celsius and 3AC who are going through a death spiral themselves. Their death spiral is possibly causing havoc on Bancor's liquidity along with an anonymous large short...
Episode 141 - Celsius under investigation - What is Parity Substrate and how does Polkadot use it?
June 27, 2022 13:41 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB****Note: I said Ford S10. I meant Chevy S10! But I think you got the idea hopefully. Good morning! First up until the 12:00 minute mark, listen to me ramble on about Celsius and how they are being investigated. I received an e-mail from the Texas State Securities Board asking me to complete a survey on my dealings with Celsius. Sounds like they are in hot water. I hope I am not. Probably not, but hey, something to consider. Then, around the 12:00 minute mark, I get into the Polkadot Eco...
Episode 140 - Harmony blockchain bridge suffers 100 million dollar hack and other morning tangents
June 26, 2022 13:47 - 28 minutes - 65.9 MBGood morning! As I meander around on my morning news dump, I talk about the recent Harmony Horizon Bridge hack of over $100 million. The hack was not a smart contract exploit, but instead, was an exploit of the private keys of a multisig wallet. I explore this hack and talk about foundational crypto concepts along the way.

Episode 139 - Ditch the voting apathy and make sure your vote is cast wisely!
June 23, 2022 15:55 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBGood morning! This morning I speak about voting in DAOs. DAOs have notoriously low participation in voting as well as people that just speculate on the governance tokens. This has been an issue lots of communities have been trying to solve. This issue even applies to the large-scale apathy we see in our nation-wide voting today. In this episode I go over a prototype of a voting system being developed by Re-Public.io. The idea is that a DAO gives the members voting tokens that are non-t...
Episode 138 - Poking around Tron’s USDD. Is it primed to collapse like UST?
June 22, 2022 12:28 - 31 minutes - 71.7 MBGood morning! Normally, I don't pay attention to what's going on with the Tron ecosystem and especially not the USDD decentralized stablecoin. In fact, I had never even heard of it until a few days ago. But with all the fear whipped up from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, there are now rumors that Tron could do the same thing. I saw the Tron TKN token jump to #13 in the market-cap rankings and it piqued my curiosity. So here I am beating the Tron bush for some news and seeing what ...

Episode 137 - Making your donation actually count for something with Gitcoin Grants
June 21, 2022 13:19 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBGood morning! In this episode I take a gander at Gitcoin Grants and a couple of projects I donated to using a concept called quadratic funding. It is a way to donate to make sure that everyone's vote/donation matters. There is more weight put on the amount of different people donating to a project than one large donor. This way, large donors are not able to manipulate outcomes just because they have to cash power. There is a pool of funds donated by larger organizations that match indiv...

This Monday morning I get up from my wife prodding me in my side to stop sleep-talking about crypto and go downstairs to flip on the YouTube and make a show about it. I talk about mining Ethereum with my crappy little GPU's and how I am using them to mine BTC as the result. One thing I love about the crypto space is the ingenuity.

I highlight Brandon0x's path to DAO's and I got the chance to speak with Infinite Homie who is a fellow BanklessDAO member who has taken the reigns in operations for CryptoSapiens and the Podcast Hatchery.

Episode 133 - Rehypothecation is the word of the month kids! The collapse of Celsius.
June 17, 2022 13:48 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MBGood morning! This morning I talk about my current state of unemployment due to my decision to quit my stable mundane job and jump into the crypto space at the worst possible time in the history of crypto. I take this opportunity with everything that is going on with the market crash and with the Celsius collapse to learn all about rehypothecation and what that long word means!

June 12, 2022 14:28 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MBGood morning! I finally carved out some time to do a Eureka Street episode. In this episode I talk about how event though the market is down, crypto and web3 are still as strong as ever. The market is just shaking out all the chodes and crappy projects in the space. Then Jack Dorsey claims that web3 will die and that web5 is where it's at. Web5 is a decentralized internet and identity layer that will sit on top of Bitcoin. Is that even bitcoin anymore? Or is he trying to force bitcoin to bec...
Web3 Basics with OpenCurrnt.io - Episode 03 - Knowledge Sharing and Social Media

Web3 solves the contributor rewards issue, the centralization issue, and give the user the opportunity for governance on the platform.

Episode 131 - Soulbound NFT Tokens - Dystopia or Liberation?
May 27, 2022 15:18 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MBGood morning! This morning I read an article by Vitalik Buterin where he explores the concept, use cases and issues of soul bound tokens. I completely love the idea of being able to hold your college transcripts and degrees in your wallet as a non-transferable NFT. I love that the issuer does not retain permanent control over that data. However, there needs to be privacy a burning mechanism by the owner of the NFT. Otherwise, the soulbound token could have deep dystopian implications. ...

May 17, 2022 00:56 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBThis is the first video in partnership with OpenCurrnt.io where I go over some of the fundamentals of web 3.0. Quite often in my morning show videos I find myself spending a large amount of time explaining basic concepts for the audience and it seems to take a really long time to get to the point. I know I am guilty of rambling anyway, as that is just the way I am, but I thought it would help to make some video specifically covering the basics. OpenCurrnt.io is a platform that is seeking to ...
Episode 128 - Scratching my head over them Ape NFT’s
May 09, 2022 14:43 - 40 minutes - 93.3 MBGood morning! This morning I attempted to look at the whole Bored Ape phenomenon. I gave my limited perspective on them. Personally, I don't understand all the fomo about this NFT project and the new metaverse launching around it, but what do I know? People seems to be paying big bucks to be a part of it.

May 03, 2022 14:52 - 34 minutes - 78.1 MBGood morning! It is a casual morning for me. There is nothing really specific I highlight in this episode as I gloss over an article that talks about 7 key takeaways of Sergey Nazarov of Chainlink's interview with Ash Bennnington.

Here we discuss the knowledge gap and how to close it using web 3.0. An example of the knowledge gap is the disparity between the traditional institutions and the ground level of innovation that happens with everyday people in the online communities.

This morning I spend my usual time rambling and I end up looking a little bit at the Compass Mining website as I learn a bit about Bitcoin miner hosting services and different types of Bitcoin mining.

April 17, 2022 12:21 - 40 minutes - 93 MBIn this episode I speak with the team at The Cafe DAO. This DAO seeks to take DAOs beyond the screen of web3 and implement the structure into the form coffee shops. Coffee shops have for centuries been the place where new ideas and experimentation have happened and the pattern continues here with this team exploring different options and ways of thinking when doing business. Can a brick and mortar business really be run as a DAO with a flat structure with code at the center instead of in a t...
Episode 119 - Bucket Shops, Tulips, Accredited Investing, and Financial Exclusion
April 15, 2022 19:10 - 48 minutes - 110 MBGood morning! The whole subject of Celsius Network now only allowing accredited investors to earn on their platform has led me down a rabbit hole of ways the wealthy establishment perpetuate systematic financial discrimination and exclusion. This ends up driving those without the means to be "accredited investors" who would love to move upwardly financially into bubble frenzies and risky bucket-shop like projects and activities where they end up being further manipulated and oppressed. It ha...

April 14, 2022 15:39 - 42 minutes - 96.3 MBGood morning! This morning I talk about Celsius Network and Coinjoin. Celsius is a centralized crypto lending and savings platform. Basically a crypto bank that gave good interest rates for storing your crypto on there and allowed user to use their crypto as collateral for a loan. Those days are now over for the unaccredited investors. All good things come to an end and time to move on in my view. Then, the conversation with myself led to Coinjoin and the need for privacy in light of ...
Episode 117 - Exploring RPL token utility to defining rebasing in tokenomics and programming
April 12, 2022 13:31 - 32 minutes - 75.4 MBGood morning! This morning I study a little more about what the RPL token actually does in Rocketpool. Then I got hung up on what a rebase token is, so I did a search on that definition of rebasing and found out there are two very different uses of the word. One use is in tokenomics to describe an elastic token. The other is in programming to describe the combining of two branches in a development project. Nerdy, but interesting stuff!

Episode 112 - Ripple donating Greenpeace money to ”change bitcoin code”
April 01, 2022 13:30 - 30 minutes - 69.2 MBGood morning! In this episode I rant a bit as I talk about Ripple donating money Greenpeace to lobby to try to change Bitcoin's code. Regardless of what I think about proof of work vs proof of stake (I like both), it is impossible to just throw money at Bitcoin and tell some people to "just change it". They clearly do not understand how Bitcoin works and how it was designed specifically to counteract this type of activity. So there is a $5 million donation to Greenpeace that could be use...

There is still quite a bit of centralization left over in "decentralized" web 3.0 platforms. Do we really need another layer 1 blockchain? CUDOS says yes! That is because we do not need to think of these blockchains as competing, but as complementing each others in much the same way that cities all have their own unique characteristics and cultures.
