E63 S2 - USA Bans Open Source Software?!?
USA Bans Open Source Software?!? Criticism is growing over the modern economic system, with lots of fingers being pointed at the FED, the ECB and the BOE. But what happens whenever a government trying to protect the country’s economy ends up potentially banning all open source software? USA CPI Announcement The US Bureau of Labour of Statistics released CPI data for this month, showing no changes to the total “All item” index. The market has already reacted to the announcement, but will the rise stay for long? US Treasury Sanctions Currency Mixer “Tornado Cash”, Instead Puts Ban on Open-Source Tech On Monday, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned virtual currency mixer Tornado Cash which they have accused of being used to launder more than $7 billion worth of virtual currency. In doing so, OFAC has created a shift in its policy, while also making a move which could potentially impact civil and human rights in the country The Bank of England Interest Rate Rise Last week, The Bank of England’s nine-member policy committee voted 8-1 to raise interest rates by 0.5 percentage points to 1.75 per cent, the biggest increase in 27 years. This was most likely influenced by the FED and ECB taking similarly aggressive steps in interest rate rises, with the latter even injecting billions of euros into highly indebted eurozone countries like Greece, Italy and Spain to keep them afloat.

E53 S2 - Is EU the New China?!?
Is Eu The New China?!? With the bear market in full swing, all eyes are on the regulation being passed worldwide.

US regulators move forward with crypto laws Last week, the Financial Times reported that U.S. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has been communicating with his counterparts at the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in order to promote security and transparency for investors who trade crypto assets.

EU agrees rules to regulate ‘crypto Wild West’ with new regulation The EU Parliament, EU Council and EU Commission have reached provisional agreement to regulate what one of its lawmakers, Ernest Urtasun, termed the ‘crypto Wild West’. An anti-money laundering body is closer to formation following the agreement and EU officials had also reached a provisional political agreement on the Transfer of Funds Regulation, which will oblige crypto-assets service providers (CASPs) in the EU to collect data on transactions with unhosted wallets.

E46 S2 - The Future of Gaming on the Blockchain
The Future of Gaming on the Blockchain The GameFi space is a huge, evolving space that’s constantly innovating as time goes on. Traditional game development studios are seeing the huge amount of investment capital in the space and are looking to see how the blockchain could solve some of the problems they face, or, enhance a players experience. Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go, starting to explore the blockchain Earlier this year, Niantic had met the team behind SpotX Games, a Miami-based company that describes itself as “a web3 innovation studio for the real-world metaverse”. Hanke was taken with SpotX’s work and acquired the studio. “The potential for web3 is to move us back — to a more decentralized version of the internet,” Hanke said. “And to recapture some of that spirit and vision that was there when it started.” Game developer Akatsuki announces $20 million web3 fund Japanese entertainment and gaming firm Akatsuki said on Wednesday that it has raised a $20 million fund focused on investing in web3 projects. The fund, dubbed Emoote, will look to back startups working on projects in GameFi, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse, Akatsuki said in a press release. The name Emoote was chosen to signal that NFT consumption is based on "emotional values," Akatsuki added.

E37 S2 - Blair, Bahamas and Bored Apes
Blair, Bahamas and Bored Apes This week has been hectic in the Crypto-sphere! The inaugural Crypto Bahamas is wrapping up, one of the biggest NFT communities was hacked and one of the biggest wall street fraudsters has become a crypto fanatic. Kevin and Ben take a deep dive into this weekly crypto round-up, as well as take a look at an exclusive statement given by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change in regards to UK’s future in crypto innovation. Crypto Bahamas and Statement from Tony Blair Institute This week, the inaugural Crypto Bahamas presented by FTX and SALT has come to a close. This conference has stirred up a lot of conversations, whether that’s arguments about whether Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were suitable candidates for being speakers at the event to praise to the Bahamas for having friendlier regulations. We read an exclusive statement given to Cryptopulse from the Tony Blair Institue for Global Change in regards to UK’s potential to head DeFi innovation. Revolut CEO eyes expansion into mortgages, crypto wallets Digital banking platform Revolut is working on expanding into decentralized cryptocurrency wallets and is also looking at the mortgage sector, its CEO said, as the London-based company pushes ahead with its strategy to become a so-called "superapp". Revolut, which currently offers payments services, crypto trading, savings accounts and stock trading, is focused in the short-term on expanding its remittance offerings and launching a buy now, pay later product. But the financial technology company has more work to do to become a one-stop-shop for financial services, said CEO Nik Storonsky. A hacker swindled about $3 million in NFTs after infiltrating Bored Ape Yacht Club's social media accounts The Bored Ape Yacht Club's Instagram and Discord accounts were hacked Monday. The attacker seized control of the BAYC Instagram account and sent a phishing post that many followers were fooled into clicking on, connecting their crypto wallets to the hacker’s “smart contract” – a mechanism for implementing a crypto transaction. That enabled the attacker to steal the assets held in the wallets, seizing control of four Bored Apes, as well as a host of other NFTs with an estimated total value of $3m.

Full Statement by Martin Carkett, Policy Lead at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change: “While there is significant debate over how to define, restrict or embrace crypto, the Tony Blair Institute believes that governments need to strike the right balance between appropriate regulation to guard against risks while still fostering progress and innovation. “Crypto and Distributed Ledger Technologies are going to play a defining role in the 21st century and it’s right that the government is aiming to make the UK - which has long- standing strengths in the financial services industry - a global hub for cryptoasset technology and investment. “Bringing stablecoins within regulation, introducing a financial market infrastructure sandbox and a Financial Conduct Authority-led ‘CryptoSprint’ are all sensible approaches. It is particularly encouraging to see that policy makers will be working more closely with industry through a ministerial led engagement group. “The UK is well positioned to get out ahead of other major economies in this space, but it needs to double down on its efforts to ensure it takes this opportunity. For example, the UK needs to move more quickly and decisively on a potential Bank of England Central Bank Digital Currency, on fostering innovation in DeFi as well as cryptoassets and on exploring feasibility and potential benefits of using DLT for sovereign debt instruments.”

E35 S2 - Can Rishi Make the UK Dishy on Crypto?
Can Rishi Make the UK Dishy on Crypto? A few weeks back, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak had set out it’s plans to make the UK a global cryptoasset technology hub. But with the current economic climate the country is facing, and with Rishi being involved in financial scandal himself, what is the governments true intention for wanting to head crypto innovation? UK Stablecoin Regulations On the 4th of April, the UK government announced plans to regulate stablecoins for use in the country as a recognised form of payment. The UK Treasury said “ The government intends to legislate to bring stablecoins – where used as a means of payment – within the payments regulatory perimeter, creating conditions for stablecoin issuers and service providers to operate and invest in the UK”. London’s Growing Job Market London has been confirmed as a world leader in cryptocurrency after a jobs platform revealed the number of global employers currently hunting for staff in the crypto sector. The US, as expected, takes top spot in the amount of crypto vacancies – currently standing at 3,893 – but the UK is catching up fast with the second-highest number of advertised roles. Robinhoods purchase of Ziglu Robinhood said Tuesday it has agreed to buy Ziglu, a London-based fintech app that allows users to trade bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies. The acquisition will help in its expansion plans in the U.K. and Europe, the company said. The announcement comes nearly two years after Robinhood halted plans to launch in the U.K. At the time, the company said it was prioritizing its business at home over international expansion.

EP33 S2 - Cops vs Crypto
Cops vs CryptoWith any innovation, there are both intended and unintended uses. With crypto becoming more mainstream, it’s appeal to criminals becomes more mainstream as well. This begs the question; How do the authorities ACTUALLY liquidate seized digital currencies? Ben and Kevin explore some of the stats behind UK and US crypto seizures, give their opinions on Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter, as well as seeing what’s happening this week in the “Weird World of Crypto”. Crypto Seizures: UK & US statistics and processHow do authorities seize crypto whenever things start to go awry? How much crypto was seized last year? And what’s the difference between the US and UK system? At the start of todays show, we answer all of these questions and more! Elon Musk Offers to Buy TwitterIt was only a couple of weeks prior that Elon Musk bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter and was offered to sit on the board of directors, but Mr Musk declined, making a lot of people wonder what his true intentions really were. Now, he’s offered to buy 100% of the company outright, saying he is the right person to "unlock" the social media platform's "extraordinary potential". LGB Coin Lawsuit, Alleged “pump-and-dump” SchemeLast year, the crypto coin LGB entered the market, with the acronym standing for “Lets Go Brandon”. This term is primarily used by Republican supporters in the US as a tongue-and-cheek way of showing there distaste towards President Joe Biden. Now, the LGB coin has gotten itself into some deep water with the company who made the coin being served a class action lawsuit that alleges its creators and several others have misleadingly promoted the cryptocurrency asset in order to artificially inflate its value before selling their portions for personal gain. Weird World of Crypto: Zuck BucksMeta—the parent company that owns Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram—is exploring a new digital currency according to a recent report by the Financial Times. The plans come just three years after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerburg tried to launch a cryptocurrency named ‘Libra’, later renamed to ‘Diem’, which subsequently shut down following opposition from policy-makers.

The Humanitarian Need for Bitcoin Crypto has been playing a big part in the war between Russia and Ukraine, not only in helping the Ukrainian government, but the Ukrainian migrants trying to flee the country as well. With money being easier to move across the world than ever before, how will this technology advance to help others truly in need gain financial sovereignty? Ukrainian refugee flees to Poland with $2,000 in bitcoin on a USB drive Ben and Kevin discuss an amazing article written by MacKenzie Sigalos as she follows a 20 year old Ukranian refugee fleeing from Lviv to Poland and how having a crypto wallet ensured he had a roof over his head and food for him and his family. ASA continues clampdown on misleading and irresponsible crypto ads in the UK The Advertising Standards Authority in the UK has issued enforcement notices to over 50 crypto based companies for misleading advertisements.

The UK treasury will make payments to Bank of England for the first time to cover losses from the governments quantitative easing plan The U.K. Treasury will make payments to the Bank of England for the first time to cover losses from the institution’s quantitative easing plan, according to the nation’s fiscal watchdog. The forecasts, if realized, would mark a historic moment for the U.K. and may prove politically tricky for the Treasury. It could force the government to either earmark future taxpayer funds away from other projects to compensate the central bank or increase borrowing to cover the cost.

EP27 S2 - Inflation vs Bitcoin: The Ultimate Showdown
Inflation vs Bitcoin: The Ultimate ShowdownThe crypto-sphere is currently being bombarded with economic scare after economic scare but seems to be staying strong. How will these new interest rates hikes introduced by the Fed affect the current market? Inflation, Past and PresentRecent hikes in interest rates introduced by the Fed and the Bank of England have put the crypto market in an interesting place. What can we learn from previous inflation hikes that have happened in the past and how does this current economic climate bode for the market as a whole? Weird World of CryptoThis new segment explores the weird, whacky and downright baffling crypto related news of the week. LimeWire, our favourite torrenting software from the naughties is back, but not as you knew it! It’s been re-branded as an NFT platform for music related digital assets, will be as big of a hit as it was all those years ago? And celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo is taking his first step into the video game and NFT space with his new “metaverse” video game “Big Town Chef”. Will it be a boom or bust? Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky just signed a law to give crypto “regulatory structureA month ago, Ukraine’s parliament passed a bill to “legalize” cryptocurrency, preparing a framework for the regulation and management of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Now, the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has signed into law that bill, named “On Virtual Assets,” which establishes a legal framework for the country to operate a regulated crypto market. Crypto exchanges and firms handling digital assets will now be required to register with the government to operate legally in Ukraine, and banks will be allowed to open accounts for crypto firms.

EP26 S2 - Will The EU Ban Bitcoin?
Will The EU Ban Bitcoin? We may be coiling up for an aggressive move for bitcoin, but in what direction do we envision it swaying? With crypto bills such as MiCA heading for negotiations, fear has arisen over the potential for the EU to vote on banning bitcoin. We discuss all you need to know about the regulations and price movement, but also reminisce over the worst crypto’s we have ever held, and what we learnt from this! Bitcoin Price Action As we continue to gravitate towards the 39K point, both bears and bulls are out in equal force with buyers and sellers becoming evenly matched. Continually we are moving sideways, but in which direction will the big move take place over the next coming days? The Worst Crypto’s We Have Ever Held! Back in 2017, Patientory (PTOY) token hit the market. Solving a multi-billion dollar problem in the US, and with an intelligent founder behind it, this seemed like a good idea. However, as soon as Ben bought this token it dropped drastically, within just 8 weeks. Next up is Bitcoin Private (BTCP), which Kevin still holds today! Picked up on Twitter after some hype, Kevin & Ben attended events and even met Didi Taihuttu here, a previous guest on our podcast. So, what was learnt from these experiences? Well, something may have a good idea and team behind it, but this doesn’t always mean it will be successful! Once the hype is gone, many projects find it very difficult to level up to that initial engagement they had received again. People generally move on to the next big thing! EU Vote On The MiCA Bill The MiCA legislation aims to provide a regulatory framework for digital assets for member states in the EU by 2025. On Monday, the European Parliament voted not to ban proof-of-work-based digital currencies. Proof of work is a decentralized consensus that requires members of a network to solve a complex mathematical puzzle. This means that networks are secure and reliable, and the power is very decentralized and difficult to hack: One of the main reasons why the EU is focusing on it as an issue. Bitcoin’s Energy Output With the media using Bitcoin’s energy consumption as the hot topic across many outlets, what are our thoughts on weighing up the benefits and solutions available? Not having bitcoin at all may be a greater disaster. It has been essential for people frozen outside of economics; with examples including Ukraine, Canada, and countries where fiat currencies are devalued: For many, bitcoin is a safe haven. “ The utility of the exchanges made possible by bitcoin will far exceed the cost of electricity used. Therefore, not having bitcoin would be a net waste.” - Satoshi Nakamoto What we cover in this episode - Bitcoin price action - The worst crypto’s we have ever held! - The EU MiCA Bill - Bitcoin’s energy output Ways to connect with Cryptopulse Twitter: https://twitter.com/crypto_pulse Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crypto_pulse LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cryptopulse Website: http://www.cryptopulse.co.uk Ways to connect with Kevin and Ben Kevin Twitter: https://twitter.com/KevinBasham Ben Twitter: https://twitter.com/bdrsquared Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe so you can be notified when we release a new episode.

EP25 S2 - Why Is War Pumping Wheat?
Why Is War Pumping Wheat? With the crypto market being spooked from the situation taking place between Ukraine and Russia, we are seeing a bit of a waiting game across the space. Bitcoin has been down nearly 40% from its highs last year, and one of the biggest winners recently has been gold! Why Gold Is Rallying Is Bitcoin behaving more like a risk asset? Gold has rallied throughout this tricky macro backdrop; suggesting that investors are still looking at gold as the safe haven during these uncertain times. We discuss whether Bitcoin will have its day again with some monumental runs, or whether the golden years are over? Joe Biden’s Executive Order In other major news this week, Joe Biden’s executive order is on the way. The Whitehouse is looking to move some of the regulatory bodies quickly on the regulation of crypto and digital assets. Everything from Bitcoin to Ethereum, and all other tokens will be impacted by this order, which may push people to dump ahead of the freeze. The Russia & Ukraine War With sanctions being placed on Russia and the potential banning of buying Russian oil taking its toll, the market has been spooked by the rise in prices. The sanctions that have been put forward so far have been serious, but at what point do Russia stop providing the energy that the west needs, and how will this impact crypto? Ukraine has also seen some huge crypto donations to help during these uncertain times, with millions to fund anything from military supplies to food packages. The great benefit linked to crypto has included the speed of these transactions, being done directly and almost instantly. The Threat Of China & Taiwan Added to that, we have the potential war between China and Taiwan. This is thought to negatively impact microchip output globally. With many companies relying heavily on the production of these products, it could be a bad couple of years for large tech businesses, with stock prices reflecting that.

EP22 S2 - Did this Tik Tok Rapper really steal $4.5bn??
Crucial Market Update In this week's episode, we bring you an important market update as Russia’s war fears cause more uncertainty in both the crypto market and other financial markets. Both Bitcoin and the SMP 500 are down this week which could take a while to recover whilst the events in Russia and Ukraine unfold. One positive is that all the indicators suggest Bitcoin is oversold and due a large bounce in the future, although it’s impossible to ignore the macro factors that are causing traders to panic sell. The Bizzare Bitfinex Hack We also discuss this week's major news story where the culprits of the famous 2016 Bitfinex hack have finally been caught. A seemingly normal couple, who now have $4.5 billion worth of Bitcoin from the hack have been arrested after police found the private keys to the lost Bitcoin. The couple included Heather Morgan, a consultant and TikTok rapper and Ilya Lichtenstein who seemed to be living normal lives although it’s safe to say the arrest proved to ve very strange after police found a hallowed out book with a USB stick labelled ‘private keys’ in their house… We talk more about this during the episode and why it is an important reminder to manage your own security. What we cover in this episode - The effect Russia is having on crypto - Current market update - The importance of risk management - The famous Bitfinex Hack - Who were the culprits behind the hack - The importance of managing the security of your digital assets Things We Mention in The Show Documenting BTC Twitter - https://twitter.com/DocumentingBTC Ways to connect with Cryptopulse Twitter: https://twitter.com/crypto_pulse Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crypto_pulse LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cryptopulse Website: http://www.cryptopulse.co.uk Ways to connect with Kevin and Ben Kevin Twitter: https://twitter.com/KevinBasham Ben Twitter: https://twitter.com/bdrsquared Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe so you can be notified when we release a new episode.

EP21 S2 - Super Bowl Ads Pump Crypto and Why War With Russia Is Bad for Bitcoin
Is Crypto the Big Winner at This Year's Super Bowl? Coinbase, FTX and Crypto.com were among the companies that shelled out $6.5 million dollars per 30 seconds of ad time at the recent Super Bowl. It is certainly the hot topic in the crypto space at the moment with some ads performing better than others. We discuss what this means for the crypto industry along with what the ads included and Coinbase’s inexcusable crash. Are Russia and Ukraine Impacting the Crypto Market? The ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine have hit a breaking point in recent weeks, but is this having an effect on the crypto market? We answer this question during the episode and outline why the hugely worrying nature of the tension could be causing a sell-off and for people to lose confidence in risk assets. Is It Still a Good Time To Buy? Despite political tensions causing some panic in the markets, the indicators are still indicating Bitcoin is oversold suggesting now is still a fairly good time to buy. Bitcoin is currently sitting at a $44k resistance and if it can breakthrough we could see some more moves to the upside in the near future. Another potential reason the market is in a strong position is Canadians looking to invest in decentralised assets to stop the risks of the government suspending people's bank accounts if they protest against the vaccine mandate. What we cover in this episode - Crypto Super Bowl ads - The unforgivable Coinbase crash - The impact Russia and Ukraine are having on the Crypto market - Is it a good time to buy or sell? - The Canadian government’s announcement they will seize protesters funds - Are Canadians now more likely to invest in decentralised assets?

EP18 S2 - Is Biden about to kill Bitcoin?
Market Update - Calm Before The Storm? It’s been a quiet week for Bitcoin, with little price action movement since the slight recovery after last week's big dump. We discuss whether this is a good sign and why selling pressure easing off could result in a price increase in the near future. Is Russia Banning Bitcoin? It’s been a confusing week regarding Russia’s stance on Bitcoin, with the Central Bank of Russia proposing to completely ban crypto mining and trading only for this to later be rejected in favour of more regulations. We tell you everything you need to know about this topic and why it’s important for the crypto industry. Will We Have to Pay More Taxes On Crypto? In what could be a significant announcement in Bitcoin’s history, president Biden announced that new rules and regulations for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are coming soon. One of these is to raise tax on crypto, claiming to be due to their high-risk nature and the fact that there is an argument cryptocurrencies are bad for the environment. We argue the case that they are not as bad as the environment as the news suggests in episode 7 of the podcast which you can listen to HERE. What we cover in this episode - Market update after a quiet week for Bitcoin’s price action - Where the market could be headed next - Are Russia banning Bitcoin or not? - President Biden’s announcement that more crypto regulations are coming - Is the tax on cryptocurrencies going to increase? - Should governments be able to regulate crypto?

EP17 S2 - Critical Market Update & NFTs for 2022
Update On The Latest Crypto Dump It’s safe to say it has not been a good few days in the crypto space, with Bitcoin falling more to reach the lowest level in months. This is mainly due to worrying recent announcements about interest rates and inflation that are causing people to sell their risk assets. In this episode, we discuss what caused the latest Bitcoin dump and why all is not lost, with a potential relief rally expected in the near future. We also chat about why it’s important to look at the macro elements of the financial market and why the S&P 500 and NASDAQ can be helpful to identify the state of the market. Understanding Charts We have got a lot of questions recently about how to get into chart reading and analysis so we thought we’d dive into how we look at charts and discuss TradingView, a brilliant trading platform that allows you to build watch lists and see price action in real-time. You can create a free account using this link https://www.tradingview.com/ Are NFTs Here to Stay? Lastly, we discuss what NFTs we are a fan of including Wow Pixies, a women led project with the vision “to lift up and help bring Women led projects to the forefront”. We also make a case for why we think NFTs are here to stay and have a major advantage of not facing issues like financial regulations that cryptocurrencies face. What we cover in this episode - What caused the latest Bitcoin dump? - Where the market is likely to head next - S&P 500 and NASDAQ and why they affect Bitcoin - TradinView and how to get into reading and analysing charts - Wow Pixies NFTs - Why NFTs are here for the long term Things We Mention In The Show S&P 500 - https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/SPX/ NASDAQ - https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-NDX/ Wow Pixies - https://twitter.com/WoWPixiesNFT Ways to connect with Cryptopulse Twitter: https://twitter.com/crypto_pulse Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crypto_pulse LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cryptopulse Website: http://www.cryptopulse.co.uk Ways to connect with Kevin and Ben Kevin Basham Twitter: https://twitter.com/KevinBasham Ben Rees Twitter: https://twitter.com/bdrsquared Thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe so you can be notified when we release a new episode.

This includes macro analysis of Bitcoin, on-chain, fear to greed index and dormancy flow. Despite the analysis looking promising, we also discuss the importance of implementing a risk management strategy, only investing what you can afford to lose and having patience when investing. Is it Time to Buy or Sell? There are some strong indicators that are suggesting it is a great time to buy, the market is in extreme fear, the on-chain hash rate has been hitting new all-time highs and the dormancy flow level is suggesting the market is about to or has bottomed out. This all indicates now could be a good time to buy but as always, we recommend dollar-cost averaging in and making sure you manage your own risk tolerance.

EP15 S2 - Own a piece of Crypto Island! With Dan Bouwer
Own a Piece of Crypto Island! With Dan Bouwer Crypto Island Crypto Island is a community based project with the goal of buying an island with crypto and tokenising it so anyone can co-own a real private island in the Bahamas. They are using a DAO to fund and govern the island so all the decisions and events can be decided by the community rather than a business hierarchy. This innovative idea means that the Island will be largely decentralised which gives the community full transparency and as much power and involvement in decision making as possible. How You Can Get Involved The DAO is now officially live and Crypto Island are holding a crypto crowdfunding campaign for 100 days. Once the 100 days are up that’s it so if you want to get involved don’t hesitate or you will miss out! People can use Etherium to contribute to the DAO and the more you buy the more voting power and benefits you get. For evey 1 Etherium you contribute you get 1 million palm tree tokens, which act as voting power and you will also get an NFT depending on how much you buy. You can get involved in the project via the link https://dao.cryptoisland.com/ What The Future Has in Store for Crypto Island There is no doubt this is a very exciting project and it’s likely there will be a huge demand of people wanting to get involved, but what is the overall mission?

EP14 S2 - Jack Dorsey & the BIG Bitcoin Bounce?
Market Update - Is a Bounce On Its Way? The market has been moving sideways for some time now and the fear to greed indicator has been constantly at the extreme fear level for weeks. But is the next move for Bitcoin likely to be down below $40k or are we due a relief rally in the coming months? We reveal what we believe could be on the horizon for Bitcoin and why the indicators are pointing towards a bounce in the near future. Bitcoin Developers Legal Trouble One thing featuring in the news currently is constant legal cases being raised against Bitcoin developers, despite not always being clear why. The lawsuits have been growing in number in recent months although Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has created a fund to be used to help Bitcoin developers get legal aid if legal cases are filed against them. DAOs DAOs are decentralized autonomous organizations that aren’t governed by a hierarchy and instead, the rules of each DAO are coded on the blockchain allowing for complete transparency with the way they are run. In this episode, we talk you through this latest crypto trend and discuss Spice Dao, who paid nearly $3million for the novel Dune believing they had bought the rights to all the book’s content. They were eventually told all they had bought was a 1st edition copy of the book and not the rights which has dominated the crypto news over the last couple of days.

Bitcoin City, El Salvador & The war against inflation El Salvador El Salvador and president Nayib Bukele have certainly been leading the way in the adoption of Bitcoin, with a few major decisions over the past 6 months. The first was the decision to make Bitcoin a legal tender, followed by opening a huge Bitcoin mining centre that uses geothermal energy created by the Conchagua volcano. These were two major breakthrough announcements although Nayib Bukele did not want to stop there and recently announced that a new Bitcoin City will be built starting in 2022 that is funded only by Cryptocurrency. The city will be in the shape of a coin and will be built on the base of the volcano and include both residential and commercial areas including schools, museums and restaurants. Inflation Did you know inflation has soared to the highest point in a decade? Inflation can be defined as the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time and it has become a huge problem for consumers as huge volumes of printed money over the last 2 years have led to the devaluing of world currencies. This leaves you getting a lot less for your money than you did a few years ago. There are ways people can counter inflation, including negotiating a salary increase and investing more in hard assets instead of storing savings in world currencies. In this episode, we cover everything you need to know about inflation, how it is calculated and ways you can hedge against it.

EP01 S2 - Season 2 of Cryptopulse Launch
Introducing series 2 Welcome back! It’s been a while but we are back with the launch of season 2. It’s an exciting time in the world of crypto as we get to the business end of the market cycle (more on this to come). A lot has changed since we finished series 1 back in 2019 so we decided to launch series 2 to discuss all the latest trends and interesting things happening in the crypto space. What we cover in this episode We discuss the topics we want to cover most during season 2 including market cycles, macroeconomics, NFTs, decentralization and why crypto has become more important than ever. We also cover why there is so much more to crypto trading than being told what coin will 100x next. We will help inform and educate you over series 2 so you have the knowledge you need to make important decisions when trading cryptocurrencies.
