About the Hosts
If you’re interested in the crypto space, The Bad Crypto Podcast is a great place to start. Joel Comm and Travis Wright started the podcast in 2017, the year when bitcoin had its most recent major bull run. They began as friends that used to hang out and talk mostly about politics and technology. Those discussions eventually led them to dive deep down the rabbit-hole of cryptocurrency. One of the things I love about these guys is that they called it the “Bad” crypto podcast because they are totally down-to-earth and unpretentious and aren’t afraid to admit to declare total lack of knowledge about things so they can get ELI5’ed things while their viewers get to listen.
These two self-proclaimed “Bitcoin Bozos” have enjoyed a lot of success with the Bad Crypto Podcast to the point that they’ve become major names in the space. As a result, they are now sought-out as sponsors for blockchain and cryptocurrency projects and they sponsor major events as well.
Lowdown on the Event
On the subject of hosting major events, these Bad Boys of Tech are hosting a major blockchain conference right now! While most conferences are canceling in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, these guys are practicing what they preach by using tech to solve problems. In this case, they are live streaming over multiple platforms over the course of a week to bring up live interviews with the biggest names in the space, including:
That’s just to name a few. They have about 50 speakers lined up overall and all of them are going to be live streaming from home, giving you a chance to see them in their element! The event is called Virtual Blockchain Week and it has already begun. You can attend for free, but there are VIP packages available. The conference has charitable angle as well for people affected by the coronavirus and there are awesome prizes to be won. Doesn’t that sound like a sweet way to spend you evenings in quarantine? I’d say so. So, go check out the site and sign up before it’s over!
