We were recommended to have Daniel Garcia join the show to discuss how cryptocurrencies have affected 3d design and virtual worlds. Daniel is the creator of PolygonalMind.com and has a huge passion for design and gaming. We dive into detail into the world of Decentraland and we touch his team’s creation of a virtual escape room. 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.

A Florida judge has ordered that Craig Wright turn over 50% of his Bitcoin and intellectual property from before 2014 to the estate Ira Kleiman. We discuss how this lawsuit is going and what it means for the community supporting BitcoinSV. We also notice the development of new stable currencies, seemingly sprouting at a rate near the 2017 ICO mania. Next we get into the difference between Andrew Yang and all previous candidates and how this candidate encourages a higher voter turnout. Finally we discuss new developments in our game we're designing for Decentraland!

On episode 22, William and Iman discuss how Mr. Wonderful could be misleading people on the value and purpose of cryptocurrency. We go over two videos, one that occurred in may 2019 and another that was uploaded in April 2013. Kevin O’Leary has many positive things to say about Bitcoin but then has a different stance on it 6 years later. Could he really be manipulating people or has he changed his mind on crypto? Then we debate on the value of gold in comparison to Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is more scarce and harder to mine, are we approaching the peak of Gold? There are many developing situations around the globe that could contribute to the demise of humanity, including nuclear war, artificial intelligence, global warming, and an impending financial crisis. We discuss these dangers and how humanity’s resilience can withstand and thrive in a dwindling environment. We also look into the decentralized identity platform called Civic and discuss how decentralized identity could work.

On episode 21, William and Iman discuss the recovery Bitcoin has made in the last week indicating another bull run is apparent. It appears to be on its way to $14k again with not a lot of resistance. The Federal Reserve has cut 25 basis points (0.25%) from interest rates therefore encouraging spending; ultimately increasing the supply of the U.S. dollar. When the supply of the dollar increases the prices of everything goes up which impacts the price of Bitcoin directly. This could contribute to the price of Bitcoin exceeding $100K at its peak in this halvening cycle. What do you do with all the crypto gains you earned in this cycle? We discovered Compound where you can stake your DAI stable coin and earn up to 17% continuously compounding interest.
