Crypto Hipster's Mysticals compilations that cover Season 4 and Season 5 are far more than just a catchy-named compilation.

This theme is based on "human" issues, which include societal, mindset, social opportunities, and personal growth and development. Of course, they also focus on solving industry and technological problems that we all face in our everyday lives or will face soon. Bitcoin is officially considered the first ever Layer One blockchain. ...

When engaging in conversations with founders, entrepreneurs, and artists about the potential of NFTs and the metaverse, much of the focus is on what blockchain technology can do.

In this book, we examine the potential of building equitable futures for all, gardening and creativity, smart rings using microbes, and using creative minds and empowering mindsets to overcome loss and build for the future. Technology and ...

I have titled the thirteenth compilation for Crypto Hipster's Chronicles, Episode 13, "Traveling Through Space and Time", and that episode I have now converted into this book. Traveling into space is not a new desire or dream. It has existed ever since man first crushed grapes. With new technologies, the evolution of SpaceX, and investments by Elon Musk and others, galactic missions are now more possible than ever. So is the use of electric vehicles to help improve humanity's carbon footprint. The four interviews in this book explore what is possible with solving Earth's issues by solving ...

According to an August 3, 2022 CNBC report, Ilya Lichtenstein told a U.S. court he was the individual behind an exploit of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex in 2016 which resulted in the theft of roughly 119,754 Bitcoin. Prosecutors had previously charged Lichtenstein and his wife, Heather Morgan, with money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Shortly after the couple’s arrest in February 2022, I interviewed one guest in this book on my Crypto Hipster Podcast, Justin Choo of Cabital. We discussed the arrest and security measures that exchanges can put into place to help...

The interviews contained within this book span three Crypto Hipster Podcast seasons. From the beginning of Season One today, the role of the media covering the crypto industry has shifted. In its early days, crypto was largely associated with illegal activities like drug trafficking and money laundering. To an extent, some politicians and banking executives want you to continue to think that because of their own self-interest. The media highlighted these activities and painted a negative picture of the crypto space. Over the years, the media's understanding of the crypto industry has grown ...

Blockchain and crypto, more recently referred to as Web Three, are truly global phenomena. Every country across the world views blockchain differently. Some countries, like the United States, prefer to allow rogue government agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission to stymie financial innovations. Other countries, like El Salvador, recognize Bitcoin is the future and take proactive steps to ensure a wealthy future for its citizens. China focuses on innovation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), while some nations across the planet see XRP, Litecoin, and Ethereum as the ...

During my over six years in the cryptocurrency, digital asset, and blockchain industry, I have accomplished a variety of things in the blockchain space, including authoring this book and hosting over 230 podcasts. My Crypto Hipster podcasts (anchor.fm/crypto-hipster-podcast) differ from post other cryptocurrency podcasts. While the top venture capital studios focused on price and market action of Bitcoin, alternative coins, NFTs and metaverses, I focused on something else: The long-term societal and personal benefits of blockchain technology use cases, globally. I then compiled three to ...

Throughout the last fourteen years, since the early days of Bitcoin, crypto has seen its fair share of critics. Some of them do not understand the value of cryptographic security, the importance of data collection or digital receipts, or the need for like-minded communities to bring value to one another. The crypto industry continues to see its fair share of major problems, including centralized exchange implosions like FTX, or other events such as rug pulls, theft, off-chain exploits, and scams. But these exist in all industries, especially in traditional finance. For those who wish to ...

At the height of the 2021-2022 Non-Fungible Token (NFT) craze, digital art, collectibles, and memberships to exclusive communities were selling at multi-million-dollar premiums. The world was graced by digital art collections, including CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Pudgy Penguins, World of Women, Doodles, and many other unique offerings. While digital art and memberships were notable and hyped to the moon, perhaps the greatest long-term technological innovation was not hyped at all. This useful breakthrough was the ability for creators and collectors to earn royalties, something that ...
