    Episode 10 - POS vs POW

    In this episode, we discuss the difference between Proof of Work (POW) and Proof of Stake (POS). POS is when whoever is the richest makes the rules, whereas in crypto, it’s POW, meaning the minors make the rules, and it must stay fair or else everyone will move to minors who are willing to be fairer!

    Episode 7 - How do I get that Crypto?

    In this episode, we discuss the two ways to purchase crypto. The first is custodial, where the 3rd party looks after your crypto for you, such as coinbase.com and blockchain.com.
