Learning about Zero Knowledge Proofs
A young man walks into a bar and says “gimme a vodka tonic”. Unsure of the man’s age, the bartender must ask to see his identification in order to prove he is old enough to drink.
What if the bartender knew from the blockchain that the guy was old enough without even asking for an ID? He would be accepting proof with no knowledge of actually having seen the proof. That’s zero knowledge proof… or ZKP.
Today on the show we welcome Dor Garbash of the Mina Foundation to discuss ZKPs and why they are essential to building a web3 future with privacy and scalability in mind.
By the time we are done, you will have proof that you’ve got some knowledge of zero knowledge proof on episode #668 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Uncovering Capitalism’s Corruption with Raymond Baker
The Western world’s way of capitalism has brought about more prosperity than any other system in the history of man. But there are those who have corrupted the principles of capitalism to benefit themselves without any concern for society in general. It’s that crony capitalism that is a direct threat to real democracy, at least according to our guest today, Raymond Baker. Raymond is author of a new book titled Invisible Trillions, and he has some keen insights into what is broken in today’s financial systems and how to fix it.
Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum may also stop by to share his thoughts on eating crickets and the latest in fashion. It’s the “you vill eat ze bugs and like it” episode #664 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Is HEX Crypto a Scam? with Tom Gillespie
One of the most controversial figures in the crypto world is none other than Richard Heart. A former guest on this show, we found him to be quite likeable and knowledgeable. And yet the question remains, is the HEX token he created a scam? His community of followers, who call themselves Hexicans, would certainly say no. Others are more skeptical.
Film-maker Tom Gillespie has gone down the HEX rabbit hole to learn more about Richard and his community in a new four-part documentary series called Hexicans and the Time Value of Money.
We’ve got Tom with us today to discuss his previous film, this new documentary and other stuff. And maybe some things.
If you love Hex and are south of the border, that makes you a Mexican Hexican. Welcome amigos to episode #661 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Customer Reviews
It’s not the Great Crypto Podcast, but close!
The Bad Crypto Podcast with Joel and Travis is a must-listen for anyone interested in the world of cryptocurrency. Not only is it informative, but it's also incredibly funny and entertaining.
The dynamic between Joel and Travis is great, and their silly humor makes for a refreshing change from the often dry and serious tone of other crypto podcasts. Highly recommend giving it a listen!
This review written by ChatGPT and paraphrased with Quillbot. 🤣
Another Christmasy Review
Well, I stuck around since fall of 2017 so I think I deserve the title of the Virtual Bad Crypto Dame. As an awesomely bad side note my last review of the show was featured in your 2019 Christmas edition episode, the one with your traditional 12 days of Christmas goofy song. It was super nice to hear it with my son while driving around Maui that day.
Оставайся плохим!
Unlistenable now :-(
This used to be a funny, sometimes informative podcast, with 2 guys living the dream in Puerto Rico. Travis’ conspiracy theories used to be sprinkled in and Joel kept things on target, but no longer - this has gone full echo chamber. It’s now a conspiracy podcast with a side of crypto. They admittedly get their news from Twitter, they will retort that people like myself can’t handle their uncovered truths, but I do try. I frequently research their statements but there is never more proof in the conspiracy. I would love for them to find someone on that island with different views and as much idle time - to be on the podcast as a sounding board to keep them in check - that would be an awesome podcast if they could find somebody smart.
