Episode 86: New Crypto Laws and HBAR

This episode is lit! We talk about the new crypto laws that are going to get enforced, one of the hottest altcoins—Hedera Hashgraph, the future of bitcoin in the halvening, and cars.

In News Break, we discuss the new crypto laws that will be enforced on May 1st in Japan. The Japanese House of Representatives passed two legislations last year to regulate crypto which was supposed to take effect in April. These laws are the Payment Services Act (PSA) and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). We weigh in on this development in this segment.

For Token Time, we talk about Hedera Hashgraph or the ticker HBAR which is being used by large companies like Boeing, IBM, and Google. We also talk about the difference between altcoins and utility token. If you want to know our strategy in doing research before investing, we share our best practices in this segment.

In Whatcha Thinkin, we answer Shane's question: Mr. Kristoff on one of his YouTube videos said that the institutions are going to bet against bitcoin in the halvening, therefore it's gonna drive the price down. What are your feelings on that?

You too have the opportunity to ask us a question (and become a Beards & Bitcoins Celebrity) by sending us an audio message at ask.beards.live

For Manspreading, we passionately talk about Muscle Cars—Mustang, Fire Bird, Hellcat, Trans Am, Dodge Challenger, and more. We also share our very own picks. Time Stamps of Segments 07:00 News Break 17:48 Token Time 26:49 Whatcha Thinkin (New Segment!) 33:33 Manspreading
