Burn rekt tokens to gain a voice in crypto -- with DestroyerDAO Mar 13, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and today I'm joined by the creator of DestroyerDAO.

You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, YouTube and via RSS.

The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying.

In this episode of Ledger Cast, I talk to the creators of DestroyerDAO -- an ambitious project aimed at destroying "shitcoins" with... a shitcoin.

If you're not familiar with DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) or Proof of Burn, then we dig into these concepts, as well as how they intend to use this project to better the broader crypto community.

Links and notes

We talk about the merits of Proof of Burn, DAOs, and potential for DestroyerDAO. It seems like they are looking for traction based off of the meme around burning "shitcoins" but really have a larger aim in helping legitimate projects.

I'm really interested for several reasons. For one, to see if a DAO can work. Second, to see if it can establish the desired incentives to encourage people to actually burn tokens from one project in receipt of DestroyerDAO tokens -- when the only stated purpose of those tokens is to have a say in the community.

I enjoyed this conversation and think you may too.

Screening cryptocurrency and blockchain projects by fundamentals, with Tor Bair Jan 24, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and in this episode I'm joined by special guest Tor Bair -- a long time cryptocurrency investor, and Head of Growth and Marketing at Enigma. We touch on Enigma in this episode but we spend more time discussing how to look for projects with good fundamentals more broadly.

You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, on Google Play, on Stitcher, on YouTube and via RSS.

The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying.

Tor was introduced to bitcoin while he was an options trader, and then got further into the ecosystem as a graduate student at MIT, where he eventually met the team that co-founded Enigma. Today, he does growth and marketing at Enigma, but he brings a wealth of knowledge to the space, and fortunately for us today, this podcast.

We talk about some thing to consider when screen projects, from team to token utility, and much more. I hope you enjoy.

How Hxro Gamified Crypto Trading Jan 10, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Ledger Cast, hosted by me, Brian Krogsgard (@ledgerstatus on twitter), and in this episode I'm joined by two special guests, Dan Gunsberg and Rob Levy -- two of the co-founders of Hxro, a gamified crypto trading platform.

You can subscribe to new episodes of Ledger Cast on iTunes, on Google Play, on Stitcher, on YouTube and via RSS.

The information in this podcast should not be construed as investment advice, it is purely educational material and you should always do your own research before buying.

When I first came upon Hxro, I was skeptical of what gamified trading meant. Then I tried it, and I've been hooked. It's like if you blend DFS or poker into cryptocurrency trading and takes the whole experience to another level of trading and psychological challenge. It's really unique and I wanted to bring on the co-founders of Hxro to talk about it.

In this episode, Dan Gunsberg and Rob Levy chat with me about what they've built, what they're planning for the future, and more. They have a deep history in traditional markets and I think they likely have a hit on their hands with Hxro.
