MORTY$ & Memecoins Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

Today Mark joins friend of the show Jared Moore to discuss memecoins, including MORTY$ a memecoin on EOS that's blowing up. Jared’s partners in crime, Bryan and Kurt, have collectively helped mine over 1% of all total BTC, while working on everything from decentralized email (dmail) to EOS games & apps. In this episode, we’ll discuss the MORTYS token, a currency developed to bribe, without ever necessarily being converted to fiat currency. Their project aims to celebrate their insane fandom of Rick and Morty and brashly piggy-back on the cryptocurrency shills, while create and curating a greasy decentralized community.

Look out for MORTY$ giveaways from the @Cryptoconomy_ twitter or join the @MortysToken telegram group to get bribed.

Show notes

Kory Hoang is the CEO of Stably (USDS), a regulated and transparent Stable coin hoping to take on the current market leader, Tether. Stably makes transacting in cryptocurrencies more palatable by eliminating their inherent volatility in respect to the dollar. By making StableUSD redeemable and pegged 1-to-1 with US dollars, Stably can virtually eliminate volatility while still retaining many useful characteristics of a cryptocurrency - including fast transaction speed, anonymity, and immutability. Can cryptos mimmic a central banking system? Will stable coins facilitate a new age of remittance on the blockchain? Can users keep cash reserves stable while they get exposure to crypto? https://www.stably.io/ https://www.facebook.com/stablycoin https://twitter.com/stablycoin https://www.instagram.com/stableusd/
