E52 - Micah Fraim On How To Navigate Crypto Taxes Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

There’s really nothing exciting about taxes but that’s only if you’re thinking of them in the context of tradfi or traditional finance or even the way we’ve thought about them for seemingly well . . . forever. Although, in crypto taxes are different. This is because in crypto, NFTs and DeFi or decentralized finance - there is a lot of volatility in prices, unreal interest yields and just generally little to no regulatory frameworks passed down by the government on how we should go about filing crypto, NFT and DeFi related tax events. This is all the more reason why I was super excited to chat with my guest today - Micah Fraim. Micah runs a CPA firm that specializes in crypto tax support and has a portfolio of clients that will likely continue to grow with crypto’s long term forecasted mass adoption rates. Micah is an author of crypto tax related books and, as he says on this episode, is one of the earliest leaders in a space where more and more CPAs and tax specialists are diving in to understand how to tax crypto, NFTs, defi and more blockchain related products. On this episode, let’s decrypt crypto taxes with Micah Fraim.

E51 - QuickPod | If This Podcast Survives 2023, It Will Be Huge In 2024 Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

2023 will be a zombie year for crypto. It will be full of sideways price action, low morale, and an overall not very exciting space. On this episode, we explore how if this podcast can weather the depths of the crypto winter, in what I refer to as a zombie year, then this podcast will be primed and ready to make a splash in 2024.

E47 - QuickPod | Why Social Media Will Adopt Crypto Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Which current social media network will be the last to adopt a digital in-app wallet? I’m betting it’s the one that won’t make it to 2030 and that's just a hunch. By 2025, I think all of the big social media apps used around the world will likely have crypto wallets built into or linked to a third party account. It will start with Twitter and before you know it, voila crypto will be tied into the functionality of many, if not all, social networks. I know this sounds crazy but it’s already underway . . .

E45 - Norman Gabula On Barefoot Networking At ETH Safari In Kenya Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Like any other industry, web3 and crypto has its fair share of conferences. You know the ones with panel discussions, keynote speakers, SWAG, company booths, sponsorship branding everywhere and well you get the picture. And while I have not admittedly attended a web3 or crypto specific conference yet, I've been told by fellow web3 and crypto community members, including even guests who've joined this podcast, that there are a lot less suits and a lot more experiences that you might not expect at "professional" gathering with high ticket attendance prices. And to build on this notion of unique and curated experiences, this episode’s guest, Norman Gabula, will share all about his involvement in helping to create and then executing ETH Safari’s inaugural web3 conference in Kenya. ETH Safari, as Norman shares, is a web3 conference held in Kenya that brings in attendees from more than 40 countries to discuss how web3, crypto, NFTs, blockchain and more will continue to shape not just Kenya or Eastern Africa as a region but the continent of Africa and beyond. Norman also shares his own story of choosing to work on ETH Safari as a Volunteer over a paid gig in his more traditional professional legal path as a lawyer. It’s a story that will resonate with many who’ve decide to take the road less traveled and ended up in the global community of web3 and crypto.

E44 - Crypto Philanthropy With Pietro Moran From The Giving Block Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

As cryptocurrency grows in its global adoption, it will continue to fuel a new world of possibilities. Currently cryptocurrency is being used to facilitate cross border payments, remittances, tuition fees, bitcoin backed mortgages for real estate, it's how some are paying their bills, even their taxes and it's also becoming a growing medium through which we support the causes we care about under what's known as crypto philanthropy. Crypto philanthropy is opening up new opportunities for nonprofits and my guest today, Pietro Moran, works for The Giving Block which is an organization at the forefront of providing 501c3s with crypto solutions. At The Giving Block, Pietro serves as Director of Crypto Partnerships and truly has his finger on the pulse of crypto philanthropy, as you'll hear throughout this episode. While many non profit supporters donate with cash, checks, wire transfers and stocks, the demand is growing within the nonprofit sector to not only accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum but to understand the crypto donor of tomorrow, as they increasingly make up a larger part of the donor profile of the future.
