Cryptocurrency. The promise of decentralized money that would bring power back to the people. Just imagine how much good can take place as a result? Unfortunately, anywhere financial gain makes an appearance, people with only their own profit in mind show up to capitalize on it. There’s nothing wrong with making profit. But what if you could do good by helping non-profits prosper in the new crypto world? We’ve invited Alex Wilson and Patrick Duffy from The Giving Block to join us at the mic. They help nonprofits get equipped to accept crypto donations and get them linked up with top projects in the space. We’re also happy to introduce you to Justin Simpson, a community member at a cool new blockchain project called Ergo. This new crypto is mineable, ASIC resistant and making some bold moves. So let’s do good stuff and learn about good blockchains right now on episode #276 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
