The majority of the massive Silicon Valley social and web tech companies don’t see you as a customer. They see you as a product. Capturing your data and selling it to the highest bidder, you exist to meet their bottom line. The behemoth known as Google, once committed to living to their now-defunct mantra, “Don’t be evil”, couldn’t care less about you.  But what if you could reclaim your privacy, secure your data and be treated with value by one of these companies? We don’t see that happening any time soon from Google, but fortunately there are some brave companies that are bucking the trend and creating solutions that do indeed value you, and even reward you for using their products. One such company is unironically called Brave. And their web browser is the fast, secure and satisfying solution to those who are ready to ditch Google Chrome. Today, we welcome Luke Mulks to the show. Luke is Director of Business Development at Brave, and by the time you are done listening we think you’ll be a Brave fan, as well. It’s time to take back your Internet experience from those who would seek to use and abuse your good will.  Welcome to episode #321 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/321 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunes Google Podcasts: http://badco.in/google Spotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @BadCrypto - @joelcomm - @teedubya Facebook:  /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyaw Facebook Mastermind Group: /BadCrypto LinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubya Instagram: @BadCryptoPodcast Email: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]com Phone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DONATE CRYPTO TO THE SHOW:If you'd like to donate a bit of cryptocurrency to The Bad Crypto Podcast, feel free to send copious amounts to the following locations:  $BTC: Bitcoin: 3GMgCH4dFUHSLdrPnLwEsfKPVnLnoGbzGZ $ETH Ethereum: 0x1ccE8A04fa6743eD1D24cA063c7543D43B42F328 $LTC Litecoin: LavXqTWVHebEgVhBXdg3Hue3xEAmgtxLgr $DOGE Dogecoin:  DMngvNMX1U8Sg8PkDjCC3UTS8Mmn9RqTP5 DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research. Joel Comm and Travis Wright are NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS.

It’s been five years since the Internal Revenue Service has issued any guidance on the tax implications of cryptocurrency. Well, the wait is over. And we’re not sure it was worth the wait. Andreas Antonopolous says that Google’s Quantum supremacy doesn’t affect Bitcoin and Tim Cook says that Apple won’t be making a crypto like Facebook’s Libra. Speaking of Libra, Mark Zuckerberg will soon be testifying before Congress on Facebook’s new coin. And eToro has signed a deal with the UFC. It’s fight club for crypto… just don’t talk about it.
