Covid-19. Lockdowns. Protests. Riots. Murder Hornets. 2020 has just been loads of fun, hasn’t it? Well let’s throw in a massive scheme to steal Bitcoin from people through influential Twitter accounts for good measure. That’s what happened this week and we’ve got the details. A Texas man allegedly used $1.1M in COVID-19 relief funds to buy crypto.  Two crypto promoters were found dead in Mexico. And a Japanese banking giant is planning on launching their own stablecoin in 2020. Finally, the non-fungible token world was shaken again as the Joe Exotic parody set of Garbage Pail Kids sells out in just one hour. It was that bitch Carol Baskin that dun it! We’ve made it halfway through 2020, and we’ve also made it to the 3rd anniversary of Bad Crypto… almost.

If you thought you’d seen all the drama from the US Presidential race that you could handle for the year, 2020 continues its run of surprises as Kanye West and Brock Pierce toss their hats into the ring. Dogecoin makes a surprise run due to one major social app talking about it. And some key indicators could point to Bitcoin being the new “Apple” of investments.  Venezuelan authorities are doing what power-hungry people do, seizing over 300 Bitcoin mining devices from citizens. And a UNICEF crypto fund intends to invest a fat stack of cash in humanitarian blockchain projects.  If I had something funny to say, I’d say it right here. So just tell yourself a joke that makes you laugh, pretend you heard it hear first and let’s fire things up for our Bad News episode #425 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  http://badco.in/425 Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
