Whether flipping through reels on Instagram, the vacuous communist hellhole known as Tik-Tok, or swiping left or right for dates on Tinder, how you swipe determines your choice.  Today we welcome one of the founders of Tinder and Bumble to the show to discuss how those apps have impacted our society, as well as to introduce a new Web3 social app designed to empower users.

How were your relationships impacted at the time?  10:00 - There are certainly critics out there that would say Tinder, Bumble and the apps of that nature have killed romance because people don’t have a chance to meet organically anymore.

Maybe there are other places for that, like eHarmony.  17:50 - When did you discover the crypto, blockchain, web3 world?  19:15 - Let’s talk about what you’re working on now: Niche.  22:00 - What do I see when I join Niche?  22:40 - How is Niche different from Discord?  23:55 - What do you hope to bring to Niche from your experience with the dating apps that is going to make the platform stand out from the competition?  26:30 - How do I create the Puerto Rico crypto group on Niche?

It’s a great day for the social media world as Elon Musk fires top Twitter execs and promises big changes. And just when you think it can’t get any better, Zuckerberg’s Meta is deep in the hole and so-called pundit Jim Cramer apologizes for issuing a buy signal months ago. However, another big tech company is being greedy and controlling when it comes to NFTs. If you are a Cash app user, Bitcoin Lightning is a thing.  In short, Twitter good, Meta bad, Cash good, Apple bad.
