It seems a week doesn't go by that we don't hear about someone in the crypto space losing their crypto or NFTs to scammers, hackers and other ne'er do wells. Back in 2017 we talked about how Travis got hacked and almost lost his cryptos. Kevin Rose lost $1,000,000 in NFTs in a wallet draining attack just last month. And now it's finally happened. I got phished.  It was an incredibly stupid mistake that could have and should have been avoided. But it's what happened subsequently that I find the most disturbing. Most of all, it's proof that it can happen to absolutely anyone. Today we talk about how you can protect yourself through technology and hyper awareness. On our Joel doesn't meet Trey Anastasio but still gets phished. Episode number 670. Of the Bad Crypto podcast.

The thing about stablecoins is that they are designed to be stable.  When all else fails in the crypto market, $1 should equal $1.  That is, until they don’t. Like if you are Do Kwon and your UST collapses by pegging your currency to an overleveraged crypto. Or, until the SEC gets involved and brings instability to the space.  Crypto staking is also in the sights of the government as rumors circle about circle’s USDC.  Is Coinbase ready for a battle?  And Senator Cruz may be on to something as he proposes vending machines in the Capital building that take crypto as payment. We like snacks. And we like you. Thanks for joining us for our Stablecoin Crackdown episode #668 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
