One of the most controversial figures in the crypto world is none other than Richard Heart. A former guest on this show, we found him to be quite likeable and knowledgeable. And yet the question remains, is the HEX token he created a scam? His community of followers, who call themselves Hexicans, would certainly say no. Others are more skeptical. Film-maker Tom Gillespie has gone down the HEX rabbit hole to learn more about Richard and his community in a new four-part documentary series called Hexicans and the Time Value of Money. We’ve got Tom with us today to discuss his previous film, this new documentary and other stuff. And maybe some things. If you love Hex and are south of the border, that makes you a Mexican Hexican. Welcome amigos to episode #661 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. FULL SHOW NOTES: https://badco.in/661 00:00 - Intro 07:30 - Do we have to pay to watch the Fakefluencer movie? 09:45 - You’ve written for mainstream media publications. What are your thoughts on mainstream media outlets? 12:30 - We’ve had Richard Heart on the show. Tell us about your HEX documentary series. 18:30 - The Hexicans voted for the investigation into HEX beginning July 2020. 20:20 - If you search anything online HEX scam related, you will immediately be presented with Hexican content. They’ve figured out a way to actually hijack the scam narrative to their advantage. 24:11 - I went into this primarily from the perspective of the Hexicans. I have never definitively said this is a scam. 28:30 - The cult aspect of supporting cryptocurrencies. 33:20 - Which coin - Solana, XRP, USDT - is leading the community vote for your next investigation at cryptoscamdemic.com? 38:00 - The documentary on HEX is scheduled for release soon.

Twitter executives were actively censoring users on the platform, directly interfering with First Amendment rights. Jack Dorsey lied before Congress, knowing Twitter users were being shadow banned. Censorship interfered with the United States election cycles and limited business opportunities for advertisers. Joel Comm sounds off on Mario Nawfal's The Roundtable (held via Twitter Spaces). Pay attention, gang; your human rights are being infringed upon by Big Tech and Big Media. Luckily, Elon Musk is here to hopefully set things right. More Twitter Files dropped on Friday, December 9 and more skeletons are sure to be revealed. Reminder: we're collecting listener feedback for an upcoming show.

There are many reasons people enter the crypto space. Some are fascinated by blockchain technology. Some love the web3 aspects of play and earn, NFTs and the metaverse. Others are entranced by a new way of decentralizing finance. And of course, there are the Bitcoin purists. Today’s guest is in blockchain for what we at the Republic of Bad Cryptopia would label “the right reasons”. Passionate about the power of the immutable ledger and how it helps secure our inalienable rights, Chairman Elijah Bowdre has been talking the talk and walking the walk for many years. You’ll love his enthusiasm for the space, which is much-needed during a bear market. Grab some marshmallows and join us around the firepit for a great conversation and a little bit of “saying the quiet parts aloud” on episode #657 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

John McAfee was without a doubt one of the most controversial guests we’ve ever had on this show. We got to interview him six times before his death, and we wish he was still around for a seventh go-round. But in lieu of that, the next best thing would be to speak with someone who was with McAfee while he was on the run from authorities. Alex Cody Foster is that guy. You may recognize him from the blockbuster Netflix special “Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee”. Today he discusses his time with John, the insane situations he found himself in and how he has documented it all in a new book, The Man Who Hacked the World. This episode has many Van Halen references so you’ll want to keep count of them on episode #654 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

A long time ago in a galaxy the same as this one, pointy-headed nerds built the foundation of the Internet. One of those pointed-headed nerds was the CEO of Mozilla, a co-founder of the Firefox browser and the creator of Javascript. Today he is the creator of the Brave browser, a wonderful privacy-based alternative to Chrome and the rest of the corporate browsers. His name is Brendan Eich and today he joins us to discuss the early days of the web, the mess he helped create and how he is helping to clean it up and lead us into a decentralized web 3 world.
